(gee, thanks. More shit to learn, lol) COOL

Also, for future reference...never fem a female seed, femmed last run. Pollinate with a male inbetween to re-assert genetic stability.

Hope all else is well. Say Hi to the wife for us...
And a Hi comes back at you's.

The "fem a female seed." Most of the special stuff I have is a fem from cross female pollination...does that make sense? I rarely cross one on itself. Does that put me in that category of femming a female seed, femmed last run? Don't have a male of the species, that is the damn problem. The only one I did that with was my white widow and came up with a very indica dom that has most of the taste, smell, and high characteristics of the original white widow and thus far (3 years) no tendency to herm. It does not look like it's mother at all.

In particular, RMT, the one I have been playing with trying to get nanners, was multiple stressed fem pollination from several different mothers over time, eliciting this plant.

New item...you mention large mothers. I don't bother, I just make sure I have a clone that took before the eldest goes into flower. If I did it keeping all sorts of mothers around I would be well over my legal count. Heck half my garden is 'mothers' in various stages of vegetative growth. About half make it to the flower room, the rest just perpetuate and the eldest get murdered if count is an issue. I develop tolerance so fast, I have to use different stuff every day to keep down on consumption.

Right now, my garden has a bunch of newbies from seeds I deliberately made. Many will not go to flower first round as I need to make sure that my regular stuff supply will not suffer if any of these are loosers.
