I'm going to declare the MAC1-hybrid-germination-issue a myth. At least from the anecdotical evidence displayed in this thread.

Longer seeds maturation time and unskilled breeders must have been to blame.
Yea id say that’s a myth I often think low germination rates is due to grower error/method I rarely have a seed not germinate using root riot cubes in the humidity dome, paper towel and soaking in a cup I always have mixed results but that could be my error using those methods to I guess lol I just stick to what works for me.

7 of 12 female Eagle scouts. I had 12 in that pack :) 100% germ. about 36 days in give or take.

These are beautiful!!! Let me preface this comment by saying I used to let my cat sleep on the top of my pots because she liked the heat and wind. It was a clothes closet with a sliding door.

I hate to be that guy, but I'd regret not recommending buying a 4x4 tent and fan/filter. I'd also panda film the carpet prior to putting in the tent. You can use painter's tape to prevent damage to your walls.

Carpet can provide a home to pests and a place for particulates, and will shed. Imagine planting, growing, and harvesting your plants, only to see an assortment of stuff when you use a digital microscope for the first time, to see when to cut.

250$-320$ (100$ tent, 200$ fan/filter, 20$ panda film) seems like a lot. Plus, 50$-70$ for hypoapsis mites (tons of different names), rove beetles (maybe) and your choice of 3-5 other species with 1$ hanging sachet. (I use evergreen growers. They once told me two of the species on my list would attack each other, and then they recommended a better solution. Nature's good guys are pirates.) I'd consider it insurance against losing the money invested in genetics, soil and energy.

No disrespect intended. They look beautiful. The last thing you want is to get a few weeks into flower and start seeing problems, be they bugs or significant particulate deposits on your flowers.

As I write this, I'm watching a show that said, "people literally hate being told how to spend their money."

Envision me as a goblin, troll-like creature except instead of pillaging vulnerable people as they cross my bridges, I give marginally qualified advice to people who didn't ask for it.

Hey @THT, That JP pheno you have in the first shot is beautiful. I just finished one like her. I miss watching her already. My pheno like that did not yield well but i flipped them very early. I never did get pictures to do her justice but you did!
Thanks Capt, this is a really short plant, and only the top one fourth of the canopy looks finished. yield will be low, smells right now are a mix of blueberry and burnt rubber, hoping any of it shines through in the flavor. I defoliated a considerable amount yet I feel like I could have pulled twice as much off during veg and flower and had a better end result. I've got a few clones to play around with.

Hey @Gu~ ...

I just stopped by the GPS site and seen at the top of page, "HUGE" starts in 4 hours... Never got any emails from the Gazette or any notification of a sale. Dont see any info on the site either about what HUGE may be. Can you give us some info on what's happening in 4 hours? Trying to figure out whether it's worth sitting up till midnight for lol...
I wish I could help. But I'm in the same position.

It's about as good a reason as any to stay up.

Jelly Pie and some others are being restocked, that’s all I know.

I actually intended to pull that carpet up before this grow. i never got around to it and well there it is.. i dont know what this pandafilm your talking about is, but ill have a look into it, sounds like a floor cover?

a tent is not a great option for me, there is a bigger room set up there that you do no see. 4x600s inline exhausts to 8inch exhaust fan about 800cfm all together.

thanks for the advice. ive also considered predatory bugs, last round i got hit with fuckin aphids about halfway through flower.. that was a swift kick in the balls.

Awe man aphids are the worst, I tried everything trying to rid them little bastards. Only thing that finally worked for me was Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray concentrate. Now I try to spray that shit on the regular for preventive measures.

your not joking friend. i ended up running spinosad and neem till i took them down. that was about 2-3 weeks before harvest. i didnt want to neem them but, fucksake.. the spinosad just wasnt doing it on its on, and they were getting bad, corpses, shells, shit, all over my leaves, then eventually on the buds.. so i mixed spinosad, neem, warm water, a bit of soap. SOAKED leaves, go light as possible for bud sites. even dumped some into the soil watering. they still started showing back up right at the end, and i just chopped it, cleaned

I buy these cheap mosquito larvae pucks that float and slowly dissolve. I throw one in the reservoir after every couple refills.

I think people use them for koi ponds. They work well for fungus gnats and winged aphid control. I’m sure they’d kill mosquito larvae too if there were any in the garden. Non toxic it says.

Spinosad works great for thrips, but pyrethrin is the only single handed thing I found to work for aphids. I couldn't pick mine up and lay them over to get the underside of the leaves so i took a gallon sprayer and bent a metal sprayer wand w/pipe bender. Aphids are drawn to yellow leaves so I pluck all yellows. I made sure to soak every square inch and the top of the soil along with all the surfaces of the room, then repeated two more times a week apart. I never seen any more. I dont think it kills the eggs so if you have eggs you have to wait for them to hatch and spray again. No dought the hardest critter I've ever had to exterminate and I hate for anybody to get them they can wipe out a crop fast. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the bottom side of the lower yellows, if anybody has them going into flower its nearly impossible to save the crop imo.

Cookies N Chem is what I'm searching through now. The Copper Chem hunt was done in 2016 and yielded the #10 cut.

For the Cookies N Chem. First, I popped 30+ seeds a couple months back, found a bunch of great males but I was wanting to see more females. So I just popped another 33 Seeds. Had to do some digging yesterday but today it looks like all 32 I planted are up and sprouted.

Hopefully I'll find a worthy female for fems and F2's
How about a proper Jelly Pie hunt of ~50 seeds for F2 breeding stock? I would snap up Cookies & Chem F2 and Jelly Pie F2 in a hurry, provided pictures of the selected female(s) and male(s). Anytime you want to send me 5 packs to hunt through to find some bomb plants (and send cuts back of course), just let me know :D

Auction weekend too? @Gu~ I need to re-up on some stock since I got fucked at my lost spot after popping packs. Unreliable fucking people in this world!
