crosses with Super Silver Haze.

Mango Haze is one of my favorite strains. I select the hazey phenos. Mango Haze (MH) and Super Silver Haze (SSH) have the same lineage except that one of the mothers used was a different pheno. The way Mr. Nice Seeds (Shantibaba) breeds, the F1 seeds have diversity ranging from Afgani indica leaning phenos to haze phenos. The Mango Haze pheno I'm working with now flowered for 17 weeks, but 13 - 14 weeks is common for sativa hybrids like SSH or MH. Some people note they harvest Mango Haze in 10 weeks. In F2 seeds or crosses it depends on the phenos used in your cross. I've read nothing but good about Super Silver Haze.

Hope that helps.

Good Luck.

As long as the grow operation is set up in a manner that doesn't cause potential danger to neighbors and yourself there should be no plant limits.

I disagree. If I want to do something that is dangerous to myself, it should not be any damn business of the government. Too many people want the government to be your momma and your daddy but people in the government are no smarter or better equipped to run your life than you are.

But besides your contention that the government should be able to prevent you from doing anything that could be a potential danger to yourself, I agree with where you are coming from.

Excess production of mid-grade product doesn't effect top shelf prices.

Very true. Walmart didn't stop Whole Food Market from becoming a 14 billion dollar company. Walmart did not put Bergdorf Goodman out of business. GM or VW did not put Ferrari or Porsche out of business. Having the government pick winners and losers only leads to crony capitalism.

No one is forcing, (force and the threat of force being the government's stock and trade) anyone to go spend their money at Walmart, just like no one would be forcing anyone to buy cheap weed put out by a mega producer. If a mega producer ran everyone else out of the market and then raised prices, new competitors would come back in and compete on price and quality again.

No one has ever developed a government system that is as efficient as Adam Smith's Invisible hand of the market.
 
Thanks for the input who dat is, Jhhnn, and satva:
So I popped 3 bagseeds, all sprouted, and 4 of the SSH crosses by Mile High Seed Company.
3 of those 4 beans sprouted, and the sprouts are about a week old or so now.

A bit more info on the Mile High Seed Co. seeds:
I got 2 free packs, 1 is "Brothers Haze" (Apollo 13 x SSH) and the other is "AllGreens Haze" (Kong x SSH). I popped 2 of each, but since I am a noob, I didn't think to label which seeds went into which container (D'oh!). Of the 3 that sprouted, one definitely appears to be have much more of an indica structure in the early leaves; the others seem very sativa even in their young 2nd set of leaves.

The bagseeds are a random smattering of genetics which I know nothing about; but this is my first time growing so I thought it'd be fun to experiment with them in my first run.

My last post got removed but I wasnt't notified if it was a TOU violation or not. I've been trying to steer this post back on to the Seed Bank topic and way from people questioning the ins and outs of A64.
New Colorado Seed companies I've found:

Johnstons Genetics (?) (https://www.facebook.com/people/Johnstons-Genetics/100008376722540)

and

The Vault (http://mmjamerica.com/the-vault-genetics-marijuana-seeds/)
which I guess is Swerve's Colorado company:

"Swerve is a geneticist from California who is known around the world for the incredible strains and seeds he developed with The Cali Connection. Because most dispensaries buy clones without trying to improve upon the product, geneticists are rarely ever approached by dispensaries. Surprised by the astounding humility of MMJ America and the respect for his work, Swerve decided to team up with MMJ America to create The Vault Genetics, LLC"

Given that Denver seed selection is limited, albeit growing. Any recommended recreational sativa, uplifting sativa hybrid clones or DJ short genetics? I'd like to cross DJ short genetics to some Ace/Cannabiogen genetics. TIA
 
I've crossed the ACE Vietnam Black x Thai [F3?] to Cannabiogen's Peyote Purple, Sensi Seeds Mexican and some other F2's I've made, will be testing them this fall...

I haven't seen much info on RootSeller seeds but I'm having some serious issues with them. I bought 24 seeds and planted all of them. Out of the 26, 10 of them are autoflowering and males. Is anyone else experiencing this with RootSeller seeds? Super bummed and won't be returning to CAM for seeds unless they can make up for selling autoflowering seeds as regular seeds.

Sorry it wasn't clear... I planted 10 at first and every plant was auto and male... Since I'm just growing for myself I'd be thrilled with one female at this point so I quickly planted the rest. The other 14 are only a few inches (26 was a typo, I only have 24). My biggest issue is the autoflowering so that bothers me but the other issue would be if they all turn out to be males. I'd be shocked if the first 10 was a coincidence. Is that what you are suggesting?

I went by CAM on Broadway and picked up Rootsellers whole lineup..

I went there a few months back and bought several flavors. I haven't had a chance to pop any yet nor have I heard about any either. I hate hearing this though as I was really hopeful for some good stuff out of their interesting crosses. Apparently everything they sell is crossed to their Ghost Kush male. I wondered why they bothered going on about a male of a clone only strain.

Are you sure they are autoflowering, and not just preflowers? Males tend to sex themselves before females around day 28-35 at around 6-8inches tall. If they are just showing a few small clusters I would wait to call them autoflowering, also how many hours of light are they on? some plants like to show more preflowers at 18 hours instead of 20 or 24 of light. Also remember that undifferentiated growth at nodes can make girls look like boys and vice versa.

I'd say if at day 35-40 of 24 hours of light it looks like colas are forming, then you have a real autoflower.

I have also had 10/10 males before. Not statistically likely, but we're dealing with biology not math. I would be more unhappy with 10/10 females from supposedly REGULAR beans as I would be constantly checking them for hermaphrodite traits.

I picked up a pack of Rootsellers PCK P2's, but not sure if the breeder understands what a P2 is supposed to be or if he meant F2, P2 is usually used to denote the GRANDPARENTS of a strain or line, as in P2-P1-F1-F2- and so on...

I hope you have better luck with your Ghost Hybrids. I got the PCK hybrids and I'm growing outdoors. I have a few more last hope seeds and only time will tell if I'm lucky enough to get a female. After about 3 weeks all my plants were riddled with sacks so I'm sure they were all males.

I'm looking forward to some better quality seeds in the future but I guess it will take a little time before Colorado has it's share. Thanks to everyone for responding. It's more then I can say for CAM. They won't respond to me.
