im not insta. I dont need followers to make me feel good. Seems to very bitchy to from what i hear.
It was actually way to positive for me. I never got anything but praise. But it’s like stepping back in time there’s so much shit blurple buds people growing shit genetics. I tried to start a new account but couldn’t be fucked building it up again they kept red flagging me so I gave up on it.
If I was in the states I could of got some cool freebies I got a few seed mobs from the states dm me about growing there seeds but when they find out your Aussie they aren’t about it. They want legal growers cunts.
Canberra growers are in for a treat

It’s a decent pheno. All reports back say best shit they have had in years. Weather that’s just smoke up my ass is another story. But I love smoking the shit it’s a good high and you can still operate on it. It will go crazy outdoors I’m super keen to run it next year.
Hopefully @Rewerb can get viable seeds it’s the same cut as this grow. The other IB’s I had were good but out of the 10 this one had the most weight by 20% and it’s buds had the most bag appeal.
I’ll be keeping this cut for a while.
The 1st attempt at using CS for seeds was a fizzer, 'cos I didn't read the small-print & ordered 2L of 16-20ppm (should be at least 30ppm). I recently ordered a Litre of 50ppm stuff that should do the job & will start using it on some of the IB & Gelato OG clones I have going atm (thanks @DustyDuke :D) .

I just can't get my head around how to best-use the gear & time I've got. Bear with me as I ramble a bit here & maybe some of you can help me sort my head out on this one.

I've currently got a single IB in the larger tent on 12/12 (I won't call it a "flower" tent, as I'm only using a 600W Viparspectra that's undeniably not up to scratch for the job, but it's definitely gone into flower):

If I put it outside now to free-up tent-space (14+hrs daylight), I'm thinking it'll go back into reveg. If I wait for the Autumn equinox (20 March), it might be too late to finish properly. I could put her into the greenhouse & risk "frying" her like the other two I've currently got out there. OR....Just put her somewhere outside & have to keep an eye on the weather.

I've got 4 x IB in the bush that have started to go into flower, but waaaay behind the tent environment. Those, I'm going to leave to their own devices.

I also have 8 x IB clones & 8 x Gelato OG clones (just to prove to myself that I could successfully do it) in a smaller tent on 18/6 under a smaller (300W) Viparspectra light that really need to be up-potted:

DSCN2239.JPG

Don't bite me, I also fell for the hype when I bought them & further reading has shown the error of my ways....

Here's the conundrum:

I want to create seeds from the IB clones for myself (& others) & also because I promised @beernutz a supply before he goes ordering bulk seeds in May. I dunno how I can realistically achieve that with what I've got.

My reading of optimal CS-application for seed production tells me that I need the sprayed (donor female-turned male) plant to be 2-3 weeks ahead of the recipient females. If I try that with two different strains in the same tent, they're just gonna get mixed-up.

I'm thinking to put the Gelato OG's outside in pots (or just trash them) & concentrate on the IB (which is REALLY impressive already).

Anyone in Melb. want some Gelato clones?

Am I committing the rookie homebrewer mistake of over-thinking this stuff?

Help me sort my head out on this shit, please!

Depends where u live. If stretch has stopped then its flower time.
Thats the thing she just keeps on stretching. Would u give her a prune to promote main stem growth and height or just let all the branches grow to the one height canopy.. the stretch is ridic really check the green vs the lbt lower half of the main stems...

What is this "insta" of which you speak? Does it create messiahs &/or followers of messiahs? Do they follow the gourd or the shoe?

Do they grow Juniper bushes?

If it were me, I’d just put some stakes in and get the outer branches spread out from the centre and let it continue. I wouldn’t top / prune it now.

I’ve got some sex reversal concentrate from riot seeds if you need some. I was thinking of s1 the ib I currently have. I might just chuck it outside and spray it see if I get some pollen. Then dust one of the clones and get some seeds.
The seeds would be reg but you could have fun with them

What about: get the tent IB outside, it shouldn’t re veg now...just keep an eye on it.
Get the IB clones into the tent and cranking veg. Time it and take some new IB clones off them for the females to be pollinated from the main ones in the larger tent you’re going to use the CS on.
It’s just going to mean timing it.
Gift the gelato if you’re main goal is to create fem IB seeds. Or just put them outside too and get whatever you get if you can’t gift them.
That way you’ve got two tents to work with for timing.
You can also collect and fridge the pollen if the timing doesn’t work spot on.

Hey guys!

Looking for feedback on seedbank purchases.. I somehow missed that Herbies wont take credit/debit card payments from Australia anymore. They said cash, bitcoin or bank transfer..

I'm not sending cash. I have no interest in getting bitcoins for a pack of seeds which leaves me bank transfer...

So who has done it? Any advice as to why or why not I should be worried about a bank transfer? I was just going to use one of those prepaid debit mastercard gift cards so had hoped to remain somewhat anonymous in regards to the payment.

Anyway, any and all advice is welcome!

Cheers
