Hey all, I must say, the types, cuts and strains are the most difficult part of being a new grower.
(I need some help choosing some seeds to pop. Skip to the last two paragraphs if you’re not a backstory kinda person )
Making the learning curve worse, I didn’t start smoking regularly and appreciating it until the last few years and would only read about strains when I’d get them.
I feel like I have a decent landscape of autos, and even feminized seeds… However, I’m overwhelmed when I try to keep up with a lot of strains and breeders and different cuts here… I picked up some seeds from someone getting out of growing. I know there is some solid stuff in there. My goal is to find a few winners to cross and find one to work into a full auto reg, just to understand the process and hopefully have something as a basis for crossing with other autos or fast photos. The genetics of all of this is very exciting to me if you can’t tell, but there’s so much history and vernacular to learn. It took me a week to figure out what MAC was lol
I come from a background in food and wine and have been lucky enough to meet and work with some of the top chefs, coffee roasters, and wineries in the world. My nose and pallet are usually pretty good, so hopefully I’ll find some good combos. All that said, I have all these seeds and don’t know where to begin. I’d like one that’s a strong fruit component, berry forward, another that’s more citrus, tropical, floral, spice, and one that’s pine forward. I tend to like sweeter strains, but I also wouldn’t mind working with something super skunky and gassy to understand it better and try one I grow for the first time.
Can anyone help me narrow these down, or offer up a trade that you you think is great for something that might serve as a good base genetics for my goals. For those of you that know these better than I do, any guidance is appreciated! Where would you start?
