I will add this. I am a pollen chucker. I love breeding seeds. I cross the very best strains I have available to me and look for winners from these crosses. However my grow area is very small so I do not have the luxury of pheno hunting. I can give you a very good example of what I mean. I recently reversed an incredible Gorilla Glue #4 plant and used pollen from this plant to pollinate some buds on a gorgeous Purple Punch plant. Just a few small buds that produced 117 feminized seeds for my collection. Now I'm in my 60s and don't really anticipate growing out all 117 of those seeds. Heck I might not grow more then 30 or 40 of them. The thing is, seed number 47 might be the next Blue Dream or White Widow. It may be a genetic masterpiece with all the dominant and recessive genes in just the right places. When crossing strains you just never know what you'll get you can only hope.
Now, I’m not an old guy, but Im very interested in the subject of cannabis breeding and genetics.
My take on what’s going on is this; It takes the work of a lifetime to really find and stabilize an exceptional outlier cultivar that you can then use as breeding stock. Back in the 60s 70s 80s when there were so few people even growing cannabis, not to mention breeding that you only really had a handful of really excellent genetics to choose from. In the 90s cannabis really took off and it allowed for more people to get into breeding, and allowed those breeders to grow decent populations for sifting purposes. This led to a larger amount of outliers worth keeping.
This coupled with the fact that most of those elite level cultivars are clone only, resulted in a generation of breeders who looked for a stable solid male they could throw at all of these elite clone only cuts. People can literally make a business off of one amazing male, and every elite clone you can get in your tent.
These people are not breeders in the truest sense though, they’re what we call ‘pollen-chuckers’ because they’re not working generations and generations of a gene pool they find intriguing in order to create a sexy IBL that can then be used as breeding stock. That kind of breeding is more what you see in preindoor before it was a market and it was just a way of life.
But why don't we cross top strains like White Widow and Northern Lights ... like breeding two top race horses?
Here is a sample order I just put together in a hurry on the @SeedsMan site.
10- Seedsman Blueberry feminized seeds <-----grown this and love it
5- Peyote WiFi feminized seeds <--------brand new and I am very excited
3- Seedsman White Widow <-------grew this several times and love it every time
The total with tax but not including shipping came to $107.46
BUT
When purchasing the 18 seeds above I would receive the following seeds for free!
3- Seedsman White Widow feminized seeds
3- Seedsman Alaskan Purple feminized seeds
5- Seedsman Peyote Gorilla feminized seeds.
So for $107.46 + shipping I would receive a total of 29 feminized and popular seeds. This is why I love our sponsor @SeedsMan
This past winter I reversed a Sensi Seeds Northern Lights plant, took the pollen from this plant and dusted a few small buds on a Dark Devil auto plant I had running at the time. I've grown out 5 of these seeds myself. I ended up with two distinct phenotypes. There is a purple pheno which is good, but nothing to write home about. Then there is the green phenotype. That stuff packs a whollop with a high that lasts a good long while. I tell friends with whom I have shared these seeds to toss the purple phenos if they find one and to always start 2 or 3 seeds at a time so they have a good shot at a green pheno.
I love Northern Lights. One of my all-time favorite strains. I find both the Sensi Seeds version and the Nirvana seeds version to be extremely stable. That is why I ran a Nirvana plant along with the Sensi NL that I reversed and made a Sensi NL X Nirvana NL fem cross. Every plant grown from these seeds are nearly identical in structure, size, resin, and effect. You gotta love that.
Dr. Seeds is great if you're a Canadian(USA maybe too), such as myself. Free delivery, doesn't have to go through customs(except if American), and gets to you within a few days. But as Beez said, Seedsman is number one for pricing overall when you include their freebies. You often get more with the breeder deals going on as well.
Then you have all the sales, such as Halloween, 420, etc and that alone will blow your mind.
The oldies but the goodiesBut at this point ... for me ... I think I want to grow a Bakerstreet ... a Chemdawg ... an Acapulco Gold ... a Northern Lights ... a White Widow ... something with high yield and high THC ...
Shhh don't get Penny started. Been a bone of contention for decades. Similar to Black Widow and White Widow?I thought Chemdawg was the guys nickname ... I will look that up again ...
How was the density on the flowers want one that isn't fluffy?Seedsman White Widow <-------grew this several times and love it every time
I had two different phenotypes. Both produced delicious tasting buds that were mighty potent. One more indica leaning with buds that were more dense. The other with the same psychoactive effects but the buds were less dense. The less dense buds were ideal for rolling joints.How was the density on the flowers want one that isn't fluffy?
I know. They've both been a little touchy. Here's my CBD girl for comparison. Sowed the same day in the same soil. Topped twice with a bit of bondage.Definetly too hot for the sad girl.
I've also noticed he's back around with his own label. The Katsu cut of Bubba kush is pretty much world famous Bard. Super legit veteran.
Look at the Pre 98 Bubba crosses from Katsubluebird, should be right up your alley.
