I mostly make Feminized crosses, I do still make non feminized crosses but that's mostly just for my personal hunts. Not many people are looking for non feminized seeds anymore.

Cheers @Jean-O .. sorry..I meant would you breed from a Feminised cross....?...


(I've never made FEM crosses coz they are just for me to play with.....)

I saw some breeders selling regulars more expensive than Fems recently...coz you can breed from them.......great sales pitch.

Funny how things change.......males used to be a standard part of any grow....you hardly ever see them now.... rarity... makes it so much easier for new growers.

 

[Mossy]

Yeah, I usually don't use that entrance now.

I got a couple of bat boxes when we moved here but the poop danger put me off... ....there are lots here...but they do have rabies in Europe...so best not to tempt fate by attracting them.........

Keep them smaller, and happier, and just yield a few oz per plant.
But easier to work with, especially tying them down and vs the wind.

Do they super crop....?...I find that easiest..no tools needed......but I had a Sati once that was so stiff it would just break...and our strong sea winds just kept snapping it...

Most definitely I breed from feminized stock. You can find excellent potential in feminized and non feminized hunts. I find hunting non feminized seeds to be a bit more exciting possibly because the male aspect, when you drop say 10 beans n 3 females come out of that drop they tend to seem more special mainly because the fall out from the males. It's a gamble and every time you win a gamble it seems special if that makes any sense. I don't believe that non feminized stock produces any better pheno selection than feminized it's a perception thing. As far as non feminized being sold for a higher cost I think that's a little crazy. It's just as easy to go buy a bottle of colloidal silver and reverse a female and make seeds as it is to grab a male n make seeds. My non feminized are cheaper then the feminized because most people will throw the males away because they are growing for the flowers.

That's what I was wondering..Cheers..... ..


I've got Soma Fem Lavender and Auto fem Lavender......I wasn't sure whether to cross...or wait until I could get me hands on the Soma Regulars.

The greenhouse raised beds peppers are looking real happy now. Got some Chocolate, Red, and I think purple bell peppers in one bed and Yellow Trinidad Scorpion and Purple Ghost peppers in the other.

I seeded white clover heavily hoping to minimize soil splashing up on the plants during the rains. It didn't come in near as good as I thought it would. Weeds are doing well! I may go get some bails of straw to put down over the garden.

Last year someone, I don't recall who, posted what they sprayed and that it worked for them. I'm trying it, so far so good. 2 teaspoons per gallon of the disease control on Wednesday's and 1 oz per gallon of the copper fungi on the weekends.

I feel as an original release she's a keeper,... unique terp' profiles are golden IMO -

It begs many questions to be sure! Sweet Seeds seems to have a solid handle on this "autoflower uncertainty principle" ... that is, so far I can't think of anybody who's mentioned that their F1FV's auto'ed for sure... only a few incidences of hair-trigger blooming

A good point about generation depth, in fact Sweet mentions how their F gen deal works with their breeding, and has shown about what % "autoflower" genetics remains is a given cross. Some were down to single digits! And still, once it's locked in, it doesn't ever quit, no reversion...
Krk of HighRise used Lowryder as his foundation for auto's way back when (man did he make quality ahead of it's time!), and had even tried to take a fully auto back to fully photo sensitive just to test his observations... he found the LR auto genes were strongly corrective back to auto'ing, not sure he ever succeeded... that once bred in, like beyond F1 FV types, crossed back to photo parents, further gen's would still show the occasional auto...

@Mossy - pardon the mention of the devil himself luv and the facial tic it triggered , I know how special cres/Krk was to you!
He does have skills though, too bad he's mental at times...

Ooooo -- I verily insist that you pop some imm-mmediately!!

It is all very interesting. I have some Sugar Cube x Jimmyjacks auto f2's that I used a different female and male to make them than the one's I used to finish the auto. They showed no signs of auto. I thought about trying to keep breeding it to see if I can keep the auto out. To many projects though...maybe next year outdoors I'll run a few.

I work with both too. I prefer to use males though, just as you say they "seem more special"
I price mine a little higher than fems because of the extra work, space used and non existent sales. 1-2 a month, its really not worth the trouble but I keep doing it.
AC is cranking today!

Yeah, I'd stay away if there was rabies as well. Yikes!
They do super crop, but like they'd bounce right back in half a day, so not much point.
No need, anyway.
The way this girl's flowering and shaping up already, she won't get that tall.
About 100 cm to 150 cm would be ideal in my mind.
She's only 80+ cm now, but shouldn't get too tall.
(Last fatal words, hahahahaaahaa!!)

. Ooh...now you've just worried me... I've got a 40 plus generation of clean genetics in my parental line....and Soma is definitely US.... oooooh......
