My advice to anyone who cares is this. If your sitting on a good collection of seeds, start cracking them, start with the ones you know are the most viable so that way you do not lose them to old age, cross them, make IBL lines and cross them out to anything you have worth keeping, If you have a shit ton of good viable seeds then hook up some of your buddies who grow, if they dont grow get them to run 5 plants for you, start cracking all them 5 packs, breed them out.

Now for the older seed stock, I noticed online a guy who is selling TC home kits for Cannabis, but he also sells for 60$ a TC kit for old seeds, I will look for the link, get that kit, start your older seed stock, any good males you get cross them to all your best strains, also cross them back to make IBLs of the older stock.

The reason for all this? so that way we are not forced to buy watered down fems and autos when the smoke clears.This way we will have more options then the masses who only grow 1 or 2 kinds.

Oh last but not least find the other guys doing the same as you and trade with them so you can get new genes but also to preserve yours.

Excellent post man. That's my biggest fear, a market flooded with fems and auto's and no access to male pollen. A market dominated by GHS types. I don't play with fem seeds for this very reason, I refuse to support the type. Selling fems ain't so bad in itself it's just the people who sell ONLY FEM and restrict access to male pollen that bothers me. One day our seed stock's may be considered heirloom.


I try to chuck some pollen every round and I continue to plan on doing so. I recently just hit about 6 strains with C99 pollen and hit my C99 with a rare limited edition Bodhi drop. When I have proper facilities I will try my hand at some real breeding.

Exactly, I have been thinking this for years on and off, but recently was really thinking it when I tried to get some sensi star reg seeds and found out they do not offer them any more, only fem.

At this point, no point in hording good strains in the hops of this and that, sure save some things for your self, but also get it out to the masses, we need better meds. It all kind of sucks right now, but I am sure we can turn that around in a few years. Hopefully with in the next few years we will be able to grow and we can start up a bunch of small collectives.

Good idea man I'm going to start handing out seeds to my friends and family. I've tried to convince some of them to start growing their own already but maybe if they have some seeds in their hand they will actually do it instead of just thinking about it.

Tell him heck just try 2. then if they happen to get a stinky good male, just get the pollen from it and give them 2 new seeds, lol, it may be slow that way, but at least it is proactive.

If you truly have 1000's which I do not doubt, then spread the love, you will never grow all them seeds, start handing out 5 packs to people and get them to make more seed, that is the way to change the game, and that is how to get better genes in the pool.

Exactly what I do.

Don't paint all Fem'd seed breeders with the same brush. Working with Fem'd pollen is a painstaking process, which requires rigorously stress testing the target mothers for Hermie traits. I agree that not all breeders take the time needed when working with Fem'd pollen, but some certainly do.

I do agree with that, if you stress the heck out of a line, if it does not show any hermi traits, then I would say making a few line with that is good, not to mention for reference purposes fem lines would be good. My strawberry skunk was from fem it is nice herb. But for us Cannabis die hards have reg lines gives us more room to play and find new things faster.

I never did paint them all with the same brush and I have nothing against the feminization process. That's why I said it's the ones that sell ONLY FEM who I do not support. (hence the "fems ain't so bad" part of my post). Because they do it for one reason and one reason only. Market control and to restrict access to male pollen.

Either that or they just want to S1 clone only's and cash in, which I'm not about supporting either.
