Very Nice GMT, how is the x-18 treating you? Do you have any new research material you have cooking up? .. Take care my friend and don't be a stranger ha ha...oh
Hi Forest, not sure yet, I tried 2 seeds of the x-18, both looked promising but then died. I can only assume they are a little finicky about their environment, so I'm trying 1 seed in a new compost (planted about 12 hours ago). The sandstorm though from cannabiogen is now tested, and I have to say, appart from the sandstorm in your mouth (so aptly named) its a strain I'd be happy recomending to people who arent looking for a party weed. Deffo more of a medical smoke, mainly for those with sleep problems I'd say. And it survived the stress testing with no ill effects. Slow to veg but takes off at 12.12 switch over.
Hey D, good to be home again bud, thanks. Everything is cool with me, I just got a little busy and sidetracked for a while and didnt have much time to dedicate to anything. My time is my own again now though so home I came
Hey hey hey hey! Welcome back GMT! Just randomly logged in yesterday and saw your message - great to have you back! Hope everything is good with you there, and that life is treating you well.
Also great to know that your tri line is alive and kicking
I fully understand the bit about disappearing for a while, happens to us all... So little time, so much to do!
Spectacular photography as usual, have you been running plants all this time or did you take a break from that too?
Thanks to you I'm getting more excited about my tris again - finally got both a male and a female in the same batch, and now there are seeds ripening!
What kind of percentage tri/quad are you getting from recent runs? Are you still germinating large numbers of seeds? Hoping that my current tri x tri will give some decent chance - the first cross with only one tri only gave about 2% chance for tri seedlings.
Either way - sorry to start blabbing again, see you got me all fired up now
Looking forward to seeing more of your beauties!
hey bly, thanks, I'll get some 3d pics up at some point a took a bunch but havent tried them yet.
hey mulle, thats cool you have tri^2 seeds. I have had a couple of plants going, but i let my clones go. I'm starting completely from seeds again. and am about to sow some tri seeds so i'll let you know my numbers. right now my closet is bare though. I'll soak around 100 and see what comes up tri. I hope for around 10% each time but it varies greatly. I would expect you to get 5% on the first gen but you never know.
I've been really lazy recently, and havent really run this thread for some time now, but after having some trouble popping seeds recently, I thought it was time I made a fresh batch. So from time to time, I will try to put up a few picks to show how I'm getting on.
First round of seeds I found this one which I believe to be female,
second round I found this one
And today in the 3rd round i found this one
I will try to pop a 4th round and see what i find in the next few days.
But I get distracted easily
Hey D
round 4 never happened as I worked out that by the time they became ready to breed with, the ones I had would be too late for seeds to mature before their harvest date.
Some pics.
not sure what on earth theyve done to the site, but its now impossible to alter the order of pictures in a post. Which in this case is a real pain as Ive got colas and branches of diff plants all mixed up.
Thanks Blynx, I think most of the interest in this has fallen away, and I took a little break from it all for a bit. But I'm gonna keep going with it a bit longer and enjoy taking photos, so I thought I'd post a couple up now and then.
jus checked the thread so i thought id say hi. gonna be working my way through it tonight and tomorrow... looks like some interesting shit dude... so have you got this trait stabalised?
Hi Darko, I recently cleaned my gallery of all the old rubbish that I had filled it with, and then realised I'd also cleared it of a lot of the photos that are in this thread, so thats why there are a lot of empty spaces. Sadly, (and I've been trying for years) no I havent stabalised the trait yet. There are a few things that I havent tried though, that most breeders use. I havent yet selfed one of them which is something that I should try, but try buying distilled water in the uk lol, its near impossible unless you live in a major city (which I dont). I think thats my next step, after this seed round.
Saying that though, most breeders will tell you to buy more than one pack of their seeds to find the best example of a keeper, so I'm guessing what passes for stable these days is less than 1 in 10 seeds, (which to my mind still isn't stable). So I guess its all relative.
