Crab Buds

[KGB]

I am sure most people don’t understand what “crab apples” are so let me explain. You have to plant a thousand apple trees from seed to find a viable apple strain which is you you only see like 8 or 10 strains for sale in a supermarket. The winning strains are all clones from the original.

I believe cannabis is the same which is why clones produce the best overall. People plant 50-100 seeds of a specific cannabis strain to find “the one”

So every seed planted the best you can hope for is to max the genetics of that seed which probably will not be like the 1 in 100

Does this sound about right?

I am so on the same page with you.
Coming from a breeder of hunting dogs, beagles and coonhounds, I have often wondered why you can breed a certain male to a certain female and get an outstanding litter of pups, yet you can breed the same male to the same female a year later and get a litter of duds.
Also, like cannabis, an accidental breeding occurs, and you get a whole litter full of world beaters.
How can someone breed top genetics for years, yet never find a C99, Sour Diesel, or a Chem 91, which were all accidental?
Like Ole’ Forest said, seeds are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get.

That my friend id why I am growing out all of my accidental seeds. All the strains I grew for the spring/summer photo grows were great. So when C99 got the entire crop, I was kind of happy. The sour vengeance was a very hearty plant handled pests, wind, monsoon rains, even pea sized hale a few times. She was a trooper. The weed is awesome. I hope her babies got her vigor and sll the special stuff from both parents.

This is the original White Wedding
(The WhitexRunaway Bride #3)
That was pretty good smoke.
As I have said, and I understand the popular outlook on it, this plant and a Tremolo (MimosaxTriple Lemon) hermed hard on me. I kept the seeds, and popped one, just one, a while back.

Which is this plant right here.
As I sit here, watching for deer, I am really smoking this, for the first time.
This is definitely better than the parent plant.
A lot better.
Actually, in the length of time it took me to type this, I am noticeably higher.
I may have to rethink my top 4.

I look at new seed as absolute new life. Ya just dunno what your gonna get. Genetics can get weird or sometimes blow your mind. Every seed is a individual just like us.

I think clones out produce seed because a clone, once rooted, is a fully mature plant ready to go. I often rerun a exceptional plant found in a seed run. I've been playing with air layering lately. So I'm rooting plants while they flower. Harvest the clones at the end. Somethin like that..lol Trying 1 so far. Damn I'm high.

I prefer seed. I watched a company grow 50 and they picked the best to be a mother plant and just supply clones until they no longer grow that strain. It just produced the best of the 50. As a single seed guy I have no idea which of the “50” I am going to get but they are all awesome for me so do I care. Not at all

Just pointing it out
