Can you expand on this?
""Those particular buds were the result of many years work. I would collect 100 clones from the mother and pick the three best for new moms. This was repeated for 25 generations, the best of the best.""
Many believe that the further you get from that original 'choice' mother plant, that the genetics degrade or at the least begin to change due to environment and other factors in it's life span. We often hear of 10+ year old mother plants. This would put your current mothers 25 generations removed from that plant. Have you seen or noticed a difference?
Also if the clone is indeed an exact replica of the mother, what sense would it make to do this for 25 generations, to have the exact same plant at the end?
Thanx, RMH
In theroy they are exact but just like identical twins there can be slight changes even though the DNA is exact. Like all living thing the strongest survive. I have not seen a decline from multible generations of cloning, quite the opposite. I agree the plant does drift from the original mother, certainly the first Sensi Star mom didn't produce anywhere near the size buds as those in the photo. Those were vastly improved with an extremely high trichome count.
I did the same thing with a Black Hash strain and had the same results. Those were the plants taken by the DEA when I was arrested. The DEA officer said that in his 25 years on the job they were the largest buds he had ever seen. I asked if he would put it on paper but he declined, "Dana grows biggest buds in my 25 years." Would have been frame worthy

Saddly I later read they were used to intrap others which really pissed me off. As a humorous note, the door to my grow room was open at the time I was raided, it backed up to a blank wall. When I returned home I slammed the door and there pinned to the door was a qp I saved for a fellow patient that they never saw. I have never laughed so hard in my life, good search guys!!!!! Instant Karma.
As for the Sensi Star strain, it was killed off by a babysitter while I was on a two week vacation. He had run out of nutes and thought it best not to add water if he didn't have the nutes. True story, better no water than water without nutes. Of course the grow store was almost a mile away so who can blame him. I now have all of my facilities on CCTV with readouts of vital signs which can all be seen on my phone. God bless technology.
On the new product front, I have been given a new type of light to try out. I have one of a total of two that are in the US, total of 288 Watts with a par value equal to a 1000W HID. One quarter the energy use and a fraction of the heat. If it works, you could have the same light as 4 1000W HID's without the power spike and no venting. I told the inventor if it could kill mites it would be a growers wet dream. I think we'll need to add a bit more red but otherwise it looks good so far. It is called an LE"G", going through UL testing now. Stay tuned. FYI, For those using LED lights, our lab just determined that due to a lack of radiation output cannabis doesn't produce the trichomes it should. Trichomes are what protect the plant from the suns radiation. No radiation, no need for trichomes.
Now this is what it's all about, rock on
