Greenpoint seeds!!

Seed size has nothing to do with the seed being healthy nor does it have any bearing on the plant that will result. I have a few tiny seeds that are my most valued

How do you usually pop tiny seeds? I lost 7 seeds because none popped!!

Paper towel folded and thoroughly wetted, with seeds folded inside. This is placed inside a quart zipper freezer bag and placed on top of a warm tent under a shoebox top. Most seeds have tails in 36 to 48 hours and some will grow tips right through the towel if left much more than 36. I get nearly 100% germ rate with some breeders. Remember to leave the bag "puffy" when you seal it to insure a great air supply.

If youre talking to me...feel free to quote me. If not...I'm replying anyway.

I brought up seed size because I got 2 packs of the same strains at 2 seperate times. The size of the seeds were very noticeable. I didn't bring it up as a NEGATIVE. I stated it was odd that the SAME strain had 2 separate sizes in seed form.

Most of the time that I've made seed or purchased seed, the size was uniform pertaining to strain.

I too have dink beans that I prize...again most of my favorite purple strains.

This would be a great time to mention a new addition to the garden!

This morning I scooped a hand operated sieve and some 6mm to 2mm screens to make sure we only sell the biggest juiciest seeds out there. This will really ensure only the highest quality beans make it into packs. I got the hand operated one, thing was expensive as hell.

Nice. I've been looking at that Pure Ghost OG.

That MAVERICK and JELLY PIE sound promising.

Will be waiting for those to hit auction!

How was the stability on your grape pie? Sounds like a yummy cross !

Here is the lone picture that I have of a Dream Catcher just before harvest. I wish I had more pics, as it was a really big and colorful plant. The tomato cage is 54 inches high so I am pretty sure that this plant was about 4 foot of colas from top to bottom. I cant remember the yield but it was over 20 ounces for sure, this pic really shows only about the top 3/5 of this plant. Really dense flowers for a BD cross. This DreamCatcher colored up pretty fast. At about 5 weeks in I was pretty sure that this plant was going to go full purple on me. It didn't, the pink and maroons stayed throughout. Again really top notch bag appeal.

Another cross from GPS that you all should run if you have room and time!

I dunno bout that yours could just be flukey right? I now what you mean, like I've had stunted runts before that I considered discarding then wham turns out to be the best of the pack and I need to tighten up my controls is all.
But I know I'd choose a big dark brown seed with pronounced striping any day over a tiny pale bean.

First things first: A huge THANK YOU from myself to Gu~ for being a man of his word - something not to be taken for granted these days. Here is a list of what arrived in my mailbox from the man himself

Garlix (chem d/sour diesel ibl x star dawg)
Tomahawk (gg4 x star dawg)
Raindance (chem91/sfv og x star dawg)
Dreamcatcher (blue dream x star dawg)
Doc Holiday (kurple fantasy x star dawg)
Cackleberry (cherry diesel x star dawg)
Eagle Scout (forum cookies x star dawg)
Hibernate (bubba kush/fire og x aliendog x star dawg)

I've been wanting a chem d/sour d ibl cross forever now, but with these genetics its never easy deciding what will be popped first. One of the best dilemmas you can have in this game, thanks again Gu!

I do like when seeds of the same strain and breeder to look like one another and from pack to pack.

heh, from one plant I often find seeds of many sizes and shapes though there does seem to be a "nominal" that occurs more often it doesn't mean that those off looking ones are any less viable. As long as they pass the drop test and don't blow away by a puff of air or have that shriveled butt look they have a chance to crack and grow.

A lot of people are born puny premature or otherwise f'd up looking, and turnout to be keepers lol
I'm never picky with my garden seeds.
despite size and look, they've all been decent at worst.
As long as I don't get those zombie seeds that are hollow and Evil I'm happy
Besides GU just got a better sheller sorter thingofabob, and now all those poor things will be tossed away! Set em free GU!
Seed "second's" auctions baby!

I had an accident involving a chosen Dogtrap male that I intended to chuck with a few chosen Dogtrap and Golden Glue females, unleash and pollinate my entire crop of Dogtrap and Golden Glues. 2k watts of my time wasted on an open pollinated and unintentional chuck.

Of the 1000's of seeds I meticulously picked out of my buds I noticed some plants had all huge seeds and some plants had all tiny seeds. Some had tiger stripes and some were plain shelled, but all were very viable.

I found no difference in size effects germination.I cant wait to finish up these 2 other grows of scotss OG and some Northern lights to get on with these greenpoints.I think im gonna pop tomahawk and dynamite diesel first.I cant find jack on hickock haze so im gonna hold off on that one untill i see someone else grow it.I dont get on this site at all much just for this thread but when i start these i will be sure to post pictures and updates on what i think.here is what i have going now that im waiting on to get finished.

Scotts OG about 3 weeks into flower.






And nothern's under 630 watts of CMH in a 60x45 inch screen.I ONLY grow for the upmost quality so im only about nice frosty stink.I promise i will keep updates when i start my greenpoints.I have about 45 days left on the northerns and about the same on the scotts.Ill start the greenpoints about 2 weeks before my other ones are finished.

Holy Smokes! The cackleberry sounds amazing. It's not sold out either. Anybody growing her at all, I'm looking for something that smells offensive and can't leave the jar open too long?
