Vintage Kentucky Red Hair strain

Very cool project @ChinookKing !

Wondering if you used the same female you reversed as the female recipient?

Any chance you continued the line in regular form?

The female I reversed is a different plant than the recipent. I gave 15 seeds of reg KRH to two eager OGers for them to run. Basically I’m making and working a fem line. They are doing whatever they see fit and in the not so far future we recombine the lines for some hybrid vigor KRH domination!

Things are going well (I hope). I have someone looking over my plants while I’m in Canada muskie fishing this week. Muskie fishing has been ok, got three fish in the boat in two days thus far. Fishing into a full moon phase means the fishing should get better as the week progresses. I will post update when I get back home next week.

Old south genetics are different than today’s Cali crap. The skunk I have has hypocotyls twice as thick as any of the fake seed bank crap called skunk. 5 blades on the second node. Not “mutated”.

Different feeding requirements. It’ll eventually ‘mutate’ into Cali weed if you grow it that way generation after generation. Dj shorts a good example. Still thinks his “mutated” dark curled Blueberry is a good sativa. The nutrient industry is the most influential Cannabis breeder of the 21st century.

that makes it more evolved than mutated, unless you count mutations as evolutions. hell, i don’t really know anything about it, beyond high school level biology 35 years ago.

All depends on your network… There has always been good weed and bad weed in every state ,
And its not so much the seed bank , And its the more so the breeder your selecting the seeds from …
If the seeds have been grown in kentucky for sometime they will acclimate to that enviorment ,If your indoor adjust light timer to a Kentucky “timezone” sunrise to sunset light cycle … either way i think it will suttle expressions if any ,

Being I’m from said state, I’ll toss one outside next spring, and let you know how it goes. I’m curious to learn the characteristics of how it grows, as well as smell and taste.

You be careful, last I knew they weren’t friendly at all out there. We left 10 years ago this month! I can’t say as I miss it.

They’re more concerned with pills, meth, and fentanyl anymore. I got off work one day years ago on a Friday. Got pulled over on 75 S, had an Oz of loud in the truck, know the cop smelled it, asked if I had anything on me he needed to be aware of, told him no sir, he gave me my ticket for speeding, and told me to keep it under 85.

Up in Harrison County they’d have been frothing at the mouth! Probably never would have made it back to the station though

It’s sad really. This state would have revenue like you wouldn’t believe, if it went recreational. Farmers would make a killing, and the quality we could produce here…

Recipent KRH female knocked up and making fem seeds.

Ive already plucked many pollen filled pods from the reversed donor plant and dried them for two days on a sieve. I got a lot of pollen and have frozen one full vial. I will give him/her a few days to let remaining pollen pods mature before harvesting and freezing more fem pollen.

Was on LOTW. Had a straight line east wind for two straight weeks up there due to the storm systems in the Atlantic. Made things very hard. I personally managed to scrap up a 39" and a 37". Wasn’t a very good trip to say the least. Way she goes sometimes…

My plants were in excellent condition when I got back. I should have taken a pic of the numerous extra long white pistils on the recipient plant. Was scrambling around at a frantic pace busy though. Im looking forward to getting nice greasy striped brown fem KRH seeds! Hopefully I didn’t get greedy and pollinate too much of the plant. I’ve done that before where it simply doesn’t have the energy to handle all the seed growth. Fingers crossed.

Hadn’t noticed this thread before, super cool project! Those red hairs on the original are so cool looking. I’m with you, I don’t understand the obsession with regular seeds on this site, all the genetics we care about are in the females, when you reverse a female you know exactly what you are going to get, and there’s no evidence it leads to hermies. I can’t think of a good reason NOT to fem seeds. I’m not trying to argue with anyone, but I just don’t get it. Anyway, great project.
