I thought this was really interesting re: small scale breeding and thought of you. https://iriegeneticscolorado.com/media/com_podcastmanager/573.mp3 Starts like 10 or 15 minutes in.
I think the general idea is to breed with hybrid vigor in mind for new crosses (like you're doing) and if you want to stabilize from there then you do it but I agree, you lose hybrid vigor if you try to "cross" between two plants with different moms and the same dad. But that's ambitious for a small scale project, right?I also wonder if only keeping one male and using it for multiple lines is the best way to go in a low plant count grow. It works well initially (how many seed companies are based on one or two males?), but then theoretically decreases vigor in the offspring between those strains to an increasing degree with each generation.
Hey K , hopefully she'll slow down on the stretch soon , I've found them to fill out nice and chunky once into flower .... Can't wait to see what she does , looking good !Makes sense. Where there's a government, there's corruption.
So far 3 out of 5 of the Pipatxu have already germed and are likely rising from the soil as I type. Genetically it's Maizal Gord, an African landrace sativa, combined with Deep Chunk. This is exactly the kind of stuff that I want to be working with since there's a high potential for hybrid vigor and unique terps/cannabinoids in both these seeds and outcrosses.

Saw enough ambering on the trichomes that I put the (WW x Heri) x Thai down for its last 48-72 hours of darkness and flipped the second Lemon OGK to take its place. Gave her a good shave and took a few clones, now she'll reach for the stars with those four colas.

And now for some PKO porn!

The last one is a more Nepalma-leaning pheno, having longer pistils and not fading nearly as quickly as the Uzi-oriented ones. I'd forgotten how hungry those could be in flower.
@dire wolf Remember that mutant Moonglow? She's taking over now.

A more zoomed out view of the room. As the shorter plants go into the midget closet and get chopped, I'll be replacing them with mulicola plants at a higher canopy level.

Check this out. A straight up landrace, RSC's Iranian, frosty before even differentiating. Looks like I might get to have some fun!

Yo!
I figured that it was just about time to start a new grow journal. That one serves its purpose of being a record of the progress of both my skills and equipment, but now that things are more generally set and my focus shifts more towards breeding than keeping plants alive, I feel like it's time for a new chapter.
In veg right now are:
USC Nepalma
Herijuana
Sannie's Jack Herer
DNA's Lemon OG Kush
DNA's Sour Sorbet
Reserva Privada Purple Wreck
Moonglow (ECSD x Moonshine Haze)
Moonshine Blackout (Moonshine Haze x Amnesia)
Barney's Farm G13 Haze
Hazeman '88 G13 Hashplant
ACE Orient Express
Kalashnikov Siberian Haze
Vision Supreme Lemon
HSO Lemon Citron
Real Seed Co Iranian
Mean Gene's Sky Cuddler Double Kush
Brothers Grimm Killer Queen (C99 x Killer Queen, two males)
Brothers Grimm C99 x Durban-Thai
In flower right now are:
Nepalma
Herijuana
Jack Herer
Lemon OGK
Moonglow
G13 Haze
Supreme Lemon
C99xDT
Lemon Citron
Baba Kuma (aka Real Seed Co's "Afghan Mix. They're seeds from Balkh, Badakhstan, Kunduz, and Mazar that got mixed up, but that's too vague of a name so I made a more specific acronym.
Kalashnikov Moscow Blueberry
Pane Killer Ooze (Uzbekistan x (Panama Red x Nepal)
USC Uzbekistan
USC Black Afghani
USC Col'Jam
Vision Seeds Lambsbreath x AK49
Emerald Triangle G13 x Blueberry Headband
Cannabeizein's Tree of Life
And just dropped:
Kwikseeds Pipatxu (Deep Chunk x Maizal Gord)
NAW Green Manalishi F2 (G13 Hashplant x Pacific's G13)
You'll see a general proclivity towards G13 and C99 crosses and obscure strains.
Something about G13 just hits right for me, and I'm trying to breed around the Chemdog/Blueberry/Skunk 1/OG Kush bottleneck. It's all good smoke, but most major breeders have been using those genetics for a long time and they've been interbred for decades. What could I possibly have to add?
The exception to this is the lemon stuff that I've got rolling now, but I wanted to have some breeding material for a Super Lemon Haze 2021 that I've been conceptualizing.
But I can find rare genetics that haven't been bred together and make new stuff based on theoretical hybrid vigor. There are plenty of landrace/IBL genetics to sort through, pheno hunt, and cross without bumping into something that's been done repeatedly before.
Like this Pane Killer Ooze that's showing promise. I'm excited to see how this smokes and to take the line to F2 as well as start outcrossing it. G13 Hashplant is definitely getting hit with some of that pollen to improve vigor (and likely yield) since it's such a slow grower.
Gonna see how the G13 Haze, Col'Jam, Orient Express, and C99DT play with Killer Queen. Silverfields is getting crossed with all kinds of stuff. As will Orient Express and Herijuana, including to each other.
And that's not even mentioning the stuff that I haven't popped. Those of y'all that follow along are in for a treat.
How about today? Somehow I missed this.Amekins ........please make pizza tomorrow and post a pic
