OK. So, this would, in fact, be my first breeding project. I have four
seeds out of a legitimate bag of the Thin Mint variety of the GSC. I would suspect that the plants stressed from either the broadmite invasion, potential light leaks or the culmination of the two but when the harvest came, the plants closest to the door had a few beans. When grown properly and stress-free, the GSC is an amazing product. My buddy has been running it for about 2 years, tried and true, never thrown beans before EVER!!!! I, personally, don't run anything, I'm just a strain hoarder, in a sense. I have over 70 proven strains but most are from clones. Here lies my dilemma. I know a little bit about
seeds but not enough to confidently do what I have planned. So let me lay it on you...
The four GSC
seeds popped within 4 days. 3 of them are working on their first set of true leaves already. The GSC in question, I already have established mothers. The mothers I have are cuttings from the mother plant of GSC my buddy has so it's from the same gene pool. I am hoping for a male GSC (if that is possible. I had a friend tell me since the strain is "clone only", you won't ever get a male. So I was thinking colloidal silver. More on that later.). If a male were to occur, I have several plants I wish to pollinate. But the grand question is, are these
seeds viable anyway? I mean, sure, I know the general source of where these
seeds came from but will they carry any desirable traits of the GSC into the plants I choose to cross it with?
An even more interesting question arises. The discovery of these GSC
seeds also led me to germinate a few Hindu Kush
seeds I got from Sensi a while back. These
seeds are feminized. I have been told by several sources that feminized
seeds WILL NOT clone. So, that only makes me wonder, can they yield viable seed? If I were to cross male pollen from a hypothetical GSC seed plant with a feminized Hindu Kush, would I be totally wasting my time or do I have the potentiality to create something awesome?
