My first question is, is it better to begin with collected seeds of landrace strains when beginning a breeding program or to begin with proven cross-strains ?
Second question is, when breeding, is the ease of growing in a closet, in as little time the most concern or the best, effective strains regardless of flower times and/or environmental conditions?
I guess in summing up my questions I'll ask, do you feel the current seed banks are only concentrating on cashing in on the marketing of new-named seeds for profit or are they actually concerned with creating hybrids which offer the best blend of characteristics?

[quote=Richard Owl Mirror;123196]Hello, I would be very interested if you could discuss the problems and benefits of breeding marijuana.

Not for myself my goal is simple to put into seed form as close as possible my favorite clones cuts or lines of cannabis. Many breeders are now focusing on the quick sale of feminized seeds but its a marketing ploy IMO if you leave out the male your leaving out a very important componat me and Shanti agree on this. I parted with Treating Yourself over this as I feel fem seeds rip of the medical grower.
I do not let the public want drive me but work to save many strains or even improve them.
I guess in summing up my questions I'll ask, do you feel the current seed banks are only concentrating on cashing in on the marketing of new-named seeds for profit or are they actually concerned with creating hybrids which offer the best blend of characteristics?
I think 98% of all seed makers are driven by profits but there are a few that simply want to known as a positive influence on breeding over all.
I wanted a line of Cannabis seeds that actually performed as there descriptions say and to offer a wide range of flavors focusing on the following
Grape
Cherry
Orange
Lemon
Mango
Peaches
Watermellon
Berry
Lavender
Our newest work is developing a strain that resist mildew as it has become such a problem and I am happy to say Chernobyl is extremely resistant to mildew and taste like Limes another fruit flavor.

[ female clone 2 male/hermie ] a higher potassium concentration will give more males. a lower humidity will give more males. a higher temperature will give more males. more red light will give more males. Longer hours of light will give more males.
HPS (high pressure sodium light) produces red-orange light.
While it is common practice to use CFL or MH in the 5000K (blue spectrum) during the vegetation stage. Substituting these with a bulb that outputs more red light, ( Red spectrum - 2700k )naturally this will increase a higher room temperature. Increasing the light cycle to 22-24 hours would provide the requirement for Longer hours of light.
Setting up a dehumidifier in the area will serve to lower the humidity.
By providing the above environment and feeding the seedling a higher potassium concentration, this experiment should turn a female clone, male.

Seems more like parlor tricks in gaining an upper-hand over the competition.
I'm also curious as to how you can claim " I do not let the public want drive me" yet, are attempting to breed for flavored budsicles ? Isn't that catering to public demand ?
Obviously you have a long history and experience in this field yet, everything you've presented here reeks of Salesmanship for your line of products and leaves little in the way for true biological propagation of a unique plant that is far older than the human race.
Answer me this, how will flavored marijuana assist Medicinal marijuana patients?
Do these flavors add to the THC, CBD content of the final product?

I don't know or speak for Sub...but I think he's speaking towards keying in on specific plants with natural terpenes (flavors) that are similar to the fruits he listed.... such as the fabled "Blueberry" or "Cherry Slyder"....both of which have a hint of the taste of the fruit in their name that comes from the genetics within the plant..not external or artifical "flavorings". (a whole 'nother topic/argument/opinion)  it's all good...especially when you share the final product with a fellow patient...

The IBls people promote to me aren't close to the hybrids already created I prefer to work with these lines and do the selections I want.
How would you feel about this technique if it worked to perfection?
Brillant stuff takes many growers years to figure these things out
I'm uncertain how flavoring marijuana [which is not natural] is even remotely close to " a positive influence on breeding over all."
Seems more like parlor tricks in gaining an upper-hand over the competition. Its Called Selection and Mendel was its creator not me.
I'm also curious as to how you can claim " I do not let the public want drive me" yet, are attempting to breed for flavored budsicles ? Isn't that catering to public demand ?
To explain I recently used Chems Snodawg to create a hybrid called Space Dawg and we gave all 4000 seeds just because I can now others are selling this BX for 300 a pack that was my point I enjoy what I do and would continue to do so regardless if anyone grew my gear I think I have the best job in the world I grow pot, make new things from nature and get paid to write about it in Hightimes and Skunk its a pretty good gig
Obviously you have a long history and experience in this field yet, everything you've presented here reeks of Salesmanship for your line of products and leaves little in the way for true biological propagation of a unique plant that is far older than the human race.
Answer me this, how will flavored marijuana assist Medicinal marijuana patients? When you give all your f1's and thousands of amazing tyasting strains to them at no cost.
Do these flavors add to the THC, CBD content of the final product? | No But Ed has spent the last 10 years studing terpines I am not the only one that finds this intersting.
God flavored the Cannabis cuzz not me Its about selecting varieties that I love the taste of.
I have never had a potency concern but much commercial genetics taste terrible. I breed for my taste and what I like to smoke I did this for many many many years before I ever gave a seed away and long before any were sold.
Its obvious your trying to get a rise out of me unless your prepared to give something I have created a try then I cant began to explain what I do
Do you have a strain that you created on the cover of Big Book?
How about 4 Top ten awards?
We were just inducted into the Hightimes Seed Bank Hall of Fame maybe I actually know something you could learn.

Thanks Subcool for going into detail about your current strains. Like I said in my PM, I plan to try at least 2 of your strains. This site really appreciates you taking the time to pass on some of your knowledge. Your track record speaks for itself. I'm still trying to grow a fruit salad. Never been one for straight vanilla...I'm a tutti fruitti kinda gal!

Subcool im very excited that you have reached this site and we can see all your wonderful work. I have read many articles in my day and it is an honor to have your input here.
As for the flavors, my favorites that I've tried were called "JuicyFruit" - which tasted something like a pink (Watermelon) JollyRancher when I got it. Also "StrawberryCough" is delicious. Not sure if it really tastes like strawberries, but def fruity. I used to keep a collection of 10-20 jars of different strains that I collected over the whole year, then I would smoke them on 4/20. Most interesting was one named "Canadian Crystal" which tasted/smelled like a bouquet of flowers....and put me on my butt in 1 hit (which is rare for the amount i smoke).
Again, glad to have ya. :-)

I am very interested in getting some Jillybean, but am not clear on what to expect from it. I need pain relief and don't want to get knocked on my butt like pure indica's do. I need something fairly easy to grow that will ease anxiety. Oh, yeah, I am looking for something that tastes and smells orange.
Is Jillybean right for me?

Hey Subcool, don't know if its already been mentioned but was wondering which of your strains would be the best for producing the "Rick Simpson" type of cannabis oil? I suppose I'm asking which strain produces the best, with the most potent resins?
Any other considerations or insights you have on medical cannabis oil production?
peace, potpots

Potpots Ricks Oil is always interpreted wrong IMO people looking for high THC strains your looking for high CBD strains and in our like thats going to be Querkle.
