Hi chaps, sorry I've not been about but I've not had a good year healthwise and had an ickle bothersome cerebral stroke in that I woke up blind on my right hand side one day and developed some short term memory problems but that's the not so hot news but the
good news is I've had a bit of a genetic breakthrough with the Exodus Cheese in that I had a Cheese clone grow out as a perfect male (see pic) and was used to dust sister Cheese clones which I originally thought might be femmed but no, the resultant progeny was a normal male/female cannabis population the females of which were
all exactly in taste and high just like the original clone mum.:hubba:
I've grown out 21 girls so far and all have been 'The Cheese' just like Momma and have many independent tests grows happening on various forums. I've also run several blind taste tests with seasoned UK Cheeseheads with 3 of my pheno's alongside bud from the clone which was grown alongside in identical conditions and I'm pleased to say my baby passed with flying colours.
So that's what I've been doing and have formed a partnership and a new seed company which will be going online within weeks and is well under construction. I'll not mention the names as that's advertising and I'm sure a forum no no but hey, ya asked and I'm very fired up about my new venture.
This business with the sex reversal I've not gotten to the bottom of yet but I've one other documented occurrence of this on a cannabis forum and have written to university based geneticists and picked the brains of all the big breeder folk on forums who are particularly strong on their knowledge of genetics but have yet to discover the genetic mechanism involved here?
I'll be writing to Paulo Ranello about this and he's the author of Advanced Hemp Research, a copy of which I have. I've also been doing Silver Thiosulphate chemical sex reversal with the Cheese but have twice failed to produce fems although I've had nana's busting out all over there was no viable pollen so more work needed there in terms of educating myself re correct dosage regimes.
But the main thing is continued work on my strain which is rather grandly now called Cheese#1 (it was Exodus#1) and have made sales under that name and have applied for proper trade mark registration.
So I've done an open pollination of 6 males x 13 females for initial stock and have
totally shut my growroom down at this address for the first time in 14 years (I'll make a movie called Silence of the Fans, narf narf!
) and am making enquiries about moving to Gran Canaria or Czechoslovakia as it's liberalising fast other there and being originally Polish would fit into the culture probably quite seamlessly?
But I've had friendly overtures from Breeders and growers already in Spain and Gran Canaria offering help and assistance
andeasy to rent low cost properties.
So I seem to have nailed it, cracked the Cheese code if ya like and with pheno's 50% more than the original mum,cor, look at me prattling on, I'll try get some pics up in a bit.
