I bare a scar or two on my knuckles
Been into wrenching on cars with pops since I was in the single digits and rebuilding classics for about 15 yrs or so. Not so much since the heart failure....now I just drive em.

Love it. The cars and the wrenching experience. Not the heart failure man you good now tho?

ya, Im doing ok. Limited on what I can do that used to be deemed "normal". My mind says "fuck ya", but my body says "hold up a minute buddy" lol.
Seems you got some experience yourself. Hell, anymore its like HP comes from tuners. The powers already there....just throttled down from factory til you unlock it with an aftermarket tuner.

Gotcha. I feel ya, even though I've never experienced something as hardcore as that. Close though, and was hospitalized for a week earlier this year, but better now.
Yes I have a bit of 'sperience nothing now though. I hear ya on the tuners. All of that shit is governor'd like a MF then you do some coding on the computer and wtf? There are always hacks on everything. Some better than others. Like putting a screw on a vacuum secondary Holley to get a double pumper effect lol. Taking a hacksaw to your autolite spark plugs to make that "V" like the splitfires had for the double arc spark. Pulling a 3.91 positrac 8-3/4" pumpkin rear end from a dodge van and swapping that in place of a 3.23 single axle for an instant half second+ off your 1/4 mile time (and another 1000 rpms lol, worse gas mileage on highway vs city, worth it back then). Good times

No doubt theres some money to be made in that area of the weed game. In my particular case, the returns on the pollen would need to be quite significant (likely considered overpriced by many) considering how meticulous I have to be for such little product in the end. Might be a whole other scenario for those guys who arent "small batch".

Think about this:
how valuable would it be to 'small batch' seed makers to be able to order custom made pollen from your crosses while you concentrate on 2 to 4 times as many cloned pollen receivers? Kind of like Ford and GM farming out their headrests to a small assembly shop in Xxxxxx, Xx.

You'd essential be expanding production by 200 to 400 % by eliminating the process of housing and maintaining male or reversed plants. The maker obviously couldn't supply an open market, but could contract as many clients as they can supply. Being an exclusive provider also drives up $$ value until others fill the niche.

If I didn't smoke a lot of weed, and especially if I didn't smoke weed at all, I'm fairly certain I could create a very successful grow service strictly in pollen fulfillment.

I see what you are saying. In favor of your post, (since were using autos for analogies) there are hand built autos that fetch HUGE money and have waiting lists because they can only produce so many per year....and those lists are full well into 2024. No denying it would be beneficial for both parties, but I dont see it being more beneficial for the seller than it is for the buyer in regards to reversed pollen. In the case of ramping up production, you would need to with such small returns in terms of collecting pollen to distribute. Prices that the pollen would fetch will need to be quite high for someone to find it beneficial to produce.

Defining 'beneficial' is the key here. Providing an above average and livable income while not existing in 'bossville' is my working definition here.

Heard that brother.

Viability of the pollen over time would be a major factor also. Stored properly, seeds will last 30+ years...pollen maybe 6 months if that. Ship pollen in the hot summer and it may even be dead on arrival.

Could ship it like insulin with a insulated box and some freezy packs

Orange Julius F1 (Tall orange drink/skunk pheno) @ 30 days from flip to 12/12
This one gets its structure and light green leaves from the Mothers Milk. Aside from that its all artificial orange drink and Skunk spray on the nose.
This is the taller plant that is the "heavier" of the 2 phenos. This pheno also has a bit more sugar leaf in the bud ratio as well compared to the other pheno.


Orange Julius F1 (Short fruit punch pheno) @ 30 days from flip to 12/12
This pheno is quite short and all of the side branching is as tall as the main top. It looks like it was trained/topped, but it wasnt. It just grew this way naturally. The smells on this one are 100% mouth watering fruit punch and she is super sticky and frosty. Not as good of a producer as the tall pheno, but the terps make up for where this one may fall short in weight. Between the 2 phenos, this one is my favorite. On top of smells alone, you can see the leaves are much darker on this pheno showing heavy influence from the Mimosa over the Mothers Milk.


Monkey Juice BX1 @ 30 days from flip to 12/12 (GG#4 leaning pheno)
In choosing a short fruity pheno from an original female Monkey Juice that was reversed & backcrossed to the original GG4 momma, I believe I was able to tame the stretch that the Glue is notorious for, but without sacrificing the qualities of the strain. Though I wouldnt consider this a "fruity strain", its definitely got a nice influence from the Mimosa that cuts the "fuel" smell a bit and allows some of the other genetics to shine through in the terpenes.

Had to go back and fix. Not sure why the pics didnt work in my last post?

Theres been a couple ppl that found some nice studs in their SCJ's but havent heard too much from it in regards to what the pollen was used for. Looking forward to seeing what you you get from those!

I had a beautiful stud.Short,stout stem,nice structure and branching,had a lovely nose and early tricks. Had no room for him at the time & didn't grab any jizz.

The only method I've tried so far is CS. It has always worked, so I havent strayed from that method -yet. lol
I do have some GA3 I ordered for stubborn 30 yr old seeds that I havent tried yet.

I have about 2000 seeds of some 47 year old Alcapulco Gold. I have tried to pop about 150 without GA3 with no luck. Gonna try out the Gibberellic now. Keeping my fingers crossed. These were gifted to me from a 70 year old stoner lady circa 1972

Its gonna be a minute before I can get to mine now with so much stuff going on already. I hope you can get some results with yours. It would be great to see a resurrection of some old strains like that.

Monkey Juice @ day 34
Smells just like The GG#4 momma so far. Height has definitely been affected by the Mimosa (in a good way). Its like GG#4 but without all the uncontrollable stretch.



Citrus MILF @ day 21 (not my grow)
Grown hydroponically in a F&D with just Mega Crop and Ca/Mg under 600W of led lighting. No topping/pruning etc.
I was able to rub on some of the flowers while there today. They smell just like lemon Pledge furniture polish. I've only seen this 1 pheno out of a handfull of different grows. I'd gamble to say the lemon pledge terps will be as common as the structure, large serrated leaves and overall looks with this one.

You can try using alittle cardboard matchbox with acouple pieces of course sandpaper in it, add seeds and shake the hell outta it for awhile. The sandpaper should wear down the seed shell alittle and strach it up atad, which ''might'' help it crack easier?

Just my 2 cents... I've grown seeds that were somewhere about 35 years old like that.. I had no germination before I did this and after,, I did get afew seeds to crack....

GL with them

GOOD LUCK
I got some old seeds to sprout but getting them to grow is another story
best results for me was to soak seeds in peroxide water for 24 hours
then soak them in ga3 till you see tap root good luck
every old seed that did push up out of dirt never developed top main
they just looked mutaded with little to no growth this is just my experience with GA3

Thanks allot. I will try that

Looking nice. My order from you should be here in next day or so. Can't wait to grow that Monkey Juice. The freebies sound terrific also. Sin City Juice should be fun
