Hey everyone, Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you all had some spirit of the Irish in ya, or at least had a great meal or good get togethers. I made some really amazing corned beef, cabbage, potatos and rolls and it was delicious!
I think this good hearty dinner gave me energy to get some cloning done, clean up the plants and get them into the flowering tent.
I set the lights to 14d10Night right now in the flowering tent. Since I cloned some of the plants I want to give them a good week before I flip into flowering.
So I was looking on cutting some genetics out of the garden. As I mentioned I lost the Birthday Cake S1 as the clone I took never really was healthy and it struggled. It was a dank strain and I made a to of crosses with it, so its progeny will be in the mix in the near future.
I also decided this was the last run for my
GDP (Granddaddy Purple) I love this strain and searched high and low back in 2014 and 2015 to find a real cut of it. Well I've had it since then and its been an amazing strain to cross things into as the GDP x Deep chunk had the "purple" terps and flavor so it carried its genes well. The only thing I really hate about this plant is it always is not happy. Too much water, too little water, too hot of nutes, to weak of nutes.. it never really wants to take off, especially after I top it. So after much deliberation, this flowering run will be the last for this one.
The
88G13HP pheno that I ran in the flowering run was good, but it wasn't amazing and I know there is more magic within those seeds I will have to hunt. So this pheno will be the last run for it. I do have another pheno which I also used in the seed run and it was much more frosty, sticky and the terps were amazing so I kept that one. This pheno will get flowered out. I really do like the structure of this plant though. It really looks like something you would see in Afghanistan or surrounding regions. Definitely has that hashplant look.
I was also debating weather or not to keep the GG4, Black Cherry Soda, and Harlequin. I did end up cloning them for now but may decide later that this is the last run.
The
harelequin was a hard decision for me, But I made clones for now. Something about having a CBD strain in the garden I really like. It truly works for pain and is a mild medicinal high so I don't really want to part with it yet. Plus it has those tennis ball, new shoes, asphalt terps which are just so incredible.
The
black cherry soda I might make the last run since I have a bunch of S1 seeds I made of it. The only think that made me clone it is the absolutely amazing terps. Even just pruining it tonight, my hands reaked like cherry pez candy. I just can't get rid of this one.... LOL. I've had it probably since 2012 or 2013 and there is nothing like its terps.
Gorilla Glue 4 was also a potential that I was thinking about parting with, but I kept for now. Its just an incredible strain all around. Its easy to grow, its very greasy/terpy and delicious, its frosty as all heck. The only reason I was considering getting rid of it was that I've had it for a long time and bred a lot with it... but I know its the original cut by the leaf curl in the fans so I can't part with the original cut just yet.
I also will be keeping
OGiesel, Chocolate Thai #5, DJ Short Blueberry #A3 which is the one with the blueberry waffel syrup terps. I also am keeining for now the
Alien Antifreeze #2 ant definitely
Trainwreck is staying around for longer.
Alien Antifreeze #2 (Mycotek)
This plant is really a nice easy to grow plant. It has nice internode lengths, good node spacing, and not too lanky but a good overall size and structure. I ran it in a previous BX seed project as well as hit it with 88G13HP pollen last project. #2 really had a good traditional OG kush funk to it, mixed with a really sweet Chem and Gas terps that was very potent. I want to keep this around for a while to make some more future crosses (If I like how it smokes) so this is a test to see how I like the flower. If I like it, it may stay around for a while.
OGiesel:
Ogiesel I have had since probably 2012 or so and its my go to strain if I want to take 2 hits and wake up 4 hours later from a deep fetal position with drool everywhere. Its a very heavy hitter and shares a nice terpene blend of West Coast OG Kush,, and Skunk of the 90s.
Durban Poison: I popped a single Durban Poison seed that I got from Hazeman. I believe these are F2's he made. This is just a test run to see what I can get out of a single seed and what kind of attributes it has. I haven't had durban poison in many years, and never have grown it but I have seen so many talk highly of it, I wanted to see how it smokes as I hear its very potent and almost trippy but uplifting.
So the all new Icemud. "Muddy Genes Beans" Genetics that will be tested this round are:
(GDP x Deep Chunk) x DJ Short Blueberry F4 (my selected pheno of Blueberry Syrup terps)
So this started as a random seed popped of my GDP x Deep Chunk to test it out and it ended up being a very stout, slower growing indica looking plant with a very fat stalky bud that was extremely dense and it had the most amazing Nocral "purple" terps mixed with a deep velvety sweet orange terps. The high was so complex and almost trippy and dreamlike I knew I had to clone it and keep it. I used it in a few open pollen projects and with the blueberry phenos all being very good in all perspectives, I really think this cross will be very terpy, delicious and I think the Thai influence in the blueberry will blend nice with the trippy indica high.
OGiesel x 79 Xmas Bud
What Can I say other than I'm extremely excited about this one. I really think the pine terps from the 79 Xmas Bud will really enhance the Ogiesel and with the less "worked" Xmas Bud there might be some genetic goodies hiding in the depths of it. One of 2 seeds I popped ended up being a male so I culled it. It stunk up my entire house, and smelled of a skunks butt in a field of kush. Just amazing. So I really think this could have great potential.
Well I will be giving the plant about 1 week under 14/10 lighting and then will be flipping them over to flowering. Hopefully I cleaned up all the pollen good enough so I don't get any seeds but i guess it will be a good test also to see how sterile I have been keeping it
I think I've been doing wonders with everything getting washed with bleach water each grow.
Well cheers everyone and feel free to follow along as I do my 1st flower run in a while. Normally when I do flower runs I use 5 gallon pots but I don't have room right now for that so the 2 gallon one will have to do
I will try to do my best this run and keep them healthy
I gave them an organic bloom booster today with their normal grow nutrients to start edging them in that direction.
