I couldn't bare this low plant count, I would literally flip out to be honest.yes , indeed, but with only a 5x5ft tent (prev grows was a 4x3.5ft) , we try and grow '2' new seeds per grow... can't really grow much more then that, ... so if an elite comes around say 1 in 100 (i don't know the actual percentage), and we grow 2 news seeds with every grow, and we grow twice a year, lets talk in 25years....
Tbh if you do this, I would not bother with seeds unless they are true IBL with 2 phenos or something or you just don't care about finding a keeper too too much. Maybe check out some fems made from f3/f4+ with a solid selection, this will definitely help you in ''finding a keeper'' if the breeder has done good work.yes , indeed, but with only a 5x5ft tent (prev grows was a 4x3.5ft) , we try and grow '2' new seeds per grow... can't really grow much more then that, ... so if an elite comes around say 1 in 100 (i don't know the actual percentage), and we grow 2 news seeds with every grow, and we grow twice a year, lets talk in 25years....
i have a few keepers , not elites (my opinion) but pretty good - 2 diff headbangers, a purple punch , a runtz muffin, an unknown seed, a sdkush (from rez) , and another rez bx2... last grow i finally got a thai melon lady, after 4-5-6 prev seeds were all males... once the grow is finished , i will decide if she is a keeper...Tbh if you do this, I would not bother with seeds unless they are true IBL with 2 phenos or something or you just don't care about finding a keeper too too much.

Yeah those do indeed sound like keepers and not ''elites'' although imo if you find a good headbanger, it can be an ''elite'' for hash in some sense but not flower I think. Tha Melon could be considered an elite (maybe for hash too) just it has some herm tendancies and for me an ''Elite'' needs to be so robust that quite frankly it's hard to throw it off even with abuse. It needs to tick all the boxes, yield, smell, power, disease resistance (probably most important), pedigree etc.i have a few keepers , not elites (my opinion) but pretty good - 2 diff headbangers, a purple punch , a runtz muffin, an unknown seed, a sdkush (from rez) , and another rez bx2... last grow i finally got a thai melon lady, after 4-5-6 prev seeds were all males... once the grow is finished , i will decide if she is a keeper...
all the recent seeds we have bought (3-4yrs) have been fem's... mostly from ace, but so far no keepers- we had 3 golden tiger plants (same mum, all were clones)- we picked one at 100 days then 120, and finally 150.... and it could have gone longer... i def would grow a plant 1/2 a year , but it's gotta be real/real good... so far with ace will have grown 5 diff sativa's, and have not found a keeper...
when u have limited space, and u need to grow some weed for the upcoming months, u have to make do.... i am growing 11 plants at the moment ... 9 previously grown cuttings, and '2' new seeds, which turned out tobe ladies... a tha melon, and a rez bx2 from many years ago... i have cuttings, and i will grow em out next grow in sept - i'd luv to do some selections... just impossible...Oof. I'd go insane popping only 2 at a time.
I pop at least 50 at a time and do short veg times to get an idea of the flower quality faster, then keep clones of the best ones and do a longer veg runs w them to REALLY check them out. If they outshine a mother I already have, they get kept as a mother, if they don't, I keep using the same mothers, but also search 50 more in a different chamber/tent/room.

You pop 50, do short veg to see the flower quality faster, so how do you keep clones from the best phenos? You reveg them and then take a clone? I usually veg the minimum time till I can take clones and as soon as the clones are confirmed rooting then I put all the 'new mothers' in flower, which ends up taking at least 40 days of 18/6 from germination.Oof. I'd go insane popping only 2 at a time.

hey brother , i think old school genetics send karma's seeds in US i thinkPuresativa won't ship to the USA. Attitudes UK site doesn't take any easy payment methods. I gave up trying to order seeds from out of the USA. It's too much of a headache.
