plant propagation ... the easy way
clones_2.jpg
 
ez clone

how long can clones stay in ez clone??how long till they root...later bongtime
 
high there:) in the ez clone most strains will root in 7 to 10 days ... just be sure to use clean pure ph balenced water... once they sprout the rooting is rapid & you have to get the clones out of the machine before the rootlings get tangled..

i am just a hobby plants man ...i don't know much about breeding...just really starting out in breeding myself ... i am good with plants and i want to learn...it is a difficult playing field ...i've worked with mainly two excellent strains over the past 7 years (Super Silver Haze, and C99) lots of strains have come and gone but these are the keepers. with the C99 i've been able to F2 & F3 the line always using multiple males and females ... there is some variety but they maintain a very tight and true to the original genetic pool... on the other hand, the SSH only exist in the form of what i like to call my "mother clone" stock ... she is a special female SSH indeed, still alive after 7 years of clone to flower, many moms along the way, but all genetical twins to the 1st....her vigor, and growth potential are astounding... she demands propagation.... i had no SSH males, no way of getting SSH pollen, so it only seemed natural to use the C99 line... used 10 males from my C99 line to create a hybrid seed stock that could contain some potentially amazing genetic matches... what i did was to let them open pollinate a dedicated SSH mother plant for seed production.... so i know have some seed stock to start work with ....

the next step in breeding is to define what my goals are, what am i looking for in a plant?. do i want variety, or could i achive stability? do i want to end up with a stable seed line, or am i looking for a special plant to become a future parent, or clone mother? what traits can you hope to improve?
 
hey hempy ... thanks for that link & that article is really good... there is so much info in there for me to use...i'm going to read it again and then bring out some points

Hi all how would an inbred father crossed into a hybrid lady(G13 xkush) sort of turn out ,would it dip very deeply into the gene pool or express either parent closley on the first run of the beans. cheers

hi red eye....that is a difficult question to answer ... the only way to be sure in your particular match is to perform the testing needed ...make the cross & then test them out... compare the progeny to the parent stock & observe the F1's to find exactly what inherited traits are dominate, and what traits are recessive ... everything else is just theory

Thanks flower~power, 3weeks till i cut her and hang to dry for 4 weeks, then i will pop em, if i got space cuz i think a few strains of mns will be taking pride of place,should be interesting to see , peace.
 
redeye...try to germinate a few of your own seeds as well for your next grow..it is a special feeling to grow your own cross ... you'll see what i mean if you do it.. my current and best projects are involving a pure line of C99 from the brothers grimm circa 1999 ... super silver haze circa 2002 from mr.nice ... the original sour d clone from 1998 ... a haze stock of unknown origin ... and a 3 way cross of snowbud X hawiian X kush ... also have a very nice skunk#one female ...it is a sweet skunk, not old school skunky skunk, but i still like her

peace... F~power
 
Hi f~p ,did a nice bubblegum male to a skunk pure lady ,turned out very nice,8 seeds,3 girls all diff but all good and yes it was a great feeling growing it out and testing them.peace

[/url][/IMG]I dont consider myself a breeder lol but i did this cross to see if i could get an easy to grow plant,which looked like skunk,and last but not least to smell like bubblegum,did i suceed,well it grew itself,looks a mix between the skunk lady and the lady b/gums(which were a bitch to grow),potency was no better no worse in my opion,clones from this hack have showed tremendous vigour,i have 2 in 12/12 now so i'll see how they turn out.peace all
 
have nearly comlpeted my first seed run.
i have these to look forward to:)

jtr (1) X hashberry
jtr (2) X hashberry
jackscleaner2 X hashberry
blackcherry X hashberry
supersilverhaze X hashberry

and i get to name them!:)

jackberry
jackhash
cherryberry
superhash:confused:
 
Hi all,f~p your ssh x c99 looks a tastey gal,did u reduce flower time,improve taste,yield? forgot to say all mine carried the b/gum smell ,yield the same,but grew like the pole plant of the b/gum,10 weeks to finish,skunk mom took 8 and the b/gums took 12 weeks to finish,male b/gum selected out of 11,and the best skunk lady chosen outta three.POP some very nice genectis you got there the jacks look interesting crosses i hope you post some results up,great work all.peace:)
 
hi pop ... cheers ... for the SSH x hashberry cross.. how about calling it "super silver hash berry"?;)

red eye ... SSH X C99 is a perfect match... i've tested the F1's twice so far ... the C99 pollen brought down the 12 week flower time of the SSH mom by a significant margin & the plants grow like mad producing the biggest buds packed with resin and a wonderful aroma, the potency is off the hook:D & the high is very stoney ... all the favorable characteristics from both parents have been passed through ... i got lucky & now if my clone mom (ssh) ever loses her vigor (been 7 years & she is as strong as ever) i will still have at least 50% of her genetic info stored away in seed form for the future... i have lots of documentation & if you want to see her just ask...

peace flower~power
 
this is not my setup

this is SSH x C99 being grown by a grower @ icmag ( i am ashamed to say i WAS a member over there:o :rolleyes: ) i gifted him 100 seeds for his pleasure
