Wow he’s got some nice gear too. I’m guessing that chucker’s paradise site is more for breeding specific discussion instead of general cultivation?

It leans more toward that but its pretty general cultivation , less newbs and more guys swapping chucks and stuff.



Try it, its fun and not that difficult, possibly look into STS instead as its a lot less work than CS and yeah you want to be careful, but even my first effort went well, Harvested a 1lb plant with 4 colas I pollenated , I had a few stray beans I found where I didn't want them, but that was my error.
Maybe check out this thread here , same thread can be found over there too.

Sorry if my questions have been gone over. I wish I had time to go thru the thread thoroughly. My wife is epileptic and my kid has bad ptsd. I've dealt with phsychosis(I probably spelt that wrong) for a year at a whack. It's almost ruined my family. I got 3 awesome kids but they go thru a lot...

3 chopped Blizzard Bush from yesterday and the drying closet is all about hash stink of dank. Actual mix volume in their containers was 1/2 gallon ROLS.

Copper Chem f2 (@Amos Otis) in the Underdog for first herb today. Will have to sprout f3s soon as seeding was successful with f2. Also have 3 Black Triangle x Copper Chem f2 in veg.

On that note, what’s the chance of getting a really good pheno with an S1 cross? I know cannabis only self pollinates in extreme conditions, but I read that silver inhibits the production of female flowers so that male flowers form by default, instead of from stress. Seems like the effect would be different, more like how naturally self pollinating plants work. I’m curious to learn a lot more.

If you're talking about a true S1 (offspring from a "selfed" mother, ie. Purple Punch S1), then your chances should be pretty good. The breeder would've selected their best mother for the selfing process, and the resulting S1 should display little phenotype variation.

If you're talking about the resulting crosses from using the mother's "selfed" pollen on an unrelated female, I think you basically have a F1 cross that happens to produce 100% female offspring.

What are your chances of finding a good pheno? If you buy beans from a reputable breeder with solid genetics, then for a personal grower, I'd say you can find at least 1 worthy keeper in every pack on average, whether it's a pack of fem'd beans, S1's, or F1's.

Commercial growers and breeders will have very different expectations when it comes to finding keepers. They might be looking for a very specific trait to use in a breeding program, and will select from much larger populations than most of us. So for them, they probably require 10 packs to find a keeper.
 
Trying some Black Gold f2 bud, oh yeah! Just as good as Greenpoint original which was a very nice up high with face rush capabilities but that familiar time fuck is loud and clear. Lemon/black pepper and piss smells. Powerful shit. Black Gold was my first Greenpoint purchase maybe 3 years ago.
 
@MtRainDog @coreywebster Thank you both. I’ve read a little about STS but just haven’t looked into sourcing it. You can buy CS anywhere. As for my question about S1s, yes I was talking about self pollinating a favorite pheno. Clones go senescent after a while and I was thinking an S1 pollination would be a great way to preserve something long term. From my understanding there are two mechanisms for self pollination — rodelization and herming out from stress. My understanding is if a plant herms out from stress and self pollinates it will cause every future generation to herm out as well. OTOH with chemical signal manipulation it more closely mimics natural rodelization.

Apart from the amount of work it takes I opted for sts because there are a lot of cs sprays which will say they are x ppm and are not even close to what they claim. I built a little cs maker but I wasn't sure how many ppms I would have as a result so went for sts because following instructions would give me an exact result.

I didn't want to take the chance of all that spraying and find out my cs was too weak and have the reversal fail.

Guess that was just first time nerves though. :bigjoint:
 
Heads up to Aussies, I think my Purple Cake I ordered in late Oct has been popped by customs.
No notice or anything, just never arrived.

I still placed a BF sale order to be delivered to a different address so I'm pretty confident I just got unlucky on that one pack.

The nice thing about chuckers forum you dont get threads locked for absolutely no reason. You dont get post deleted for answering questions.

A lot less hater action.

That’s a good thing. I’ve noticed some of that on here. It’s my policy to avoid making controversial posts and IMO nothing ruins a forum more than drama and gratuitous shit talking. I’ll check them out for sure. I really want to be competent with self pollinating my good phenos because of what I said earlier about preserving the genetics. I’m definitely open to trying some crosses down the road once I’m willing to dedicate a lot of time and effort to unpredictable results. From my understanding the only way to know if your pollen is good is to grow out the crosses. There is apparently no way to tell beforehand. That seems to me like there will be a really high failure to success ratio.

False alarm!

They finally showed up today.
Yay!
They obviously took the scenic route. :D
 
pig whistle, chinook haze, sour cookies, stardawg f2, and texas chem are all the sativa leaning hybrids I have.

I am growing out copper chem and east coast stardawg right now all under qb288's. I would like to grow a sativa leaning plant if anyone recommends it under my quantums. If they will be better for outside or something I'll save them for outdoors and grow a regular hybrid or maybe a very indica dominant hybrid this time inside. I was considering the G-moozy if I do another one because it states it is 90% indica so that would be a fun time growing a super indica plant as well. Any suggestions are appreciated! Just trying to figure out what to start for my next seeds.

The line up:Cowboy kush, G-moozy, GG4 s1, Pig whistle, california cannon, chinook haze, cherry wine s1 (hemp), raindance, banana orange daiquiri, bodega bubblegum, eagle scout, bison breath, sour cookies, stardawg f2, texas chem, catalina wine mixer, snake oil, pebble pusher, pioneer kush, purple crunch

Some of these packs I just ordered, but my plants should be ready in a month so I'm looking forward a bit so I am ahead of the game. I plan on popping a pack in the next week or two, and plan on mono cropping in each tent so I have two packs I could pick
 
I've heard some strange things about G Moozy and I have 2 that are 2 weeks into 12/12 one is tall the other is tall AF with large internode spacing giant leaves.
 
I’m hoping some of the beans I put in jiffy pellets Monday night will sprout by this weekend. I know it takes longer this time if year but waiting for them to sprout is difficult.

Just got confirmation my money order was received. Caaaannot wait for these beans! Purple MAC, Purple Crunch, Stardawg f2 just to name a few.

I got that confirmation on Friday but no shipping info yet. Have my blackfriday order on hold I'm not sending anything till the older one ships haven't had the best of luck with shipping hope its better this time.
 
Updates on my Doc's and Jelly Pies. 4 of the plants are at 66 days and have very few few amber trics at this time. The last plant in the back left is a JP that was started later than the others. Harvest time is coming soon. The plants are: Jelly Pies in left rear and center, Doc's in right rear, right front, and left front.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I ordered with crypto tho, on the 20th and 28th and both orders still say processing. Luckily I can't use these new beans until closer to summer 2020 so I'm not really in a rush here but still. Attitude shipped beans to me quicker and they're overseas. I can understand if its a mom and pop shop tho, I'm sure they were slammed with the sales so just trying to be patient.
 
I’m guessing it’s safe to assume that if one of the ice cream punch beans I put in a jiffy pellet on Monday hasn’t germinated yet then it’s a dud? I’ve got a bad habit of checking my seeds a couple days after I plant them. It gives me peace of mind when I pull that bit of peat moss back and see a taproot. Sucks that happened to one of the fem seeds but it’s just part of growing. I’m leaving that pellet alone for a few more days to see if anything happens. One of the snake oil beans I planted on Monday has already sprouted. So far I’ve averaged about 75% germination on these greenpoint seeds so I may try soaking or paper towels even though I don’t like handling germinated beans. Maybe they don’t like the jiffy pellets, because at least one bean from the pebble pusher, OBS, and ice cream punch has been a dud. I’ll calculate an actual germination percentage for all 20 greenpoint beans I’ve planted in the past 2 weeks in a couple more days.
