How You Can Develop Cannabis To Do What You Want

Nothing but pure, compacted pollen goes into the container and there's absolutely no air inside the container.
Hi.

I would advice not to pack pollen too tightly in vials if you’re not sure it is very dry because it might clump and when it is clumped up the moisture in it might ruin pollen.

I’m sure you guys can guess the reason i know this..:rolleyes:

It’s good to fill the vials so that they don’t have much air in them but don’t pack it too tightly. Summer or more humid season is when pollen will hold more moisture in it and it is easy to clump it and ruin it if you pack it in too tightly.

I drop some silica pellets in to the plastic vial before i put them in the freezer

I'm going to write about staminate selection and clearly demonstrate the I can "get cannabis to do what I want it to do." As I wrote in the previous post, I no longer go into an in-depth process to select the staminate plant/plants. I primarily select for structure and vigor with staminates and to a lesser extent now, smell. Selecting staminate plants from the pure, line-bred NL based on smell was just about impossible, because both staminate and pistillate plants of NL exhibit very little smell. That's one of the criteria NL Seattle Greg used when developing NL, it was an indoor specific plant and had to smell as little as possible, to avoid detection.

Here is a fairly representative selection of the typical staminate plants I get when I'm working on a development project:

The plant on the left is the archetype NL structure, while the plant on the right is the typical Type II/Indica structure. Now remember, the structure I wanted to avoid because of botrytis on big, fat, thick buds was cannabis like this:

Working the pistillate line first, this was the plant I selected for developing this project primarily because of its' structure:

1000013119.jpg


Which, after backcrossing, eventually transformed into this plant:

The One.jpg


The clones of this plant are Hurricane Clones and won't be used in this round of development, 'cause they were in such a fucked up environment. Thinking this may be the case, I selected heavily Type II/Indica seeds in early October knowing I was going to need the couch-lock high to deal with shit.

This was the original staminate I used in this project:

Further generations of this project produced this staminate:

The seeds I planted in October produced ~40 plants. Out of those plants came this staminate, that is _exactly_ the type of staminate I'm looking for to fertilize The One:

It doesn't take a botanist to determine the basic structure of the staminate plants have changed, rather dramatically. :eek: How did that happen in only 3 generations?

Because my cannabis plants do what I want them to do.;)

Wow............super impressive!
What kind of smells coming off them musky mens?
