What a day to start something new! Jan 1st 2020. A new decade is upon us. New beginnings. So with that in mind, let’s get this new journal rolling!
2020 VISION
2020 vision represents clear sight. We are able to see what’s in front of us. We know where we’ve been and we can see the path ahead. But with cannabis, the path behind us that was paved by those that came before us is so important. The same with genetics. The gene pool has become “watered down” in a sense. I’m not saying that many of the new strains that come along aren’t fire. But I see the best ones have a strong connection to the past. The great strains of the past were great for a reason. They were building blocks for a reason. You still hear their names for a reason. So for me this will be a year of growth. With one eye on the past and one eye on the future. It only seems appropriate to balance this first grow of the year with a bit of the past and a bit of the future. Looking through the vault and narrowing down my choices to 4 seeds is no easy task at this point. I’m proud of my collection but it’s far larger than I ever imagined it would be. So how do I pick 4? Well, I definitely want to try my hand at breeding in the future, so I eliminated the Regs. I would rather be able to pop whole packs of those at once in hopes of an outstanding male. That’s just not where I’m at though with my grow space or with local law. So 4 it is. Fems it is.
There are 2 that stand out in my mind from the list that I think represent the past well...
PRE 98 BUBBA KUSH - CSI Humboldt
INDIANA BUBBLEGUM - Mosca Seeds
And 2 that represent some of that new new fire...
PUTANG - Mass Medical Strains
GG4 x BOPTANG - @Kitchenhawk
I will be growing in Doc Bud’s High Brix Blend.
I will grow 3 plants in 7gal plastic pots and 1 in a 15 gal plastic pot. Whichever one shows the most vigor early on gets the 15 gal pot. Let the race begin!
Of course I will be using the Quadline training method but I may try to modify it a little for a couple of these girls.....you know....for science. More on that to come.
Also, with one eye on the past, I’ll be looking to add some crystals to the garden this year. This practice goes back thousands of years. Can’t get much more past than that! I’ll post some more about that shortly as well!
Gotta go drop some beans in some water!
With all that being said....The Smokin 20’s are here! Lets Roll!
