You sound like me, 3 beers and I am wasted, sloppy drunk, I usually smoke massive bowl hits when really drunk to over power the drunkness with some fine bud!!! I hate getting drunk off 2 glasses of wine....LOL

The setup looks good man! Of course I'll help anytime and you aren't bugging me in the least.
Not sure if I was having connection problems or what but it seemed like you dropped out on YM or my messages weren't going through... or something funky was going on. We'll try xboxlive next time.

Going to grow some out, pick the best couple (1 SWxAt and 1 SWxMD), keep them around as clones, and then cross the offspring plants (SWxAt X SWxMD) back with my favorite of the two clones and see if I end up with something stable that I like. I should have plenty of SWxAthena and SWxMD seeds for sharing though. I can't promise they'll be good since the SW is bringing a lot of unknown into the picture. But who knows.

Man that sounds amazing! I can't wait until I get to a point where i'll be doing some breeding of my own =) I'm still getting the hang of just growing the plant lol.

I'm just doing it as a side-hobby to growing but I've been reading up on genetics and breeding for awhile and want to get a bit more serious about it. It's been fun just crossing good plants for seeds but what I'd really like to do is breed towards my ideal of a perfect strain. It really doesn't require that much space or lighting to breed clones (my cab is only about 3 ft high) - give it a go once you are comfortable growing. No reason not too if you have the space.

Im sure the beans will be fine after a couple of runs and you find that right pheno...I am really looking forward to it!!!! SW male plant looks real good, are you collecting pollen and storing it? Just curious if you do that and if so, how? When ever you get some time, I am sure it a long process to write out.

The girls in the cab just started showing their first pistils so I won't really have to store any pollen for any length of time. I've got a glass dome for him for when he is close to done. But all I'm going to do once he starts really dropping pollen is bag him up in a zip-lock bag, cut him down, remove him to another room, remove the flower clusters, throw out the plant, put some silica packs in the plastic bag and wait until the male flowers have dried out and released enough pollen. Then I'll just use a little paint brush or stick to transfer the pollen from the plastic bag to the pistils where I want seeds. I have a cheap replacement HEPA filter over the exhaust outtake on my cab that should catch any stray pollen during the process. I'm a little nervous about the tent girls still though.
Just double-checked and cannabis pollen is somewhere around 25 microns in size, and the filter claims to stop particles larger than 0.4 microns in size. So in theory it should be more than adequate... still makes me a little nervous. lol

Lets hope nothing happens...if it does, you will have enough seeds to start your own seed bank. Which in my opinion isnt a bad thing but right now lets all hope that busy little pollen doesnt get into the whispering eye of Minerva and Athena....LOL I am stoned!

Oh I'm not going to sweat it if the tent girls get a little bit seeded. Just don't like relying on one piece of cheap equipment to keep them from being ruined. In any case, I want/need the seeds in case I can get moved this summer - don't want to try going cross-country with clones. lol
