Humboldt Seed Company. They do selections from thousands of plants sometimes and are working stuff to F4-F8 even. CSI: Humboldt has done some hunts of Urkle, Mendo Purps, and Triangle Kush S1s with hundreds of plants and reportedly are going to use those selections to make S2s. Clearwater has...

It takes a real controlled grow to compare soil to soiless. The amount of ions available in the root zone need to be controlled along with all of the other grow parameters. It's a lot harder than just growing a couple of plants side by side and sending a couple of nugs off to be tested...

That's terrible. I guess the genotyping wasn't profitable, especially after they started selling seeds. Sucks for the community since Phylos is like the only one genotyping and making the results available. There is so much more work to be done in this area, maybe some cryptocurrency...

Yes, you can send samples from the three moms and the keeper to Phylos and they can genotype them and tell you which mom is a clone of the keeper. However, it probably costs more than you want to spend on it. $250 for four samples IIRC.

Defoliation makes perfect sense if you have no clue about botany. It's 100% bro science. Ask the defoliators for some evidence that it improves your Cannabis crop in any way. Nope, all you get is "my bro defoliates and he grows fire."

Yeah it's jammed into my stealth cab but I've never had a plant throw so many balls. Found a couple on a Slurricane IX and one on a Mothers Milk but otherwise I never get anything but a sterile nanner at the end.

only cracked one Blue Power BX2 so far and it was very vigorous and easy growing in veg but I'm pretty disappointed to find balls all over as it starts flowering

@Clearwaterbuds what would you say are the terpiest / tastiest strains?

use silver thiosulfate on a cutting of your best girl to make pollen

Some people have an uneasy feeling about feminized seeds so they say don't breed with them, among other things. As far as I can tell it is just a feeling they have and there isn't any evidence or really any specific reason why it may be true.

Useful is another RIU cat that makes good fems for a good price. CSI:Humboldt is one of my favorites, might be yours too if you like purps and OG, also available cheap from GLO or direct if you want a lot of CSIH freebies. Clearwater is dank and available cheap from GLO. Cannaventure has some...

His legacy is a whole generation of hash makers who learned from him on YouTube or at the seminars he gave.

Harsh, I was under the impression that some would germ. If only a few YYs germinated it would be take a lot of time, space, and effort to find them. I doubt anyone would think it is worth it.

What makes you think it "puts at risk the purity of the real strains" ? Anything specific? All I hear is some general distrust for nonspecific reasons, like purity. Feminized seeds are identical to regular female seeds. Can you identify any difference at all? Is there any way, even in...

The same thing happens with inbred reg lines. It's just a function of inbreeding, which is faster and easier when selfing.

Females have all the genes too and can be / are outcrossed just like with males/females. Selfed beans are a tiny fraction of available fem gear. Is there some specific issue with female-only breeding that you are concerned about or is it just a general bad feeling you have about not using males?

If you self pollinate an S1, wouldn't the resulting seeds be S2? I'm pretty sure the "S" distinction is something stoners made up, but why not increase the number with each generation as in filial crosses?

Femphobia has been incredibly damaging. Imagine what legends like Bodhi, Mean Gene, and Professor P could do if they bred with females. Actually, you don't have to imagine, just look at what is happening with newer fem breeders on the scene like Clearwater, Tiki Madman, LIT, etc... I'm pretty...

There is no difference between fems and regular seeds, the half that are female. Can anyone describe how, given a seed, they could test it to tell if it has two female parents, even in principle? Femphobia is just a general mistrust of things people deem "unnatural" and is a broscience based...

Fems aren't made from two fire cuts anymore? That's what seems to be happening when I browse the banks. Breeders are chucking their best/latest cut against all of their keepers.
