Yeah sorry she is called old granny lmfao
I am logged in but watching stargate ark of truth in case anyone thought i was being ignorant
I have saved her seeds for the future all though i also have to admit that the seeds were no where near as strong as from a young and healthy plant.
There are enough viable seeds though to keep her genetics going when i choose to.
In the future i will regrow them and cross breed them with something else.

Sweet Seeds, how long do you think your seeds will be viable... I have heard people give different time. I kinda wish I didnt rely so much on my old strains, I may have had a collection like you must have by now.

Seeds can still be viable even after thousands of years.
I only intend to keep mine in the freezer for about 18 months as i am only interested in rebreeding my own pppxblueberryxsativa for the minute.
I have 6 indicaxsativa on the go as well.
I will add other strains into the mix over then next 18 months but i want to introduce lavender,cheese and hashberry into my mix as well and granny has the lowest priority because she is 3 years behind my new strains but she is the mother of them all.
Is all a headache really but i love it anyway and theres still a lot i dont know but i just basically cross anything i really like with something else i really like and then recross the best results of each outcome.
Keeping granny is a good way of going back to the old genes and remixing the cross in a different way with other strains and also back crossing her with my own new strains.
Great fun.
Always need seedbanks though for new genes from all around the world and i never inbreed for to long not because you cant but because i like to store the seeds and move onto a new flavour.

So nat or anyone else... where do you buy your seeds?
Has anyone seen this Highgrade-seeds.com, they have this cool forum where you can see grow journals of people growing the different strains, never seen anything like it and I was temped to buy just because of that. What a great idea, other seed sites should do this. But then I started to research and found bad threads on how they loose orders. How sad, so sad... some things are too good to be true.

Thats so unfair... for me... head shops in my town can't even sell real glass anymore without getting raided. But amazingly enough all of the gas stations sell the glass now. I just found this HempDepot.com site too... they have my old bluexc99 strain... someone is getting money out of me... just not sure who yet.

Where do you live Nat? Need a new neighbor? I'm ready to split this shithole LOL. But I could never survive the cold.
OK bud shot time!
I cant believe how well marijuana will adapt to odd conditoning. All of my plants grow their leaves pointing to the floor and their backsides are exposed. Although I havent had too Foliar feeding will be super easy, no need to try and get under the leaves... just turn her around.
Some of my plants with more then one main cola were staked with 2 stakes in a "T" formation so I could push colas that may have grown behind forward. I only did this because I did not start these out in the Vertical room. They were vegged and budded for a while in a 4x8 closet while the vert room was in construction.
Day 35 of 12/12, these beauties make me proud.
Can you see the cross back there?
Pollinated White Rhino, I heard this is how you get all female seeds? Is that true? anyone???
Looks like I flattened the hair a little
This crop makes me happy, they love the vertical, and they LOVEEE Co2
The perfect bud shot!
Lovin it!!
I need more pictures of the White rhino. I couldn't seem to get a good shot besides the pollinated one. Will post when I get a better view. Should maybe try it with light off.

I am going to be using fans just like green bastard one under one ontop and cross fans. I will a/c it if I have to. Warm in the summer in the desert. Is that the best use of my space? 2 8x8x8 flower rooms and a flower room 3x5x8. Am leaving for the store in about 30 mins. ANd that pic you sent with the fans moving up and down and side to side I did not understand to well. Thanks for all the help and looking foward to the progress of yours. I think I will use your idea of 3 rows. How far are they spaced out?

You are right to some extent...buuuuuut....
Yes cheaply made female seeds DO come from hermies and are more prone to having hermie offspring.
Real Fem seeds which are more expensive to create are made by spraying a 100% female with hormones that make it turn into a hermie.

yeah i didnt wanna get into the technicality's of using gibbleric acid on plants and such things as that. they would probably be turned away from the thought of looking into it on their own if i had started spraying technical jargon at them explaining how they are made.You are right to some extent...buuuuuut....

but for those that are interested any the method i said that made fem seeds does work for the small time breeder and grower that is just starting. or someone who gets a hermie and needs some beans.
most people just encourage newbs to kill hermies and there are many more things that can be done with a plant developing a few male flowers......but if its one of those big donkey dicks that make nutsacks come out EVERYWHERE you look around female flowers, lay the cursed thing to rest. lol

Hmm very interesting, I guess i should have considered keeping the past hermies for something and seeing what happens. I have a feeling the sour diesel plants I have are just prone to hermie and that they all will.
So if that is what happens to a plant that is polinating itself what happens to a normal female plant that is pollinated by a hermie?
are the seed viable. I am very new at this breeding mumbo jumbo... haha

The only hermie seeds i would keep are from plants that have been forced to hermie with light cycle interruptions during flowering.
These will also be all female but not prone to hermie in the future generations.
A natural born hermie is not good for growers or for seed

Well i look all the hermies out but before they were taken out they pollinated some normal white rhinos... I can see some seeds here and there but not many and i wanted to know if I should expect these to be bad seeds or maybe I could get lucky.
