Hey chimp after you harvest your seeds do you let them air out for awhile before you put them in a sealed container. What is your process after removing them from the buds? I just broke up some buds. Thanks brother

Everything I do for seeds I run for too long in bloom, and when I chop the plants I let them get drier than when I jar weed up. I put them in whatever I'm keeping them in right away (usually with one of those silica gel pacs to keep them dry).

So you really dry them out? More than weed you jar up. Thanks brother I just broke up some Chernobyl buds. Probably 4 O's of seeded buds. I don't want to screw them up

I use the weed from the seeded mother for kief because it smokes so harsh, so overdrying helps there, too.
I've got a lot of mutations (mostly leaf) in these seedlings. These are from my prior GDP breeding project; and there are around 9-12 each of the more and less haired GDP mothers I used:
When I get a chance, I'll take some pics. Some leaves have a ducksfoot appearance, but they're not symmetrical. Four of these seedlings didn't develop the first set of leaves (on occasion I get that), but one is starting to grow them from the side of the cotylendons. I've got a few normal plants from each, though.

Thanks for all the info it's much appreciated! I give the remains to a friend who makes edibles to help him sleep. Bad knees MF ers need to be replaced.

I thought that the stock the seedbanks were holding now was the last of Subcool's work, but I went on the 'tood a few days ago and saw JTR and Jack's Cleaner 2 again. I think I'm gonna place me another seed order.....

Here's most of the last female plants in that last GDP S1 x GDP f3 backcross grow (I have one more runted plant in another pot). They're doing the same thing the last plants did; tucking the leaves straight up:
I think there's three plants in that pot.

The last of this GDP S1 x GDP f3 pot that I have to jar up yet; here's a few nugs:
I've got a runt and three sister plants (all in one pot) to chop still.

Slutty girls with their skirts up. LOL
On a side note before breeding when working with the GDP for the first time before crossing them did you notice mutations? I popped (2) seeds and both were mutants that eventually turned male. I culled them both. Sorry if you already discussed this as I am coming in late to the party.

I noticed a lot of mutations breeding out this strain. Triple-node plants, double headed top colas; all kinds of leaf mutations, too. I don't think any of the original plants were mutated, though.
Here's a few nug shots from those plants in post #1608:

I've got a Legend of '91 seedling that I'm growing (Chem '91 x OG Kush). It grew two main stems and a really weird leaf where the normal main stem is supposed to be. I get mutations here and there, but they don't ever amount to anything worth keeping.

Oh, I just chopped both backcross GDP S1 x GDP f3 mothers today. I have a successful clone of the second S1 mother, but the clone I took of the first S1 mother dried up. I'll have to reveg the clone mother I have in bloom if I can't get a second cutting from it to take.
I have those GDP plants from my first breeding project growing now; maybe I'll get a pic of them later and post it. More of the more-haired GDP seedlings grew than the less-haired seedlings, but I haven't counted them yet to see how many of each there are.

Here's the last of those GDP S1 x GDP f3 plants. It was a runt, so I put it into bloom later than the rest. You can see how messed up it is:
It didn't get any color to it either.

Besides that plant in the last pic, these are the last of my GDP backcross project plants:
The breeding project plants I just started are kind of weak from being under t5s, but I put them under my 250w MH recently. I had to cull two of the less-haired offspring (both male and going into full bloom under 18/6). I'll get some pics of them up soon and get a count on the number of each offspring left.

Awesome work Chimp! I have a GDP growing seeds now. Don’t mean to hijack, but I wanted to share. Dropped 4 seeds. One didn’t sprout, 2 males, 1 female. Chucked 1 male because it was on the left side. flowered together in a 2x4. Both plants looked awesome (pretty big too). The male wouldn’t make any pollen. I kept checking, tapping, .... a couple days later, I noticed some pollen. I reached in and gave the male 1 shake. Smoke screen! So much for selective germination. The female is an entire ball of developing seeds. Im sure ill have my share of GDP X Dr.G, Desfran, Afghan, and Blueberry in the other tent. Lesson learned!
Mom is frosty as hell. Short on purple.

After three crosses of the original seeds, I started losing the purple color, too. That's the reason I'm trying to backcross these.

The last of the GDP plants from the mother I'm doing a backcross to:
It was a runt, so I put it into bloom later than the rest. It would have had more purple if I let it go longer, but I'm outta room to put plants so I gotta chop it.
I'll be putting all of the GDP plants from my breeding project in bigger pots tomorrow, so I'll take some pics of them. And I'll get a pic up of my Pre '98 Bubba Kush soon, too.
