Tip of the hat to ya...
I guess Im supposed to make a post here with in intro being a new member and all.
As the title indicates, Im from the Oregon Willamette Valley. Im a recent graduate from the College of Agriculture at Oregon State University with a Bachelors of Science in Integrated Horticultural Production. Im about 26 and been into the herbs since before I should have been. Naughty me eh! I am a strong enthusiast of horticulture in general and know quite a bit about more then just Cannabis plants. I have some other interests, but their reletivly minor in comparason to horticulture not to say that Im not a well rounded character who is generally well informed. Ive been in rehab for about 3 months and sober for about 4. Ive got some gnarly insomnia and have been on Lunesta and now Ambian for 3 months. Ill be lookin forward to some good sleepy time herb at the end of this month.
Anyways, Im really into this stuff and have been conducting some small ops for a medi card holder and consequently some crosses. I really need to find a way to expand my opperation, preferably legitimatly, in order to conduct more proper breeding techniques. I kinda have to stretch the rules already with more seedlings then Im the law mandates. I have to do a ~60% of my selection within the first couple weeks after germination (throw away about 30 seedlings), ~30% during veg (throw away about 12 plants), and ~10% after flowering (throw away about 3 crosses keep the other 3 if I grow out all the same line). I consider my selection procedure to be shotty at best- Im probably hitting the 10-30% mark on the curve when I grow out several lines in one grow.
I have been growing Great White Shark x unknown and Trinity Trainwreck x unknown crossed with some unknown chron male (referred to as G1) that I happen to have at the time. The original males for the Shark and Wreck were of high quality, but I cannot remember their names. I have recently added Arjans Haze #3 and Gypsies freeby Mazar to the mix. The Haze is a fem that I will be keeping as a clone and the Mazar is a male that I have crossed with some of my current lines including the Haze. The Mazar seemed to have put out a few pistils and appears to be producing a couple seeds. Im hoping theyre viable so that I may play around with their genes further.
I should continue this in the breeding section.
I like to do experiments with hormones as well, but this makes it difficult to get good yields cause Ive fucked up a few crops- Mostly with Indole Acetic Acid. Ive stopped using IAA now. But since Ive done that, Ive learned a few good tricks.
I supose Ill be on my way now. Im lookin forward to kicking it on the IC Mag forums. I swear, from my perusing, these forms are filled with some very high quality material. This is probably the or one of the best Cannabis forums on the net.
Good day
