McCrackin here with a project I wanted to share. Because we talk a lot about trimming the plants, I wanted to try a little science project so that we can see the results of something extreme.
[History]
OK, so the strain… O-BERRY-AFGOO-Kush, “Hereinafter BOB (Berry oh Berry) or Pink Panther” is a private strain. What happened was in 1996 the custodian of a very nice crop went on vacation for 2 weeks and when he got back the entire room had been seeded by a confirmed African Sativa X Goo-Berry MALE. The room had been growing female Berry flavored strains all kush denominates in an attempt to get other fruity smell and flavors to come out and play.
The resulting seed-fest was then played / experimented with for approximately 4 years with a group of 5 experienced growers.
In 2002 Grower A called Grower B and told him he had been working with some seeds from the 1996 debacle, and had found something interesting in 5 seeds labeled 1-5 of the 2002-SEED-1996-BK-4, cloned sexing female) that came from the 1996-BK-4 seed stock.( I believe that is YEAR, Berry-Kush, Plant #), all of these females had pushed pink pistils and smelled like fruit-punch. 3 Clones were taken and sent for all 5 of these plants. 3X5=15 total.
I was given clones of all 5. (I use the ^ to show cloning and the # for generation)
Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #1)
Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #2)
Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #3)
Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4)
Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #5)
Everyone promised that this strain was private… (We had a friend that did clones in LA in 2001-2005, so he promised that he would not propagate this strain into the clubs and not distribute any clones or allow the seeds from these to get out. He got 5 also and a friend in Northern Cali got 5.
The originals seeds stock and the whole original op where the seed came from was shut down in 2003 by some law enforcement action resulting in confiscation and no charges, leaving the 15 clones provided to 3 peeps the only remaining “pink Pistol berry private reserve.”
The guy in LA had flowered all of them thinking he could call Grower A and get more anytime.
My friend in Northern Cali turned one into a mother and flowered all other 4. I checked with him and he is sure the one he mothered was [Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4)].
I mothered [Clone ^1(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #5)] and flowered the rest.
This is where it gets interesting…
Before I got married, my buddy from Northern Cali and I lived together for approx 2 years from 2003-2005. When we lived together, we shared the space in the basement of this house for our “hobby”. So we didn’t need 2 mothers of basically the same origin so we flowered mine but not before I took a clone to keep in veg. This plant was called [Clone^2(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #5), noting second generational cloning= Clone^2).
Anyways we smoked the shit out of [Clone^2(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4] plants, and eventually got to liking [Clone^4(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4] more than all others.
From 2004-2007… the pink bud was a hit, it was tested 2 times and determined to be 14-18% THC depending on the efficiency of the grow. At the same time I had perpetuated a continual clone of my pink pistol #5. So I had a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone of the original clone.
When I moved out of the house I took my laptop and 3 plants leaving everything else. My bedroom is still setup the way I left it except for some other roommate lives in there now but the furniture is the same…Anyways I took.
1. [Clone^2(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]
2. [Clone^4(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]
3. [Clone ^6(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #5]
Fast forward to 2011, my buddy no longer grows and he flowered everything he had in one final bang in 2008. He still has bud from back in the day in his freezer for when I visit. Thus, I am the final holder of the “pink panther” as he calls it.
Pink Panther= [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4] is an extremely short indicia dominant hybrid that features pink pistols and a berry flavor. This plant gets so bushy it is scary. It might be the bushiest plant I have ever seen. Thus it is perfect for the heavy defoliation experiment. It smokes smooth and it is a heavy hitter. The body thing is a buzz and you get face-lifted every time.
So I ended up running some clones and keeping mothers and other stuff in my days…
I still have in my possession,
1. ONE [Clone ^11(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #5)]
2. FOUR [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4)]
3. ONE Multi-harvested- 2010 Seed Big Buddah Cheese 2009-BBC-2
This grow features 4 “pink panther” clones all [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]. I am going to call them:
BOB 1 [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]
BOB 2 [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]
BOB 3 [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]
BOB 4 [Clone^5(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #4]
In the back there you can see I am working the final phase of a (Multi-harvested- 2010 Seed Big Buddah Cheese 2009-BBC-2). Another experiment… I am hoping I can keep her going long enough for her to push some balls so that I can get pollen from her late in the game. I am working a superthrive hormone thing right now. This BBC tested as 21% THC. So I would like to have her propagate for me.
THE EXPERIMENT:
So these girls looked identical to this [Clone ^11(2002 Seed 1996-BK-4 #5)] ,before I butchered them as hard as I can before putting them directly into bud.
I am going to go12/12 for 60-70 days to see what the product looks like when you have well established roots but you cut out the fan leaves at mass for one of the bushiest plants I know. I will also be able to see if the harvest is seriously affected by the extreme defoliation at the start. I plan to use a little bit higher N ratios at the start to make sure the plants don’t get a def from having to push leaves…
I also plan to have a heavy trim done at day 20 and 40 and then on day 60 harvest at day 70.
Hope everyone will come along for the ride. I am excited to do a journal and I think something a little more experimental will spark off the conversation.

I like the lady in the back she looks like a little Bud Banzai tree
Need to get some white covering for those walls or some mylar then you good.
Check ya' out laiters!
