I did a mini dwc in a solo cup for a challenge on OG, It was all good until my teenage boys found it and smoked it when I was away for a few days lol… it’s surprising how big they can get so long as they are getting all their nutes.
I do a lot of my seed making for indoor strains with very little space, in a tub like this, but bigger tub, more phenos etc. it’s possible to produce thousands of seeds in a small tub and tent like this.
I really have to say the smoke from these plants with the seeds to me are mid grade bud , I like making my own seeds to have and stock up on and always looking for good quality strains to trade…
Appears you and I have almost identical grow styles/breeding. I’m actually trying something different this year(going back to coco) for a few pheno hunts and a preservation project. Nothing like RDWC imo, NOTHING. Clean, powerful, super quick and easily steered. Very nice my friend
An incredible portion of what many would consider elite today is from herm/accidental pollination.
No matter how much time we spend trying to predict what will happen if someone was to mate plant a with plant b, the only way to know for sure is to grow the progeny.
An example of this is someone or group decided to select for the ugliest, runty, trash plants and mated them together. Against all odds (lol) the runts made higher quality plants in the next gen than the control group which consisted of good looking/favorable trait plants.
So in the words of Tom Hill after a 50 pages discussion about breeding…
“Just cross the damn plants”
Mith you really are into this breeding stuff. Getting me more and more excited for your future projects lol.
I really love the Tom Hill self breeding method. This would definitely be my Avenue. The 5 family thing for vigor is an excellent idea. That man really knows his stuff through and through.
It all started 2 years ago when I received seeds from 1993 from a friend of a friend. The guy grew for decades and only kept these 2 lines so I figured they were important.
I was already a grower but knew absolutely nothing about breeding so I joined a forum and have been reading like a madman since lol
Man, Tom Hill is a walking encyclopedia haha and one of the few that still bothers to explain stuff to us. He made a comeback when the rumor he had died started circulating, and for a few months we could talk breeding with the guy.
His sometime abrasive style got him banned of course but he left a ton of infos during that short span of time
They banned Tom? Even with his blunt attitude… like you said a true treasure to the community. I’d love to see him back…
Anyways, I’m definitely going to be reading through his posts. I’d like to get some knowledge under my belt. I really want to create something special.
