Tony Greens Tortured Beans

That makes sense. I have f-d up and lolipopped and stripped plants too soon before flowering, or even on the day I threw them in and they were pissed. I have always attributed the extra leaf and differing texture of my outdoor product as inferior to my indoor because of moonlight and other variables in weather vs the precise control avail. to us indoors. I usually find a few seeds in the outdoor as well.

How would ā€œI bet youā€™re one of those breeders that blame every herm on grower errorā€ not be taken as an insult? Thatā€™s what started the outburst that ended with I have no integrity with no example to prove it and Iā€™m smarter than you and I have more integrity than you.

What even is all that? Yall wonder why not many breeders choose to willingly trudge through such boorish shit.

Again people can interpret shit like that however they want. I certainly donā€™t consider that normal respectful conversation. You mayā€¦

Of course every plant is different. That paper is one example of moonlight regulating genes. Iā€™m not going to do anyoneā€™s homework for them. Let the light shine if you want to ha

One has to wonder why canna will revert to monoecious in a few generations if left to its own devices.

You and I have spoken often enough throughout the last decade or so, youā€™ve found the occasional herm in my gear. I donā€™t think at any time Iā€™ve blamed you for them. We chuck em and move on and enjoy the gold.
I even tell you when to keep an extra eye. I think youā€™ve even taken blame on occasion and Iā€™ve said itā€™s just numbers and the plants.
Iā€™m certain at no time have I questioned your integrity and I would consider our conversations respectfulā€¦ Iā€™ve certainly never claimed to be smarter than you either.

I bet youā€™re one of those breeders who blame all the herms on grower error. Thatā€™s what it originally said lol

Thatā€™s a compliment? Get realā€¦

I prefer to debate people who are similar or higher intellectual level and Iā€™m not getting that vibe from you.

Thats super respectful ainā€™t it? Like I said early what even is this shit lol

Iā€™ll tell you I was unprepared for the sweetness and orange lemon coming off of these. Interesting smells but not a lot of heavy OG funk like the bubble heads and biker bubbles. Corgi said he liked the SG even more than the bubble head and he should know. Lol canā€™t wait

ok well then heā€™s a dick. i didnā€™t see an edit, but i know if you do it within a certain time it wonā€™t show up.
my apologies.

No need to apologize. I know what I signed up for posting on an internet board.

Youā€™d be the perfect person to refute his insult that Iā€™m just like every breeder that blames herms on the grower lol. Weā€™ve had intersex conversations for years.
You know them sour dubb lines will throw em occassionaly but you still grow em because of the quality. Besides the fact I repeatedly said chuck the weirdos sort the gold. Idk how I have no integrity.

I blame em on the plant. Monoecious cannabis is the natural state, diocy of cannabis is a tenuous man made construct to suit our needs.

You totally miss-read that. I meant that as if talking to the readers as a whole, Iike the environment/issues are the cause of intersex. However after reading it again, I can see how it couldā€™ve been interpreted as snarky. Which was not my intent at all. I had an issue with breeders and hermies when I first started. I got the ear of an old grower, and he educated me on my wrong doings. I was merely trying to say that breeders get the blamed for intersex issues, when it likely was grower error. Because thatā€™s exactly what I did, when I was a noob. Wasnā€™t throwing shade, and as said before, itā€™s all love.

Yeah my tent is leaky as fuck even to the point where my clone dome with purple CFLs is right next to the inlet fan on a shelf so the light is for sure bleeding in and hitting the ceiling of the tent and ive never had herm issues in that tent. Lights on the heaters, LED displays on the inkbird etc. No problems

Yeah Iā€™m a dick, but not this time.:joy: I didnā€™t edit anything. The message was miss-interpreted. And as many times as Iā€™ve tried to get people to understand that, I keep getting attacked. Which is my point. If two people canā€™t have a simple debate or discussion regarding cannabis, I donā€™t see any point of moving forward. I interpret that as a lack of intellect itself. Not saying he doesnā€™t know his stuff about breeding.

this is it really.
it really isnā€™t anyoneā€™s fault unless someone is using pistillate males.

Yeah Iā€™m excited for those gDubbs to come in. I might just start them next full Moon. I think Iā€™ll torture test them before making more seed.
whatā€™s your torture list I forgot some of them. I know you fuck with the roots, light schedule, pH swings, and something else or is that it?

Okay well I guess the idea of moving on didnā€™t exactly catch on with everybody. Look, I have read several years worth of Tony Green documentation on his struggles trying to create a stabilized hybrid and I think transparency is the key to integrity. I guess thatā€™s why Iā€™m defending him is because Iā€™ve spent so much time studying his work. I feel like heā€™s been totally open and transparent about everything including the way he comes up with his calculations. I donā€™t know anything about you except that you keep talking about being attacked and thatā€™s always a red flag for me. Letā€™s please stay on topic.

I spent 2 years running almost pure land race seeds from Ace in Spain and although some of their lines are highly worked there are still at least. At least. 10% Hermies even in their Panama. Louis who runs the place I would consider a friend. Weā€™ve talked much in the last 2 to 3 years and he is very open and transparent about the work he does stabilizing these difficult plants. I know a thing or two about Hermies and I think we should keep the conversation going but letā€™s not get all over blown about this s***. Over and out.

It was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion. If you guys are waiting for an apology, itā€™s not coming. As far as I am concerned, I didnā€™t do anything wrong. Iā€™ve already tried to keep it ā€œmovingā€, and be done, but everyone has to keep chiming in. But if people keep on addressing me, I will answer.

Eats, shoots and leaves.

I always have to remind myself that sometimes getting across what you actually mean via messages on a forum can be challenging at times. I know I often forget grammar and my mind goes faster than my ability to type and I skip words at times. Even if all the grammar and itā€™s a very well-written post, its still lacks half the context us humans use to communicate.

I think itā€™s very reasonable for @Purple-N-Hairy to be very on guard about hermies after having to scrap months of work. I would be. Not a mistake you want twice in a row. GG4 has a reputation, removed from Tony, about herms soā€¦

@Tonygreen @Recyoself313 I think this largely boiled down to a miscommunication about a sentence that could be read a few different ways. Sometimes its hard to back down when you feel you are being attacked by someoneā€™s post, and Tony has a very good reason to preserve his rep. If it is a case where someone is talking out there ass and attacking you wellā€¦

There was no miscommunication he changed his post. His next post after discusses my inferior intellect.
The one after a comment on my low integrity.

Youā€™re right though. First person Iā€™ve blocked on a forum in many years. Iā€™ve got 4 kids if I want to play games.

Case in point. I had to be blocked. Canā€™t have a conversation these days.:roll_eyes: The original post was never edited. So Tony miss-read it, and double down that it was edited. Believe what you want. It wasnā€™t edited, thatā€™s a scapegoat.

I have ā€œhighā€ hopes for these 4 BubbleHeads I have going into flower. Excited for this journey!
