So what's happening around this way? I don't have too much going on right now, outdoors is kicking maximus assimus. I'm running Posen plants and Posen/second sight and Posen/pineapple chakra. I'll try to get some pics one of these days, but I always forget to take a camera with me. I'm the last guy in America who doesn't own a cell phone, lol.
Locally I have a dozen guys that I know of that are running my strains again outdoors, who knows how many by now that I don't know of. I also got a request from the guys at Cannabeizein for some of my outdoor seeds, so we will see where that goes. You might see some Posen/Cannabeizein crossing come around a couple years from now. Creating good outdoor seeds for Northern Rainy climates is a bitch.
Indoors I have a few Kernel Pupil going that look just fantastic. Mass Medical's 420 drop. I'm going to be hitting the nicest one with some Posen Pollen in a day or two. I also have a few "Notorious THC" from Humboldt Seed Company going. Let's just say that even when you have a ton of great plants to choose from it doesn't mean the offspring are going to kick ass. Finding a good Mother or Father plant isn't that easy because you just never know what traits it will actually pass on until you grow them out.
Humboldt is essentially selling testers and getting good money for them because they had so many plants to choose from, so it should be good, right? But even if you have ten thousand plants to choose from and you pick the best looking, smelling and tasting ones, that does NOT mean that they are good plants to breed with, you never know if you have a good breeder or not until you have bred with them for a while. They can be great looking plants and pass on shit genetics, you just never know.
Mass Medical has their Star Pupil and it seems to add magic to everything. Humboldt has lots of good plants to start with, but they need to do a lot more work before I'll buy from them again.
It's just one strain too, so who knows what other winners they might have, but these ones sucked. Notoriously fucked up actually. They grew side by side with the mass medical and are just lousy compared to them. Sad really, I've haven't grow anything this pathetic in a while. Who knows what the finished product will taste like but the plants themselves suck. Spindly, lousy structure, tiny buds compared with anything I've grown in years. Not just a waste of time but of space as well. They "look" healthy, they are green and the leaves are perky, but Wow are they janky.
It really does go to show that breeding is much harder than just taking two nice plants and sticking them together.
