Clearly that's the BEST way, but almost everyone is butting against space and plant counts as limiting factors, and if you have many males to select from, its going to be prohibitive to run crosses with all of them and compare. You have to narrow this down to a small number, which means you...

I think its been "studied" empirically by thousands of years of human breeding for maximum potency. I can see why this idea might be attractive (less leaf = more resin). . .but a moments reflection on experience should indicate that its false. Are stretchy stemmy hemp plants the most...

No. This has nothing to do with self- vs non-self pollinization. An inbred line is a line that has been bred to its own siblings for many generations, to the point where all plants from that line are similar. Its the opposite of a "hybrid". Your Exodus kush is a cross between two...

Just to be clear here, "breeding" (mixing traits from different lines to create new ones) is different than "se-ed making". Making se-eds is one part of breeding, but there is a *LOT* more to it than that. My suggestion is, if you want to be self-sufficient with se-eds, you don't need to do...

"Stable"/"unstable" just refers to how uniform the plants genetic loci are, it has nothing to do with whether a plant is stressed or hermie. Oversimplifying, inbred lines are "stable" and hybrids are "unstable". Whether or not any given strain is "stable" depends on how it was bred and...

Its BS, and you are correct. If this were true then cross of landrace A (m) x landrace B (f) should yield totally different results than cross of landrace B (m) x landrace A (f). We know this isn't true.

First of all, if you were to cross a "pure" (aka inbred) Sativa A with a pure Indica A, the resultant F1 plants should all look similar with minimal pheno variation. Absolutely NOT. All genetic traits of interest assort independently. Things like height and plant structure are controlled...

I don't think this is an odd question. I'm sure people have tried; I don't know of any technique that works to do this. Apparently the phenomenon can happen in nature where phenotypically male plants put out rare pistillate (female) flowers, but its exceptionally rare. I vaguely remember...

Can't form an opinion until I've seen it, grown it, or at least know something about it. Right now, there isn't even a Green Crack line listed on the HSO website. HSO Green Crack is listed at Attitude, but there is no picture, and no price, so I strongly suspect that the ad copy is a place...

I've seen this as well. I think this is more the case with sativas and sativa dominant hybrids, where the tops seemingly just want to keep growing forever. I actually just harvested a diesel-indica hybrid plant that was a bit deceptive this way. The outer buds on the top colas looked...

You're wrong and right. First of all, I've never seen any evidence, nor even heard anyone claim before that the ends of individual buds (flower clusters) are more potent than the bases of the same bud. While at a mathematical level its probably true that some part of an individual bud is...

If you want to max yields per plant, then you'll want to use the "SCROG"/trellising technique. Basically you just train plants to create many tops and direct them to grow onto a horizontal string/wire grid/trellis, so get a perfect horizontal canopy of tops to maximize light usage indoors...

Yes, in the late 1970s and 80s there was some strong weed coming out of Alaska's Matanuska valley. Yes, people have things they believe are MTF, and yes people sell things they claim are MTF. But I don't think its clear that there ever really was a unique strain by that name, or that if...

Can't answer the question, but this purpled Green Crack S1 was pretty tasty with a strong fruity/mango scent/flavor: In general, most of the current purple strains are indica hybrids since most of the original purple lines are indicas or indica-dominant hybrids. The only pure purple...

GHS uses cup wins as its #1 marketing strategy, and is cash-rich. They wanted another cup-winning strain, and Bogue (who probably needed cash; see timeline above) sold them one. Makes sense to me.

I'll stick to facts. Brett Bogue is American, he's the owner of Apothecary se-eds. Bogue has a lot of experience growing, he was (and maybe still is) one of the instructors at "Oaksterdam". He has a personal history of cancer. IIRC it was some sort of rare skin cancer requiring radiation...

Williams wonder, is 100% indica, easy to grow, will turn you into jelly, and its high yielding.

I'll echo what's already been said. If you had the knowledge and experience to maximize yields off a plant, then you wouldn't have to ask this sort of question. First get at least 3 grows under your belt, learn how to veg plants, top them, and train them, get some experience growing...

Well, I don't know how this compares to "Grape god", but I look forward to hearing your review/report. If you like indicas, you'll probably like this one. To answer your question, the pollen I got from the prolonged darkness induced male flowers was fertile, but those were "full" male...

The stems on these are relatively sturdy, so you may not have to stake them. Don't think I ever needed to, though it certainly can't hurt, especially with the side growth. For perpetuation, my suggestion is to take off some of the lowest branches and use them for clones for your next round...
