I'm sure this is just all a matter of what we are getting out of our harvests. I want bud but also seeds that I will get with the best males and females of every outdoor season, both the long and short season.
I guess for me, genetics and the direction I'm taking them is even more important than the bud itself. And that is saying a lot. If anything busted out and seeded up the crop, it would taint my selected seeds made by proper male pollen. Plus it could exagerate that trait. No thanks! To me the seed crop is like pure gold. I want to have confidence that what I plant will be stable. It is a priority that I can't imagine overlooking.
I have grown mostly plants that throw absolutely no nanners, it exists and if I find a nanner it is yanked. Not a keeper to me. Only found one in a hybrid I made last year. I tossed the plants, the project, and won't run seeds from that mother again, or that mother again for that matter..simple. All I keep hearing you argue about is how it is so impossible to breed out. I'd just like to know what happened to the direction in breeding because it wasn't like this a decade ago, people actually valued stability. In a way it is disrespecful to the species itself to breed it so sloppily. Of course you're gonna get nanners if you keep breeding for more of them, seems like some of you all are starting to act like nanners are like a seal of quality or something. If you want to contribute to this thread maybe take a few pics of your nanners for comedy relief.
If all you work with is self seeding, I kinda feel bad for you. You don't have to live like that. It's not too late lol. I'm actually surprised everyone is running so many cuts hanging balls. Not only that but insinuating that that is what good growers do. Sounds like amature hour to me.
Personally I've never had any nanners in ACE gear or Tom Hill gear. I'd recommend both but think Tom Hill is gone now.
