Brandon420's Living Soil 2022 Second Run

We live vicariously through you. :laughtwo: Mph!

I ran some brickweed Colombians in a barn under metal halides back in the 80s, but it's just the indoor 4x4 these days.

I'm curious about your pheno hunting. To what degree do you test them? Is it all visual and aroma, or do you test each plant? Or screen them first and then test only some of them?

In my experience, 90% of a group will be average, a few will be good, and maybe ... maybe you get a standout.
The plants that pass the checklist for the veg and flowering grow cycle move on to the individual testing. Whether it be hash wash and then smoke or testing flower by smoking.

Also, if a pheno passes the grow and flower checklist, it will get moved on to expand moms and clones for a second test run of at least 1/3rd dep bed per pheno.

We were only running 80 plants so we were able to number each of them and take cuts. It took a couple years but we found maybe 6 that made the cut, 2 that were truly special. As you pointed out, some were too much hassle to grow - didn't clone well, or had a poor habit, etc.

You folks start out with good genetics to begin with. :cheesygrinsmiley: Wondered how it sorts out.

:Namaste:

Beautiful work like usual and the pictures are breathtaking as well. It’s always great looking at the farm you’re growing bro. CL🍀. :thumb: :bravo::welldone::drool:

You keep those 2 winners alive??

Yea, it’s a whole lot of numbering and cloning on this scale. A lot of killing plants too.
A lot of organization and constant movement all at the same time to keep clones/ moms alive of the pheno while simultaneously finishing out the originals and testing
 
Some pollen collection from a Yellow Passion fruit today

Also a peak at the females pollenated with The Beach pollen about 2 weeks ago. Moved them from the tent to the porch to finish off outside.

Alas, they got destroyed with the rest when it all came to an end. :laughtwo: Oops.

Pre-'90 select Lumbos - those woulda been keepers, yep.

#7 was a perfect Gold - tasted like Thai Stick.
 
Some harvest from the airstrip

Damn I miss Thai Sticks, what a fantastic high. CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Have missed you all! A far behind dump of pictures from this year is soon to happen!
Mush love!!
We missed you too bro but happy to hear you’re coming back soon. You got a lot to catch up on. You missed my first Cubensis grow. I have a nice stash of Purple Mystics just like I picked in Florida. CL🍀 :thumb: :ciao:

congrats homie! That’s exciting.
I would love to get my hands on a purple mystic culture again one day. I lost that culture in 2020 after the complex fires, shit got chaotic on the farm and the project got dumped. Was by far one of the best reveiwed varieties I have grown. Well known for tracers, light visuals, and very uplifting euphoria. I’m glad you are enjoying fruits from your own hard work on an amazing culture.

Good to hear from you Capt!
 
































 
































Beautiful pictures as usual and that Hawaiian sounds n looks great so do the rest. I was wondering if you ever thought about maybe growing some Milkweed? It’s really beneficial for butterflies but I’m not sure if attract pests. CL🍀
