Hey Stunger,
Yea I actually ended up re-negotiating my position and making a clear path with the company so both our needs were met, and was lucky enough to get promoted, a raise and continued with the company for another 3 years almost. It ended up be the right move at the time, and I was able to accomplish a lot, from taking a company from an idea and an office, to a fully scaled, multi license, cannabis extraction and distribution company in operation. I am glad that it worked out the way it did, and regret none of it.
happy ending to the story
Yea I moved on from making "fem" seeds and now have been breeding with "regular" seeds (male and female). I am having great success with it, and have made some rather amazing crosses, however mostly grown by other growers whom I am friends with, I havent really popped to many of my own creations yet.
The feminized process I tried with both CS and STS (silver thiosulfate) and although I was able to have success with both methods, I had way more failures than successes and wasted a lot of time, money and space so I moved to using regular seeds. The problem was some of the plants that I used in the "feminized" process, produced pollen sacks, but many were sterile and did not release any pollen. I also since then have learned that some of the fem seeds I produced were having hermi issues. I'm not sure if it was the feminized process doing it, or that it was the project in which I used tangie. For whatever reason, tangie and cali-orange strains that I have worked with all seem to have a hermi trait in the line, so I think it may have been a combo of both causing issues. Therefore I moved onto using regular seeds and haven't looked back.
Here is the link to my current journal... its a long, ongoing breeding journal, and I don't update it very often but there is quite a few of my projects featured there..
