Time for my first journal here on 420 Magazine for 2023. And if I am understanding this correctly, this should be my first name and claim, a pure baseline strain, as will be explained soon.
I call this Feyleaf-Generation 00/2022, and I am starting the project initially with 5 subjects.
The one in the tall Not a Pringles cannister is the initial primary for the project, from Seed:04 (00-03 failed due to my carelessness, as did whatever was going to be 05). As you can see, it is already developing nicely, currently one month old; having sprouted on 2022-12-22 (planted in the cannister on 12-24). Although this one is intended to go in the cage out back come June, I am hoping that after it gets upgraded to a larger container (undecided at this point just how large an upgrade), I will be able to get it to where I can at least take a cutting, get it rooted, and then sexed before Summer. I know the sexing objective should be doable, considering I had a couple boys last year that flowered still inside and in Stax cannisters. It's the early cloning I am still struggling with. I don't want to have to make the mother (I hope) plant flower completely, since that would then mean a couple months reveg time before she is ready to go back to normal and continue on.
The two in the little planters up front: 07 and 08; are not going to be in my custody for long. They were both sprouted on the 15th of this month and planted 2 days later, and are ultimately going to be my little brother's birthday present next month (I think the 8th is his birthday). I'll also be giving him a baggie of 20 Feyleaf seeds as well, in case he wants to grow more and help be an extension of this project.
Then we have the 2 in the styro cups, 06 and 09...
06 was in the same germination batch as 07 and 08 (01-15 sprouted and 01-17 planted, while 06 was 01-13/01-16.) These are the secondary subjects, that can serve as emergency replacements should something happen to 06. I'm also hoping one of them ends up being a boy for further breeding. My biggest hope is that 06 is a girl, and then 07 and 08 end up being a brother/sister pair. If that happens, they will get to grow up together in a 5 gallon bucket and breed together the next Feyleaf generation. Plus, the primary will get a few of her flowers hand pollinated by her brother as well.
Anyone have an idea about what is the deepest one ought to go in what I am calling noble breeding (what everyone else calls inbreeding) before weird shit starts manifesting and whatnot? These seeds and seedlings are what I am considering Generation 00, any seeds produced from siblings that come from these would be Generation 01, etc. Would a Generation 02 or 03 be worthwhile, I wonder? Guess that is a future project in the name of mad half assed science. I am thinking that I will wait until G:01 before doing the voodoo botany to make feminized seeds, since I really need both G:00 boys and girls for my experiments anyway. Will likely get another couple pairs going soon, since backups are always useful, perhaps even see if I can do an indoor/outdoor bucket grow and have an early Summer harvest. I certainly have plenty of seeds. I think I would call this an Imperial Buttload of seeds (and more turn up occasionally as I am sifting the bud before loading the pipe.)
So, as for the name and claim I am declaring...
From the way I understand it, traditionally one can declare a strain when they breed 2 sibling seeds together. I am going with the purest, perhaps considered hardcore standard of them being a brother/sister pair off the same plant; though I am thinking a self pollinated plant would qualify as well, which is a topic for another upcoming journal).
These seeds and plants I am calling Feyleaf, were in fact the offspring of what I called my 2019 Wildlings :18 and :19. And those two were genuine brother/sister siblings. Other additional and hopefully useful info is that the Wildling 2019 siblings were the result of 2 opportunity seeds (seeds found in purchased bags of weed back in 2018). The mother plant was Tardis and the Father plant was Sour Banana Sherbet. I am considering the Tardis and the SBS plants to have been half breeds, as they were from opportunity seeds with no way of knowing what pollinated the flowers that made them. So my default stance is that these are 1/4 each Tardis and SBS, and THEN 1/4 each whatever pollinated the Tardis and SBS flowers to make the seeds. So with them that diluted, I declared them as Wildling-2019, instead of declaring a full new name, with that happening once two siblings bred together. Does that make sense, and am I actually understanding the "standards and customs" for name and claim correctly? Or is this not even anything anyone really gives a rip about?
