Happy new year to you too P Chimp and friends. Thanks G Yeti.

Happy New Year Chimp and everyone that visits this thread! You are welcome Weasel! I know of a site offering 15 regs from In house for $50 per pack right now if anyone is interested let me know. It isn't all of their big name hype strains but there should still be some nice plants in there and its 5 more seeds than they usually put in a pack for half the cost.

Happy new year's everyone 
Yeti I saw those 50$ packs. So tempting

My New Year's resolution is to stay away from tempting things, though. I got a good start last night when I didn't shake the champagne bottle up and aim it at Chimpwoman to wake her up.....

Happy New Year Chimp and all who visit. I still have a dimple in the chin from a champagne cork popped about 40 years ago.

My new year's resolution is to make my own seeds. Been tossing male's out for years. Time to put them to work

I broke a knick-knack a few years ago, so I hold on to the cork and just settle for the popping sound these days.

I'm hoping that something good comes out of the seeds I'm doing in my breeding projects. Hell, for all I know purple is a mutation that goes back to normal every time and I'm just chasing a ghost. "Clone only" tells me that getting something as frosty as GG#4 in seed form and having most offspring look like the original plant probably isn't likely, or more people would be doing it. I'll find out, I guess.

Hopefully you find what you're looking for. I'm getting ready to back cross a nice Chernobyl to a purple strain and couple other strains. No clue what I'm doing. But it's a solid looking male. So it's going to be plant orgy time soon 
Gonna do a open pollination. Hopefully I can keep it contained

I think purple is a recessive trait that requires you to breed two purples together multiple times in order to stabilize it. I think it would take 4 generations of successive purple to purple crosses in order to get rid of the dominate green gene. It is possible to do but time consuming and easier to accomplish when you can start hundreds of seeds at a time. I really hope you can find a nice purple GDP male to hit your purple girls with.
@Dankman_420 if you have the funds jump on at least one of those packs. The Jupiter (Chem4xGoliath) should be an awesome strain with great breeding potential.

I might have a good start on that if backcrossing helps to narrow things down, but then again I don't know what side effects backcrossings have. Quite a few of these GDP S1 offspring look like they have color potential. And I've got living cuts of both S1 mothers growing (both had purple color to them).

Chimp have you ever made feminized seeds?

I made a colloidal silver solution and sprayed it on a nice Grand Daddy Purple female to get these S1 seeds I have, if that's how the breeders do it. I'm not sure how they produce fem seeds for the market, though.

What's your opinion on fems vrs regs in breeding. Seems when I buy regs they usually do better than fems when grown out. Do your fems seem as vigorous as the regs you've breed

I just read up on it (Cannabis Breeder's Bible). One guy light stresses a large # of females to find a true one (that doesn't hermie) and treats it with gibberellic acid to get male parts to form on it. Then he pollinates a female clone from the same plant and all the seeds are female (and supposedly alike).

I always wondered how they make fem seeds Thanks Chimp

I've been using regular seeds, hoping that nothing funny about the chromosome affects the outcome. I've never really noticed any difference in vigor between the two, but there's a lot more oddballs and weird plant traits with fem seeds I've grown.

My plan is to get a personal breeding project going like yours chimp. Looks like a lot of fun. I'll start it towards end of the month. I've got couple tiny clones to grow bigger first. Stop by and see the circus if you get bored
