I am uncertain about proceeding to Preservation 4 at this time. Preservation 3 did not meet my expectations, so I chose to remain focused on it, carefully searching for the ideal females and males. Out of the selection, only one male demonstrated resilience under stress testing and was successfully utilized to complete Preservation 3.5. However, I am still not entirely satisfied with the results. Due to the flowering at a smaller size, the seed yield was reduced to only a few hundred. As I am not content with the quantity of seeds, I am considering running this line again before moving forward. Preservation 3.9 on the horizon.

You need hundreds of plants to select a male or female worthy of breeding. Pollinating whatever pops up from a few plants is not preserving, its degredation as you can see. You have to scale up massively. Perhaps partner with a farmer is a possibility. Perhaps post an ad looking for help.

Preservation 3.9 will commence shortly after seed harvesting. Autoflower breeding will be an ongoing focus throughout the course, with some efforts dedicated to developing photoperiod/autoflower hybrids. These hybrids are not intended to be grown in the near future but will serve as a resource for family exploration down the line.

While I am not a large-scale breeder—and have no desire to be one—I remain dedicated to selecting and preserving genetics that align with my personal standards. Unlike others in the community who are heavily established, I prefer sourcing seeds from lesser-known individuals rather than prominent names such as the DJs or Grandaddy's. My approach reflects a deep commitment to authenticity and progress, unfazed by external opinions or criticism.

Ultimately, my goal is simple: to preserve and safeguard genetics that I believe are worthy, ensuring their availability for future exploration. Progress is my focus, and I remain undeterred by negativity.

It's honestly baffling how much energy you seem to spend fixating on others’ grows instead of getting your own in order. Maybe if you spent less time pointing fingers and more time addressing your own shortcomings—like figuring out how to properly manage soil—you’d actually have a successful grow to show for it. Criticism is easy; achieving results is where the real challenge lies. Perhaps it's time to prioritize your own progress instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing.

exploration down the line.

Hemp is dominant genetics. It gets more hempy as you go along with succession unless you keep reintroducing drug plant genetics. That's constant maintenance.

photoperiod/autoflower hybrids

What is the point of that? Don't really understand that at all.

Preservation 3.9 will commence shortly

Do you know what inbred depression is?

While I am not a large-scale breeder—and have no desire to be on

I can say the same thing. But If I don't reinvigorate my lines now and then, inbred depression sets in because I dont have a large enough genetic pool to keep a line strong and viable. Therefore I retain a good relationship with someone who is selecting from hundreds of examples.

genetics that align with my personal standards

Standard pollen chucker theme. I like it.

prefer sourcing seeds from lesser-known individuals

Absolutely. If they aren't the top, then it's just swag, probably random pollination runs. I dont blame them either, because if your customer never asks to see what plants were chosen to breed, the growing conditions... they deserve random swag.

unfazed by external opinions or criticism.

But you need to be phased like star trek by reality though. Growing a few plants and selecting from whatever you got isnt going to produce anything but a slow steady generational decline, especially with hemp genetics thrown in the mix.

my goal is simple: to preserve and safeguard genetics that I believe are worthy

That's great man, I'm glad to know you are serious. I hope you do attain that farmland and get it set up. But what you believe to be worthy is questionable. Maybe it is, maybe it's a total miss.

Progress is my focus, and I remain undeterred by negativit

Great focus, commendable. Do not let positivity deter you either. Both are imbalanced. Forget all about judgements that the mind makes and remain with what is.

Good luck to you.

I've been getting successful results since the 90s. I let someone else pick up soil this last time because I had other important things to attend to and they got the wrong stuff. I tried it anyway because I had no choice at the time. Tried to make it work, but in the end I had to do more work to fix it. And it is getting fixed, everything is springing back to all green despite being subjected to industrial waste sold off in potting soil. Thanks to strong genetics and plants that want to live. Progress is constant. Like I said, good luck with your dreams. Dont think you are fooling anyone acting like a quality breeder. At best you are a hobbyist that looks a little desperate to seem like a boutique breeder. And learn from my mistake, never compromise. Stick with what's proven to work or be prepared to work twice as hard trying to correct problems that could have been avoided.

Thank you for the advice—even though I wasn’t here looking for any. I’m simply documenting, unlike you, who joined this forum desperate for help because your plants are stunted and won’t grow. Maybe focus on addressing your own struggles before offering input where it isn’t needed.

I grow medical marijuana for a family member. It's not my struggle. The stunted plants were from bad soil I compromised on, but it's fixed now. I wasn't desperate for help, I was looking for intelligent suggestions to save time because I'm relied on for supply. I'm here adding reality to your "documentation" that you want people to read so they know something and aren't delusional like you are. You are the example of a pollen chucker acting like a real breeder. Get a notebook if it's for your own pleasure and not some exhibition to convince people you are something you are not.

Your response is dripping with self-importance and an inability to face the truth. Claiming that it’s “not your struggle” while admitting to using bad soil is laughably contradictory—if you’re so reliant on supply, how could you let such a basic error happen in the first place? And trying to brush it off with “it’s fixed now” just underscores a lack of accountability. As for seeking “intelligent suggestions,” it’s ironic, given the condescending tone and inflated ego you’ve brought to the conversation.

Let’s be clear: adding “reality” to someone else’s documentation doesn’t make you insightful—it makes you disruptive. Your pompous attitude, combined with the baseless insult of calling someone “delusional,” only highlights your own insecurities as a grower. And throwing around the term “pollen chucker” while attempting to elevate yourself as a real breeder doesn’t mask the fact that your stunted plants and bad soil fiasco are the very definition of amateur mistakes. Maybe focus on fixing your growing process before lecturing others on theirs.

Now that I have appropriately addressed @User2, I can resume my documentation process.

Geez, get a room you two

Anyway, this isn’t about him—it’s about something bigger than a rookie grower losing his mind because he can’t figure out how to grow a plant. He’s mad at everyone else for thriving while he keeps falling flat on his face. Maybe, just maybe, if he cracked open a book, got himself a job, and saved up for the right tools, he could actually pull off a successful grow. But no—lazy habits die hard. He’s still riding the "Mom and Dad Express" and throws tantrums when they buy the wrong stuff. Oh, and let’s not forget his Walmart adventure, where he *almost* steals a bottle of nutrients, has a sudden moral epiphany, puts the item back, and bolts out of the store like he's in some weird retail heist movie. Honestly, who even goes to Walmart without money unless you’re planning to steal?!

With all due respect, your agreement is not a determining factor. The Preservation will continue, whether it occurs on this forum or another platform.

Your opinion on Breeding is not only irrelevant but also detracts from the conversation's purpose. If there’s nothing constructive to add, it's better to refrain from disrupting the dialogue.

starting shit??
i can add constructive information to someone who is willing to accept the fact that they could be wrong about a few things,. but you seem to know more than science does about breeding,..
your passive aggressiveness will get you banned if you keep it up..
