Topdawg Genetics

This is what I'm thinking about now. Should I blow the whole pack? And either selectively cross all females? Or let the whole pack naturally pollinate? Just to keep as many genes as I can out of the pack? Then do all the selecting.

I mean if you're really going to pick the best male you really need to take them all to completion first. So you've either got to separate sexs for selective breeding and waste space. Or just keep them together and let them do there thing.

I'd be doing this with the cuttings that I'd normally use to sex my plants. Rather than tossing them after they showed sex. I'd just let them all carry on for seeds. The original seed plants I'd cull the males and allow the females to finish without pollination. So I could do my selecting. From then on I can selectively breed. But always have the open cross pollinated seeds to fall back on in the future. If ever needed.
If I had the room I would totally do selections. We've been living in a smaller house while we complete work at our farm house. My father left it to me and his greenhouse structures are still in good shape. Just waiting for me to fill them up again. Though I doubt I'll ever be able to farm on his level.

I've only done it a couple of times, but when I've made seeds in the past I've always just taken the best looking males and set them on a milk crate out in the utility shed. Set the girls lower on the floor, turned the fan on and let em go.

This time around I wanted to have a little more control and only hit a couple of branches on a few select females. I've been chasing chem/citrus/orange terps for awhile and come up short. Figured I might as well try to make my own. :weed:

my Sister City is coming down today! I broke a branch off couple weeks ago, still swirling the milk in the trichomes, too early for me, but I could tell this one was the right chick! She finished early(of course right) and comes down this morning. She's all about the chem4 expression and showed solid milky on by day 60 when I checked. For good measure, and to piss some posters of I patiently waited to the suggested 63 days being yesterday to see ambering peaking through the solid milk trichs now.

Just like the breeder told me...chem expressing variety=...63 days 12/12 with c02 in a controlled space. Voila !!! a new Holy Grail!

the others are twice the height, some milky trichs, fresh new odors with the Super Skunk shining through.
I'm watching and was told the SS leaning girls would take a little longer to finish=truth

no pesky jjchem traits in the Super City, ahhh a relief.

Smoked my last female of stardawg 91, less than excited about it. So outta 2 packs of td, nothing worth my $ imo. Denver diesel gave me 1 okay plant outta a pack n stardawg 91 was a disappointment.

I've had real fire in the past with topdawg gear, older/original offerings. But these new ones I've collected are disappointing to me also.
many have a sinus infection, some a skin infection, some are even lame. I dont like having to grow out two packs of a strains seeds to find just one good girl. My onycd's are a treat and this sister city is the icing, but I'm done with td after these. Hopefully I keep both, but we'll see with the competent competitions of recent

Lol all these no name seed companies.. Why pay 200 bucks when there's plenty of good genetics going cheaper? Do ya really think they are charging that much because they have something special? Or is it much more likely that they are greedy.
The best seed companies have always been smaller ones for me and I am 15 years deep now and grown thousands of seeds. The big names have tended to be a joke most of the time just like cannabis clubs, dispensaries, and legal cannabis as a whole. The product sucks and can't be mass produced at high quality like most designer things. Nearly every single elite in the past two decades has come from a small time grower. So small no one even knows where the hell it came from originally most of the time.

Curious how expensive were your shoes and your shirt? I just paid 150-200$ a piece for 4 Italian and Swedish ties /shrug I have no problem spending 100-200 bucks on a pack of seeds as long as I know the quality is there or the genes really interest me compared to others especially at 400$ an ounce and a minimum of $4000.00 a single 1k watt.

Try producing seeds (we aren't even talking breeding) and you will see the people charging less than a hundred are making almost nothing and taking a huge risk whether in a legal state or not. I learned a long time ago there is no money in breeding, it is a passion, the money is in the product.

PS The breeder is only making 100$ you have to split it with seed distributors as they are necessary evil right now since you are a complete moron to attempt to sell seeds directly...

Now take away cost of distribution, rent, electric, equipment, legal fees, marketing, how much of that 100$ is left? And breeder's are selling pack for 30$? Even unworked lines that is a lose lose situation. At that price point fuck seed production grow product.

Well it's been a full week now since I ordered from sour patch. No tracking number yet. I just had to send him a manifesto listing my issues with this order. Can not what to hear what type of reply I get. I'll be sure to share it. But at this point I expect the order I placed with greenpoint 4 days later to arrive before this one.

He tries to take care of business but he lets outside problems interfere with his business. Not the best customer service . Keep us updated

I can't see how y'all still doing business with that clown. If he had seeds for a dollar I wouldn't take the chance. Best you can do is file a chargeback and go someplace else..
