Mm mmm. Like people, I guess, some very good looking people leave it at that and have Nothing else to offer.
It’s a comfort to know that pretty lady you’re about to deflower is a nuclear physicist too, X.
I don’t grow for bag appeal, but I agree. You don’t have to be an artist to admire beauty.
i do not grow for bag appeal either, with these pollen chucks you never know what they are going turn out like, its uncharted territory, it is a bonus & becomes 'the full package' if they are good looking plants/buds in the end, below the criteria for which i judge these pollen chucks in order of importance.
1 - potency, and what type of potency im looking for, not necessarily interested in couchlock types etc in general, though some of the family demand that type, so a few are grown out with that quality
2 - taste, a very important issue, about 14 yrs ago crossed Sagarmatha Seeds prize winning Indica Ýumboldt with a really good Romulan stud, this Romulan stud produced very nice offspring from others so i know the outcome were an bad gene combination with the Yumboldt - the results were basically unsmokable, a really strange rotten Liquorice taste from that cross, damn shame cos there were 3 large Yumboldt females pollinated, approx 15,000 seeds were rendered useless
3 - yield, there is a point where even the finest quality type must be put aside if the yield is so low, also disease/mold resistance, had some really nice crosses in the past have this issue much to often, so they were binned
4 - odour, important facet here, if the type stinks up the place so bad it can be a liability with detection by not so good neighbors etc
5 - female to male ratio, if this level is below 60% female to 40% male it becomes undesirable, eg 50% male/50% female, most of the 'keepers' are 90%/95% female/male ratio, also Hermaphrodite tendency, if a type offers that tendency without being stressed then that seedstock are binned
6 - bag appeal, this is in fact not a requirement, it is just something that happens sometimes with these pollen chucks, just icing on the cake, yet i feel it is a quality that makes for the 'complete package', though in the end of least importance
That’s a pretty good setup you have worked out. It’d be a dream for me, something like that, but we’re too far south to consider it really, so i do outdoor from November to March and indoor from about April/May to September.
because the site mods do enforce it. My own take on that (based on what you said and what’s in the
