HOLY CRAP that's awesome!
I've been there, some of these top colas are freaking amazing. Indicas produce zillions of fat little buds and they certainly deliver more in the end, but I'm still partial to big sativa buds that give you a "let's do something" high.
Even if that something is just rolling another...
Peace, Hyena

HOLY WOW Rooster, your wife has a green claw for sure! 
I am always amazed at the vigor of the Blue Hyena, it seems to want to be in the NBA or something. Last grow it was the only plant I looked up at out of fifteen or so. I am super stoked to see how it buds out...one brother who grew one outdoors got enough bud to fill a Volkswagen.
I'm still just smoking my way through a wonderful summer and the Hyena bud cellar...
Keep in touch you all!
Peace, Hyena

You seem to have created quite the monster.
Congratulations enjoy your summer!

I can’t wait to pop the last couple black and blues I have once the heat goes down for a while. Nice job @The rooster i dig your plant discipline. It’s gonna be so much bud that’s thick and awesome, as I’m sure you already know. Cheers
Hiya HM,
Must be about time to crank up the grow machine again. I enjoy your prose and ladies. Thanks for the previous journals!

Hello everyone in 420 land...
I'm not dead.
I'll be cranking up the secret lab very soon. Big doings ahead!
Stay tuned,
Peace, Hyena

Good morning and happy Monday!
WELL, here goes nothing...!
It's..
The first PROJECT 28 REPORT!
Yes, I'm back, a bit later than expected (a month!) because ol' Ma Nature had some ideas about extending our summer fun (and too-hot attic environs) with another 4 weeks of 90-degree highs. I was all too happy to comply.
But now it looks like we can get back to our favorite pastime...GROWING WEED! And, this time around I am going for it...the brass ring...I will try to duplicate my BLUE HYENA and create a seed run with the goal of introducing the strain to market!
Now I admit I don't know beans about marketing beans. And I failed miserably in my first attempt to reverse a Blue Hyena.
So we begin right where I'm most comfortable...way behind.
Actually, if you have read my previous grows you already know I learn every day in every way, and Nature is tenacious which gives any grower a great advantage, so I'm optimistic-to-confident I will pull this one off.
Hopefully by the time I have 10,000-20,000 fresh, potent beans in hand I will have solved many of the associated issues such as learning how to package and eventually sell the seeds to one or more seedbank companies. I have actually done a lot of the marketing development already, so the main issue is creating the seeds in sufficient quantity and quality. Let's go!
I want to thank everyone who occasionally reads my ramblings and I promise more ridiculousness. Tell all your friends it's going to be riveting, even if you have to lie.
I'll be cracking the door to the secret attic chamber today...and the work begins. Settle in my friends.
Peace, Hyena

Another Monday...and another
PROJECT 28 REPORT!
Summer is holding on for a deliciously long time and being a golfer, I'm lovin' it like McDonalds. But I know the seed project is calling. I must heed that call.
I have been reading a lot about reversing plants...but nothing I didn't know already. That's why I believe my unsuccesful previous attempt to reverse a plant was just a fluke.
I tried to isolate a single plant within the confines of a small grow chamber, using a cleaner bag with a reclosable opening. I'm sure this made it a lot hotter for the plant (greenhouse effect, a problematical oversight) and my experience has been hotter = problems.
That probably is why the plant formed very few male flower clusters and those never produced pollen.
Plus probably more reasons.
But I think if I just do it to a whole plant without the bag it will work just fine.
So, the first question becomes; do I openly reverse a plant here in the lab and risk a hopeless contamination of my grow lab with Blue Hyena pollen? I never even found the tiny male banana that formed the original cross between Ripper Haze and Blue Dream (which I now call Blue Hyena), and for three more grows that residual undetectable amount of pollen was still fertilizing plants and creating new strains. Nothing major (I'm actually very grateful it happened twice, because there are now three Hyena strains) but it would be a much higher level of saturation if I did a whole plant and just let the pollen fly. My lab could never be cleaned sufficiently to prevent seeds in many subsequent grows.
Plus, if I did another strain afterward in the same space I could never be sure every seed contained only the intended genetics.
So I'm still thinking as I slowly put the lab back into operation...
My best plan would be to use one of several grow tents I have (that I've never used because I went right to building the secret lab shortly after getting them) to isolate the "mother" plant once it starts to display male flowers, then collect the pollen and somehow apply it to the plants in the lab without getting a bunch of it all over the place. It won't be easy to figure out how to do this, folks. Might need to use plastic bags to isolate each plant individually during and for awhile after pollination, then maybe I could get away with sufficient control of the substance to make my lab cleanable afterward. Those are my ideas anyway.
A grow tent in the middle of the attic isn't something that will be possible to disguise. But nobody besides me has been in our attic for years...it's just understood I go up there if we need to get anything or store anything. Plus I catch occasional mice regarding which I have zero clue how they get up there but they do. So I am probably going to just pitch the tent and if she ever puts up the huge ladder and goes up there, well, we'll have a chat I reckon.
I want to write more and get into what I'm doing to assemble and reboot the lab. But first,
I have to figure out why I can't upload any images to my gallery, the content of which is still accessable bu I can't figure out how to get into it and add more images. Some advice...?
More soon,
Peace, Hyena

What if you used one of those small greenhouse
Like this without the shelves
Should be better than a bag.

I use laptop. Go to Gallery, Add media, Choose Member Gallery and begin the upload is all I do. Same way with phone I think although I have tough time finding menu items on phone.
I think old tutorial has been updated. You might try that. Linked below:

I’m really excited to see your Hyena Hideout back in action! Ive forgot, ehats hat’s the third Hyena strain? I love the black and the blue
Also, when you drop your beans into the medium, how do you make sure they don’t sink in too far, and also make sure that get water but not too much?
Last grow I used rock wool cubes, which held too much water and nutes (also my fault and totally stunted the growth. Made for a silly summer grow, lol!
Cheers Brother.

Hey Jesse,
Good to hear from ya bro. I'm just getting back at it, the last of the 90 degree days is today they say then finally cooler I hope. No sense doing anything in a 125 degree attic.
Hyena Berry (Cheeseberry x Plushberry) is the third Hyena strain. It's berrylicious indeed.
I now just seat a grow plug into the perlite, and put the water tube just beside it so it regularly but indirectly provides water. Just put the seed in point down, which if successful improves chances a lot of the seed sprouting vigorously. If they begin upside-down it takes a lot of their vital energy to re-orient and still get above ground.
I'm about to do it again so stay tuned!
Peace, Hyena
