Golden Advice to New Growers

[El Timbo]

I'm suggesting that hermaphroditism is to be removed out of the population because it weakens/contaminates the good genetics.

Do you test all your plants to find the ones that can't be induced to produce opposite sex flowers by any means?

I'd be careful removing hermaphrodites or any other lgbt plant for that matter.

It is what most people do and most people have shite weed.

If you read the forums a lot of people say it doesnt really get passed to the offspring.

Nature made plants herm to ensure it's survival so imo it is part of the plant and a required part.

It also seems to be associated with higher potency, nanas towards the end of flowering that is.

I'd only remove a herm if it was early flowering or midflowering and was heavy.

Removing herms, 1:1 breeding, mono-clone growing its all commercial practice for money making.

.

Should hermaphroditism be bred into medical cannabis, or should it be bred out of medical cannabis?

if it is associated with increase in medicinal properties keep it..

It always makes me chuckle when people say they preserved or recreated a line by first removing the runts and hermies.

If it was that good that you felt to preserve it why did you do a selection culling particular plants? that isnt preserving it.

i dunno...

Heaps of stuff man, the best were always saliva leaning hybrids for me .

Lesotho is interesting. Looked at that myself. TLT and love of land race both sell versions. If you seed it out it will finish faster and back your line up.

Himalayan’s are very interesting too. But need Some working to finish properly here.

I was thinking about that laying in the bathtub, this guy needs a sativa leaning hybrid. It's a compromise. It would be nice to have rows of F1s. Have you had success with any full sativa?

I didnt know they offer Sotho, I may go see what they say. These came from Sotho in the 60s, and the line has been kept IBL since then. I would be extremely skeptical of the more modern versions. Pharmaceutical interests target these ancient medical strains ruthlessly.

I dont think Matekoane, sotho, is a good choice for the hybrid you need. Nigerian would be a better candidate.

I was interested in Sotho for the medicinal aspects and the cold resistance.

Never ran any full NLD’s. Have run pure BLD and they’re not ideal but on a good year they can be really nice.... Key: on a good year.

You may be right about Sotho being mixed now, Who knows, but such is life I’m sure they’re still good lines.
Could be interesting to compare your line with them and maybe Outcross to them to get some vigor increase?
When was the last time you popped the sotho?

I’m leaning more towards Mexicans myself in the future just for the effects and finishablity.
