Hello! Welcome to my forum and feel free to participate. Any and all input is appreciated, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I will be working my way back online as best I can to help and answer any questions you guys might have. I have been working several lines and while they do pop up here and there, I always considered them a work in progress and never felt comfortable slinging 150+ dollar packs of F1 closet pollen chunking gear. But now I can with assureity, that I have created several lines that have all been worked for 5+ years with goals and traits that I viewed as valuable. Some lines it has taken me years to find breeding stock and pairs that I felt were acceptable. It's been a slow process because of my testing and quality control. I want to see as many pheno's as I can find, I want to see it grown indoor and outdoors. I needed many types of growers to test the gear. So this whole process has taken many years and I now feel comfortable calling these lines a Loompa Breed. Of course the starting breeding stock in some cases come through various sources, but I have combined these genes and incredible results have started to show themselves. So it's now time to make my gear available and more accesible to people.
As time goes on different people from my Loompa crew may log on and put in their 2 cents. One such person who's username is Oom pah pah is part of the LoompaFarms crew and is essential to the work that has been done and is as far as I am concerned, a joint partner. Matter of fact, there are a few joint partners and members who work for the LoompaFarms crew and produce and help produce the entity known today as LoompaFarms. Many want to stay anonymous and so they will. And as I'm talking, I'm also referring to "me" or "I", while reality is that there are a fair number of folks that makes us what we are today. But I do maintain the integrity of the group and oversea the production of our gear. I am quality control. I just wanted to clear that up for anyone not sure whats up. Oom pah pah will be with me here on the site as a mod and is very knowledgeable about producing quality flowers and other things. Matter of fact, there a several crew members that help with the breeding work. I mean, I can't grow enough plants to get a good sample size for selection with just myself. So by everyone throwing in 100 plants, I'm able to go through thousands of females with the combined effort. That is how I am able to get large enough selection populations to actually find those special plants. Really, alot of it comes down to knowing what your goals are, having selection populations large enough to actually find plants that fit the breeding goals and observing the plants in many many different growing environments. I have a massive amount of info that is available to me when it comes to parent and breeding stock selection.
So Welcome everyone, looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. In the next thread I will disclose what I've been working on and what is available. I am going to be making a drop here and will have it in the mail this week. A thanks goes out to all you that did test grows and any input is welcome along with all the data that you guys already supplied to me.
