So what i look for when i buy a strain is the stability. If i buy some big tomato seeds and i get some big ones and some cherry tomatoes, i will claim. My crosses are only for fun. Do you follow me?

Yes I understand you.
Now you also see my point too. I could not have said it better my self dude thanks. Way to may rip off breeders out there ripping off people and that just drives me crazy.

AK 47 F1 is a very stable strain by it's self. It's very old and has been grown for many years. The problem is when people try to do crosses with an F3 version or from a breeder who is ripping them off and his stock is tainted. Thus he makes you look bad (well not you but the person who bought the seeds to breed.)

Enjoy making a cross it's a lot of fun and exciting to do. Somewhere I have some text written on making crosses and how to stabilize strains. Email me and I will see if I can find a copy for you.

You did find the topic that pushes my button, my distaste for the pollen chucker..............lol

If you want a copy drop me an email I'll see if I can find it for you. If you want to play with making a true cross it will give you some insight in to the method involved.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . Need help selecting a hydro strain Hi there, just setting up a decent sized hydro grow room (in the next month) and I have been looking at different strains. Was contemplating using "AVALON" but Mr. Emery (who I was going to get seed stock from) is busy dealing with other "governmental" issues, and I don't think I'll be able to deal with him in the future. I was wondering if there might be another source for this strain, or if someone might have another strain in mind...... I'm looking for what everyone wants..... a Rating: 5
