much love to BOG!

BOG if you are feeling overwhelmed to constantly produce some new killer strains then take a deep breath like i know you can do......

One reason your strains are the tightest in the land is the fact that once you stabilized all the killer traits you chose the most vigorous individuals to perpetuate them.....the choosing of vigorous individuals to perpetuate the specific set of traits is probably very tiresome indeed and might not be as fun as crossing plants to see what happens with the genetics.....i imagine the identification of new and different traits is what is most fun about being a breeder, but i could be wrong.....

anyway.....wouldn't it be nice if once you stabilized a particular variety and coerced it to express the quality that you demand you could then transfer that strain to "BOG's Quality Contrrol Unit" who are a group of cultivators who, under your supervision, select the most vigorous individuals to ensure that your new strain's specific phenotype is encapsulated in plants that are quick to clone and supremely vigorous in vegetative growth? Hopefully you would expect all growers to improve upon the seeds they are given but many clone, effectively halting the acceleration of vigor....not that i am anti-cloning or anything......but it is known that the telomeres involved in DNA replication are as old as the original mother plant and could contribute to errors in DNA replication......mind you i said this COULD happen......i know there are plenty of clones that are 20+years or so old and i have personally seen a Vietnamese clone brought back by a GI that was one of the most vigorous plants i have ever seen.....no genetic drift in that clone.....its sap was blood red i kid you not!

anyway i have gotten off topic.....

i am thankful that you have shared your genetic blessings with the community here....cannabis genetics flow like a river with many tributaries and wide spots and narrow rocky spots as well.....because of prohibition and governmental crackdowns on cannabis growers i believe the river has entered into a bottleneck.....but the community has banded together (just like IC website) and genetics from all over the globe are suddenly being shared with each other as different varieties which have been genetically isolated from one another are brought together in a single individual.....so in that regard there is hope for the future......

look inside yourself for the answer......

Breeding can be scientific or the way I do it but neither is guaranteed. :chin:

My dream is having a safe place to grow legally with a greenhouse and a couple good employees who love working herb. A dozen seed rooms and outdoor fields of green as far as the eye can see.

My dream is caregivers coming to tend their plots like at Eddy Lepps before the man came and ruined everything. The man is like your mother shaking you awake from a wet dream. :badday:

Hey BOG, thats a great dream friend....get urself over to Spain and you gotta an instant employee here mayte, ready to get a ride over with my pop at the 1st word(he drives a truck in spain...) lol.... Im a lazy bastard when it comes to chores (or anything that seems a chore) but i love doing anything gowing related lol..... shit Id work for free, just my lodgings and nourishment and pocket pennies( and buds of course hahahahaha)
Seriously though BOG, I aint voted because their isnt the option i would put...I say do whatever feels right to yiou right now. if you wanna concentrate on refining the current lines, then so be it, if you want to do obe a year, likewise...
we know you wont bring anythhing that aint worthy to the party so just know that we trust your judgement(or i do anyway lol)
All id say mate is whatever you do, do uit with the obvious love and enthusiasm that has been your (i hat to say gimmick as it sounds derogatory but im struggling for a better word, it isnt meant derogatory) gimmick.
whatever you do mate, ill enjoy the goodies that are in existence at the moment...
all the best for the future man, and as always,
Be lucky

There is lots of secluded land up here on Vancouver Island in the true North strong and free. I'll volenteer to work the herb in your greenhouse.

Peace

The problem is that when you get to big it isn't a family operation anymore. I don't want to get too big really.

I do want to improve my strains but I also want to create more. Fifteen strains is a strain.

I have no growers helpers other than my wife and son and his wife. We really don't want employees so we remain small.
Life star is a lifesaver x Sensi Star. It's finished and waiting for making it an IBL. It's very tasty with a bit of the up, saliva high. I recall the taste as quite lemony. So after the old LSD is done (growing now) another seed batch begins...

Please be patient and work to find the best clones of my strains. This is how you improve seeds, by selection. It is a tedious project but testers could send me a great clone if found and I might be able to make good use of them for better seeds so it's a good idea Guinea Pig. Bog

Old thread from back when I had only nine strains.

Right on, I just assumed it was an old strain that I missed out on, not trying to whine!!

I first grew Sensi Star in like 2001 have had a passion for her since. Recently got the old school indica 'stink up your veg room" pheno back in my stable. I think the SS is one of the most underrated strains.... mark me down for a tester if you need one more for the BX :)

I like that you're open to taking clones, why just rely on what you have space to run, it's good practice. I know man local breeders that do just that.

There is a problem with clones you don't have with seeds. Mold and mites!

We no longer allow outside clones into our rooms because we are clear of either at present and wish to keep it clean.

A clone has to go through a quarantine period and I still don't feel safe with others clones.

Don't send me a clone please. I just have to do it myself really. Bog

BOG! I didn't know you were on here. I got my start growing with soil from your posts on Overgrow. Lifesaver was one my earliest and favorite grows. Bogbubble and Sweet Cindy were amazing too.

I just finished my first harvest with Sensi Star a couple weeks ago. Some of the buds I've sampled have been top quality. I'd love to grow out a couple packs of Life Star.

Sense Star is a beautiful and bodacious bud that I found worthy back in 2004.

Life star turned out to be quite delicious and I have missed her.

Currently made new sour bubble seeds are ready...

Old LSD #2 is currently vegetating and new Strawberry seeds are also being made.

After those Lifestar is scheduled. Please be patient as I am working as fast as possible.

Thanks M314. ;). BushyOG
