Bob's Journey into Hybridisation and Genetics - For Dummies

Today I discovered the Mephisto's Wedding is more of a night time smoke. Lol
Wanted to do a comparison with the Mephisto Wedding x CMD which I was smoking yesterday and started this morning with a lightly rolled one. Which went in alright. Then the second, still ok. But then I woke up around 17:00hours and it seemed I lost an entire day. huh

Well, you get used to the smoke and it is definitely a night time smoke or if I need to relax...fast...then I'm going to this cultivar. I'm definitely sold on the value of the Mephisto's Wedding. I like it a lot and it helps me get into a deep REM sleep, which gives vivid dreams, but also give's you an almost energized feeling when you wake up, because you've slept so well... Anyway, I need to be sparce with these buds as I only have half a jar from this first plant...
The twin sister which was left behind in the pot is starting to fill out though...I can only hope the bud tastes the same...


Her pistils are telling us that she's doesn't have that far to go, but rather that I need to be patient.


On some of them buds the pistils have resided, but I want them trichomes to look as perty as those on the earlier sister.


Some of the lowest buds. I'm not going to look at these for reference, but just to show you I'm not cutting anything off.


The low branch from the smaller sister, which has a couple other branches which could have been harvested, but I really wanted to give them seeds the best start possible. And would rather sacrifice a couple of other budsites to do so...


I've got nice and cloudy trichomes to show, so we're not that far off...


Let me what you think, m'kay?









Next we have the seed mothers. If I would be smoking it, these buds would take me to cloud 7, me thinks.

I'm so lucky with my harvested ladies so far. Not one I didn't like
Have been smoking the SFV OG from Dutch Passion the last couple of days and before I go to bed one half 'n half with some Mephisto's Wedding.
That's why I'm rooting for this girl, so that she can help in filling that Weddin'jar to the brim.


Some parts look almost ready...


...While others seem to be much further away


Where's Waldo?


So glad I used this girl for seeds. Won't be long before I sow them again. Have to keep that jar full you guys...


The Mephisto's Wedding x Coal Miner's Daughter is showing beautiful colors all over.


As does the Mephisto's Wedding x Forum Stomper


Double Grape x Toof Decay is looking ridiculously frosty. You can see it even from this far!


All the above girls where pollinated with a real male which came from the cross between Mephisto's Wedding and Coal Miner's Daughter. So glad for being able to start my breeding project with a male. Thanks for releasing that to the public @FullDuplex And the same goes to the people from Mephisto. Your Mephisto's Wedding is an amazing cultivar and gives me a relaxed sleep, my backache is gone in the morning and I have a clear head when I wake up
I've already tasted the resulting cross and it is equally potent, but with a more spicier flavor.


It doesn't give me the relaxed sleep and pain-free back in the morning like it's mother, but I hope by back crossing it to the Mephisto's Wedding I had growing, it could be found in it's resulting offspring? I'm sure as hell gonna try to find it in the coming months. If not, I'm positive I'll be able to order me some fresh Mephisto's Wedding seeds via my strawman or should I say my main man who lives in the UK and is able to order!!


Look how beautiful. Oh-la-laaa


Oh and before I forget, my respect goes out to my friend who shared these regular seeds with me.
Thanks to your generosity I've got myself some amazing genetics to start my adventures with




Oh and guys, don't be worried, I have absolutely no interest in selling seeds! This is a learning project and what better way then to use these prime specimens to start with?

Hey Wannabreeders

When I went to check the seedmothers who were drying in the tent I noticed the buds from the Mephisto's Wedding where dry...Dry to a crisp as they say. To dry to smoke, but perfect for harvesting seeds...
I rubbed all the buds between my hands until they where dust. Then started to remove the seeds with a pair of tweezers...but that took too long!!


As you can see...the seeds are packed in the crumbly mess...


I then folded the paper to transfer it outside. There, with the help of the tweezers and a light puff of breath. I blew the lighter pulp away and what I was left with where these... A lot better, no?


After moving the seeds side to side, I was able to transfer them to another piece of printer paper.
I wanted to count the seeds, but remembered the sorting issue above and went a bit high tech...


There's an app for Android, which can count things in a picture... What people come up with no?
So, I have...Almost 500 seeds from this Wedding Bx Sooty Bride (regular auto). Enough to play with in the coming weeks...


And play with them I will. Next run inside the tent will be another SOG grow...Sixteen 3.5L pots filled with BioTabs amended soil and one BioTab per pot.
Each pot will receive three seedlings. Which will give me a good chance to find a nice male and a couple of nice females.
