I’m glad to hear you’re keeping that to yourself. Seriously.Not unlike a few people on here I have a few seeds. Constantly making and collecting more. A preservationist for someone who will come after I leave this plane of existence.
I try to F2 open air pollinate every pack of seeds I pop. I am not a breeder, at least not what I would call a breeder, nor do I want to be.
I do however like to try different types of herb and allowing others to increase their pallet as well. Giving myself and others many colors to enjoy.
I do small batch F2 runs, saving a few of the original seeds, for when tissue culture becomes a real thing, and propagating the rest.
No selection at all, its what ever pops runs. Literally, I let it do its own thing, to try to preserve an untainted F2 gene pool as best I can in the time and space I have.
I also throw in what ever else I am running at the time, plants I know have NO STABILITY issues. I can not guarantee the seed pack being F2'd as being 100% stable.
Its the first time I run them. I can however the other varietals I throw in for fun.
For fun is the purpose of this thread. To go through some of these crosses I make. I am not breeding, I am just looking at possibilities of different combinations while making F2's
of other strains. Males are always culled from these crosses, this is not for propagation, as I said I am not a breeder, it is strictly to see what pops out.
As I run these small batches of new crosses, I want to share the possibilities of what others may find as well. Every seed is a lotto ticket and we are all winners if we find joy in this life.
This is what I enjoy!

I don't really know how to take that.I’m glad to hear you’re keeping that to yourself. Seriously.
Not hoarding but doesn’t sound very disciplined. Just saying glad you’re keeping the results for yourself. Just my opinion.I don't really know how to take that.
Could be you are saying I am hoarding.
Could be you think I am doing some thing wrong.
Could be a number of negative connotations associated with that statement.
Are you saying I do not share? Or your glad I am keeping F ups to myself or what?
Thanks for dropping the positive vibes I guess? I don't know.
Love a good f2 grow. Been chucking pollen for 40 years, nothing more rewarding than sampling your own creations.The Afgoo Queen is rolling right along.

Six days from light change and I have confirmed males for the compost pile.
Keeping them root bound really helps getting them to start flower quickly.
lol everyone is using someone else's gear.Thanks man. And I agree, its pretty cool match making.
Nothing I actually created, since I am using someone else's gear.
But I get what ya mean 100%, something personalized for sure.
I've had strains that produce lots of confused girls. They start out growing balls, then turn female and never make another sack. It happens more than people will ever know (they already tossed em)The way males keep popping out I should have called this Afgoo King instead of Afgoo Queen.
Which in a way is ok, keeps the trolls at bay.
Think I finally got a female, and she may be the only one. That's cool though.
I have had packs I didn't even get one, so I will consider myself lucky even if its a lone female.
Still a couple late bloomers left, so there is still hope for more.

Last pic of a male, no need in showing all of them.
Could be 80%-90% male this run, no need to show them all.

Interesting to me, to have such a high male ratio. The original Afgoo Overdrive seeds had a high female percentage at 80% (4 out of 5).
That could have just been luck of the draw in the pack I got though.
Was not planning on popping more of these, but it would be nice to know, if the whole seed batch is like that or if the percentages even out in sift numbers.
Too many other things going on, to make it a valuable time and space investment right now.
True true. The other two were more obviously male, this one isn't chopped yet and another day wont hurt anything, but he sure looks the part right now.I've had strains that produce lots of confused girls.
