I have to make a choice with my oaxacans
I grew out 6 of @Upstate
upstate oaxacans and then I had volunteers come up in March…I will call those g2
. I grew out two of the remaining seeds from last year. These I’ll call g1
I have three males and 6 or.more females
All.my plants last year were pearl phenos
I didn’t have a silversides pheno

Here’s my dilemna…one of my g1s is a male
2 of my g2s are males
Should I keep all thr males alive or kill the g2 males and let one g1 male breed all my females
This would restrict the gene pool and bring the old genes to the front so to speak
What would you do?

I’ll say a prayer that your situation improves soon. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out why things happen to us, but somewhere down the road, you’ll look back and understand that this part of your life was necessary. Keep your chin up brother. Better days are coming.

Depends if you want to start your own line or not.
One thing when maintaining landraces, o anything else…without selections the plants become less potent in many cases. For that reason I would choose your best male. If there is not a clear winner, use each of the three of them on separate branches and tag them. Pass out some seeds, and see which of the males was the best, Or next summer plant a few from each one to find out.

Can always ask for advice when needed from OG’ERS at the minimum! @Elchischas

Youll find it and things get better

Always pray in difficult times…I do …And I have no idea how things get done…but they do!

It helps you release it off of you…Having that guidance works for me

That sounds tough Elchischas, I wish for you that doesn’t last too much longer and you make it back to the garden with renewed vigour. You’ll be appreciating natures bounty all the more after this. Hope you have some time for garden planning to help keep you connected to the source.

You have to convince yourself you are strong!

And you are going to make it no matter what…

God will always tell us we are gonna make it…just keep on going!

Ask God for the strength you need

Tell yourself what a good guy you are

And how valuable what you have to offer is!

Its True!

Works for me

Keep your chin up bud. Being stuck away from home sucks especially when it’s a simple piece of paper holding you up. Just think of the growing you plan on doing when you get home! Praying and sending positive vibes your way brother!
