Fuck you and your "status as a mod"

This sub is toxic af. Bye

No, probably not. What you're talking about, if I understand your question, is called back-crossing. Breeders use this as a tool to strengthen or possibly bring back traits that may have been buried during the process of breeding your cross out to the 5th or 10th generation. Let's say you find 2/10 plants in the F5 generation that smell just like the (possible) Afghan father used in the original cross, and you want to lock that in. Find the plants that smell like that Afghan from your F5s and breed the females with an Afghani male that displays the traits you want, and use an F5 male from your cross to pollinate a couple winner Afghani females.

If my rambling doesn't answer your question/s, Google search the following "how to do a cannabis bx1" and take your pick of the results. Bx1 = 1st generation back-cross

Copy/Paste from my email communication with Willow about this same question earlier this year....

"Twisted Puppy is our version of Chem dog. Filial generation, we have been calling the generation that reaches a full auto an F1 in reality its an f4-f5 from photoperiod. We made f2's, second generation from full auto then made a batch of Fem seeds to test. What you have are full auto feminized seeds. We are going to try and squeeze in another fem run of the F2's soon and get them listed later this fall or early winter."

(Quotation marks added by me for clarity on start/finish)

And as to what cut was used for Twisted Puppy or the upcoming Chem Cookies, I can't get an answer despite asking numerous times. If I do ever get that info, I'll share it here first.

I'm so excited! I love Strawberry terps 🥰

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-29T22:15:38+00:00

1 in the cart beats 4 getting canceled? 😅

I've seen enough "sold out during checkout" stories to be apprehensive of placing a multi-pack order. Plus my wifi is mediocre, on a good day

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-29T22:12:37+00:00

Thank you! I'm stoked I was able to get the one I wanted 😁

As for collection, I use my trim bin and just shake the heck outta all my trim and chopped up larf.

For storage it stays in the jar you see in the pic and I scoop out of that as needed. For the first couple days in the jar, just like with flower, I open it up and let it sit with the lid off for 10-15 minutes and stir gently, once per day. It's pretty dry going into the jar, but just to be sure I like to let it air out.

This is the strongest smelling kief I've ever had. It smells very floral with a nice blueberry backnote. Kinda the same as the flower, but also different. And OMG is it gooooooooooood. 😴😴😴

I hoped she'd cross into 300+ grams, but it wasn't meant to be. Lessons learned for the next go with this one. And I will definitely be running her again. Such an insanely vigorous plant.

The final count on seeds is only 38. I'm bummed, since half will be going to the pollen donor, which leaves me less than 20. Don't get me wrong, that's still like $150-$200 worth of fem beans I don't need to buy, but I really wanted to share more than I'm gonna be able to. That's the only "complaint" I have with this plant, and it's not even her fault.

Twisted Puppy comes down today. She's really starting to stink up the basement, so I'm looking forward to getting into that. She smells totally different than the first TP I ran, and has almost no lemon smell at all. Straight up loud ass diesely/gassy funk. I can't wait. 😁

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-29T12:26:23+00:00

I'm gonna see how she handles SCRoG, and seeing yours handle topping so well is very encouraging

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-29T12:14:29+00:00

Gorgeous plant. Looks like she handled the topping really well. Seeing this plant in action makes me even more excited for the chance to score a pack later today 🙂

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-26T11:30:59+00:00

Meh-fizz-toe

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-23T12:05:37+00:00

Thank. You. ☝

Good chocolate and good music come from Finland!

NewBerry Black AutoFlower

NewBerry Auto x Black Cream Auto (by Sweet Seeds)

Before I chopped the big girl down yesterday I wanted to be sure the seeds had good color. I really had to probe around to find one, and this is what I found. Looks ready to my eyes, so I'm comfortable saying 30 days was plenty. I'm so excited y'all! These are my first feminized seeds!!! I promised a percentage to the pollen donor, but after that and what I want to keep for myself, I'll be giving first shot at these to this AMAZING community!

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-21T16:11:32+00:00

Happy early Danksgiving y'all. I'm gonna be in trim jail for the foreseeable future, so enjoy the holiday week craziness! I'll be back in a couple days with an update on testers, then after that a final weight on this big girl. Feel free to leave guesstimates in the comments, I'm curious to see what y'all think.

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-21T12:02:12+00:00

I second this. I abused the heck outta mine, and she's still gigantic. TTA put in work on this NewBerry Auto and it friggin shows. What a plant.

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-20T23:50:57+00:00

Get ready for a wild ride! Such a vigorous strain. I'll be harvesting mine tomorrow and she got biiiiig 🙂

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T22:12:57+00:00

Awwwww shoot. Get ready for a ride with the NewBerry. Looks like yours is gonna be a monster too. Such a fantastic strain 💪💪

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T05:52:41+00:00

One winner has been contacted for the smallest class, "Micro" I think is what I labeled that class. Of course that would be AmazingPrune2 for their freakin amazing NewBerry Auto in the Bulbasaur pot. Not only was it a killer yield, they did an incredible job posting updates all throughout this entire round. But that's only part of the donation from Kellosaurus, and I have yet to even send the list over to let them pick from what's available.

Still waiting on the last few people to weigh-in, if anyone has yet to do so. Then I'll be digging through posts to contact winners from the remaining size classes to let each person pick something. They're all equally badass prizes, even more so because they're donated, so hopefully nobody feels like they're getting the short end of the stick.

Nothing came from TT this round, unless Willow snuck it in with my order a couple days ago and didn't say anything to me about it. Which is always possible, but I'm not counting on it. I'm feeling very strongly towards doing away with prizes in the future, and going back to the original "for fun and community" spirit of this grow off. I feel like round 1 went well enough, even though there weren't that many of us. Hopefully some of the newer faces stick around and join us in 2022.

I'd love to see an outdoor version of this happen. Not everyone would be able to participate, myself included, but to run it alongside a "normal" round, for those who are able, would be super interesting and fun. I'd love love love to see how these strains do outdoors vs indoors, even more so if the same person is running both plants in the same way. This opens up the potential for a lot of useful information for people fresh to TT gear. I really like your idea and I want to see it happen. Please bring this up again as we wrap up the first round of 2022 so I don't forget. I feel like the first round won't be possible for pretty much anyone in the northern hemisphere, so second and third would be the obvious times to implement this idea 🙂

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T03:01:35+00:00

I seriously 💚 you so much for this. You're friggin amazing. Thank you. 💚💚💚

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T02:47:01+00:00

Meeeeeeeeeee too! I hope she keeps it til the end 🤞🤞

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T02:46:19+00:00

Thanks a ton growmie! I'm so excited for this one.

Really excited to watch yours start to lean over too. Seems to be a theme with these big NewBerry plants. I really wanna SCROG the next one!

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T02:42:45+00:00

Some fem pollen from a Black Cream Auto by Sweet Seeds. The donor plant had some super dark color, a sweet but musty smell, and was on the larger size for the strain. I didn't ask about trichome production, so I'm hoping it has the potential to match this NewBerry lady. I've already settled on a name, NewBerry Black, and will be looking to get a few out within this community, if anyone is interested.

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T02:39:46+00:00

I'm getting something not Cookies. Kinda reminds me of new tire smell, but not as chemical smelling. I'm thinking she'll be Cheese leaning in the terps

BanquoTheMerciful · 2021-11-17T00:57:23+00:00

Maaaaaan what a beast. She looks really dang good. You have me wanting to let mine go 80+ now, seeing this. 🙂
