CBS1 coming. Waiting for the seed plant to have large enough flowers to pollinate. I have made Triangle Kush, Purple Pantera, Motherloaded all crossed to Cbanana. Depending on how much pollen I get will determing what else gets made. Most of it will get used making S1. I plan on doing a whole plant this will take a lot of pollen to do.

Dayum those will be some coveted pips! Always a treat following you HH!

Hey Hammer!

Is there any specific reasons to why you chose to grow some plants out in SS#4? I was planning to use that and make A 1/2 and 1/2 mix with FFOF, since ive been having toxicity issues recently. Its weird cause even when I would use just FFOF for veg/flower with other strains awhile back I would get deficiency problems. I've been trying out A 1/2 and 1/2 mix with FFOF and lightwarrior with some extra perlite, but im not feelin this mix for some reason..

With that cut you used being Relentless' clone, is that the reason you wouldnt ever release it? Or is the cross you've made just not up to certain standards of yours? It looks pretty damn good imho. But my opinion also probably doesnt matter to most in this Cannabis World lol..
The reason why I said that girl in the picture you posted looks older. Is because of how frosty she is, and how she looks ALOT more filled out then my plants look at the same age that girl is in flowering.. I wasnt intending to say anything bad or negative about the way your girls looks lol. The purpose of my last post was to tell you how fricken good your plants look, and that I hope one day ill be able to grow flowers that I'd be able to even bring up atleast in my mind to compare to your Grade A flowers.

Is there A certain method to storing pollen for A longer time for later use, that you have found to work better then others? Also any method for storing seeds for a long perioid of time that you like to use? Sorry to ask if you didnt want to let the whole world know lol..

Cant wait to see the variation of those S1s. About how long into flower do you usually wait? I've seen guys pollinate 3-4 weeks into flower, when theres hardly any calyx formation and mostly just pistils. I thought thats A little to early, but they told me its so they dont waste any space and have immature seeds when its time to chop..

I tried Sunshine Mix #4 Aggregate Plus to see if this had less N in it. Some plants where getting a bit to much and required a longer fade. After testing it alone I had the same plants have deficiency's. I went back to my normal HP/ss#4 mix. All plants are very healthy. I will deal with the plants that are darker buy just using RO more. This is working.



I wont release seeds using others locked cuts without permission.

I store my pollen in paper pouches in a seal container put in the freezer.

30 days is a perfect time to pollinate. Seeds need 35-45 days to ripen you can leave them longer if you choose.

OK just hit the whole plant. She will sit for 36 hrs then misted with H2o so none of the other plants get pollinated. Will Hit the main tops again in 2 weeks...


Here are some CC X CB pics. Solid dense flowers. She has more of a chemy nose to her then a fruity 1. She is being faded now. Will take her down in 2 weeks.

Yes, Doing a whole plant. Pollinated 1x at 30 days. Will hit the main tops again @45 days. I should be able to collect pollen 2 more x before she is done. I will get as much as I can before I toss her.

hitting her at 45 day's will this give them time to finish, i'm a firm believer that we need at least 6-weeks to get nice mature seeds..is that CB an 80 day strain??.


ya push IT for all IT has in the fem pollen department !!!...





very nice :biggrin:

2pollen drops? personally I had better results from one good pollination around week 4,
These elite clone only seem to have a sweet spot, of when to pollinate.
Or you end up with 10seeds.

You know what ya doin', keep it up.

getting the plant's to reverse is the easy part, the tough part really has nothing to do with the "HUMAN" involved it's pure genetics and whether it's VIABLE or not..


did fpog a while back things went very good, how ever the plant seemed to take it's sweet time in dropping of the pollen...and then you get what i just went through a couple weeks ago and that's the non viable donors. did a reverse on the VALLEY OG it went pretty much perfectly and i do not think i could have done a single thing differently, how ever the pod's were dud's..most did not open and over time just went yellow and died off, the ones that did open gave no pollen what so ever..

on the actual dusting of pollen i like to do mine around week three through week four, this time frame gives me usable bud clusters as well as the 6 weeks i need to properly mature the seeds out..most of the things i work with are 70 days-10 week's, so if i dust at 3 weeks this gives me 7 weeks to mature my seed stock out properly..

as too if i do the dusting once or twice is just how i fill at the time, if i do it once and say 4 day's later i'm not seeing what i want i will do it a second time..





peace :biggrin:

This plant is not for anything but seeds.. I have pollinated plants at 45 days plenty of ripe seeds when she was harvested. . The 2nd pollination is only a backup in case something went wrong with the 1st. Like you if I dont see what im looking for after the 1st pollination its done again. It really doesn't matter how long this plant stays alive. If She continues to ripen seeds she will say alive. I get fully mature seeds at 40 days. All my seeds are taken to 40 days min. I have got rip seeds at 30 days. I have had no issues using 40 day time for seeds. I take CB at 75 days when used for flowers. If im making seeds I dont care it she goes 120 days. There is no set harvest time if im waiting for seeds to ripen.. When I see seeds rip I take them.

I get more then 2. I collect pollen about 10x. Pollinating plants a 2nd time works well for me or It wouldn't be done.

I meant pollinating the females, not collecting the pollen from males.
I'm with you on that one, collect all you can.

yes i fill the same on the time frame, when i seed a plant that's what it's for so the seeds are the main want..i get ask the Question a lot as to when to chop a seeded plant and my answer is always when the seeds are done and not at all really how old the plant is..i do use the time frame as to when i think they should be done and to judge how ell things are maturing for-sure..

all the de seeded bud just go's into the shatter making material pile for a bit of a later use..




excellent :biggrin:

I'm with you on that one, collect all you can.

Its just a back up of sorts. I have had plants that did not take pollen well the 1st time. 2nd application was needed.. For these s1 seeds It will be awhile before I get another chance to make again . I want to get as many as I can from this plant.

A million thanks to RB26 and Hammerhead for making these available to the public. I was lucky enough to score 3 packs. I am germinating all 30 right away and looking for a killer keeper.

Organkid just made a post on IG about the CB.......he says it's the same cut as his just renamed......anyone run the 2 cuts side by side yet?

Just curious, not trying to stir shit just trying to get the right info.

Cheers,
