I’ve been assuming he’d tell us when he’d shipped them, and get us some tracking info, but maybe not. Does anyone know if they’ve been shipped yet?

My order was broken into two separate shipments. The first one has shipped but the tracking number I received was from an old order that isn’t relevant to mine. Nothing in the mail yet and that was over 3 weeks ago.

Supposedly the North American orders have mostly all shipped.

On the flip side, he is very active on IG and I have had weekly if not near daily contact.

Just waiting it out here. I have another order coming from a nearby town that has tracking information and was shipped about 2-3 weeks after his was shipped. I’m confident that the new one will come in so if the first order doesn’t show up before this one, I’m going to assume something happened.

Stature and flower time are traits that can be selected for but they are complex traits so I think it takes big numbers and multiple generations of selecting to get a tangible result . Flower time especially is something that I have found a long slog to het down and even after 5 or 6 generations at most I’ve shaved maybe 2 weeks off flower time, and not 100% consistently either. I’ve had less trouble with selecting for branchy shorter stature plants and find this can become a reasonably dominant characteristic in a line pretty quickly… Mold resistance is a bit of a mystery to me, I know it’s mostly if not all structure/density related but then I often get dense 50/50 hybrids that are sitting next to each other, one rots and the other has no problems, so there is something going on with it that I don’t understand yet…

It’s really cool to see land race types from the sub continent!

very interesting. I wonder if fungal resistance has more to do with cellular structure (cell wall strength) or chemical make up (something prominent chemical constituent that we arent aware of or associating with fungal resistance currently). seems to me like some of the heirloom or primordial plants i have growing have far less issues with botrytis, but also have vastly different bud structure than modern hybrids. Maybe the indoor selection for density and other qualities has led to varieties that have lost their outdoor resilience due to the fairly consistent conditions of indoor

Heh, we never know, huh? I hope he’s still into it. Us guys would sure be a good contact for him to do business. And, he would sure be a valuable contact for us.

Definitely terrible and I pray :pray: everything else for him is going well and everyone he cares about is safe.

I’ve received nothing still, it’s been a hot min forsure. No messages from him either in over 30 days.

I’m hopeful the seeds will eventually make it here, but IF they don’t, I guess he likely needed the $$ more then I did. No hard feelings. Hope he’s OK.

@Shiv9545 you ok buddy?

Hello folks! A day late and a dollar short, that’s me. I do hope @Shiv9545 is at least not ill himself, I would certainly not be alright in his situation.

I recognize many of you which is heartening. I’m new to the search but I have a fire in my belly and suddenly know a bit more about what I remember and am seeking. Greetings to you all.
