Kashmir Crowdsource Testing

You mean grow a batch of small seeds next to a batch of large seeds to see if the plants segregate, likewise? I haven’t, but that might yield some real interesting data.

Throwing them all into flower for a hundred hours in hopes of catching some early preflowers. Then back in veg for a week, and probably another four days of flower to help segregate some more.

As many males as reasonable will be flowered out and their pollen mixed 1:1:1:…1 and they will collectively impregnate every single female.

Had originally started a little over a hundred plants, and given out a couple dozen already. The large cups were supposed to be picked up weeks ago — and then they were supposed to be picked up today…. Starting to think my buddy’s bullshittin, and never going to pick em up lmfao.

You try and make it as low barrier as possible and you still hear this. I’ve had the same frustration. Donated a friend a tent, grow bags, light, seeds, clones. Still nothing months later.

Over time I’ve found that if the barrier is to low their is no respect or appreciation for what’s been given.

Is the kashmir still available or should I go over to the seed trading thread?

Somebody give this guy a barrier!

Ok, ok, couldn’t resist. I’m not the guy but as a somewhat long-time reader here I’ll say this:
Those who are pure of heart usually find what they seek.

Plus it looks like there’s a boonch of seeds out there!

There are (at least) 5 different batches of seeds from as many different gardeners in this run, so these plants should contain a greater variety of alleles than any of the previous batches I passed out. If we were working with a hybrid that’d be a negative. But in this case I’m hoping that because the selections were all done in isolation, that the average of our choices will help the line drift more towards a natural selection than I as an individual would have accomplished. Hence the large open-population — not to be confused with a random-pollination, that would happen if you just let nature take over and the first males to flower father all of the children. I know I didn’t answer your question but I get a ton of people asking the exact same question and I’m worried that the majority don’t actually read any of this. Lmfao

Lol :joy: that is a very real possibility. I’ve read parts of this thread and others. I read and saw enough that I’m interested in finding some. Do you explain more in the thread about the indoor and outdoor? Or where I could find that out.

Lovely writeup. I’m more than down to try my hand at growing some real exotic. Especially if it’s only 10-12 weeks. Sounds like an great project and I would be honored to participate

Hey W_F, I’m just getting to run my seed package I got from you late last year maybe.
Labeled 2020, 2021, then later on another small package came, unlabeled.
I think when I reread the post about these, it may be a pack of apple fritter x kashmir?
Anyway, I wanted to Thank You for being so very generous as I never expected to get 3 grips of beans!!
So, I’ve started some of each, 2020,2021, and unlabeled.
Something thrilling about casting unknowns into the ether for a growing surprise!!
A very humble Thank You, for this runs offerings, I just hope to do them justice.
Sincerely webe
