EC - How'd you like to coordinate on that breeding project? I'm planning to do some crossing with my Kali Mist next fall. I've got Eldorado (Oaxaca Mexico landrace from Sativa Seedbank) that I want to cross it with to bring more sativa into the KM. I also want to cross TGA's Apollo 13 with both of them to bring the flower time down. Those african sativas would be nice to cross in there too while the pollen is flying.hehehe ..... macg hooked me up with a few Malawi Gold and a Mulanje Gold (Holy Smoke Seeds), both pure african landrace sativas that i've been craving to breed with. i'm hoping for a boy of each
chef .... of course you get some bro, you are the sperm donor and need to see your children
BP WHATS HAPPPINNNNN lolGet it done, lets test em. SEED THE WORLD!

True that Chef. Im glad im part of it much love to Indi for introducing me to chef and ec. I hope one day i can offer half the knowledge/ growing skills you guys have till then ill be here soaking up knowledgeEc, Med, Hs- I can't wait to see those crosses. Or little circle is becoming quite the crew... Glad to be a part of it and loving the ideas of those african and mexican lr's going into some crosses! Yo ec, update on the ray mysterio jr cut, how's it looking?
Yea EC I had a nice vortex male I named brad Pitt cuz he was a stud...long story short he took too long and I missed my pollenation window so I'm gonna try to look for a male in the ace of spades I got comin or maybe qush...but anyway how far ahead should I start the ladies to make sure seeds finish?uro - if it is a male, don't cull it. I can show you how to get pollen without worrying about infecting the females (unless you want to).
I usually don't pollinate past wk3, but depends on the strain. seeds take a solid 4-6wks to develop fully. if just hitting a few buds, don't worry about changing fert schedules .... but if hitting a lot of branches or an entire plant, you need to up the nutes/micros, i usually add more granular kelp and a wider variety of guanos to the soil if doing a a lot of seeds.Yea EC I had a nice vortex male I named brad Pitt cuz he was a stud...long story short he took too long and I missed my pollenation window so I'm gonna try to look for a male in the ace of spades I got comin or maybe qush...but anyway how far ahead should I start the ladies to make sure seeds finish?
...singing .... '.. it's raining Chocolate in da House!!! 'no worries, if its a male I am definitely keeping it to get some pollen, I took two cuts of her/him if anyone is interested, actually I have cuts of all three that are starting to root, so if anybody wants some chocolate rain for their garden let me know
Oh wow lol I think I read somewhere in these threads that you use cs to make your fems, correct? I guess if you knew where the genes were coming from and could put your hands on the actual mother, they could be an awesome tool. I still enjoy the selection part of reg. seeds tho, idk it's something about looking for something that I know nobody else has that does it for me.i made some fem beans from my Denver Durban and are growing out a few of them now. gave medshed a few and he has one that is just a week or two from coming down (pics in his Kali Myst thread). if done correctly, with good genetics they are a great tool in the arsenal. no worries about plant count #s because you know you have all females, is the main appeal for most folks I believe. that and knowing that aren't paying for a lot of males, if a pack doesn't go right (I had one pack, popped 10/11 seeds, 9 of 10 turned into males, lol.)
