A Little Old A Little New

[Costanza]

its been awhile since I last posted, had a really crappy end to my summer. First my mother fell and was having issues and was in the hospital then my 12 year old dog started going downhill swiftly and started losing the use of her legs. Lost my job in the beginning of the summer and found a really good job but I had nobody to watch my dog and I refused to put her down and turned down the job instead of putting my dog to sleep. Been a little down in the dumps so I haven't really been active on the forums but I never stopped growing so here are a few pics from the last harvest and the current batch at day 1 in the flower tent. Plant in the drying tray is Peaches n chem and the branch I am holding is Purple Nepali. Next batch is 1 Sunshine 4 , 2 Mother Milk and the rest are Jabba's stash. If you look closely at the picture in the tent I just had some new halo style irrigation emitters 3d printed by a friend last week, and if anyone is looking for something similar let me know and I will send you the print file.

Hell Cman that's a kick in na nuts! Glad you're still in a grow! Sorry about your pal, I won't have any more pets myself. Too much heartbreak. Best of luck on the next awesome job offer!

1st Smoke report from latest batch

Strain : Peachez n chem
Breeder: strayfox gardens
Lineage: Peach Oz x Tresdawg

Growing difficulty: very easy not picky
Effects: uppity euphoria with nice eye pressure.

Smell: chem with a funky fruity back end that is hard to describe the type of fruit

Taste : was expecting chem or a slight bit of peach and what I got was candied spiced apples and I’m not mad at all

 

[Costanza]

Purple nepali tester buds
Strain: Purple Nepali duh
breeder: Strayfox gardens
Lineage: Nepali cream x Purple Unicorn f3

Growing: kind of picky , and this pheno was leafy as hell but nothing too difficult to grow

smell: floral violet funk with a faint pear and cream

Taste: Still not there yet but what I tasted was pretty similar to the smell a little bit too floral for my tastes

effects: much heavier than the peaches n chem a little stoney with some weighted pockets feel to it but not too heavy. a bit foggy on the head buzz

You grow em frosty Costanza! Real nice buds!

Beautiful nugs!

I feel ya on the dogs. Same boat, never married and no kids. When my last ex moved out I had to alter my travel and fishing duento the four legged kids. Sucks they don't live as long as us.

First small reproduction
Decided to reproduce an older bodhi pack Jabba stash (bubba kush x snow lotus). Here is a pic of the whole tent and a few close ups of Mortimer my chosen stud. He has a really nice structure with thick side branches and a really stinky garlic pickle stem rub

started seeing some pollen on a few leaves so the two females have joined the party

 

[StoneOtter]

Good Bodhy genetics in = good out! Happy pollination!

thanks first time doing this and I'm sure I am being overly cautious but I am very much allergic to pollen and I've been looking like Dustin Hoffman in that outbreak movie when I check on them I mask up like there is radiation in the house lol. I'm still in shock that these seeds even germinated they're from 2011

Day 32 F Jabba male has been killed and bagged both Jabba females have been pollinated, and are back in the flower tent along with the female mother’s milk f2 and sunshine 4 f2s. Jabba 1 has more frost and thinner leaves and Jabba 2 has broader leaves with minimal trichome coverage.

Just about finished with my first seed reproduction.
I was invited to join a collective of growers that focus on turning popular strains into auto flower varieties and this is going to be run to F3 by 9 members of the group and crossed with various autos in the next year.
Here is the inside of the cards that will go out with the seed pucks along with the breeders description

Jabba's Stash


Ever wonder what jabba the hut loads into his giant hookah?
Jabba's stash is a big oily funky indica, created by
combining our amazing oldschool bubba kush mom, and the deadly
potent, big yeilding, super frost, snow lotus male. expect big
kushy wands of crystal covered nugs, with dark acrid spicy flavors and smells ranging from dark roast coffee, african violet, elderberry, body odour, apple butter, and bounty hunter hideout funk. deep head nodding trance cannabis... 9 weeks flower time

Genetics: bubba kush x snow lotus
Flowering Time: medium
Height: short/Medium
Characteristics: oily funky bounty hunter bud

One of my buddies is a small breeder and he just got approved a few weeks ago to sell his seeds on glg. I’m growing some testers out from his next lineup and it’s the first time growing autos since my first ever grow. This one’s called unseen queen it’s got old school mango haze and chem genetics and it’s gonna be a nice sativa hybrid
These pics are from day 18 this morning all have been topped and have had the fan leaves removed

 

[StoneOtter]

Exciting times! Happy testing!

 

[Scottay]

Can't wait to watch these girls blow up!! Happy Sunday!!

First seed project is finished. Shucked the seeds from plant 1 and got a pretty good amount but plant 2 is twice the size so I’m thinking I’ll be set on seeds for awhile. Put the seeds in a cup to dry before they go into the wine fridge for storage but wanted to test them out to make sure they’re viable and I got 5/5 germination so I’m gonna consider this a success. Two photos left in flower tent and two larger autos were placed in there yesterday. Smallest auto still in veg tent along with the 5 Jabba f2 babies and a lemon wookie seedling

 

[StoneOtter]

Congratulations on your first chuck! They look perfect! It's fun creating something new from old!
