Question 2 questions about chucking

Baron

In Bloom
1. What is the proper etiquette or protocol when you want to use someone’s gear for chucking ?
2. If you have a hermie that you do see until it’s to late, are the resulting seeds good, will they tend to produce plants that hermie, and finally, does it make any difference if the pollinated plants were grown from feminized seeds ?

Hey Baron
1. If you know them/talk to them let them know and ask if they have an issue.
2. It's up to you really it's not ideal but people do
3. I haven't noticed any cons
 
I'm going to toss out another question on top of the question regarding planting a "hermie" seed. I use female seeds and I've yet to have anything beyond a couple of seeds in my handful of grows. I did save them and at some time I will plant them.

Here's the question part ... If you know that the hermie was caused by heat stress for example, wouldn't the resulting seed only be prone towards throwing male flowers under heat stress conditions? - and - If you're better able to control the temps, wouldn't it be just as likely to stay female for the whole grow? I'm asking because I'm not sure ...

I am very much a new chucker( <2years ), but my understanding is once you create a new cross, it's yours.
That doesn't mean crossing Breeder A's strain 1 with Breeder A's strain 2, but rather taking genetics from different sources and combining them.

For me, I have made new crosses from PSBC gear, but would never call the result my work. I've crossed strains from different breeders and consider the result mine.
I also have a project where I hope to work a cross I made into a stable IBL. Even though both parents were from the same breeder, once I have a few generations of backcrosses and inbreeding, I will also consider that mine(assuming anything comes of it).

Of course, I have no commercial interests and this is all a hobby. Folks who do this for money may well have a different view.

Hermie seeds can be gems, a bunch of elites were hermie seeds. With that said a hermie seeds are also prone to being just that herms. If original did it with stress or just from genetics more than likely the resulting seeds will carry that shitty trait too. If you have access to other seeds trash them or store them for a rainy day.

Ive asked breeders permission with the intention of chucking and all were good with it. Good to reach out definelty. Usually get some good insight into the strain in return for being upfront.

I wouldn't use 2 of one breeders strains for fear they may want to do the same.

I know S1's are all over the place but some poeple get pissed at them.

Always give breeder credit when using their gear.

I see lots of F2's of strains people make using others gear. I suppose if they're not for sale its hunky dory. Seems grey to me. Except to be able to personally hunt further. See alot of F2 freebies that arent from original breeder.
 
Since I'm not doing this for money, fame or glory, I give all credit back to the breeders of the parents. Hell, I'm just chucking a little pollen.
Then you should be fine. Just do what I do in most situations like this, put yourself in their shoes.... How would you like to be treated, etc. Most times you'll find the best answer that way. Golden rule is golden for a reason. ? Good luck with your chuckin!

When somebody sells genetics, they are letting them go. Once you bought them, they are yours to do with what you please. If they did not want it to get out, they shouldn’t of profited off releasing it.
if somebody gifts seeds, please respect whatever wishes they have for them.
Totally get that. I think most breeders get that too. Just feels right to me to attempt to reach out. If for nothing else than the insight they could provide. Also starts a dialog with the breeder no harm there.

I disagree. I wouldn’t want to pester somebody with such a piddley little question. They sold it, you bought it. It’s yours. I felt it went without saying. And, why are you chucking with something that you’d need breeder insight from? Shouldn’t you have a good idea what you’re working with before you start throwing pollen? I know it’s just chucking but still.

edit: I’m not coming at ya, lol. Just putting questions forth

I agree and disagree with this.

I agree that when you purchase seeds that are for sale, you can use them. For instance, if you're selling Dino Berry Bites and I buy them, I can use it with something else if I want to create something new. But in doing so, credit should always be given in the lineage. I.e. Snake Bite (Rattlesnake Diesel x Dino Berry Bites)

I disagree that when you purchase seeds you should be able to do whatever you want with them. (morally) For instance, if you're selling Dino Berry Bites, and I buy them, F2 them, and start selling Dino Berry Bites F2's, that's not morally right. Can someone do that? Of course they can. It happens. People can do whatever they want. If you're trying to walk a respectable line should you do that? Absolutely not.

What is the difference between f2’ing Dino berry bites and crossing 2 different strains from other breeders (or really anything you didn’t make yourself)? At the end of the day, is A+B THAT much different than A+A? If I took Dino berry bites and smashed it with grandpas breath, what difference would that make? I took two works from other people I had no hand In making, and crosses them. Boom, new lineage. If I took Dino berry bites and F2’d it, there are two plants I had no hand In making, that I crossed.

whats the difference?

that said, I agree and only giveaway f2 work. But still, do you see a difference? I’m just asking for opinions, not trying to argue.

If someone F2's someone else's work like Dino Berry Bites, they didn't create anything. They're simply playing with someone else's work. And if they decide to sell it, it's flat out shady and a slap in the face of the original creator.

Crossing two different strains from two different breeders is creating a new cultivar and is now something that that individual actually created. It's a big difference and that's how new cultivars are created. If it isn't a landrace, it was created using work by another breeder.

(or really anything you didn’t make yourself)?

New cannabis strains aren't made with magic wands that appear from nothing so I don't understand your above reference of "or really anything you didn't make yourself." If you take two different cultivars from two different breeders and create a new cultivar that hasn't been made before, you created it.

I like to believe most breeders put a lot of time and effort into creating their new cultivars. So their hard work should be respected. That's the difference.

I find it disappointing that you're a breeder yet you're saying there isn't a difference between A+A vs. A+B. Disappointed only for the fact you're a breeder and not someone new to this that's seeking information to do things the respectable way. I can't help but ask myself, 'How is this guy a breeder, yet he or she doesn't understand these differences?'

I'm also going to call bullshit that you don't understand these differences because I know you do. Or else you wouldn't have said, 'that said, I agree and only give away F2 work.' So you clearly understand the difference. There's no need to be politically correct and state you're not trying to argue when you clearly are. Unlike the OP who is genuine in their search for answers, you're a breeder and should already know proper breeding etiquette. So I'm not buying that you don't understand the difference.

I also don't see anything wrong with a customer F2'ing another breeder's work for purposes of seed preservation, creating more personal stock, or gifting those F2 seeds away. Just as long as they're not renaming them to imply it's something new they created. Proper etiquette is broken when things become monetary and the customer tries to sell those F2's for monetary gains off the back of the original creator.

Please find and quote a single instance where I call myself a breeder. I’m just asking questions, I don’t necessarily believe what I’m asking.
lol as a matter of fact I have never been referred to as a breeder more in all my life than just now, in your post.

1. Always give credit to the maker of any seeds you work with. Period.
2. Never sell f2s, f3s etc of anyone's work unless the maker no longer sells, makes, or has plans to continue making. - example, Bodhi's Goji OG, Honest's Banana Punchsicle - both breeders made public statements "when they're gone they're gone".
3. Don't be an asshole in seed making, or otherwise.
