Yea exactly, you put more info and pics out than everybody else nowadays with a website and pics of all moms and dads.

I’ve had some hit and miss with germ rates from other breeders and my own beans, but so far yours are the best for sure. Epsecially all the new fresh strains. But even the CJSB from 2011 I still got 50% of the seeds come through. I think you made those outdoors. My own F2s germ pretty good, but I do not let them finish as you said. Just some isolated pollination on a few bud sites.
Once I need to harvest they get taken no matter what. I think that gives me like 60 to 70% mature seeds. Enough to keep lines alive if I want to run them again ever.

Either way, great fun. I will probably run 2 of your strains indoors per year. Hopefully I can squeeze another one in here and there.
I really want to run the 100k x Skullcap next, but not sure yet. So many

I’m looking thinking I see a couple broken branches, but just some super cropping I think. I like the spacing between nodes. Nice!

Haha yea they stretched way too much. Had to bend them pretty bad. I’m trying faster turn around between grows, so I dont top and train my plants anymore and just try to time it with their natural growth. Still taking off lowers and clean off branches to avoid popcorn, but not stretching them out and heavily train anymore etc.

I’ll wait 2 extra weeks now before starting the next round. That way these girls are all around week 5 or 6 in flower before I pop the new seeds. I should be able to squeeze in 1 or even 2 more grows per year like that. Not sure how it will affect yield, but I think it will all end up being more yield overall and I get to run many more plants. We’ll see how it goes. I just want to grow more plants and strains :smile: but timing is super critial, otherwise I end up with that stretch

Nice! Definitely looking segregated into their parent types. DMRR being tall and lanky and DD being the shorter ones.

Love it, more plants is always the answer.

Latest tests from the DMRR mom used. The Dank Dough in your cross was a collection of males, but this is the female that I kept.

Yea the DMRR leaners are about twice as tall, maybe even more. Those test results are wild. I’m excited to get to try these. Some showed a little red in the stigmas, but that mostly faded again. I dusted about half of them, only the best looking ones this round with the 3 best males I kept until they dropped pollen.

Just found a jar with a nice top nug of some jan 2024 harvest. OG chem x kush. Still smells like new carpet and as potent as ever. Should def get back to these soon

Hey buddy. I meant to comment back here. Also on how @JAWS deals with harvest. I do a good strip of all the fans, bigger sugar leaf. Just depends on my mood really. I should add right now I’m not a heavy trimmer. Not into “bag appeal” here. I like a nice productive run, but volume isn’t my goal. Quality is.
I top most of my Jaw’s plants once. How many sets of laterals I leave just depends on the strain. I run a lot of testers and this is consistent approach. I don’t top my Trainwrecks, they make such nice :christmas_tree: Xmas trees. I’ve had some I never cut anything once they were sexed.
