Long Term Mother Care

Well thats a fool moment. So Im not wrong about all this but theres a real hole I found in project. I just didnt think to search how long seeds really last for. Its like 5 yrs then 50% germ rates drop. Then its single digits after 15. Also loss of vigor and could just be shit plants.

Damn AI. This is what I mean when I say it can be a little misleading or idk a better word at the moment. Point is, someone has to keep paying it forward. Its clear theres a hash community, not all of it is being served, and some one has to be that middle man but it wont hold itself up.

New IBL hash breeders would have to come to scene. I would of made it easy for those who struggle but someones got to keep putting the love in. When I leave the scene. It does say to freeze seeds for 20 years but its just being AI again. Its onvious what the problem is. Some yall must think Im a real clown.

Just now realizing something so silly. Its a dilema tho I mean, it could take 300 phenos 3 years small grow to find a mother. You could get bugs and have to smoke the place etc. Hvld. Im hydro so if I didnt check it for two days for whatever reason and pump went out, it could die. I could personally have many reasons I cant care for them and have to start over.

Its a shitty pressure but I guess making your own strain isnt all that much better. I just be seeing people germ beans from 30 yrs ago so I thought 15 yrs easy. Its risky business tho all that hard work. It keeps saying to store them 20 yrs and just replenish mothers or even longer but its not seeing its own contridiction.

Its suddenly telling me sib mating to make more seeds isnt a good idea. Im seeing between the lines that getting to IBL status is hard work if you even make it, only to be a snapshot in time like I say.. You dont want to go any further other than to use these traits into other projects.

Well shit this sucks. This would explain why no one has done it. Youd be doing a lot of people a huge favor tho. I would be working 3 times harder to fullfill an obsession to avoid something making it redundant. It makes losing a mom look like not really a big deal. All because I didnt think hard enough about the seeds not lasting long.

So yea its like someone would be stepping it up for all of us which could very well benefit from that. Youd be pheno hunting 3 times to create it, when really, losing a mom and starting again and keeping that for ten years.. Is looking better. It may not last that long tho as you see I lost mine in two years.

Unless thats another hole in the project, that yields just can get cut in half for other reasons. Id blame gas lantern routene because it really did mess up my plants. They all growing way better now back to normal lighting. Maybe it forced it to prioritize finishing over bud and hash production idk but still likely I lost that pheno.

I knew I was getting ahead of myself I just didnt see where the issue is. I wasnt too far off tho. The “snap shot in time” is just something to keep reminding myself. Whos gonna provide it?..
