TGA Strains Stable?

Its my understanding that "Joey Weed" is defunct.



Again, to be clear here, how stable F2 plants are depends entirely on the genetics of the parent strains.

If you're crossing polyhybrid F1s, you're going to get a gazillion phenotypes in the F2.

But if you're crossing two plants from the same inbred line then the F1s, F2s, F3s, etc, should all be substantially similar to each other.

So if you made your F2 by starting with someone else's stabilized or mostly stable line, then crossing two plants to make seeds, you may see very little phenotype variety in the F2.

Also, if your F2 is a backcross of an F1 and a parent, or another cross between plants that already have highly similar genetics, then you may also see a relatively limited number of phenotypes.

Just another grower of TGA gear with my observations. I grew out 10 Vortex and 5 Jilly Bean. 100% Germ, and ended up with 53% female: 5 female Vortex and 3 female Jilly Bean.

I'm still working on my grow room, so there have been numerous 'light leak' events. All the 'walls' of my grow room can open, and there are still some gaps for light to get in. The space is in the basement, but light from the basement windows and occasionally a light left on in the basement (lame on my part) has leaked into the room. I am starting the 6th week of my grow and have experienced NO male flowers.

I will say that there has been tremendous variation in the phenos. Two of the Vortex and one of the Jilly Bean are very tall and leggy with huge internodal distance and poor yeild. Two of the Vortex and Two of the Jilly Bean are outstanding plants, frosty with trichs, lots of branching and good to very good yeilds (so far). The rest of the plants are so-so, with either long internodes, fair yeilds, or moderate trich development. Of course nothing has been harvested, so some of the 'so-so' plants might end up producing a fabulous flavor or high.

In summary I have no hermie issues (when I was almost asking for trouble), but neither strain is consistent at all. I am just fine with this, since I'm just looking for a couple of mothers anyway, and a couple of the plants look very good so far. I would not recommend growing from seed for production, but there is certainly dank to be had. Check my sig to see pictures of a few of the best plants. Note that this is a sloppy grow-- I'd usually go with a scrog, but can't do that until I find my mothers.

Both of my DNA Lemon Skunk (fems) are solid plants. One of them is a tall beast, but it still has lots of trichs and will be producing a good yeild. The other is just a beautiful plant, very lush and frosty.

notice u didnt say dna, thseeds, greenhouse seeds, serious seeds, cali connection, big buddah nor barney's. also mr. nice seeds, sensi nor dutch passion.......i wonder y none of those companies never released a tga cross....lol. i'll tell u y.....low potency, unstable genetics and nobody likes subcool. tga is the greenhouse of north america....no real seed company would use their genetics.

every one of those breeders suck balls except for dna genetics. and they dont use his shit because they have there own strains there working with which i would say are on opposite sides of the flavor scale, with dna and subcool anyway wouldnt bother with any of the others.. and my querkle didnt hermie on me and is super frosty the lemon pheno so its staying around

The more you talk the more it sounds like you just want to bash sub....
Check hovering's threads and see his testing done on tga strains... low potency? come on man..
I have only grown out 2 tga strains, and currently have my third in flower, none of which hermied and the first 2 were came out pretty potent/tasty.
I've had the pleasure of smoking dq, grown by someone better than me, and it had to be some of the dankest stuff i've gotten my hands on..

If you dont like unstable phenotype f2's, don't buy em. Is that not simple enough?

First I in no way support or even like TGA/Subcool, but ignorance is bliss. One of the best "small time" breeders and one of his best 2 strains "Lifesaver and LSD" use Jacks Cleaner as a parent. Don't preach if you don't know :)

his genetics are the real deal, people are just mad he doesn't take his f1's and bx the best phenotypes or make more stable f2's/f3's/f4's aside from his spacequeen/jill f2's and spacebomb, i guess Pandora's box is a Space Dude Bx, since he used it to make JTR and then used it on a jtr fem to make Pandora's box, and it is more stable imo.
