disclaimer ** no maidens have been, or will be destroyed in the making of this thread **
these seeds are from the maiden release of destroyer, the seeds were made around 2005/2006 i believe

Destroyer, is some killer stuff. Some of the best of its type, and isnt for those, not ready to go for a real ride.
I hope all of those germinate, and you make a repopulation. This strain needs more attention, than it gets.
While not a CBG release, oldsogsc-Cabinet of Curiosities Seeds- has an F2-Open Pollination release. He has been working with this strain, for a good while, and also has a bunch of other old, killer genetics. One being Athens Silver Haze-S1. Also has Destroyer crosses.
I hope your seeds do well, and keep an update.

i feel a weight of responsibility when it comes to these seeds, ''pre-raid' destroyers nearly 20 years old with viability fast diminishing, i want to 'open source' these genetics, spread them far and wide , for the good of the cannabis community and frankly, for the good of the cannabis gene pool,we see report after report of a marked difference in pheno expression from the older release of destroyer compared to the more recent
sooo this thread is actually a retrospective, a retrospective of the last 3 years work preserving these maiden destroyers, i didn't want to put any content out until the freebies where safely on the mother-ship and ready for the community to enjoy, so I'm going to let this thread unfurl over the coming days and weeks just as tho you guys where along for the 3 year ride
these freebies are available NOW, the freebies will be distributed in packs of 15 seeds,i have also requested that there is no minimum order requirements to get my freebies, so people on low/fixed income can still enjoy these seeds if they so wish,but please,,,,,, be respectful,!! if your not short of cash then please make a nice healthy order :)
the only thing i ask from you guys/girls is ,......1 pack of freebies per address,..........to post your grows of these maidens here on THCFARMER (if your situation allows of course)......and if you think them worthy and ever use them for breeding, ......... to give me a little name check 'A.O.S' or 'maiden destroyer' when listing your genetics.......that's it
there is roughly 5 oz of seed available, seeds are of various sizes and shades,.. some tiny, some large, some very pale, some very dark and striped,......10 females ........1 male ...........13 seeds in total popped from the 2 packs
much love

now if you would indulge me and my little fantasy's for a second
i like to think of my self as .....The Robin Hood of cannabis
i wanted to take destroyer out of the hands of .......the genetically rich
and give it to ....the genetically poor
the new growers, the people not connected, the aspiring sativa breeders , the people who cant afford to buy multiple packs of $100 seeds to find a great pheno..... the 'little guy' so to speak
after sending allot of time over on another forum, (prob the oldest and biggest one),i just got sick of the petty competition over genetics ,the back-biting over meaningless details, the seed hoarding by individuals or by small cliques who want to feel they have something special others don't ,and that's ultimately what motivated me to do this project the way i have done it,
much love

Things get awfully crammed with over 300 seedlings in 16 pots ....this is when the real defoliation has to start
This picture illustrates the process,....i don't believe is taking whole fan leafs from the seedlings, to much stress IMO, so i trim them as so ,....as to allow light to penetrate all the plants in the pot , plants always seem perfectly happy with this protocol...and of course things become more roomy if your discarding unwanted males....which usually are the biggest and take up the most room

So 13 seeds in total popped from the 20 original seeds ..... 12 female .... with only 1 male
which is in line with veteran growers experiences who grew these seeds out back in the day... with some reporting not even finding a male after growing out several packs .....so i'm thankful i got even 1 frankly
the phenos of these 12 female Maiden Destroyers from the original 20 year old seeds fall into 5 subgroups i would say
got the wheat/pearl expressions as pictured above ....
very tight dense budded phenos with extreme resin coverage neutral sativa scent ,,....
shorter dense and high yielding Mexican leaning phenos great resin
tall extremely thin leafs high resin and highly pungent scent (like shown in the second picture )
and very low resin fluffy columbian phenos ( which are 2 that i couldn't justify keeping alive after smoking)
all the pics i provided are of fully seeded plants btw

These pics are from about 5 or 6 weeks flowering of the original seedlings , this is when the pearl/wheat phenos started to show themselves and i could see the first outlines of the subgroups i mentioned earlier in the thread .....
