IBL Strains From Seedbanks?

[LeMonte]

Are there any proven IBL strains available from common seedbanks ? I'm considering growing in the far future, and what I'm trying to figure out is a way to do a SOG, or at least the closest thing to it, from seed. While clones would be ideal, I don't want to have to keep a separate grow box/cabinet just for a mother. My plan would be to use rodelization or colloidal silver to get self bred feminized seeds, then use these for a SOG. If anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

I have had many years experience doing what you hope to do so I can offer some good advice.

Any of the older lines would be considered IBL's if this was an actual term and not just a term that was made up here at IC.

Unless you are going for pure indica you will always get a difference in size. The good news is that all the tall plants tend to be roughly the same size as do all the small plants. Have am adjustable shelf that covers half your space this way you can keep an even canopy.

My main advice though is to just take the plunge and get a small cab for a mother plant you can make one for less than $30. It takes out so many variables and will just make your life so much easier.

I heard of the term 'inbred line or true breeding' long before IC or even overgrow even existed.
Skunk#1 would be a good choice, probably the most homogenised hybrid ever created.

So you're saying if I go about this I should use a pure indica? Sorry if I interpreted this wrong, I'm a little slow today. The reason I want to use seeds is partially for logistics, and partially for security. If I only have one growing space, then I only have to worry about one thing at a time. With clones, I'd need a chamber for the mother and a chamber for the clones. Though they could be put together, it's still more room and more trouble. It just seems a bit safer, but what do I know.

I'm open to any strain, as long as it doesn't get too tall and it breeds relatively similar children plants.

Window: My point was that an IBL is just a term for line that has actually been worked over many generation something that is becoming rare in today's market.

Lemonte: No I do not advice you grow a pure indica unless you are looking for help getting to sleep. Personally I find the high from pure indica strains to be dull and if I smoke even in the morning it makes me sleepy and ruins any plans I have for the day.

My point was that a hybrid will have a variety of different heights that will be a pain to control in a small SOG, and recommended having a shelf to help even the canopy.

For running a mother cab you dont need a separate clone area just take your clones put them into your flowering room when you finish your harvest. I ran from seeds in a SOG for most of my time growing and you can get good results, I just love my new set up with a very small one plant mother room.

here's my 2 cents, i was where you were when i started
thought in terms of true breeding strains from seed purchases
about 7 years later, here's my perspective, you don't really need that kind of plant
not unless you have a large growing space, similar plants produce tolerance
you will need variety, which turns out to be easy with pollen chucking
now having a IBL isn't a bad thing, i just think it's a luxury for most of us with limited growing space

Are there any proven IBL strains available from common seedbanks like Attitude or similar places?

You don't want to keep a mother and use clones but you willing to jump all type of hoops to make fem seeds and run a sog. I think you can come up with a more solid, less complicated plan.

Maybe a strict SOG is not exactly what is best for my potential situation. I may just grow lots of little plants, but not keep them all the exact same if I do not clone them. I just want to make the most effective use of my space. I like the idea of more plants, less veg time than the opposite.

I disagree that making seeds is more complicated than cloning. Without writing a novel, I would only need to essentially make sure the plants I want to produce seeds survive, then I would have tons of seeds. Clones have their own pros, but also some cons, such a dieing and increasing plant count, which is an important factor. I haven't discounted either seed or clone, just trying to figure out what would work best for me, and which best supports my particular preferences and desires.

Regardless, I could still come up with something less complicated. I'm a tinkerer by nature, and that's what I'm doing with this idea, tinkering until it's just right. I appreciate all the input guys, as every suggestion helps.

No need to write a novel, nothing you can say would change my mind. Guess what dude, a seedling or a clone is.... you got it... STILL A PLANT.

I understand your will. One little perpetual crop wich use every single centimeter. I think you allready thinked about using CS for partial production of seeds ... no need to develop the inherent difficulties of this way.

As SOG lover (using clones), i highly recommend you to think about an automated table/support to don't pass all your life to feed the army of ladies. I like the simplicity of the ebb/flow but anything will be fine. Just remember that you will kill a fews specimens per round (medium wasted) and you will need to move your plants for CS.

Your interrest for IBl lines is not entirely linked with the method choosed in my opinion. In a SOG from seeds without vegetative stage you will not be very annoyed with variations in the majority of cases, even with unstable strains.

You have better to select strains wich are in ease and wich give decent yield in SOG , with an usefull stretch (and wich fit your taste). IBL or not, it will not help you to make better CS seeds or make them more easy if it's what you think initially.

Deep chunk and deep chunk hybrids c9ne to mind. Pretry much any kinf of og as well as Bubba hybrids.
