In House Genetics Thread

Bought 2 packs of Platinum kush breath remix, kept 12 myself and brought 6 to a friend, we were hoping to find a keeper.
Beautiful plants, when they were in veg they already smelled amazing, took clones they got crazy roots in 7 days!
I put the clones in my flower room they look en smell great, can't be happier.

Until yesterday, they were 14days in to flower and it was time to lollipop them, found balls on 6 of them and 3 others I'm not totally sure off but I'm afraid they also got ball's.
They were mostly on the lower part of the plants, single ball here and there, so they were removed with the lollipopping.

I feel sick and disappointed, paid $550 for hermies :?
I can't decide if I should pull them or hope for the best

Oh and I'm 100% sure there isn't a light leak or some timer flaw, grew for years in this room never had this happening.

Have one seed of ogkb x animal cookies x Slurricane freebie apparently fierce animal? I’m considering popping. Last one was excellent. Sort of cologne smell.

So some friends and I have been growing quite a bit of In House Genetics and have tried a few strains from them, some have been great in terms of bag appeal with tons of frost and some have been lacking in frost in comparison - one thing in common is that these In House strains do not seem to yield nearly as well as most other strains we have grown in the past.

Wondering if anyone has any tips / tricks to increase yield with these strains? A lot of them stretch like crazy in the preflowering stage as well.

Strains which we have run include: Slurricane, Sugarcane (super frosty, easy to trim), Jelly Breath (lacks frost), Pancake Stomper, Blunicorn (Very small plant, even if left to veg for an extended period of time), Bananium (Got some interesting phenos, narrowing them down at the moment), Frosted Apricots, Platinum Punch (Beautifully frosty), Black Cherry Pie (lacks frost).

Looking at maybe getting Platinum Gorilla, seems to have some good frost and is stated as being a medium to large yielder.

Not sure, the pack was purchased and cuts were gifted to us by another friend.
It has frost and compared to most other weed out there is decent, compared to the super frosty stuff In House Genetics put out at times, makes it look as if it lacks in frost.

Ah ok

my buddy has a slurricane & blue nana keepers from full pks thats frosty and a shit ton of bag appeal but sucks completely in potency. Imo ihg is just hype now..kinda like exotic genetics. With miserable yields.

Ihg built there brand around slurricane and havnt stopped ..same with exotic and the constant cookies ans cream crosses for years..fem then reg drops of the same lineup.

Got any suggestions on breeders and strains who can compete in terms of frost but offer better yield?

A big issue is that I am all the way in South Africa, so what is available to locally is a bit limiting but I am open to the idea of possibly importing a few packs of seeds if need be.

I must admit, Slurricane is not a favorite of mine and the cut we have I think I will stop growing in the near future and focus more on the Frosted Apricots, Sugarcane, Platinum Punch and Bananium for now - the Pancake stompers are going into flower soon so will see how they turn out.

A lot of their more popular strains seem to have been crossed with Platinum or Slurricane somewhere along in their lineage.

Compound Genetics seem to have some stuff which looks good - Pavé, Mellowz, Gummiez - they do not look bad.
Finding places which have these strains in stock is a mission, combined with me having to ship them internationally is a bit of an issue but a plan can be made.

Yeah I understand the problem with yield and in house stuff... most of the 6+ strains I have grown of IHG has been poor yield but amazing frost and terps most of the time. However most of those strains have been 'exotics' created in the last few years, my favourite from IHG might be frost bite (Larry OG x permafrost) and it ticks every box including fat donkey dick yields and the stinkiest citrus gas I have ever smelled/tasted. So my advice would be maybe go with an old school cross that you know you will like and give you good yields

A nug shot of some Forbidos. I think this is an underrated strain cause I never hear anything about it. It is pretty, potent and tastes/smells great. It smells just like a tangerine but is more potent than any orange strain Ive tried, I'm assuming from the dosidos side. This is an great orange strain for people who probably don't normally like them. The taste is amazing, it tastes exactly like it smells and is almost like you just took a bite of a tangerine, with no rind taste or smell.

LeftOurEyes,

I saw you mention Forbidos a year or so ago. I searched the IHG and wanted to pick just one strain as they are pricey. Your advice... seeing as you tested so many strains, and were very honest about results...caused me to buy some of the Forbidos. Saying it's the terpiest and also about as strong as IHG has to offer works for me. Oh and orange and purple!

Wanted to say thanks for the advice. From what I saw, nobody has a more informed opinion than you.

I am shocked...I havent done a LOT of runs yet, but have grown 20 diff strains by now. This is the first and only that frosted PURPLE during week 3. What a gorgeous plant, hearty and strong, the purple on every sugar leaf makes it look like a chick with mascara! I will update as it progresses.

She's definitely looking good so far. Let me know how she turns out for you and how she smells when finished.

Speaking of freebies, there were 2 "sticky glue" fems that I started with the others. They both popped 1/4 inch tails in about 14 hours. I think it might be a new record for me. They were tiny little seeds too. Hopefully it's a good omen.

For any of you that might be interested, a commercial buddy of mine just sold a cut of "Hypothermia" that he hunted to a larger company for a very nice sum of money. It tested at 28% and over 2% terps. So if you people out there have some Hypothermia beans, good luck on those.

Ironically the best yielding IHG I've grown have been freebies: A platinum candy x kush mints and a Garlic Sherbert. I think so many of his really pretty strains use the platinum male which creates crosses with outstanding frost, but the trichrome is more stalk than head so people aren't blown away by the potency, and I'd be willing to wager that the platinum has low yielding genes. All that said, I've never been disappointed in an IHG grown. Top-notch, imo.

Hey bro the platinum is a female not a male. She packs on frost, adds mould resistance and can increase yield and add gas afaik according to in house genetics.

All the platinum crosses I’ve done so far (granted not that many in the grand scheme of things) have been some of the best yielding plants out of all of them.
