Hey bruver no worries, If I can't help a bruver out what good am I?
I have cuts...
I do not have any BlueBerry going on right now... but soon, very soon I will be running all the BB I have, and a BB cut delstele has. I will probly run my BB's as soon as I get the outdoor plants...outside " that idea is still very much up in the air".
I am in the proccess of collecting right now, why you got BB going on RachShow?

Dunno if any you of have read this, But I found it a good read.
Criteria Shantibaba uses for SELECTING MALE PLANTS AKA Mr Nice
Taken from Page 63 of Treating Yourself issue 25...
1. Resin Production and Potency – the quickness, the amount and where it is being produced will all be factors. An eye glass will be the most accurate means to view this trait.
2. Aroma – if there is a distinct aroma or something interesting to the nose.
3. Quickness to flower and release of pollen maturation and speed to reach pollen dispersal.
4. Internode spacing – based on the Fibonacci ratio of 1:1.6, this ratio is used in many applications, one of which is a rating of beauty and another in stability and consistency of some genetic factors in a plants makeup.
5. Leaf structure and Stature – whether it is more leaning to sativa or indica and how the plant grows in visible structure.
6. Resistance to hermaphrodism – no visible signs that the male flower has any naturally occurring female pistilates combined within the male flower.
7. Vigor and fitness – visible factors that show the plant to behave in a healthy normal growth pattern.
8. Depth of coloration – of the plant from lime green to deep dark green (ornamental trait)

The importance of selecting plants for the traits that are useful to the breeder/grower is the main reason genetics have evolved as they have. Male plants of this species need to be carefully selected to avoid a lot of laborious work, which means one will need to do a lot of testing of F1 seed made from a particular male to verify if the sex linked traits are real or not. Males that auto flower irrespective of daylight hours are normally eliminated to insure against hermaphroditism or unwanted male traits. Males that flower too quickly or too tall are also not the best for breeding since they put too much energy into fiber production which is not the trait one is looking for in a medicinal plant. Males that have large hollow main stems are sought out rather than males that are more pith-filled stems - the main reason are that large hollow stemmed males are better THC producers than other plants. Males that produce tight floral clusters rather than airy sparse floral clusters are usually better to breed with. Finally if you rub your fingers against the stem of a developing male and are able to get strong odors or aromas (terpines) you will be advised to use these males as trichrome production and flavor are directly related to plants that produce odors early on. There are several other traits to look for in a male but these are rather advanced and need microscope help which is not really relevant for the hobby grower/breeder.

Damn rzza shit look awesome. I made some quick gumby has a few days ago which is lower quality due to having plant material though very small it's in there.
Pop'd 4 of 6 sour kush beans and was surprised to see the tap root in less than 12 hours. They went into dirt this morning and at this rate should be out of soil tomar or the following day.
Hic have you tried germing in strait water? I place my seeds in bottled water and let them soak usually it only takes over nite for them to pop. They float until the crack then they sink once they sink you place them directly in dirt. This way you can also remove bad seeds before you waste time on them. I've so heard from a few breeders that say the wet paper germ isn't good because the tap root is stressed by the light and dry air instead of being in soil asa it pops. I don't know if it's true and I know tons of ppl use this technique everyday just a tid bit to think about.
Hic what is your goal to reach with the hybrid your creating? If you don't mind. What are you trying to create or get out of the parents? Like what do you want to bring to Michigan basicly?
I want to bring Michigan it's own version of the famed kushes which I found out OG is really NOT a kush at all. It's actuly a heavy sativa kush is 100% indica so it's strange they put kush on the end of it. But yea I'm going to find a male out of the deadhead og which is as close to the 91' chemdawg as I'll get to for a bit. But I plan to find a good fem and male out of the F2 gene pool and backcross both of them with the mom and dad. Then find another female from the dads new F1 and male from the moms new F1 then cross these. Once agian start the process of selection into the F2 and then backcross with the mom/dad whichever has the traits I want until stablized and hopefully this crazy process will give me something nobody has thought of or seen yet.
My goal is going to be a good yielding OG cross with intense flavor and good anti anxiety high(coming from sour kush). Something with dense golfball nuggets. Something coated in resin. I want a unique flavor and smell something that will be unique to Michigan. High quality medical strain that even a newer smoker can enjoy without being put to sleep, and a vet smoker will still be wowed.
I also plan to do this 100% VEGANICLY 1 step up from organic from all the research I've done stemming from Kyle kushmans article in hightimes, I've found this method to produce the most punjent best tasting clean smoke on earth. Really if you look into it it makes sense, there's no flushing because there's no chelated salts, there's no ph balancing because the soil does it on it's own. After Xmas I plan to do my first run of veganic plants with the sour kush and that will be my comeback thread lol!

KB as to answer the question "what to bring to michigan" I quess I did not understand the question earlier. I did not understand what you were asking me until about 2PM
I would be in my little hole right now you know, just smoking my outdoor dope, selling bags to the few, I probly would not even be on this RIU forum.. had I not seen how horrible the marijuana community had become..
I want to bring to michigan " the ability for all whom want to grow - GROW" I have recently fallen under the protection of michigan state law, as to now I am a legal caregiver. Believe it or not I am going to change the world around me with the law.
I am in the process for building plans for " my playground" this establishment will be unlike all others, I will not go into detail as to much but I will say a room will be built for all MM patients to come for free and learn how to grow, I will help all who want to help themselves, and so much more- thus freaking out all those MF's that try to sell dope for $300 an ounce.
I want to grow my own strains, I will keep some pure. Like that jillybean "unique buzz". I want to wow the crowd more then I have already.. " I am a legend around here you know" just no one knows my name.lol For michigan growers have had to live in the caves until now.. am I not correct.
KB at some point in time we will meet..
