100! Besides the lack of paragraphs lol, I like the way you think, especially about the hunts. I want to go back to my 1 gallon or less days instead of going big & dealing with mold & bottlenecking my veg space :( Also going back to organics in a coco mix!

I tried a side by side with the standard 33% peat or coco/compost/aeration and found that it would have been better with less compost. It was hard to not overwater a plant or two per light in that mix using a wand. If I were to try it again maybe 50 coco/30 aeration/20 compost, especially in small pots.

I also added an extra cup of oyster shell and gypsum to the coco mix. I think that was a tad heavy but I had no ill results.

I'm doing about a 50/50 coco peat mix in 2 gallon hempy empy buckets. I like hempy but feel like the water in the 2 inches of perlite gets nasty & funky, the roots never really grow into the perlite. As long as I keep them watered I think the 2 inch res is unnecessary. I used to flower in those small 4 inch square black pots which is about 2qts or so. I'll probably break out my blumats when I go back to smaller pots.

I use a lil bit of oyster shell as well in a coots type of amendment formula.

Those who are familiar with Archive packs, I think I got ripped off by Attitude seed bank.

I ordered a pack from them because it wasn't in stock anywhere else, Cake Face, recieved my package a few days ago and they took the seeds out of the breeders pack and sowwed them into a skirt. It did have the label and strain name cut off the breeder pack and placed in the little baggy, BUT the red flag is there are 13 seeds, was supposed be 12! Hard for me to believe an Archive pack was off count.
Question is, anyone ever recieved a pack of Archive with 13 seeds in it and what do you guys think, sketch city?

Red flag over one extra seed lol. You should be good though thats how they ship if you didn't choose to ship in original packaging. Ive ordered from less reputable places than Attitude & it always was what I ordered. Although you won't know until you grow um!

Hell yeah :mrgreen: I went to herm city with a Goji og, turned out to be some fire on the mountain :bigjoint: I read somewhere that growing a mother, and flowering clones could help reduce herm occurrence? Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it :blsmoke: I'll post some pictures once they are up and running. Also popped a couple fem Dough-Lato's, gonna try a small dwc setup for the first time.

To keep this on topic, Fletcher has talked about some of the most amazing things we come across are herm prone. This is why we have so many clone only’s of questionable origin.
I’ve grown goji and made/grown out f2s of it. Beautiful plant, excellent frost and terpene profile but it’s a Difficult line for sure, there’s a lot of heat in there even if it has a higher than average tendency to throw boy parts.
everyone talks about getting stable seeds, but the gems come from far more sketchy origins.

I'm popping a couple of the seeds I pulled from that Goji plant tonight. It packed a serious punch. Definitely worth the trouble. I sent some seeds to my buddies, that kind of fire needs to be spread :blsmoke:

It’s because our most prized traits are recessive.
This is where line work is critical, the the only way to get that trait separated from the expression you want.

And the difficult part is that as we stabilize lines and bottleneck certain traits, the phenomenal outliers really start to disappear. Line work is extremely important, but the beauties tend to misbehave. For instance I have a cross I’ve made that is terribly herm prone, I’ll never do any further work with it but I found a great cut that consistently tests high that I’ll keep around.

Selection is everything, sometimes it takes many years.
