Its nice to be self reliant, you can get a line and grow it yourself and pass it down to your kids. If you get one of the polyhybrids that is less stable, its not going remain good quality forever.

i like his approach. and he doesn't "brown nose" which is a bonus

breeder steve was doing a million plant search last i heard . wheather he managed to or not i'm unsure

 

[pipeline]

Yeah Tom tells it how it is. Really appriciate the insight into growing and breeding. I think my line is becoming pretty stable know at F6 sine 2017 when I began choosing the sativa candy chunk, and F12 since 2010 original cross. Perfect time to get some seed in and improve the line, but going to be sure to save this year's seed and keep it buried in the ground.

This was done with using 2 males, you can still carry on a line with 2 males at a time I guess.

 

[pipeline]

Would need some help with 1,000,000 plant inspections!

 

[shiva82]

looking good. you will probably get away with using the 2 males this time round if the previous selections were more open . Can't beat sun and soil grown bud. f12 now?

 

[pipeline]

Yeah I may toy with the line a little more, it is now segregated in to 3 main phenos with some gradation in between.

1. Sativa Candy Chunk pheno dense, purple, pungent fruity and has a potent punch,

2. Medical Indica Bubblegum type pheno, high density, creeper punch but milder.

3: Overripe fruit smell too far sativa dominant plants which still have pretty good potency and flavor, but not as desirable.

sounds yummy pipeline

 

[pipeline]

Using lots more males with the Deep Chunk reproduction. Need the light for the garden though that time of year. Wherever there is a male, it makes a space in the garden. So I would be happy with half a dozen or so males scattered around. Will have to remove about 25 then.

 

[pipeline]

Will be sending some to ICMAG server fund auction on Seedbay here soon. Have a couple friends who are getting some going soon.

 

[shiva82]

my selections are always aroma and flavour and quality of effects or usefullness of effects first over yield and brute power. we all have different tastes

 

[pipeline]

Oh yeah, thats how I improved the line! I do look for linked traits such as plants indicating more indica dominance and specific traits like branchiness especially branch angle (upright good), stem thickness, internode space, preflower morphology, leaf shape and positioning. Must be observant.

Get to know your plants. Takes lots of time lots of love!

 

[shiva82]

great work pipeline . keep it up

 

[shiva82]

will be great seeing the leb hybrids outdoors

Morning,

Big meech back again well!?

 

[Harpua]

my seed making is solely to make my own hybrids to grow and smoke. and just have fun and learn along the way. Maybe in 50 years of line breeding , testing , stableising , preserving heirlooms, improving plants , all on a big scale could one consider himself a breeder. got to earn your stripes and have the experience

i will be happy with a couple of keeper males

We do it because we love it.

 

[Harpua]

it is not too cold , just raining alot. she is inside somebodies house i feel . i will wait up until 1 am

As a cat lover I'm hoping she returns home where she belongs.

 

[shiva82]

still no sign . i'm off out to try find her or get clues. it hasn't been 24 hours yet . i will ramp it up as time rolls on. made me worried sick. back later
