Random Thoughts: Plants & Genetics

[Dankman_420]

I can't remember but did I hook you up with DJ's gear

 

[Jackalope]

I have been following him since the beginning. First strain of his I grew was F-13. It had a smell and flavor I have never had since. I am not a huge fan of some of the Blueberry hybrids I have tried. They have the body high and flavor from the Blueberry but not the head high. I am going to have to go right to the source if I want a good Blueberry to smoke. I have since become the state agent for D.J.'s gear LMAO. Here's what I picked up in the last couple years.

Flo
Flo F-5
Blueberry F-4
Blueberry F-5
Temple Flo

What D.J. Short are you into?

What D.J. Short are you into?

I thought I sent you some of his stuff. Maybe not. My memory is for shit nowadays Would have been BB or krush. I went back through my stash and found a pack of Flo OG from Rare Dankness. I'll probably crack some of those this coming winter. I'm going to slow down flower tent for the summer and run my own creations in fall

A lot of breeders are using Dj’s Flo F5 to make hybrids. I have some seedlings going of Flo F5 x Mandelbrots OilSpill bx5 by high road seeds.
Here’s my Flo F5 x Lemonade by high road seeds

The SSH x GTH should be a killer cross I can only imagine what would come from it. I bet the stretch will be crazy as well as the buzz!!

Yeah true. I kind of need a stretchy haze strain though. Not sure how I will grow them though LOL.

 

[Orlando Scout]

I love a hard stretching plant as long as I plan ahead for it lol.

 

[Jackalope]

Those are the same reason I picked up all the D.J. Short stuff. Breeding. I like some of it the way it is, mostly I like that it is either close to stable or early on in breeding. This helps keep some of the old stuff in there. As sick as it sounds. I am going to find young hot females then make them have sex with these old males LMAO.

Dankman. I have Rare Dankness Flo Og too. It was the main hybrid I wanted to do with Flo LMAO. I needed to come up with a order to get some old Flo seeds a guy had laying around. He gave them to me as a freebie for a order. After getting to know Ghost Train Haze more I am really looking forward to growing it.

Raredankness has some fire I grew some Elephant Stomper x LeeRoy TK and it was Amazing, she was super TK dom and almost to potent which almost doesn’t even make sense.
I can’t wait to see some of the new hybrids you make!! I’ll have to get you some pics from my MysteryCleaner and my little Headband x Critical. The Mystery Cleaner still has that really sweet juicy fruit gum smell that I’m in love with!!!!

 

[Jackalope]

Orlando. That Ghost Train Haze plant has the smell of the Ghost Og that I was really wanting. I don't know how the hybrid will do but at least that smell should be in there somewhere.

That sounds amazing, it should do really good in a hybrid. Everyone talks about the Ghost OG I just wish I was a lil older so I have more experience smelling and seeing what’s expressing in hybrids. I’m getting better on what to look for but will never be on your level my friend!!!

 

[Jackalope]

I only know it because I didn't like Trainwreck LOL. Ghost Train Haze was the best tasting haze I had every tasted the first time I tried it. Nothing like before. It made Ghost Og easy to spot in the hybrid.

I have Dankness Cookie Ox too. Have not heard much about it yet. It's someday weed LMAO.

I can't wait to see them. Headband x Critical could be real interesting. The Choc. x Critical hybrid I have has become one of my favorite daytime smokes. The Critical could mix extremely well with Headband. The same pollen made Chocoloco stronger. I am just happy that those girls can keep up with all the new stuff you are trying.

I am hoping this means I am going to have Orange Haze.

There are seeds in this tent. I just need this plant to have a few too. Hell even a bunch I wouldn't care to much. I know the male. It would suck but. In that tent I have a very good Cataract Kush, Ghost Train Haze, BOO, and Clown Royal. Not just any but very good ones. What seeds are there will be grown by someone someday.

 

[Jackalope]

The fact that the hair has been sucked into the pod is what tells me it may be a seed.

 

[Dankman_420]

Rare Dankness is another breeder that I believe tries to stabilize there gear before releasing them. I've grown 3 of there strains with zero complaints. All solid plants with no intersex. I have 2 of them going atm

 

[Jackalope]

I am not sure anyone stabilizes strains anymore. They don't say it all the time but most are F-1 hybrids. A F-1 hybrid has lots of vigor is the main reason. A good F-1 will have lots of the characteristics of stabilized strains. From what I have found growing selfed strains. Is stability is harder than people think. If you self a strain. The best results are going to be around 50% like the original. That is with good genetics. When you self a plant and get tons of different pheno's. It shows just how unstable strains are.

When companies use solid genetics when making F-1 hybrids. The resulting selfed plants will have less variations than one that is made with random genetics. These new poly hybrids have tons of potential. When selfed they are also going to be all over the board pheno wise. The BOO I am growing has all different pheno's. Only 1 is what it is supposed to be.

I promised Banana Sorbet so that is what you get today. Pictures are good enough. They still do not capture what I see in this plant. Yes it is frosty looking. Pictures just don't show how frosty. For some reason I can't capture what I am seeing. Sweetness is through the roof. Not sure I would call it banana but it is close. What do you think?

Close ups are where I really wanted to see the difference. They look great but not special. I am pretty sure this plant is going to be special. New hybrids do bring frosty to another level though. Maybe I am just spoiled. Last years Alpha Dawg is going to be hard to beat. These are nice but they don't make you say WOW.

Now that I look at these pictures. I am seeing something that gives me tons of hope. The balls on the top of the trichome's are not very big yet. Pretty sure all these will swell a bunch over the next couple weeks.
