Hi Everybody. This is my first post. I've just discovered this forum due to a renewed interest in growing. Haven't grown for at least 10 yrs but have 8 babies on the go. 4 Afghani and 4 NL. These are from seeds I collected from plants I grew about 10 yrs ago. I was given seeds by a friend and grew 7 plants under a 400w MH. 4 turned out to be female and the other three were male. Before going 12/12 I had cloned all 7 and then eliminated the male clones after finding out which were male and female. The second crop was all female. Because the first crop was a mixture of Afghani and NL in the same grow room the seeds I collected should be a mixture of the two strains. I labeled/packaged the seeds for each plant (over 1000 total) in tinfoil and then a baggy and stored them in the freezer. This is my first planting of those seeds after 10 yrs and they germinated beautifully. I sowed them in soil in individual 1.5" pots with a heat mat underneath. They all germinated in 2-4 days. Will be looking for any differences as they get bigger.
About 20 yrs ago I grew one variety for about 10 yrs. It was a clone given to me by a friend. He said it was a cross between Afghani and BC Hydro. Very good bud. Energenic - you had to get up and do something; you couldn't veg on it. It was also very harsh - would make the most seasoned smoker cough until you got used to it. Made a lot of clones and grew it under MH, HPS and regular fluorescent over those years. All my growing has been in soil.
Have been looking around the forum and can't help but notice how growing and knowledge have developed and expanded since I last indulged. It's great and I look forward to learning lots of new stuff.
