Hey man! Wow amazing story. Im a fair bit younger but have had my knees in the dirt with family growers since i was about 10 lol. I myself am attempting to source some pure genetics. I enjoy growing everything and the new strains do have their place in my garden but my heart lies in the old school 100%. These genetics do need to be preserved n im in the process of sourcing some for my own lockbox which i shall be burying six feet deep for my future generations lol.
Im not gonna lie after the first 5 posts i started taking broadstrokes but im here and watching bud. A shame more people havent joined you :s strange but hey im here

Thanks for the tips Bilbo. I’ll get around to posting a link to this journal one of these days for sure. I’m so new to this site that I’m still learning the protocols.
As far as my next attempt.... I have some amazing Bogglegum that is fun to grow. I just seeded a Bogglegum Mom with this NL5XSK1, so I’m curious about how that cross would come out. Might try that next. I also have some beans I bought in ‘14 which include DJ Shorts original blueberry, Jack the Ripper, Durban poison , super silver Haze. So I have choices to make.

Super silver haze is on my top 10 list 100%.
Not heard of bogglegum i assume from the name though its a variant of the obvious. That should be a sweet and punky specimen for sure. Bet the yields gonna be unreal aswell. Fair to say the bogglegum may tighten up the nugs a bit ya reckon?. Definitely eager to see what you drop. @Preston9mm and @Pennywise would appreciate these strains aswell i reckon.
Got some nice strains there Dude.
That JTR is on my short list.... and I definitely get down on that DJ's BB.
Bangin' line-up.

I recently found out that Bogglegum is kind of an obscure breed. It’s a hybrid cross of bubblegum and northern lights. The breeder’s name was BOG, an acronym for Bushy Old Grower. He was apparently a skilled breeder but he dropped off the radar in the early 2000’s. The guy had some wicked breeds though. Bog is Definitely google worthy when you have some spare time.

I wish I had more info on some old breeders. I really appreciate their craft though. Big difference between a breeder and a seed supplier of course. It seems there are more seed suppliers and copy cats than there are talented breeders these days.
The only other old school seeds I have tucked away are from Breeder Steve of Spice of Life seeds. Way back in the early 2000’s, Breeder Steve offered a “variety pack”..... he offered all his obscure breeds that he pollinated with his best Sweet-tooth male. Shiskaberry, Strawberry Blonde and a few others of his old school breeds. It was a grab bag offer, so I ordered ten seeds. They sit in cold storage, awaiting resurrection. Those genes should prove interesting and very different from today’s polyhybrid mix-ups. Again, I’m not not knocking modern breeds, I just see a marked difference from old school vs new breed lines.
Apparently, Breeder Steve got rid of Strawberry Blonde because it was a paranoia inducing strain. You smoked it and fear settled down upon upon you, like the grim reaper. Sounds like my kind of weed actually. I like the overpowering stuff sometimes. I think what I enjoy about it is returning to normalville after a good freakout...... but I digress. I’m looking forward to popping those old Spice of Life seeds. Surprises surely await.

Captain’s Log, stardate 6 weeks. Things aren’t perfect, but I’m pleased with the current progress with the girls. I say things aren’t perfect because I have room for improvement. My biggest detriment is water PH. Here’s my dilemma. I feed the girls on the weekend with perfect PH adjusted organic tea. But during the week, I am away on the road. The plants are watered remotely using my smartphone. Activating a water pump that’s plugged into a smart plug. The pump is a 300 GPM submersible, placed into an 18 gallon Rubbermaid storage bin. Pump feeds 12- 2gph drippers. System works great. Problem is, my well water. It’s perfect 6.8 ph out of the tap, but because of the minerals/hardness, the ph tends to buffer upwards toward the mid 8’s as the water sits in the reservoir. No amount of vinegar will keep it stable. I know I can purchase bottled water but I don’t want to lug that supply around. I’ll eventually invest in a RO system.
So the plants are having to deal with less than ideal ph for one watering per week. Im looking forward to perfecting the water sweetness and quality.
