i tell you, control freaks get so out of line here that they think they can even re-define what BREEDING means when anything that gets knocked up has bred. it's THAT SIMPLE. i think some of it just comes from people hatin' on others making an effort to grow something better than what they do. i don't know, but there's just too many members here that think everyone's gotta ask their permission to do their own thing.
i like seeing others cross whatever they have, even bagseed! it restores the circle of life, is doing things the natural way, and i honestly think there's nothing as happy in the world as a chick with a swollen belly. those gals try soooo hard to get knocked up making all that sticky resin trying to catch some pollen.
there's a lot of hate on TGA in particular from a few i've seen i think that's some kind of jealousy for all of the love his gear gets from many of us. jack's cleaner 2 kicks EVERYTHING'S ass i've wasted money on in almost 3 decades by a mile. it's even the best of what i've grown on my own so far looking only for strains that get me high. it's not only visual, which i wasn't really expecting from a 9 week strain, but i just love that warm and fuzzy touchy feely euphoria that's every bit as fun as trippy, but light and floaty columbian gold. i considered making that my next male, but even trippier probably malawi gold got more votes here and would be the start of some rare genetics few others are working.
was just stopping in to throw out some names, but i see i've already been here.
by all means, make them TGA crosses and tell us how they turn out. as i've read up on his operation, i see that despite what the liars try to say, he seeks out either elite clones for parents, or through his own vigorous selection. THAT'S why his strains are so popular... you start with some of the best genes in existence, you gear's gotta rock. 75% qleaner is awesome enough for me to know that the original can't be shabby and whatever the other strain was, ripper? that has to be great too.
there seems to be too much emphasis control freaks put on parental selection, even in other members' personal grows. most of us don't have the kind of space needed to test 50+ mothers, maintain a dedicated mother room, and a third room for male testing that's needed for serious breeding. starting with the best crosses to begin with is the best shortcut. if ANYTHING i've liked gets crossed with JC2, i would be surprised if it sucks, then there's that nice little hybrid vigor bonus that you lose when you stabilize.
rock on fellow pollen chuckers! it's your room! do your own thing!
one thing i want to do is keep on mutting up my original super cali haze x C99 cross i just knocked up with C99 x A11 in every grow and see what i get in a few years... no serious selection or goals even, just infusing new favorite genes every generation. i have some other crosses i want to make more deliberately though. i'm thinking of testing some of the stuff i've already made while i get up and running and using my 2nd gen cross as a male breeder just to say i've used my own male. as counterintuitive as it sounds, i'll chose the LAST male as my breeder as shorts recommends selecting recessive males to keep the rare traits going.
it's all good. it's all fun. don't mind the haters. they think they have a say in what anyone else does. the more someone tries to get you to go with a program, the harder you got to fight it.
I have some of my own TGA crosses going too... basically seeds from a bunch of plants I pollinated with male Qleaner pollen...including a Jack the Ripper (this one is looking the best of the bunch so far)
