I produced one of those seeds on a plant in veg. I’m growing the plant now and it’s female! Seed seemed normal to me. Plant showed sex just last week so under the microscope I estimated it to be a 2.5% yield in hash from fresh green buds. Nothing super duper yet, but I haven’t flowered her. Interesting days ahead!

I too have thought about this. I would presume those are probably just first to mature but I’m no expert on the subject. If true however it would save a lot of time and money!

@percyryan66 Thanks bud! It means a lot. I had another 8 hours of agony last night but feel confident I passed it. Hopefully there’s not more to come… 
Work tomorrow so I’m trying to rest my organs since they are super sensitive from the long battle.

Just a wee note for everyone coming into the thread that may be considering buying from KC after reading this thread. KC Brains website is having some issues just now on windows/mac/linux.
I’ve just spoken to KC and he says if you access the site via cell/mobile phone it should work ok, Though I have not checked this myself yet as I don’t have my phone with me right now

Hope you are feeling better after passing - it is so difficult to go to work when you have felt like sh*t, thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for your recovery -

Ok well I have been mobile today with minimal issues. I ended up giving into the Flomax after hour 3-4 Sunday/Mondays event. I managed to pull another 1500+ seeds so I do have enough to cover the 80 sign ups for sure if it gets to that. 
Purchasing shipping supplies tomorrow and will start collecting info as well! 
@percyryan66 I think I’m in the clear for the worst of it. No more soft drinks as my go to from now on. Health is wealth and I think as the years go by I need to make more cents/sense of it. Water good. 
@Haggis Mighty OG of you brother for the heads up! I do have to admit I have never purchased directly through the site it’s always been through other retailers.
@Nick Thanks for the support bud, it sure has been tough. I had one about a year ago and only lasted two hours from the time the cramp started to passing it. This has been a nightmare put mildly. This too shall pass!

I had a buddy who got them from drinking beer… He figured, beer makes you go to the bathroom more, so if he just kept drinking the stones would leave when they were smaller 
🤦. I don’t know if it is a good idea or not, but other than his liver, he seemed pretty good to go 
In all honesty, women have said its more painful than child birth, I’m happy it’s over for you!

Maybe try getting into drinking tea @OGSince03 . I drink at least a pot a day of genmaicha to keep the moving parts clean. Japanese sencha with roasted brown rice that has been popped like pop corn. Great for flushing out the bad. Anyhow, I hope things trend on a positive direction health wise.

Alls well that ends well as they say. Drinking too much of anything is not good so a balance it will be.
I recently had a buddy fall off a ladder from having dried kidneys and split his head open needing over a dozen stitches from drinking too much. That could have ended up very different and thankfully it did not.
My old man use to say “ take care of you’re body son you gotta live in it” so once again I’ll refer to the wiser.
Sending out PMs shortly so be on the look out!

@Budderton A question, in case there isn’t any ready made around, would it be enough to toast some decent brown rice, mix it with green tea and voilá!?

@Budderton You know the last bout I had I started lowering my soft drinks and started drinking Lipton green tea but have not tried genmachia
This sounds amazing actually I will definitely give it a go! Thanks for the wise words!

Note to everyone I reached my max daily messages after #20 on the list. I will group msg the remaining to prevent this but I must wait 23 hours… If anyone would like to send me their info I can go that route as well.

Yep, that’s what I do @Abbbian . You can buy pre made genmaicha but the tea leafs are usally low grade. It’s easy to make your own and is better quality.
There’s been a shortage of quality sencha so I’ve using Lipton green tea with brown rice expertly toasted by Mrs. Budders.
About one tea spoon per pot.

Thought I would throw a little update in on the bean collection extravaganza!
I have three of these tubes I got from my brother after his last run of the GG4. Tubes turned out to be too thin to get flower in and out of easily so I thought it was appropriate to recycle if you will.
I collected roughly 1000 from the #2 last night before bed and continued this morning. 700 this morning bringing the total to over 2500 from the one plant. Not too shabby. I think I may need to submit the extras to the fall box possibly.
Anyhoo take care all. Enjoy the day of rest as they say! Blessings for the week ahead. Packaging will continue once supplies are received!

Great work OG 
and thanks for spreading the love around here
On the first pic, the beans seperated by colour or is that just the lighting in the room?

Thanks bud! Big haul indeed. I believe @DougDawson has many more than I to count through!
My pleasure to share them around! No problem at all!
I thought the same thing about the color, but it’s due to those being collected last. I did notice that too. I have been extremely caution about getting anything mixed up. I have a collection of beans that include all three phenos due to the location of drying and movement. Seeds fall off in the dry area and randomly around the house and all go into a pile of randoms…
