Finally get to try growing black cherry punch from in house

[SkunkMonkey]

I've really had it bad for the flavor of this black cherry punch strain from in house genetics for quite some time. I never could bring myself to order the seeds.

These folks had them on sale at just the right time. I actually had the money. Lol
I picked up some coco at my local supply store today. I'm all ready to start as soon as the seeds come in. Stay tuned...

sounds like a good strain. what it is it a hybrid indica?

indica cross between Purple Punch and Black Cherry Pie.
We'll see if I can get it right. lol

I have the seeds. I'm just waiting to move a few plants to the flower tent. It's getting a little crowded in the veg tent and I might be finding the limitations of my water pump. I'm in the process of rerouting the water lines and installing hardware I purchased from Amazon. Once I get it dialed in inside the veg tent, I'll repeat it in the flower tent. That's when I'll be moving the three tallest to flower. They are og kush, blueberry and white truffle x blueberry muffin Bubba. Then, I'll be starting black cherry punch, purple punch and Bruce banner.

Current state of the veg tent.

I appreciate that. Here's what's going on in the flower tent, if you're interested.

Curious to see how dominate the Sweet Cherry Skunk Terps are gonna be. I was considering sifting through their “F5 Black Cherry Punch” to find a male (since Black Cherry Soda used to be my all time favorite strain back in 2010… I even made crosses with her that some breeders still use today)

Sound tasty! I kinda failed with collecting pollen from my sweet skunk. I will definitely be ordering more. Btw... if you know how to reverse a female, you won't need a male and all the seeds you could get would be female since daddy was originally a mommy.

That’s great for breeders looking to cash in quickly (developing strains meant to be nothing more than production clones) without doing anything for the long term preservation (or creation) of new true breeding gene pools

Why do you think “seed lines” become obsolete as soon as a “breeder cut” emerges ? I’m making seed valuable again

10-15 years from now… MOST seed catalogs will be nothing more than “unconventional top cross hybrids” (or random and unpredictable trait combined poly hybrids as you might know them as today)

Very few breeders (myself included) are actually doing work to take strains beyond F5 to turn them into “True Breeding Parental Stock” that breeders in the future can eventually use to create “REAL” F1 Hybrids (True Breeding IBL x True Breeding IBL) that makes 100% uniform hybrids (like we have in corn)

Looks like you and I are on different levels. I'm just an individual having fun and learning in his personal grow space.

Blah blah blah. I hear this all the time. I didn't fuck it up. I'm not pushing my seed anywhere except in to the ground. I'm breeding for me and what I like. I'm not breeding for you or any commercial purpose. So, lighten up a little.

 

[SkunkMonkey]

Let me be perfectly clear. This and every thread I start was started specifically for the purpose of documenting and sharing the experience of growing and experimenting. I am here for just that. I have no time for your politics or bullshit. If you want talk about my grow, let's talk. Otherwise, go hijack someone else's thread.

Back to the task at hand...
I intend to pull my reversed female out of my flower tent this week. Once the threat of pollinating something I don't want pollinated is gone, I have plenty of room in there. I'll be moving on with my plans here. I've always wanted to get the flowers to actually take on the right colors. I think I've finally learned enough to make that happen. The stars of this thread are going to be the purple punch and black cherry punch. I've had some very high quality examples of those two strains. The colors and flavors can be some of the most amazing that I've ever been able get my hands on. My goal is to get somewhere close.
I'm not working with much income. So, you'll have to forgive me for going real heavy on the diy with everything I am able to. I will most likely have to reverse another female to produce more seed. I will be soldering, programming multiple languages, getting frustrated, cussing a lot and starting over. That has proven to be all part of my process. I learn more every time. So, it's a win in my book.

I do hear what you are saying. I do not know enough to even get in to all of that. I would definitely educate myself more before choosing to try. I just don't want this stuff contaminating a thread that is meant to be something else. I know there are already threads just for those topics.

Ok, maybe next time don’t bring up breeding methods with a breeder until you are ready to have those discussions

I only brought it up because you switched the conversation from Black Cherry Punch (me asking to lmk if one of it’s parent’s terps, the Black Cherry Pie, bred over well into the progeny that you got growing… Black Cherry Punch) into “here’s some reasons to make fems with Black Cherry Pie”
