On the Chem Cand, buds may not have been totally done, but its its ruthless in the 2 by 2 and she fell to the scissors. We must keep a schedule you know. 
On the plus side, more room for Northern Cheese Haze just a beasting right now. Also the seeds look good!

Ultra lazy man update with a through tent window shot. This is about as good as it gets in terms of canopy management for ole bizzle. They are flopped and daily leaf tucked.
NCH @ six weeks from sprout.

Attended a show this weekend for my daughter’s dance studio. These mofo’s were staring at me the whole time. They just knew I was high!

Thanks man! Its a small operation here, but I’ve become quite addicted to making seed. Can’t get myself to do a sensi run. Every time I pop something its for the first time and most stuff I only have single packs of so I feel the need to make more seed. Guess I’m in the right place.

Mine wasn’t an Orange Goji but an original F1 Goji OG. I have some f2 seed of it that friends kindly made for me but unfortunately I won’t pass those out.

Awesome that you have f2’s @Vagabond_Windy. I made some as well. I’ll have to see if my cuz is still holding the cutting. I had her in a cab all by her lonesome while I flowered some other plants. Unfortunately the light fell on her and I didn’t check up on her until it was too late. Always good to have backup seed.

It sucks to lose a special clone or even just a good one like Goji. But it’s awesome to move on to something else and hopefully find something just as special.
And then you share it lol

This was the first that I kept and first I lost. I was indeed sad. Especially because this particular cut was so hearty. Very durable, very stable, easy as hell to keep….unless you drop a light or something like that. 
I know that we can find it in the f2’s though. On that note. I’ve shared some f2’s which is cool, but I gave a pile to someone that later ended up just being a seed scammer. So that is kind of annoying. I’ve upped my vetting practices for these kinds of requests. You live you learn.

Creme De La Chem on soak. Been waiting on these. They will catch some Chem Candy pollen. I have another pack that I’ll do a reversal on for some fems.

Northern Cheese Haze 7 weeks from sprout. First plant lest stretch and perhaps chunking up faster. Second plant slightly stretchier and a really nice smell on it. Both plants more seeded than I originally intended.

Three tails on the Creme de la Chem so they are now in cups! Woohoo. Oh yeah, these were frozen beans that thawed and chilled in the fridge for months for those that get scared about freezing seeds here is another anecdotal report that freezing is all good!

It’s really a great way to pop seeds. Even if you’ve got them fridged, before you pop them, give them a quick overwinter in your freezer for a day or 2. It helps signal the seeds that the season is changing. Many seeds (not cannabis) require, 30, 60 or even 90 days of cold stratification to germinate. We grow lots of native prairie seed. Some of those even require other outside influences to germinate. Like wild ginger requires ants to take the fruit back to their lair and they symbiotically work together to both benefit. The ants help germinate the seeds, while the ginger provides resources for the ants.
Other seeds like paw paws evolved to germinate after passing through the stomach of the now extinct giant sloth. So some things we have to really try to get to sprout and try to emulate how those things sprout. But cold is a common thing. Seeds that germinate right before winter hardly survive, so that cold strat safety most species use is genius. 
Freeze those seeds!

Excellent points RB! I just see people advising to fridge but not freeze seed and I get the trepidation, but I’ve seen no downside and as you’ve stated, this is the natural cycle for many plants. Also, do you have a good link or source for that prairie seed? I wouldn’t mind reverting a chunk of my field back to some native plants. Thanks buddy!

Where are you again my friend? Michigan? We deal in local ecotype seed only, but if it’s something that is also native to your area, I’d gladly share some. We have a seed vault in the back yard. It’s a 40ft high cube that’s climate controlled full of seeds from our prairie and other local spots. But remind me where you are and I can give you more info. Like what region of the state.

Awesome! I was just up there in Butternut WI. There so many natives that grow just wild up there already. The yards I saw were full of yarrow, (and mosquitoes). Do you know what you have there already?
Even with that seed vault,I still keep my cannabis seed inside in the fridge. Id hate for them to be so far away. (~100ft) lol. Also, we just got a grant to put a community seed vault nextdoor to ours. It’ll be on our land, but the folks in the community will have a safe place to store seeds. We consider our property open, considering 99% of Kansas is privately “owned.”
Anyway, how big of a spot is it? If it’s a smaller space, I can probably just send some seeds your way! We have a diversity that you can’t get from retailers. We hand collect most of our seeds and get lost of things you just can’t buy. The grant is only going to make that even more prominent. 
So, I guess, first step is to know what’s there, then prep the area. If it’s all junk, solarize a spot or spray or till. If there’s some good stuff, it’s probably worth trying to keep it. Whenever you make open spots on the ground, those aggressive plants move in fast. Then when the spot is ready, seed or plug. Seeding is usually recommended before a snow. That way they get cold strat and the melt helps work them into the ground. After that it’s a bit of maintenance pulling the “bad” stuff. Then just enjoy it.
