Hi, I have not posted much in the past but I read the forums all the time. I have been almost exclusively growing Ace Seeds since 2016. I bought and grew some Nepal Jam and Panama plants that were stolen and Dubi was super kind and resent me my order! Since then I buy a few packs every year to make sure they have money to keep doing their good work.
I grow near 45 degrees north, near lake michigan. very wet autumns staring in october here, not much sun sometimes in fall. I do mostly guerilla grows, growing in wild raspberry and blackberry thickets that get enough sun. They blend right in and the berries are a great, fairly shallow-rooted ground-cover that is a pain to walk through for deer or bunnies that might want to eat the baby plants (i don't lose much to animals). I put them out at the last frost date, give them a little compost a little water and hope for the best. I want to make sure they can survive and Ace has a lot of hardy survivors! I water if absolutely necessary (once or twice a year) but try to just mulch well and hope for rain. The berries are a great living mulch and do a lot to reduce evaporation.
So far I have grown out and open pollinated regular seeds of:
Nepal Jam, Orient express, Panama, Lebanese, Malawi x PCK and Congo and purple satellite
I also made my first crosses the last 2 years using what I had and mixing in some seed freebies. Tried to think of disease resistance in the plants i chose to breed together.
The crosses are:
Pamana x purple satellite, Romulan Sativa(ape origin freebie) x Purple Satellite, Panama x (Malawi x PCK) , Nepal Baglung(ape origin freebie) x Orient express.
I don't have a lot of pictures. I lost my phone and was a little paranoid having so many plants so i didn't take a lot , but i am taking a lot of pictures this year and will post more soon (posted some in the panama and lebanese threads.)
most varieties I have many seeds of. I mostly smoke hash so i don't mind it all being seeded (though its a little better quality if not FULLY seeded)
I wonder where to go from here with all the seeds? How should I go about selecting from future generations without a Mother-room or the ability to keep clones (at least for now). Anyone have a recommendation for a good book on genetics for dummies?
