VM, this isn't exactly the same, but supports the theory. @Neiko and I have been growing a clone (Lemon Paki) for some time - 5years for me, more for Neiko. - that we received from a So. Cali grower who had had it himself for some time. We both noticed that the line was weakening after repeated cloning. I know there is debate about how long a plant can be cloned and we wanted to keep it fresh so I set about to reverse it. I was successful as you will see in the attached pic. Made a bunch of seeds (S1s) and have found the seeds and resulting plants are much more vigorous. Neiko told me his plants are reminding him of the very first clone he received. I just started a pheno hunt with these S1s and had a 100% germ. rate: 24/24.Hello @Greencedar!
Thank you for posting!
Awesome I love hearing the success stories but also important to here the no so, it just makes it better for everyone to judge how to make there grows go correct. By the way! Awesome purple pistils! As I like to be transparent and give as much cultural info as possible for all to succeed.
Just a rip on my very early Green Mountain Grape Fems, only three out of ten, though very very early, seem to lack the luster of the very early Green Mountain Grape that came from the regular seed stock. Though some really special plants are coming from the feminized seed line, I am starting to feel there is a bit of superiority from the regular seed. That being said they are both great, I think there needs to be more trials.
That being said right now I think regular seed rocks! I recently saw a letter from a dispensary grower/sales saying their Feminized clones do not hold up as their regular seed clones which I find extremely interesting. I have alaways thrived to set out to produce the most unique and the best.
What is @petzenpete 's latitude?when she finishes in your latitude
Thanks for the well wishes, the #2 is turning out to be a fantastic lady with rich fruit/mint/skunk aromas that linger on the palateBest of luck !!!!!
Super, I wanted to see if you had any photos, the PS definitely seems to reduce flowering time.
Hey @Lotto!Vman
You're always willing to help with advice and suggestions and sharing your insight. Now to top it off, you are ramming your own seed stock. Transparency is your middle name and we all appreciate it.
On the topic of fem seed lacking in vigor compared to regular seed. Although it might be strain dependent, I've seen the same thing. Something about allowing mother nature to do her thing without human interference says alot.
Hi Tex!My outdoor Grape may be sun deprived and half drowned, but she does have a wonderful grapey aroma. Looks to be two or three weeks behind the beauties I saw yesterday.

Nice male "cola", I had a feminised Ice Cream Cake do the same thing.VM, this isn't exactly the same, but supports the theory. @Neiko and I have been growing a clone (Lemon Paki) for some time - 5years for me, more for Neiko. - that we received from a So.

I'm three weeks in to the hunt and am noticing a lot of variation in the plants as one would expect with S1s. This is my first attempt at selecting "a" keeper and I'm already seeing I may have to do this (hunt) a few more times.
BTW - there is limited knowledge of the origins/parentage of the Lemon Paki strain. I suspect it's a cross of a Lemon Thai and a Pakistan (Kush?). If you or anyone has any knowledge of this strain I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I am not sure what Latitude @petzenpeteWhat is @petzenpete 's latitude?
On late 48 GMG finished between beginning and 2nd week of October
Seriously! How the heck are we in September already???!!!
If Rob vouches for this Mexican hybrid then it has to be legit, IMO. Old mexibrick smokin' Texan, top expert in other words.Zacatecas-Green pheno
Smell- like straight mango dank
Smoke- Smooth fruity taste without any harshness
Effect- very relaxing and introspective. Im very impressed with the effect after just a week of jar cure. It really does remind me of the oldschool mexican weed thats a perfect balance of euphoric and relaxing.
I'll try the purple pheno tomorrow. Really enjoying this stuff VTman
Hello Cactus!Seriously! How the heck are we in September already???!!!
