Chugging along with this Mixed Emotions seed run. I think she'll stay on the back burner. I tossed over half because they didn't pass the stem rub test. But then again, the mother of the cross is more old school herb quality. Really not smell, or heavy trics, but she packs a punch. It's has a hazy head until the come down when she'll let you fall. When my 4x8 tent is free, i'll probably sift for F2 breeding and run every bean of it I have.
The first singled out plant is ???, I lost or miss labeled the cross but I have more to run.
The second is Johnny's Chunk. I'm so proud of this runt I'm going to sift the remaining seeds for F2's.
Curious by what you mean, "pass the stem rub test"? Do you mean you just didn't like the smell when you rubbed it?

I only ask because if you're judging how a plant might taste by doing the stem rub you're missing out on some killer phenos.

Some of the tastiest plants I've grown had zero good smells from stem rub. My blueberry (2001) was super grape jelly bomb but stem smelled like nadda.

Top 44 I had was fruity berry goodness and I actually almost threw her out because her stem rub smelled like green peppers, I hated that smell but then flower hits and it was berry goodness.

Critical jack herer had that same nasty pepper smell but again turned into berry fruity goodness.

Right now I do actually have a plant that smelled like oranges when I rubbed the stem and right now at 46ish days into flower it smells incredible, like orange rinds and tropical punch. I haven't harvested it yet so not sure if flavor will come through.

Hopefully you find some killer phenos any way you choose ladies. :weed:

All the pics on the first page are from small samples, IMO it really don't take 1000 damn seeds to find the one,it helps..but that's not all it's about(maybe when looking for a keeper to run) I'd have 1000 kids if it was like that,got to be a winner out of that many right?

I personally think it is a collection of things,number 1 being the seed maker/chucker/breeder. If one chucks shit,then the outcome will be shit(try not to Chuck genetics that don't share more than 40-50% of the same makeup)

Number 2,how the grower/seed maker/chucker/breeder treats the plants is a big factor also(what are his/her goals?) I started out simplistic, this nug is good,oh and this nug is good also,i want my buddies to smoke this,i wonder what a male from this,will do to this? That gave me my first chuck(grape stomper og x candydrop) turned out very good.

Just my opinion.
Truth

What got me started in chucking was a hermie plant, I think it was thseeds hog, but it ended up spraying itself and I was a noob and didn't even know a female plant could pollinate herself. But my buddy ended up saving some of the seeds and popped a few and they were all great plants.

My first real chuck was a grape god male hit to like 5-6 nirvana strains and all the offspring were good versus the standard 1 keeper per 10 beans nirvana usually gives.

You find a solid male and it's a lot easier to chuck gold.

Very true i keep all ladys till 2nd round unless they are straight junk lol

But i would also say the plants that have greasy stank stem rubs usually turn out great especially if they get triched out in veg .

Mabey there is hope for my bubblegum, and exodus plants i have cause they have a meh green smell lol im still going to grow them out
Fingers crossed but i wont be suprised if they are meh

If you dont mind, can you elaborate on this a bit, what's your experience?
Like this ghost town f2 X Swayyze that I'm going to be showcasing soon.

Ghost town f2 (Ghost town#59 X Ghost og x stardawg)

X

Swayze (Ghost og x SSSC skunk #1)

This cross should be like 50% ghost when done,cause Swayze is a strong cross, and will dominate some what(from what I'm seeing from the females) mostly in bud formation .
I lost my train of thought, I'll add more later.

You guys ever grow out anything by mr. Nice?

Was wondering about going old school for some breeding stock with black widow

But i havent grown any of his gear thought about sensi Afghani as well but these are just pipe dreams as i got a few beans to run through first

Plus i LOVE running testers lol nothing better then testing to help a breeder and finding gems (my goji og from bodhi rip)

Nice was looking at the black widow and the shit

Plus was looking for afgani and mabey a northern lights .
As i havent grown any of them out

I figure if most strains today where breed from the old strains you should be able to do find something nice if you follow some other breeders recipes lol

Any good breeding links or downloads you guys suggest ?
I was just thinking I need to look up some good youtube docs on lineages, breeders, and breeding just because I'm not a big TV or new movie person. Something more relatable to my interests.

Here's a like bud porn, prego category if you will.
My larger sativa tangerine power #3 (f2s cooking), she'll put off 3x my keeper/sleeper pheno but her smell is mediocre at the moment, sorta citrusyish but ain't impressing no one. But dad has orange smell from stem rub so there a chance I'll find a orange sativa leaner in f2s, fingers crossed.

Now this plant, tangerine power #1, is one of the best smelling plants I've ever grown and I'm so hoping it taste like it smells. Not exactly orange more a sour orange candy ie sour patch kids but mixed hard with tropical punch ie Hawaiian Punch drink. And her smell is pungent too.

I had her out of the tent last night watering and checking for male parts and 30 minutes after I had put her back in the tent and while packing a bowl full I could still smell that tropical punch smell. If she taste like she smells then I plan on working with her and the f2s and tang pow crosses.

I can say the tang pow pollen was more viable/potent than the grapes 13 male, these tang pow seeds are busting out of the case on all of the plants hit.

Peace Everyone and happy 4/20 week, for all my old school cats

Man you guys chuck with such few beans?

I thought you where supposed to hunt through hundreds first to find the breeding stock.

Or am i being a retard lol i am very tired and not a breeder or chucker yet but i plan on chucking soon just so i can afford to GO THROUGH hundreds to find gems :)
I prefer to buy established stable strains. Then cross everything over it. Like rare dankness and karma genetics are top breeders. So I'll use say gth1 over Cinderella xx then cross biker kush over (gth1 x Cinderella xx) .

I didn't do the cross, but a buddy of mine crossed Shit with Skunk#1, then made lots of crosses from that. Shunk AF {Afghani X Shit/Skunk}, Shit Shunk {Shit X Shit/Skunk} and Skunk Shunk {Skunk X Shit/Skunk} among them. I ran them last year, but it was a bad year to compare anything. It started raining in June and never stopped.

Karma genetics skullcap pollinated with black d.o.g x gth1. Have 2 more skullcap females
So I'll cross them with these 2 strains
Crumbled lime
Strawberry glue.
Brothers Grimm Cinderella xx is about to be pollinated along with LA confidential and tangilope. All seeds were put outdoors during the natural outdoor flowering cycle .so 12/12 from seed outdoors. Second pic is a couple of cs sprayed white widow autos and a newzealand x Malawi photo fem in the middle. I think I might cross crumbled lime over her.IMG_20180420_134751.jpg IMG_20180421_094455.jpg
