I was only thinking that a certain variety is only genetically predisposed to its own characteristics.
Selfing a plant for fem seed keeps the genes wrangled.

Whereas open pollination lets the variables be more variable.

Hmm, a lot more concise and eloquent after a bit of sleep.

Variability works both ways -- you are as likely to end up with a lower yielding plant as higher. The predisposition of its own characteristics would help a fem seed carry the yield traits of the mom and prevent low yield.
 
True. That's why I didn't side for either. It comes down to what you can do with what is given to you. Plain and simple.
 
Yeah, I'd much rather have regs as well. But that comes from being a farmer, I'm sure.
We like to keep seed, and you've got the best bets with open pollenated varieties.

Go heirlooms!,IBL's!!
 
No, sadly. And down to two of ten. Rest went moldy on me.
Gonna do another effort, I'll get more detailed later.

Smoke one for me (this means you, yeah, you, the one reading this;) )
gonna go blow some shit up now!!

Pretty sure molding like that means you are not giving them enough fresh air. They need to get fresh air in the dome at least once a day. I usually leave the holes on my dome slightly cracked to allow just a bit of air in. Are they outdoors or inside? Guessing the heat would not help too :)
 
Inside. I think these last two are gonna make it.
Hope so, all this clone failure makes me not wanna clone no more...**insert pouty voice**
gotta head to work now.
Later y'all..

I feel you on that Owl...my last attempt was nothing short of depressing. At least you have two! All of mine died :lol:
 
I fuckin' hear you on cloning owl... it's discouraging to me when I have more failures than successes... but awesome when it works :) Hopefully both those cuts survive so we split'em up and then for sure one of us'll get clones off the offspring ;) are both those from the same plant or any idea even?

It looks like I may have lost my apollo seeds... i looked in my box and I got a Timewreck sleeve, an Apollo sleeve, and one bag sitting loose between them, so.... guessing it's timewreck because apollo seeds are pretty small but no idea... it could be either... ugh! That's 6 quality seeds lost if i don't find'em! I'm thinking about popping all 18 I got though....

i would be pissed as all hell. u seem awfully calm so hopefully u just misplaced them
 
Well it's only 4 quality seeds... it's definitely the timewreck... figured it out by the # of beans left... so i have 6 apollo. Took the timewrecks out to pop extras before and never put them back I guess... so unless they are hiding in a box somewhere here they are gone. Better keep those Timewrecks safe owl! hoot hoot!
 
Oh, that blows. I thought I had posted that the timewrecks had died a while back. The day everything got super hot and dried out. The others came back, but hadn't realized they were nute neutral, until you told me so they are only now starting real growth.

The AOS is still doing the best of those.

Check your mail/pm.
 
Well guess that means it's timewreck pheno hunt time :) i really am hankering to do an AoS pheno hunt after seeing the pics nugbuckets posted of his AoS buds that looked like giant weed bluebonnets. But those AoS are still going and I got 6 more beans I'm about to pop, so can probably wait til next grow for that ;)
 
Check my thread

I have something weird with one of my outside plants. The top of one looks like it touched a light and burnt. But the top has never been near a light
 
One of the apollos did that too.. Sucker bugs.. Ya know, stinkbugs, shieldbugs, and the like.

But I'll go have a looksie, and then start to ramble.

Yeah, sensei, talking about the mainlining thread?
