Random Thoughts: Plants & Genetics

I have a pack of limonmine queen from them. Golden ticket/slymer pheno of Chernobyl x BB F1's. Shit I've made a shit load of Chernobyl F1's. Worst thing about him is he's happy just chucking pollen for F1's and not putting time in for F2' or further. His political posts are off putting too. I'm not really political but if I were trying to get people to buy seeds I'd be keeping my mouth shut

There is that LMAO. That put me off for the same reason. I can see and hear that shit everywhere else. Don't use marijuana seeds to further your political views.

But like I said it it is lack of interest in genetics that sealed the deal. He easily could have taken a few plants out of his F-1 hybrids to do further work with. Looks to me like he doesn't have the passion we all do. If that is the case why own a seed company. What he is doing is just making money off his dad.

I feel the same way, I have a couple packs of his seeds that I’ve never germinated. Most likely I never will either.

I'll still crack mine, someday. I did pay for them :laughtwo:

Too many other beans I want to pop.

That's the way I see it. I am glad I didn't buy more of his stuff. Clown Royal was the only one that caught my interest. I did add Flo, Flo F-5, And Temple Flo from D.J. Short. Might as well get the milk right from the Tit LMAO

Some Flo crosses are killer, I’d like to see someone run Flo.

I am going to have a bunch of test buds to try over the next few days. What fun. Things are to the point I need to make sure they are ready. Even with weed that I have never smoked I can get a pretty good idea how done they are by smoking them. Mostly I can tell if they are not done. I harvest when I harvest. I never got to the point a very much amber. As long as most or all are cloudy I start looking close. Most plants will swell at the end and you have to wait for that at least. after that they are pretty much done though some will still add THC after. I am already harvesting at least a week longer then I used too. Because of this I know I never get it too wrong. I actually didn't like the C-99 I took later. It lost that wonderful crisp clear high.

I am sure I have lost a percent or 2 of THC along the way. No big deal as earlier harvest stay on the clear headed high side more. Some Indica's can really be effected by early harvest. If you don't take them well into finishing. They don't have the needed body high that was the reason you grew and smoked them. The high is clearly unfinished to me. That is why I check the highs first. Usually it only takes one plant per strain to give me a idea.

I took a few more this time. Mostly because I was bored. Plus there are lots of different pheno's. One of the Banana Sorbet looks really close. I will be trying it this afternoon. It is not as frosty as the best plant but it is still damn good looking. I am going to have some interesting info tomorrow.

I’m with you, I like mine with very little amber. I’ll let a heavy indica go a little longer for night meds.

I really want to grow Flo. Some time next year for sure. It and C-99 are going to be my go too day time sativas for a while. I am going to do Flo first as I want to breed it to Cinderella 99. I am really surprised no one has crossed them yet. 2 extremely early sativas with great highs. What could go wrong. I like Cinderella's growth pattern better so I want it to be the mother. This will probably be one of the last regular hybrids I make for a while. As long as seeds are this available I will probably grow the best I can get at the time. I have tons to try already so even if supply dries up I'm good. I just really want to see C-99 x Flo so bad I have to do it.

Jackalope · Apr 3, 2020

With so many day time indica's these days it is hard to decide which is which LMAO. In lots of ways strains are becoming more wel rounded these days. Kind of like the old stuff but stronger.

Weed got lost there for a while. Some strains did all of one thing well but were still lacking. Sativa's became weak and turned to daytime weed all the time. Indicas wouldn't let you off the couch.

Dankman_420 · Apr 3, 2020

C-99 x Flo couple be a killer cross. I also try to pull with not many amber trichs. All cloudy is always best. I've read that when trichs get amber they degrade to the point that the heads start to break off, hence loosing trichs combined with lower THC testing. All the top growers that pay for expensive testing harvest same way. Plus I also enjoy the clear headed high too

When I mentioned I wanting to cross Ghost Train Haze x Flo. Rare Dankness came out with it. Maybe that will happen a gain LMAO. From what I found in my GTH that won't be needed. I was just smoking the wrong GTH LMAO.

Like I said I really don't know why someone hasn't done it before. Probably has something to do with the resurgence of Flo. The 2 strains are so different and so the same is what intrigues me

CSI Humboldt has a couple of nice Flo Hybrids. One is crossed with Chem91 and the other is crossed to T1000 Old Family Purple.

Dankman_420 · Apr 3, 2020

I think the younger folks don't appreciate the older strains like Flo & C 99. Too old and not the hype strains. But if they were able to smoke some, they would have a different opinion on the older fire strains :laughtwo:

Jackalope · Apr 3, 2020

They do a lot with what THC they have is the key. Like I mentioned earlier about well rounded highs. I have to keep reminding myself that so I will start those Temple Flo.

Jackalope · Apr 4, 2020

Well shit. I don't get to rave about how Banana Sorbet is strong as F**k. Pretty damn good buzz from the worst plant so I guess that is fine LMAO. It still needs to fill in the body side of the high. Buzz was great and intense. It was also very sativa like so I am going to give that plant a couple more weeks. Still the fact that this is the least great looking plant and it is just fine. The others should be what I expect them to be.

First try of the short SSH yesterday went pretty good. It has a great intense sativa high. Looks like my daytime weed will last longer. I get higher faster with the SSH lol. Strong but not overwhelming. Sounds perfect.

The tall SSH has went into overdrive. I dropped the lights back to 10 hours to finish the tent up. That might have been what put it into overdrive. Branches were drooping from the weight last night. I have to prop up each branch now. I am happy that things are speeding up with it. I knew it was going to go long I did know how long. It looks like it is flowering slow but should finish fast. The great thing is this plant looks healthy enough for the long haul. The short plant has almost ate itself up now LOL. It is pretty much done so that is no big deal. It would have been screwed if it was a long flowering pheno.

I will be starting to trim today also. All in all I have to say things went well. Not great like last time. Still I had lots of different things to deal with. Tallest plant is 4.5 feet tall and the shortest is like 18". Hard to keep everything equal when plants are like that. Lots of these plants would have been better with a longer veg. Looks like I will be happy in the end and that is all that matters.

Congrats brother! Sounds like a good run

I sure wish they were all like the Strawberry Lemonade I tried today. Holy crap that shit is strong. You can tell from the looks of it it should be. But anyone that has seen a CBD plant knows you just can't tell. I am still going to give it a while longer but not to long. I want to make sure this one regenerates. Smell has been starting to show up lately. Starting to get a dankness to it. Once cut up you get some strawberry. I was surprised to find good flavor at this stage. It's got a little cheese mixed with Og flavor. Cured this stuff is going to be amazing.

On a totally different front. I got some close ups of the Tall SSH So many close ups I forgot to get a cola picture lol. It is these close ups that I was wanting to get. So no big deal. I wish I had waited to post my picture for the month. One of these would have been better. You know you took a good picture when you auto correct and they look the same. I got that on a couple of these. can't wait to smoke this one. It is the only SSH that has a chance to be regenerated anymore. I am going to run with the stuff that punches you in the face. Enjoy the pics.
