30ish Yr old Columbian Gold Seed Sprouts. Do I Want it to be a Male or Female?

Reeferman was among the best when many breeders who many here believe to be good or great were still working their paper routes or riding their bicycles to little league practice.

Reef is a true pro while many popular and beloved breeders are schmoes.

Well I meant his persona, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Again, the finished product is all I am interested in but I could see why some people wouldn't want to do business w/ him due to his past.

I don't know about his; "persona." I just know that I have dealt with him since his early days as Prairie Fire Seeds and later as Reeferman and a good number of times in the past, while he was still in Canada, I would call to ask about strains and a number of times I spoke with him and he seemed honest and straightforwards. We have also been members of several sites together and exchanged a fair number of messages and again, he was always honest and straightforward with me.

Those things are more important to me than one's; 'persona." Who and what someone chooses to portray themselves to the public where image can matter and be of importance is far less important to me than who and what they actually are in the real world.

Definitions of persona on the Web:

• character: an actor's portrayal of someone in a play; "she played the part of Desdemona"
• (Jungian psychology) a personal facade that one presents to the world; "a public image is as fragile as Humpty Dumpty"

this thread is pretty informative and entertaining I like the banter and jabs. Good luck on this grow. I have some seedboutique freebies sam the skunkman (mixed seedsxhaze/skunk#1). I heard this is a long flowerer. I also heard the seeds were old and may not pop. Out of 4 one popped for me and just poked out the soil about 3 days ago.

ty Donni. its got some pizzazz thats for sure. lol

Sprouts doing fine. popped a few more seed into the cup and drown them saturday. when they sank, into the peat/dom they went.

bot are rooting. one is a DP WW, so nothing new there, but the other is one of the older Early Pearl seeds i had. got about 3 healthy seeds in the mid/late 90s. so they re not as old as the CGs. have 3, and tried one so far. so far so good. should be fully sprouted in the next day or so.
so thats 2 old skooler seeds. the cool thing about the EP, is its one of the first Hybrids of mostly a sative, and some indica. and is a early finisher, likely the first available. should be its own fun ride.

Im glad to see you found the Early Pearl seed. How many weeks to flower for her? I'll guess 9-10 wks not sure. Please inform me. thanks.

I know about his past..to each his own i say lol..but are his genetics still decent?> alota of em are on sale to move at hemp depot...i jus didnt wanna get hosed.

the EP is just about a week from sprout, its Tall to. lol will need to transplant it and the DP WW this weekend into 5 inchers.

i ll probably veg the EP for 3 to 4 weeks, after another 2 weeks of rooting time. then i ll take a couple cuts like im doing with the CG, and bloom them out. Its my understanding, EP would bloom out in 8 to 10 weeks. so if all goes well, near the end of August or so, I should be taking the first ones out of bloom. ofcourse assuming its a F and not a M.

I ll get pics in a while of them all.

the CG is nearly a ft tall (10ish inches) now. has LOTs and Lots of internodal growth.

i found this thread at the perfect time. can't wait to see if you got a female.

id kill for some 30yr old Columbian Gold! its the closest thing a young guy (in my 20s) can get to being able to smoke weed back in the 70s/80s.

great job. plant looks very nice.

the final verdict is still out on what it really is, but im pretty sure of my mammory, though its been off before. lol

none the less its looking great. i last say it mon morn as i left for work, got home tonight, did the norm, then check the kids.
all needed a drink. took a few pics along the way. this is about 8pm tonight.



nice close up of how much its sprouting.





heres a pic of the 2 new sprouts.they were barely peaking thru the dirt monday. only the dp had a green leaf area about 1/4 in up. the ep was barely a white spot in the peat. here they are after 4 days of 16/8 under a dom with 2 t12 floros (same as sprout 1)

EP on Left, DP WW on right.


EP is the taller of the 2
really showing a more vigorous growth rate imo.


enjoy.

I would take cuts regardless of sex, either male or female!!!!

Also wow its tough, i guess I would want it to be female, but at the same time I would love to have a male and female of both to breed it out, landrace and pure genetic not messed with landrace stuff from 20-30 years ago are prettty much now gone stateside for sure..... look at how hard and how much some breeds like Anjan spend just to find true pure landrace stuff that is unmolested.

i planned on taking a couple cuts today, but its going to have to wait till next weekend. too much to do today to get ready for the work week.

so next week, i ll take 2 cuts (the top, and one lower one) and get them rooted up so they can go into bloom by the middle of may i hope.

Still watching that CG, Lovin this grow, keep it up...

thanx. Coming along nicely. Still unsure at this point. this is pretty much Day 40 from sprout. still looking a bit wide but fingers are starting to get longer and longer on the newest top sprouts. going to try to cut 2 clones off it this weekend, maybe sooner depending on weather and work.

yea , they do look a little fat for a sativa ... but Iv'e never grown one myself ... so they may get thinner as they go - not sure to be honest - but I'm really hoping that you have a real old school sativa there . Time will tell- just hang in there and see where it goes .


Best of luck - I'll be checking back

ty, Sprout and the new cuts are all looking great today.

It is known for pure sativas to have thicker leaves on some phenos. Looking healhy bro.

in noticing much of the leaf structure is a 9 leaf pattern. not sure if that makes any differance, but the percentage of them is way over the other lower first grown leafs which were mostly 5 and 7s.

that doesn't sound too out of the ordinary, i think there are a few strains that have a higher leaf count - don't recall what those would be though

my sativa's have a lot of 9ers and pretty sure some 11's. i'll check it out to be sure when lights come on tonight in a couple hours... but the fingers on mine are definitely a LOT narrower...

Whatever it is, it sure looks healthy. Beautiful, even green in those leaves, man. Nice job.
