It is wonderful to see all your plants, you are clearly a good steward for these lines. How do you avoid cross-contamination if you are open pollinating? And where is the Peruvian line from?

Thank you my friend

Every year I choose what line I want to use for pollen and then I grow out a bunch of seeds and choose multiple males from that line and match them to multiple choice females of the same line. I collect pollen by hand for storage (to use in later projects) and let the males pollinate before culling them. Depending on the year, I have various gardens going to allow for the production of multiple lines without cross pollinating. I do have other females in the garden from different cultivars that will also receive the pollen but I only allow males from one line at a time. I am blessed to live in a location where growing year round is possible. This allows me to breed to my hearts content

The Peruvian I collected personally deep in the jungles of the Ucayali region of Peru

Thank you for the reply! I was inspired by your thread to pick up a pack of the Sinai from RSC. Looking forward to growing it out!

Very happy that you got yourself some Sinai. There are some truly amazing gems to found within that gene pool. I have been blessed to find the peachy, rose water perfume expressions that I have come to love so dearly but others have found cat urine expressions that they claim are spectacular Last I heard the seed stock they have is still from the original release so I am excited for you to discover something unique and special

Had to harvest my Jack Herer x Sinai x Waziristani today because some unseasonably early rain come through a few days ago and two top colitas started to get a little bit of mold . Even though I primarily grow heirlooms/landraces (my true passion) my wife enjoys some of the old 80s/90s classics like the Jack so this one was for her. Came out super nice very pungent poopy diaper, hashish, a touch of fruity sweetness and very floral. Only lost around 1/4 oz to the mold I’m guessing. I have it drying on the rack and plan to con it tomorrow or the next day depending on how quickly it dries

I pray all my friends on here are enjoying the harvest season mold free

Himalayan and Afghani based genetics

These are some of the stickiest plants I have encountered even lightly caressing them leaves my fingers coated in resin super sticky and delicious scents of citrus, grapes, sugar, and cream
