.......Sure wish I could pull an ounce per square foot...... but probably still wont be able to do a pound in a 4x4. Lol

BAH ! Anyone can turn a lb in a 4x4 growing DWC. That's only 4oz per plant. Four DDA, a 600w HPS, AN pH Perfect and one wouldn't even need to check pH. A hundred days later you're drying a big bag of buds.

I've got ADD, TBI, PTSD, dyslexia, and I'm so old I have a vcr/dvd combo. If I can do it, anyone can. :hmmmm:

............Speaking of auto crosses, Rifleman, if it turns out that you really like that Grape Crinkle but aren't thrilled with its yields, maybe think about one of Dutch Passion's "super" autos as a potential breeding partner. Some of them have reportedly produced huge plants even from first-time growers using soil. I have no idea whether you'd find an affect (et cetera) profile that fits your specific wants/needs, though.

I have grown and still have some seed for DP AutoUltimate, a mighty fine smoke. o_O

It would take more time than I care to devote, but a GCxAU select breeding to get the frost of the GC, & size of the AU.... :drool:

Of course one doesn't have to devote much time to slinging pollen and growing whatever results just for shits & giggles. Case in point the SSDC. I have three SSDC F1 from the same batch producing three different phenotypes right now.

Great, now you've put an idea in my head.... Ultimate Crinkle. :passitleft:

Lol Rifle. I still have a working 8-track tape player. I guess I'm getting old too.

Cheers friend.

Cheers friend.

my first car had an 8-track. A couple of years ago I was cleaning the garage and found my black box full of tapes. Janis Joplin, Boston, Wild Cherry, Nugent.... flying down country roads, parking by the lake at night. Oh the memories of being young.

Here's a thought for everyone, would you go back to being 18 again ? Why or why not ? :hmmmm:

Ditchweed242 · Nov 19, 2018

No, I would not go back. Simply because I was very stupid and might not
survive another attempt.

Cheers.

Back then, I didn't know much but thought I knew everything.

Now it's probably just the opposite.

Peace, Hyena

You get a bonus nod there baby... nice!

I'd ride the wave again.... hell yea. I'd love to do it with my current wisdom in place, but I'd totally do it with a blank slate and dance the dance over and over. Some of the turns on the dance floor might be better than others, but I'd dance again any day!

Damn tough question. I’m 40 and looking back I’m proud I served my country, my oldest is in college ( a good one at that!), I don’t deserve my wife, and my daughter is who taught me kindness and gentleness. I’m thinking like Ditch. I gotta say I’m one lucky dude.
But man, I’d love to be 18 again from a youth perspective whew!

The one I harvested looked exactly like the Sour Crack pics on Mephisto's web page. It was amazing quality stuff.

Ooh. To have lungs again, versus 30 more years? Isn't this the kind of thing sadistic genies offer after they've gone slightly mad from being stuck in a non-returnable for 5,000 years?

You know how, if you know it's coming, you tend to flinch? A few times, that might have been... costly.

On the other hand, to go back and do it all over again without foreknowledge? I'd just end up in about the same place anyway, yeah?

This would include the idea that every single variable in your entire life is exactly the same.
Boring.
Swap dance partners baby!

Rifleman · Nov 20, 2018

Reckon I forgot to mention, the Grape Crinkle broke ground yesterday. :yahoo:

I guess I'm the only one with Tead on the doing it over. Without a second thought I'd jump at it. With or without my current knowledge. Although with would make it much easier.

To be young again with all the possibilities of the world ahead of you, a body that doesn't hurt and the enthusiasm to push it. Hell yes, get out of my way before I knock you down answering that door of opportunity! C'ya :ciao:

I don't know how you get the idea that you can interrupt discussions of reincarnation and general fun with words of plants and their status.... and on you own thread.... How dare you!
Bud porn would be one thing... but a sprout?!?!

What's Grape Crinkle made from?
I like to track the things that make up the plants I enjoy, and keep an eye out for other things made from them.

Just wait, when the ancient alien theory gets thrown out I've got ideas that'll blow your mind. :cool:

I copied and pasted the GC genealogy below. Hopefully it works without the links. If it gets pulled by a mod, you can find it by searching at seedfinder.

An auto I see.... of course.
There's a whole lot of 'unknown' in that mix, so genetic background is not so handy here, but the Ripleys side of it is fun stuff.

Yeah, Mitch and the crew at Mephisto have been Very generous to me. I must have a dozen of their strains in the safe, several of them out of production or one offs. I'm thinking 2019 might be dedicated to seed production to preserve the rarest strains. :passitleft:
