We’ve finally arrived! Why do you use this forum?

Welcome! I use the forum to read others first hand experience growing specific strains in similar environments. It's an invaluable resource to be able to access such a broad data base of knowledge.

Personally I hate social media. This forum is more about serious growers compared to other pot forums.

Agreed, Social Media is hard to like unless I am blazed at 12am and want either random fact content or braind dead content. Just my opinion of course
 
I second that.

Welcome to RIU. I use this forum to learn and document my breeding projects. Most of the members dont interact with my posts because...

I read your posts man, and I really enjoy them. I don't usually interact because I don't have a lot to contribute.

I have always loved breeding and strain preservation but unfortunately have never been able to work with the numbers required to do any proper breeding myself, just pollen chucking. So until I can do it myself I'll just have to live vicariously through you(and others), hee hee.

Thanks for posting your work, you rock!

youre likely running into new users who are reading your posts but cant "like" or "react" yet, still makes your posts valuable though

Do you do pollen chucking as a hobby or business? I’d assume hobby since you’ll never get consistent batches. How long?
 
Alrighty then... Thanks everyone for making me aware of my ignorance. :blsmoke:
The like button is apparently irrelevant and responses to my posts is also not relevant.

Here is a fun and random piece of information. Ive invested a decade into my Valley Ice breeding project. Im half way to IBL status. I will enter some cannabis cup competitions in approximately 7 more years. I think thats how far out I am to finishing this project. I didn't anticipate that it would take this long... but I suppose its the very reason that very few breeders are willing to do this type of work. It takes a really long time. One IBL in my lifetime seems like an incredible feat and Its humbling. CheersIMG_20250826_174825548.jpgIMG_20250826_174553440.jpg

7 years? Seems like a long time huh?
 
7 years? Seems like a long time huh?
A total of 17 years seems pretty long... but thats how things have turned out. I suppose it could be quicker if I do my selections only indoors, but that betrays the very essence of the project. An IBL that has adapted to the PNW and thrives outdoors. Cant breed an outdoor strain indoors, unless you replicate the natural elements indoors which is damn near impossible.
 
I’m here because I’m a stoner and old time grower , who wants to get popping seeds soon as . Social media is a load of crap especially in the uk where people being locked up for typin the wrong thing.
This site is very positive and the members very friendly not to mention some the best growers here . It’s also funny stuff posted daily , puts a smile on my face multiple times a day
