I saw this and am wondering.... o_O
Im going to be chucking some pollen...just for fun and personal beans if SHTF someday...
But what if some day years later... I pop one of those beans..and it's bomb.. but I didnt ask permission cause I was just playin....is that when I need to ask?...or do I need to ask now before I chuck any?
Thank you very much for the kind words. If you are referring the Fire Alien Master, that is bred by OGRaskal, someone we all know as one of the most solid breeders out there. A friendly word of advice about breeding...if you are planning to release any beans from your Purple Panther Kush x Fire Alien Master hybrid, the ethical thing to do would be to contact OGR and ask his permission to use that male pollen in your hybrid. He is a really nice cat...just a suggestion. He's not around here anymore, but can be contacted through a number of other sites. If you would like details, shoot me a PM.
I see a lot of people chucking pollen without permission from the original breeders, which is why I bring this up. Ethics are extremely important in this industry, especially if we're going to maintain any type of strain integrity 25 years from now...
Best of luck to you with whatever genetic work you do!
Cheers,

in your opinion, even if youre just chuckin pollen to make some beans for yourself and some friends you should still ask permission of the breeders that bred the strains you are using?
or just if you sell them for profit?
just curious to what the common rules are for these certain things, i know for sure if you make beans for profit then 100% without a doubt you should ask permission. but i guess if youre making beans for yourself it is still the ethical thing to do to ask persmission.
EDIT: i looked back and saw you said "if you plan to release..." in that case yes for sure ask permission and you are right, a lot of people arent which is not a nice thing to do.. especially when the breeders are probably cool dudes that wouldnt have a problem anyway.. but people are just putting stuff out and not even giving credit, not even a mention of the breeder lol.
or breeding with testers lmaoo some people.
Alien is saying if you plan to release crosses made from other breeders work to ask said breeder for permission to do so first. I can say that anyone with genetics worthy of really breeding knows the ethics behind working projects. Back in the day when I started breeding I can honestly say I didn't understand some of the ethics behind the whole seed making biz but over the years of endless selection and taking the time and space to do some of my projects I realized how much work it truly is to make killer beans and those people that go thru all the work deserve to be asked if you are able to use there work in your own projects.
Sorry to go off topic A, just had to throw my opinion in there. ~Smf~
