Mean gene and Rebel are there own show. Much love to the other guys but those two are next level and there’s WAaaY tooo many people …

[@markrisch3923]

Total shoutout to Mean Gene for the praise given for Rebel Grown. Both are examples of growing right.🙏

[@TheGrowBros]

When mean gene talk...me listen 😊

[@markalgee8295]

He shouldn’t be on there with regular dudes. You can tell by his face. He’s next level ppl. He should have a solo episode always.. Much less with 8 other talking heads going nowhere

[@akshunjacksun4270]

lets grow!!

[@falldogg8606]

Ditto! 😆 🤣 lol

The only trait I was looking for were the plants that make lots of resin but also a few seeds (6-8 seeds per 1/8) so no worries about being pollinated at all 🙂 OUTDOOR "chemical free" 🙂 In the winter, pollinate again in tents and then back outside next season 🙂

[@lasvegassal9322]

Facts! I agree with everyone else Mean Gene & Rebel Grown Need They’re Own Episodes Like A Duo With Them. They’re Def In there own lane. No disrespect to the other guys. But PBB dude really? 😅

[@mikespangler111]

Hemp doesn't need to be watered at all: just the morning dew is enough 🙂 an OG in Oklahoma told me to grow at the Tree Line in the shade so instead I grew at the Hemp Line: Ganja plants in the shade of the Tall Hemp plants & vegetables, too = the Hemp Plants keep the soil good for things that grow under the Hemp plants 🙂 Hemp is BOSS 🙂

[@sumerfun01]

Its not necessarily about " making crosses" but about working a bloodline for uniformity in the traits the selector is looking for, weather it be thru line breeding or backcrossing.......making a cross of a popular clone line to another popular clone line normally results in just more watered down bland crap...if you want to become a better breeder look at and study pedagrees form sucessful dog, chicken or cow breeders

[@thomassiegfried5409]

Depends on you Mr intentions, and goals, not everything is clear cut and there are useful crosses that are being made that aren’t worked lines that are improving things. Lots of different variables out there.”, although I do agree overall it’s just half hazard breeding.

[@curiousbystander9193]

whether weather is weather or whether remains the question?

[@mikespangler111]

When the Grand Solar MInimum starts in 2030, likely but hopefully Hemp will grow 🙂
