Feral's Journal Of Insanity & Some Growing

Thanks bro, I actually think most of them look a lot better in pics than they are :rofl: still a few getting over the coco issues I had with ugly brown spots and the rest are underfed :rofl: about the only one I'm really happy with is the White Jack DWC, perfect health right there :)
 
Overlooking the fact that you will be your harshest judge, if I could get those kind of results at the moment, I'd be very happy. I'm really struggling with the transition to indoor growing, its much easier for me when mother nature is in charge, she's been at this growing lark a lot longer than me, and it definitely shows.
 
Feral, you seem to have really taken a liking to the Mango, what is it about it that you like? I had some Mango a little while back and found it too strong, got in my head way more than I expected for an indica. I found the taste really different from what I was used to, which I can see as a good selling point when so much tastes like OG or Skunk for example. Mine produced a ton of kief as well.

Basically its because its a strain that has been handed to me to continue on, I was given the seeds around 6 years ago, the guy I got them from is a good mate of my dads and has been growing them for about 20 years, every 5 years or so he ends up with males pollinating all his fems as he has no idea how to sex them, basically open pollination with multiple males so hasn't really locked out any phenos, its an unknown strain and the first plant I grew had a full on mango smell which is why I named it mango ;) since then I have not had a mango smelling pheno :rofl: it really intrigues me because I want to see what I can get from the strain as I have already found 3 phenos, its a line that nobody else is working so will be unique, another reason is because it is a lot more pure than most strains out there, has not been fucked with in over 20 years considering this is the only strain he has had and have not had a chance to be pollinated with anything else ;) Even more reason is because it has been continually run and bred in our climate it has acclimatized to our conditions :thumb: From memory is also a lot more potent than anything else ive grown from international sources and has the kind of high I like :passitleft:

Its cool you got some old seeds to sort through. I used to have heaps of oldies but lost them during a break up years ago. Would have been some good thai and mexican seeds in there. And some okd orange that grew awesome buds outside. Struggled indoors. But still i would love to see what i could do with them today. Think we need to start mixing in some older genetics to reinvigorate what is becoming pretty homogenous. After all is done years from now i will probably end up growing a good skunk. But ill enjoy the journey to that point. Hope you can find another mango tasting one tho. Mango is all the rage right now too...
 
Yeah I'm hoping to find some standouts, had about 650 when I started, gave about 100 away, hopefully Grizz will drop some in down the track, after running a lot of MNS stuff he might have some insight for me into what it actually is :rofl: I'm guessing it will be similar to some of their stuff or around the same era of strains, could even go further back to SSSC or may even be an aussie bred strain like mullum etc ;) My guess at this time would be something like NL5 Haze as there is a bit of variation in the phenotypes, some are full on sativas like a haze and there are shorter stockier phenos like a NL5 :thumb: I also had about 40 of dads seeds which I had no luck with but was given the old Thai Buddha seeds not too long ago and managed to get one up, still have 2 seeds left I hope I can find another :) I most definitely agree with mixing the older strains in, strains like the mango I have here have not been messed with so shouldn't have lost its potency like a lot of the strains out there today ;) Damn if only you had them seeds today man, sounds like some awesome strains, I kick myself all the time when I think about the seeds and plants I could have either saved or cloned, had a mate give me a whole bunch of Acapulco Gold seeds I never germinated I lost back around 20 years ago now, around that time I had a plant grow by itself in the paddock and was the first ever purple mull plant I ever saw, shit was full on violet and holy crap it was one of the most potent things ive ever smoked, seriously let down after trying other purps :rofl: :rofl: I also plan on running some skunk in the future but not going to waste my time till there is one out there worth the time, Hopefully Grizz finds a nice RKS in his pack he bought, I know Duke Diamond is working on a RKS line too from the original SSSC basic skunk which should be released soon ;) TBH I liked the Mango pheno but I'm more keen to see what these others turn out like, M2 after a stem rub smells exactly what I remember good "hydro" weed smells like :thumb: I should find another mango in there anyways with about 500 seeds left :passitleft:
 
Lol yeah, can get more too, lets just say his crop a few years back was a little seeded, only gave me a little jar but has sandwich bags full of them :rofl: :rofl: he has got to the point now where he doesn't want to have to deal with sorting males and females so he gave them to me to sort for him, when he needs a cut he comes and gets one and I get to carry on the strain :)

HAHAHAHA sounds like me!
 
:rofl: yeah that would be my luck, the first seed I drop and the last :rofl: oh and probably about 50 of the 100 seeds I gave away :rofl: :rofl: He still has a lot more seeds where that came from, I wont need anymore, I was perfectly happy with what I already had lol, I should be able to make something special from them :)
 
Nah I have frozen a lot of the ones I had and will freeze a lot of these other ones, put them away for a later date when its either legal for me to grow them all out or ill move to somewhere that does and run them all in a big greenhouse, wouldn't take long to get through them then lol ;)

Thanks man, I'm loving them so far, not getting much smell from them yet but looking amazing, I cant wait to run the clone in the DWC, it may end up being the next to flower after White Jack as its vegging a lot quicker than the C99 and 91'Krypt :thumb:
 
I may pull them out separately tonight and have a sniff, I think its mostly hard trying to pick up on individual scents with so much going on in there and my sense of smell aint really that good lol, the best time ive found to sniff them is when you switch lights out, they throw off some potent aromas for about 10 minutes :)
