Breeding with 707 SeedBank

[707seedbank]

@707seedbank any updates on the progress of this project? I'm very curious

Took a minute to get them to reveg. I gave them their first application of FloreL today.

Florel is not available in Canada because it is a pgr and mighty dangerous. I dont have exp using it but from what I know it's not good. Getting cancer from making seeds is no beuno in my book
'Toxic effects of ethephon reported in human adults till date are salivation, lacrimation, diarrhea, urgency of bowel movement, stomach cramps, increased urgency, and frequency of urination with decreased appetite with inhibition of plasma cholinesterase activity.'. Hmmm yea sounds like something I'd spray on my plants.....
I think maybe these types of practises are best left to the professionals. Hopefully 707 practises proper safety and ppe protocol. For me, I'd be concerned on what is being left over in the seeds themselves, possibly affecting the ladder generation, but that's just me. I prefer to not spray things that have 9page sds

FloreL never touches any of the breeding plants. I make backups of the males. After I select the winners from the reversed males the FloreL treated plants are tossed and the backups then is used to collect pollen.

very interesting. have you ever tried the banana peel or other fruit method @707seedbank @TheTerpinator ? or anyone for that matter? Florel doesnt seem to be available in Canada, but the banana peel method sounds intriguing

I haven't tried it, but it does sound interesting. I'm pretty sure it's not limited to bananas, though. It's my understanding that plenty of fruits and vegetables produce Ethylene during ripening/rotting. Probably be best to put whatever fruits/vegetables you want to use in a bucket and seal the bucket with some kind of valve on it and a hose that you can point directly at the part of the plant that you want to flip.

They do pollinate themselves. Male plants are xy so you still get M/F seeds

So reversing a male gives a better idea of the traits that will be passed on in breeding?

Exactly

First round of males got the ax. Anything with purple got chopped.

One of the most important things in breeding is really knowing the plants your working with. It's funny to me when I see a person get a clone then 3months later they have a bunch of crosses they made with it... instead of pollin chucking try smoking it first to see if it's any good

Seems like a no-brainer to me. Hard to believe anyone would go through all the effort to clone out without knowing what they are cloning out.

Why did you axe the purple?

I mean I do that with seeds sometimes. Do you think seeded bud is less potent, maybe it is but I'm not noticing a huge difference. Also can pollinate a single branch & leave the rest for smoke. I'm not a pro breeder just a closet chucker so sometimes just want to save time pollinating plants I haven't smoked. Making seeds is addictive as buying them lol

Yeah, I agree with that.

If you look at the first post in this thread, he's trying to breed out the low potency purple phenos and lock down the more potent green plants in seed form.

Yeh, I read that. He also said there that "The purples ones taste incredible like FF but also have the potency of Forbidden Fruit". So I'm just wondering why he's axing the purple's instead of also breeding them.
Edit. Ok, I see. He want's the punch of the Kush Cleaner. Seems to me that there's got to be a purple in there with the punch of the Kush cleaner.

Its the same process as reversing a female to a male to make fem seeds. Instead of using silver nitrate i use FloreL
When the clones are ready to flip and flower I'll go more into detail about itView attachment 5177014

it was hilarious to watch the comments roll in and people doubt you could reverse males… people been doing it years like you had said I also reversed some males last year and can tell you it works wonders !!

I dont want to speak for him but I've followed sha on IG for a while and his heavily worked lines are geared to those who want stable, uniform plants instead of people just looking for one rare, outlier pheno.

Why did you axe the purple?

The purples don't have much potency. There are some green ones that have the flavor I'm looking for with potency.

The boys are starting to reverse. These 2 have caught my eye so far. Both are starting to have a strong fruit punch smell

As a hobbyist, that's awesome . Growing your own seed is very satisfying.

For someone that is selling seeds that's a no no for me.

Male has been selected. This guy has the terp profile I'm looking for. Strong fruit punch terps similar to forbidden fruit but with less floral notes and more candy artificial fruit punch smell. Unlike anything I've smelled in cannabis before. I haven't been this excited for a breeding project for a long while now.
It will probably be early spring before I use him to make f2s.
Thanks for following. See you back here around May of 2023
Happy growing
