Bob's Journey into Hybridisation and Genetics - For Dummies

Lol, yes i'm well aware of the downside of people wanting new strains, tbh it's going the opposite way in the u.k. slowly, people are getting bored with all these fruity, candy, sugary sounding cali type strains that just don't deliver yield wise for the grower, compared to the old strains widow skunk cheese etc etc.

I've only come across 2 strains that are on a par with the strains i was gifted, those two being kep x cookies by pcg and rotten banana by thugpug, i have grown out over 60 +cali/colorado strains in my quest these past four years, to no avail.

This is just something i fancy doing, i'll do swaps with many, as i already have done with a few in the usa, as i have the entire last remaining stock gifted to me by my uk breeder friend to do with as i please so to date i have swapped over 100 x 10 x packs for similar amounts of cali types mainly autos to date, and a fair few of some well renowned strains from Ethos, Seed Junky, Copy Cat Genetics, Memphisto, etc etc.

so onwards and upwards.

I understand what you mean. Growing a White Widow from Dutch Passion for the second time. First time I lit a joint with it's bud and I was back in the 90's. Look no further if that kind of thing is your cup of tea.

Nice!! Are you gonna grow it out? plz say yes

Hey breeders and wannabreeders

It's been an easy run so far. Since pollinating the females there was little to nothing to do...But since it was a while since I posted in this thread, here are a couple more bud shots. You can clearly see the seeds in there.






















Regards,

Bob

Wow. They look pretty spectacular for being preggers. Hope the seed babys come out how are how you are aiming..even though if its not, it could potentially be better then you even imagined accidentally on purpose!

having re read that..my Musty Buffalo harvest is gonna be a straight Slapper!
thanks for the update

We will see. After you posted this morning I went for a look, but the buds were still wet as I've put each girl into a separate paper bag which I left open. Thought it would be dry by now as it's almost been a week, but I guess the paper bags hold the moisture inside the bag for longer...

I've heard lot's of great stuff about Grove Bags, just a shame I can't order them without paying myself blue for shipping
I put the paper bags outside in the sun today, this dried the contents enough for me to remove the seeds. Then finicking the seeds out of the plant material and while testing each seed for viability, but using the ol' press down on the seed with the finger trick. Afterwards I disinfected the seeds by swirling them around in a 12% H2O2 solution, then flushing them with demineralized water and drying them off with a piece of paper towel. Finally I put them inside a folded pouch made out of a piece of paper towel together with it's tag so I know which seeds are which. This should help in removing that last bit of excess water the seeds were exposed to. I'm left now with ten paper towel pouches, some +50 seeds and some with only 5 or 6 seeds.


In any case, the F2's I wanted to make provided me with plenty of seeds to play with coming winter. I'll be putting my thinking cap on and start planning my triploid experiment. If there are people who have experience in using colchicine please do chime in. I'll be needing all the information I can get to bring this to a successful end. Or not, as it's still an experiment
