cannabis breeding project

Cannabis

Shelved since 2019 is my cannabis breeding project. A lot of my side projects had to be out on the back burner as i was focused on growing lots of produce for market. This year has me backed off from that and getting back to what made me love farming in the beginning. Trial and error and learning, reading and research.

For me, this is just for fun and curiosity. And a bit of science. Admittedly this project is developing a strain for a grower not a smoker. Meaning i choose plants for appearance and aroma while growing. I still dry the flower and pass it around for review to testers, but have found mostly that no one is a good tester for feedback, as i would like. It either gets them high as fuck and is good or doesn’t and it sucks. Very few people will rate the flavour profile and give nuances and the such. Good feedback on a certain strain grown has been when everyone wants to get more or buy a bunch its usually an indicator of a win. With my current jack cheese strain which is F1 currently i gave out seeds to be grown in 2020 and everyone wanted more seeds for 2021 which i declined.

Jack cheese is a cross between Jack the Ripper which i have grown out and picked winners from and blue cheese which is the new addition.

Plant 1 is Jack the Ripper originally from sub cool seeds. Ive grown this out and saved seed multiple times. My packet says F4 on it, meaning its been grown out and back crossed 4 times by me. It’s been a very stable plant for me. Very frosty, great smell. You’ll see from the genetic breakdown that there is a lot going on with JTR(jack the ripper) and the potential for underlying traits to come through is a lot
