So my journaling skills leave a lot to be desired, but here are some pics of my most recent indoor crop. Forty plants grown in a SOG/SCROG combo. These are the dried tops from the first primary cut. These plants were clones of clones from the original 16 pictured above.

Okay, I'm getting a lot of seeds from my first plant, but from appearance alone it looks like just a fraction (50% maybe) are going to be viable. Does anyone have a good way of testing for viability short of planting the seed? My ipad is fritzing out so I can't post any pics right now. Will...

Hey Humanrob. I've been mostly lurking, but with the world changing, I'm ready to jump back in and get ready for the licensing in January. I am also going to start laying the groundwork for a co-op, so think maybe posting multiple threads in different forums would be a good way to spread the...

Every industry has it's robber barons and scumbags, but there are ways to keep a budding marijuana industry in the hands of the proletariat. For one thing, it's a weed, so it is a very hardy and diverse species of plant. I have found it relatively easy to grow superb examples, from both seeds...

I am on with clone swaps, seed swaps, bud swaps, it's all legal now. I am thinking that there needs to be a small growers co-op or growers association. Any Oregon hobby growers who would join a co-op?

I missed moving the plants one night, and the creeper came back around and topped two of the three potted plants, and broke off several branch tips of still immature flowers. A few night later I forgot again and got hit. Finally, I got into the daily habit of never missing putting the pots in...

The naming of this new local strain is based on the travails of an unsecured outdoor grow that was forced indoors. The momma and daddy plants started as seeds, and were transplanted outdoors after germing indoors until about mid May, after a week or so of 12/12 lighting to picks out the girls...

First check of seed condition. The first pic shows the seeds and flower from the first bud trimmed off about two weeks ago. Second pic is buds trimmed a couple of days ago. Seeds from first bud not mature and unlikely to be viable. Will check second set of buds in two weeks. Will be getting...

I love the harvesting part. Always make my day better to chop some pretty little buds down. I'm not far behind you with my outdoor grow. Put some pics on my seed post. Will have lots of seeds to share if you want some.

Remember to let them sit in the dark for a day or two. I also like to give them a little drink right before the lights go off. Looks like a great harvest for two plants. Were these blue snow dog or donkey kong?

Thanks for the input. Is there a guideline somewhere for seed breeders to use as far as a naming convention goes? I have been gardening for a number of years, and the names of things seems to be pretty arbitrary. I get vegetable seed catalogs every year, and haven't noticed the use of a F1...

here's the pic

I have a lumatek model LK1000 electronic ballast that I have used for a while. It has started to trip off after about 15 or 20 minutes, and the input button has to be reset for it to come on again. Obviously, this is a problem. See pic for close up of name plate. Question - will ambient...

Thanks for the feedback. I will report back how the breeding projects works. Forgot to mention that the male strain is donkey kong, and the females are blue snowdog and oregon greens, all from Oregon Green Seeds. I will have to come up with some new names for the crosses if the seeds turn...

The conversion factor I utilized accounts for the units. In my case, the conversion factor is a new unit that I call grams per square foot-watt-days, or grafootfootwadaze. Works perfectly, that is, works after a couple or twenty puffs of good smoke.
