What's the rub smell on em?Ghost bastards are doing good. I'm gonna take cuts tomorrow or the next day and then give them new shoes. I'll probably flip them in a few days or so. View attachment 6038
I just havnt got around to naming them.@Heisenbeans i notice some of the crosses have names already and some do not.
Is there a plan to name them or are you waiting for feedback or shit to help make the decision ?

Yes and not impressed. I have yet to be even a little intrigued by the mac 1 and if it doesnt taste good whats the point. My pheno of lvtk blows any pic of mac away in terms of visible resin production. So Im also lost as to why folks are so wet on it. Plus it doesnt even breed well.Have U seen @G gnome 's MAC cut?
Have you ever tried letting a plant reverse on it's own by keeping it in flower for a few extra months? That was one old school way of reversing and when it worked it put off some decent pollen that was viable. The more Sativa in the plant the more likely it would work though, so it probably wouldn't work on the Mac but it might on the Cory. Guys would start seeds on 12/12 from day one and just let them stay in their grow rooms until they freaked out on their own. Probably not worth your time considering how long it can take, but I thought I'd suggest it.Super frustrated the corey wouldnt put out alot of good pollen reversed.
Variety is the spice of lifeI've seen the pics but haven't heard much about the smoke. What does the fabled and super hyped MAC taste like?
Either way...the things we all like that are different make this game so much fun. Some like the Chems...some like the fruits. I've been in both camps. Ran lotsa Chem/OG/etc for years so now that I'm doing my own thing and not growing for a market I'm heading into the fruity terps far more right now. (some lemon in there but minimal after all the "OG' mish mash of the last decade+) It's hard to beat (IMO) those fruity terps in the rosin offerings.
but it's all good....and we are fortunate to have such selection placed before us...even if it does sometimes come with clowns/characters/egos.... LOL.
NO. If a plant reverses on its own than it has hermie tendancy. They will most likely pass it on. Besides by time a plant has late stage balls i would assume the pollen would be little if any. That type of breeding is what brings so many hermie tendencies into the cannabis world. breeders to lazy to properly reverse a plant and waiting around on volunteer ball sacks to make a few fems.Have you ever tried letting a plant reverse on it's own by keeping it in flower for a few extra months?

Ps. I'm not big on white widow either, it never did much for me really, it looked fantastic and knocked you out the first few times you tried it, but after a very short while it became very boring smoke, just kinda blah with a mild funky taste and smell and unless you were one of the guys running a sea of green operation it was a lousy producer.
A plant that stresses out and produces hermies is a problem, but I've never seen good solid strains left late to produce hermies as offsrping, not once. What fucks up and creates hermies is crossing hermies to hermies or from just using plants that stress out easy and herm. By the way, you can look at almost every strain that stresses easy and you will find that somewhere along the line "Bagseed" is involved, in other words it's already got hermie in it, so you are essentially crossing hermies to hemies if you use plants that freak easy.NO.

The one smells like coffee. And it had some twisted leaves early on so I'm thinking the "daddy" was the glue. The one on the right just has a pretty generic weed smell.What's the rub smell on em?
Thanks for the take. I kinda figured as much. I'm sure there are standout phenos as there are in most strains... but when the hype is laid on THAT thick it's usually cause for suspect. Over the years I've ran a bunch elite cuts and many were good...for sure...but not all THAT special. Folks just clamored for em and talked about em so much they hung around and got passed around mucho. "Abusive" OG comes to mind right off. Just a plant...hyped to shit...when it shouldn't have really ever been shared (IMO).Honestly man its 100 percent hype.The smell is like a strong perfume. reminds me of the smell of white widow.
Super abnoxious. Not even pleasant really. Like roadkill thats been sprayed with lysol. The stone is decent and potent but not over the top like some of the others i have., So far of all the cuts i have the stardawg Corey is KING. The high last for hrs. I dont understand why it never got the attention it deserved or maybe it was hard to find? Not sure but Its the strongest smelling , PURE CHEM smell with a touch of skunk but it travels FAR.
Everthing else comes in close seconds like the cake and others. Super frustrated the corey wouldnt put out alot of good pollen reversed.
Your wrong man. CS doesnt stress the plant. It blocks the ethelyne that makes a female a female forcing it to produce Male flowers because nature says that it has to flower.A plant that stresses out and produces hermies is a problem, but I've never seen good solid strains left late to produce hermies as offsrping, not once.

Letting a plant go through it's entire life cycle without pollination is not the same as breeding from a plant that freaks at the slightest light leak and it does not produce the same results. I also wouldn't say that it's lazy, in fact it's one of the harder, more time consuming and responsible ways to breed. I'm not blaming you for not wanting to try it, it doesn't produce as much pollen and it does take a long time but you shouldn't say that it's lazy or irresponsible. And it might be a solution for you with plants that don't put off good pollen your way.
Ps. I know plenty of people who say that creating ANY FEM is irresponsible and lazy. But one of High Times flower of the year plants was a FEM created with late stage pollen in exactly the way I suggest here. Their S1's do not hermie, their crosses with other hermies get 25% hermies and that is exactly what is to be expected no matter how responsible you are.
Not to rant, I just don't want people thinking that late stage pollen is the same as getting pollen from a light leaker because it's not. We are creating stress when we create FEMS, it doesn't matter if we use a chemical solution to do it or by fucking with it in any other way, it's still creating a stress on the plant that makes it freak out and produce pollen. In nature the late stage pollen is it's natural way of creating offspring when no male is around to do the job.
So topping and bending will make them hermie? Naw man its not the stress that causes it, Its the silver that blocks ethylene , ethylene is like estrogen to females, It makes them female. If a plant hermies voluntarily Than that is considered a genetic trait. It can pass that on the same way they pass on potency, Trich coverage, smell profiles and everything else. Dont want hermie offspring than dont use plants that throw balls for any reason other than ethylene block. shit like the glue and ECSD are from accidental hermies., so they will always carry the hermie circus with them, Thats why i dont make ECSD X GG4 crosses.If you're forcing the plant to do something other than what it wants to do, you're stressing it.
