In order to explain that reason, we have to talk a little bit about our breeding process. Like most breeders, we use a chemical called Silver Thiosulfate (STS) as a part of our breeding process, to “reverse” the sex of certain female plants. Those reversed plants produce feminized pollen, which we collect in order to pollinate specific batches of females. It’s all pretty standard, but there are some things that make our process a little bit different from most other breeders. Instead of reversing entire plants from female to male, we designate specific branches on each pollen-donor “Dad” to be treated with the STS. Only those treated branches produce will pollen sacs, while the rest of the plant lives it’s life as a completely normal female. Once the reversed branches reach maturity and begin to produce pollen, we use some trade-secret techniques to collect the pollen without any cross contamination. That pollen is often used to create the next generation of a strain, by applying it to other female plants from the same seed batch. For example, in the case of Granite Haze F4, both the “dad” and the females that it pollinated were all Granite Haze F3. But what happens when the remaining female portion of the “dad” gets treated with it’s own pollen? That’s called self pollination, and instead of creating Granite Haze F4 seeds like the rest of the batch, that single plant will create Granite Haze S4 (the S stands for Self) seeds. At Speedrun, we keep those self pollinated seeds separate throughout each generation, sometimes doing limited releases or sending them out as freebies. In the case of Acid Snow, we ended up crossing the 3rd generation(S3) self pollinated seeds from our Frosted Cherry’Os with the 4th
