Let's see those seed banks!

Four new additions to my seed collection courtesy of a friend.

Have a fem CBD OG seed from Cali Connection,, very high CBD strain which I'm growing this summer.

Got a female THC Pro from Big Head seeds, will be doing that this summer.

Two free seeds with the order, one reg female, Sugar Black Rose from Delicious seeds. And a free auto, also from Delicious seeds,, this' one Is Cheese Candy.

Last year at this time I was scrounging for bagseed to grow in the summer. :idea:

Much different outlook going into this year. :woohoo::amen::party::peacetwo::Namaste:

I made a half ass attempt at cloning, but, yah, no space yet. I have yet to grow out a Herbie freebie, but I should, my collection of them is growing. In a perfect world I'd like to find a seed bank to buy from that give you points when you purchase to use towards what you want down the road. Kinda like my credit card points... oh well, beggars can't be choosers. Maybe I've got a lunker of a freebie already.

I have to get ordering more seeds,,,, kidding,,, or

Buy a cloning machine or if you are DIY savvy you can google a tek and build one fairly cheap. It is a game changer as far as cloning goes. I have two 60 site cloners running all the time with a 99% success rate on viable clones.
 
I think my venture into cloning will start this summer. Or the fall actually. Think I've settled on the six I'm growing, three high CBD, three high THC.

Thanks for the tip, Julz. I'll look, but I am fond of DIY . And they seem to be, straightforward to build. ;)

I am a clone farmer, by trade. I supply a couple of N. Cali collectives and a few larger farmers with their babies. This is my busy time of year.

I have a 98 site EZ cloner and I really don't like it. The complaints I have about it are: it is large, takes up a lot of room in the nursery. The two things that I have a shortage of is space and electricity capacity. I can get 200 starts (in mini Oasis cubes) in the same amount of space that 98 site cloner takes up. Also, I have a tough time controlling the temp of the water in the reservoir.
Plus, I hate cleaning those pucking pucks.

Guess I am just too 'old school'.

Hrm, I don't face those challenges. I have a room for veg, and a room for flower, so space isn't an issue. And, I already spent $1000 upgrading the electrical in the house. When I first started growing, over ten years ago, I could never get my clones to live. Mold would grow, they would rot in the cubes from over watering, or droop and dry from under watering... bugs infested a clone set once. Ugh. I had to go the cloner route because it never worked for me better than 50% otherwise. I bet with my experience now, I would pull it off, and could probably go without the cloner but it has become a permanent fixture in my grow. I have a clone tent, a veg tent, and a mother tent all in the veg room with a workspace also. I just put the cloners on top of the smaller clone tent fit perfect.
 
I have 2 60 site and they are only the size of a mono storage tub. I know someone with a 30 site and it is the size of a shoe box. Maybe if they weren't such a large unit you would be happier with it...?

Also, my seeds came!!

Cali Connection - Grape Kush & Boss Hogg
Dina Fem - Blue Widow & Cali Hash Plant
Nirvana - Aurora Indica
Paradise - Allkush
DNA Gen - Rocklock
Free - World of Seeds - Amnesia
 
I know the feeling. I tampered with some breeding a while back and I was going through pheno's pretty quickly. Never tossed so many plants in my life. Ended up with some nice ones but the process was painstaking.

As a young hippy lad I lived on Maui for a couple of years. I was a "houlie" - a white person. I got to know some of the locals pretty well. They used to 'hide' their 'gardens' amongst the sugar cane fields. They'd plant right after the burn off and replant so the cane and the MJ would grow up together. The MJ would get harvested just before the cane would. Usually someone who tended the cane fields knew it was there and would protect it and (of course) get a taste of the harvest. The favorite flavor at the time was a strain called "Maui Wowie Sensi". They'd get ten feet tall, five feet around, leaves the size of dinner plates, colas as long as my leg (no kidding), and so sticky it would stick to the ceiling.

Just before flower they'd go and 'inspect' everyone else's garden - if there was one, as in ONE male plant they'd pull up and destroy the whole garden, as pollen would travel a long ways, and as one farmer put it "If yer too stupid to remove the males you don't deserve to grow." I never went on one of those inspections, as it would often end up in some kind of a physical confrontation. And if you've ever seen or met a Samoan - well, I don't want to get involved in any kind of physical confrontation with someone who weighs 375 lbs and stands 6 foot 3 inches tall. (and they called him Tiny because he is the runt of the family). I was a little guy; only 6 ft 1 in and weighing 210 - they'd smile and tell me stay behind, they didn't want to have to carry me out of the cane fields ... or bury me there.

Ahh, it brings back fond memories of passing a Universal Joint around on the beach while sitting around a bonfire and watching the sun sink into the water with warm breezes playing over our naked sun warmed bodies.

-- -- Start day dream sequence:
"We got time for one more run at the surf?"
"I dunno, its gunna be dark in ten minutes."
Getting up to get my surfboard ... I say,
"Ten minutes is a lifetime man. I'm going."

To a twenty year old young man - ten minutes IS a lifetime. ** sigh **

How similar of a life path we have followed. I'm younger but almost mirrored that on oahu. Used to get oz's shipped to kaneohe or the trade winds on ala moana when I lived there. Man boy did I love it when my care package with crackers, chips, jelly, honey and most importantly the peanut butter which was hollowed out a Lil and resealed would show up.

Yeah it's never ending I'm trying to cull 50+ genetics down to 5. It creates many sleepless nights.

Yeah that idea would never work with a wife around- the obvious tragedy and marital issues would result I'm sure. Its just me and my kid so the labels are for kind of for him, and whoever else digs around. I figure they'll choose the ice cream over the 'old clams' every time.
I didn't realize how that name sounded till after. I guess it can mean a lot of things. We don't really have the same expression 'cracker' in my spot. It was more along the lines of go4snyper's name- sniping gophers-cracking weasels- you know.... There's a story there but I'll save it to protect the guilty. No actual weasels were harmed in the making of the name though. Not even the one who truly deserved it.
