No worries mate, and Happy Christmas to you, and yours.
I understand the sentiment, and as I’ve returned to growing I’ve realised that is almost a full time occupation, that is unless you can spend the money to automate things. Which most people including myself can not. I myself sold a lot of stuff to convince my wife to let me start this venture. At this point I am actually considering pursuing a few genetic projects, as well as running open pollinated preservation projects to ultimately offer to the public. But this would be far down the road as I believe it takes time to truly find a gem worthy of sharing. All in all, I got lucky because I’m currently a stay at home dad, who went back to school to get his masters. It’s hellish at times but because I’m at home it’s alittle easier to just poke my head into the room and make slight adjustments.
In regard to open pollination I would venture five seeds, if open pollinated together, would produce a decent mix of phenotypes from the original breeders line. This would be enough to play with but it’s worth noting that you need quality genetics from the start or the endeavor is mute.
Concerning Snow, I have learned through diving through numerous threads that hes pretty far in the weeds with orders and hasn’t been heard from in six plus months. The place where I bought some of his gear is direct from the breeder and when I contacted them they emulated the six month pause in receiving new stuff from him. Bodhi, on the other hand, had a website and while I’ve never ordered from him it seems pretty simple. Here’s the link for an overview of Wintergreen; https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Winter_Green/SnowHigh_Seeds/
Ace is simply a carrier for Romulan Genetics, Romulan BX1. I bought my stuff right from the breeder Jake who sells “picture frames,”.
Do you only grow outside? I understand that, I had hosts of issues back in the day growing outdoors in the Michigan cornfields haha. That destroyer is looking tasty so I would consider it but that Nanou description of, “acid-like trippiness,” was pretty intriguing.
Yes that is the right website! Awesome place to drool at some amazing varieties.
Thanks for the holiday wishes!
I trust yours were nice and the new year started well.
Congrats on being stay at home dad!
What do you do with your masters?
Automation isn't feasible for me either. Hell indoors isn't with the price of electricity in Los Angeles. Thankfully the sun is free. I'm in the peocess of figuring out how to get my soil as cheap as possible. I reuse it but last season it was either to hot and\or the pH was off, trial and error...
What genetic and open pollenation projects are you looking at?
I'm not sure I have genetics people want preserved but I'll happily preserve them for myself which was my plan from the start.
I'm there with you on finding a gem not seeming like an easy feat.
The more I read on this the more I wonder if my choices were good ones.
I have mostly Ace which seems like a fine choice as does Doc D. I have sd ibl from katsu but may save those til I can do indoors or just decide I want to try sd outside. I've read its a finnicky beast and likes a cold room to bring out the terps ones looking for. I have a few others that I cant think of but honestly the only one that comes to mind that I question is Cum Laude (positronics) and that's only because from the very short reading I've done on it based on memory from 3+ years ago I wonder if the genetics are what is said. I vaguely remember reading the end of posi and how things were dealt with wasnt the greatest BUT this is from my flawed memory and it is the internet...
Thats sad about Snow, I've read nothing but good things about his gear.
That winter green looks to be good for sure!
I'll google Bodhi's site I guess lol
Yeah I've seen the romulan on Aces site.
Yes, I only grow outdoors. Being at the mercy of the elements can be frustrating especially the catapillars.
Im debating a small ~80$ greenhouse from amazon but I may build one as its possibly cheaper, I'll have to price it.
The acid trippy is what drew me to nanan. The pearl pheno is what drews to destroyer. Hopefully colorado sativas started with seed stock that has the possibility of pearls in it. Ive read at some point the recipe changed a bit and it was either impossible or highly unlikely to get it.
Hopefully I can get some seeds from that site in time for this season. If not, next. Ive been looking at a few things...
