Advice needed on Breeder and/or seed selection, asap

@drgreensleeves

One of my favorite seed banks it’s more a collective of craft farmers joti is there and many others and he’s us based but I’m sure he would have no problem shipping to Canada

@drgreensleeves

Here’s another cool thingy it clicks on to solo the cups they are 3d printed by bone aka Mr toad in nor cal they have a led light inside and can replace the watch battery that lasts like 7-10 days so your clone makes it safely it’s really cool if I had big cash I would get a bunch of them but hey one day

Nice, another one for the bookmark folder. Thanks for your suggestions.

@BigMike55

Honestly I have not tried the smoke from Buddahs Cane from @ShitSeeds he is around here on OG. I have three BC going right now. Go check out my thread BigMike55 and MarsHydro Go Crazy.
The plants are incredible. The buds are spectacular. What else can I say. Highly recommend. He is also good at freebies if you buy seeds.

I will take a look at your thread tonight. Thanks BigMike55.

@Nitt yea fat cat is a u.s. breeder… Doctors choice is canadian…both has awesome strands . solid genetics

[Nitt]

I did not expect this amount, nor level of great feedback. Now I’m overwhelmed by the amount of choices. Thanks everyone.

I had a very quick peek at firecutz, and the Legendary Larry sounds like a good kush, by description. Except the pine (pinene). Is pinene a very common terpene to find in kushes? I can’t describe, or remember, what the kushes I most enjoyed smelled like, but it wasn’t pine. It was just what people around would call “kush” (smell). And you could always recognize someone had good stuff from 30 feet away when they had ‘kush’ with this fragrance (even a gram, in a bag, in their pocket or backpack).

All the clone strain images on firecutz look amazing, haha.

[drgreensleeves]

Yup and emerald mountain legacy I believe is Kevin because they carry the royal kush line that came from Mandelbrot edit this is probably the kush you speak of it’s pretty famous lol

Emerald Mountain Legacy - Dagga Garden

Here ya go I’m fond of the royal Maui berry I haven’t grown it yet but damn I would love too so if you do please tell me all about it

[Dirt_Wizard]

I would suggest Fleur Du Mal seeds, the breeder is a very reputable user here named @Baudelaire he has a thread about his offerings. He ships to Canada. One of the heirlooms will be consistent and inbred, and much of his work is with Cinderella 99 which covers your Haze hybrid. He just said here in the thread that he’s releasing some Ortega preservation soon, that’s the oldest school of kushes:

Fleur du Mal Seeds

Ortega! Sourced from Nevil’s own freezer, circa 1988. I’ve been waiting for 20 years to do this preservation project. We are still winterizing and germ testing but should have some available for the intrepid few who would like to get there hands on an absolute foundational breeding strain that was nearly lost to the mists of time. She’s a fat, greasy bear of an Afghani Kush, from when Kush meant “from the Hindu Kush”. Sire of Black Domina, Legends Ultimate and Maple Leaf Indicas. Powerful, ful…

@DougDawson @BigMike55 Thanks for the love. Appreciate you both. I’m here to help if anyone needs anything. Sorry I wasn’t around for the original conversation.

[Calix]

Fraser Valley Beans is great. check them out on Facebook.

[Nitt]

So, for shitseeds, one needs to ‘register’ or create an account?

[Nitt]

Well, I duno what’s up with that ‘Ortega’, where it is.
For firecutz, it might be best to wait until after xmas for a cut/clone.
I’m considering coastal mary. But in the mean time I picked up a pack of beans to have on hand now.

How do those of you with seed stored go about properly storing them? “Long term” seed storage.

[Gonzo]

Lot of great threads on here about that Nitt, here’s a couple!

Long term storage

Hi. I had a great harvest this year (with problems of course) Has anyone used a food saver/ seal a meal to store properly cured flowers? What would you recommend for long term storage? Help.

Seed storage techniques

Just wondering how everyone stores their seeds for the long term. Air removed? Fridge? Freezer? Desiccants? Interested to hear everyone’s opinions

Is this a better way to store seeds?

So I’ve been keeping my seeds in a basement where temps max out at about 50F. I generally thought that would be good for long term storage, but recently read a number of things saying that it’s much better in the fridge. I plan to put an inch or so of dry rice at the bottom of this coffee vac coffee container I have, and then just stack the seed packs on top of the rice. [image] Then I’ll put the whole thing in the fridge. Is the rice necessary? Anyone experience slower germination with s…

I’ve read a lot & it seems a mini-fridge, some briefcases & cryotubes are the top tier.

[Dirt_Wizard]

Yup @Nitt that’s about it, if you want to set up the whole system for long-term storage (and it’s great for bud and hash too!) that’s basically a mini fridge at 40F, sealed breeder packs (Eppendorf tubes with silica gel beads inside or in the sealed mylar), sealed in food containers with the gasket with some extra dessicant like rice. That’s almost as good as deep freeze without the risk of a thaw and refreeze that destroys seeds.

@Nitt

and maybe a haze hybrid

If your interested in Haze hybrids @MAHAKALA is my personal favorite breeder. Been working hazes and NLDs for literal decades… message him if interested and tell him I sent you His Mindblower Haze is my favorite plant I have ever grown.

[hawkman]

Dr. GreenThumb.com – outstanding genetics with a gret selection _ sned for hos catalog and get a $10.00 off order _ has some interestimg strains – worth a look !!!

[Dirt_Wizard]

It’s true, Tom Hill seems to have joined up to OG just to talk to Mahakala about his haze work, I can’t think of a higher compliment for a breeder of hazes

[WAMMJ45]

I would personally recommend you to try White Label Seeds. White Label Seeds are some of the most original and unique strains out there. It must be stored in terpene bags. They have some awesome strains that, believe it or not, they have been working on since the 70s. I have a couple of their seeds and they have been doing some amazing breeding work to create some very unique and interesting genetics.

[Nitt]

Thanks everyone for the continued suggestions, and advice on seed storage too. I’ve been wanting to get a second fridge, one of those ‘apartment’ sized ones. Hard to find locally.

Thanks again.

[Nitt]

Guys, when you get a 5 pack of seeds, do you always pop them all and look for the “best” pheno, then cull the rest? Do you pop maybe 2 or 3, and save the rest for later?

What’s your approach to this, and why? I’m curious. I’ve never not germinated all 5. But it’s a bit of a hassle having to keep them all separate, test them all, and then of course choosing 4 of them to cull.

Thanks.

[LonelyOC]

I pop as many as I’m able to pop if the intent is to breed with them. I treat the seedling quite bad and are stressing the as much as I can. I cull everything that can’t keep up with the rest. Then I’ll take clones of everything I might wanna use for breeding. Flower everything out, saving the pollen and smoke testing the females. Take the clone of my favorite smoke female, start to flower her and hit her with pollen of each male, one male per branch, mark it down with which male used.
