hi Mark, hope thats not your real name if you live in AU lol, anyway sure you're welcome as everyone else is, no rush, not too serious here
thanks DD, again these are not just pretty faces, they gotta have the facets mentioned before, plenty of good lookers are in the bin cos they just didn't make the grade, eg Alphakroniks Jackpot Royale crossed with Mosca C99 approx 2013, that one were a very good looking result, resin coated buds, good yield, odour were sweet as, yet when tested its smoke quality were a 6 out of 10, they must be 8+ out of 10 to pass, so were not grown out again, it were solid proof that some types can have plenty of resin yet be relatively mild to what you would think, ive heard a number of types available from seedbanks like 'Peyote Purple' have this same issue, looks fantastic & resinous yet without real power
Smoothness is why I grow. Got sick of buying others erbs that was harsh. Took matters into my own hands
thats exactly what ive read about IHG's Purple Punch too on other forums, the Purple Punch from what ive read elsewhere as well were one of the major letdowns in the last 5yrs, widely promoted as the next big thing, certainly were a glamorpuss, yet when real growers like us grew it out it were a letdown, i almost got sucked into that one, glad i couldnt afford those seeds at the time & let others trailblaze into that B graderI've sampled a friends purple punch from I believe IHG. It was the best looking plant I've ever seen in person. But smoke was average at best. Probably 6 or 7 out of 10. I've grown some that didn't look the best that were solid 8's. As a grower it's nice to see a beautiful plant. As a consumer it's got to be the right buzz I'm searching for. I'm not super concerned about types of flavors. But I do love lemon terps. The gassy, earthy, kushy all don't matter much to me. Just smoothness
Us too. With a low and slow dry and a jar cure our home grown doesn’t even taste like cannabis. To clarify - it tastes like cannabis should, whereas nothing we’ve ever bought came close!
i do not know anything of Subcool, only his seeds, which mostly are good, a lot of characters in this game i can imagine lol, that's neat you have a method going that's as least toxic as you can find, with us carrying pounds/kilos of dissolved plastics in our bodies as reported by eminent scientists not so long ago we are in a shitfight to maintain our health even at a reasonable level, no wonder cancers are rife, our toxic bodies are a perfect soup for those nasties to flourish
about 10+ yrs ago, not familiar with the internet being a latecomer, i read a review about Reservoir Seeds Sour Diesel & Chemdog types offered in seed form from Gypsy Nirvana, fantastic gear it seemed so i snagged a few packs, indeed that stuff is without doubt one of the finest herbs ive seen, and it really does REEK to the extreme, still growing it out now, point is it wasnt till about 1 year later i read of the Reservoir Seeds dude having stolen said genetics from some other cat who were the original genuine owner, and it were widely promoted for people to NOT buy his wares, now if i had seen this info before buying the Reservoir Seeds i would probably have not bought them...but then i wouldnt have some of the best genetics in the world in my larder right now? glad i didnt know of the negative info before the purchase lol
last i read on this saga were a startling admission from the original owner of the Sour Diesel...Reservoir Seeds had actually been in possession of the best of the cuts of that type, so it were the best in the world of its type as admitted by the original owner, if i remember now it were that Reservoir had not stolen those genetics, but had been gifted said genetics with the oath of not making it commercially available, which Rez did in the end, there maybe different versions of this story floating around & i will probably be scolded for getting it wrong somewhere, im only recounting what ive read elsewhere as best i could, im really not interested in the skulduggery of it all, as long as there are nice buds in the bowl & no one gets hurt its all good imo
im lucky to live in a remote area with much bushland around with relatively few people, so i have any prospective males together in a group miles away from where i live and keep the girls together at home, when an proper male appears he is taken to another place miles away again to be with his harem of chosen girls, i have 4 different areas for these isolated matings to occur miles away from each other so cross pollination does not occur, so 4 different males are present, i usually leave them together for 10-14 days for a thorough pollination to happen, females are taken out to males approx 3wks after first showing sex because if females are pollinated early there will not be many seeds developI'm interested in breeding a few strains. It'd be nice to have a bunch of seeds to pheno hunt. Mr X do you do open pollination? Sorry if I've already asked. I'm a weed smoker and I forget stuff
hi @Dankman_420, error on my part about IHG releasing Purple Punch, which it never did, IHG released Platinum Punch(Platinum x Purple Punch) + others crossed with the Purple Punch, Symbiotic Genetics released Purple Punch 2.0, though it was the Platinum Punch from IHG which were where i saw poor reviews about, also saw poor reviews about Symbiotic Genetics version as well, when the Purple Punch were first released it were rushed at by many breeders & outcrossed to try to cash in on the hype, it worked for a yr or two before people realized what were up.
she is thank you, only fault with her are the yield is a bit too lean, may have to outcross her to another heavier yielding typeBeautiful!
