Creme de la Creme Photos: Sept 2016
I've smoked this stuff since 1968 and of those strains that I've grown, my current favorite is Jack Herer followed closely by White Widow. My goal is to find a strain to grow that might move these two down the silo and become my new favorite. I tend to rotate my consumption of strains so that my tolerance level doesn't go whack.
Additionally, I hope new growers will find interesting things here as I'm sure to run into one hurdle or another. Comments and questions are always welcome.
So I've got 4 strains going that I consider Classics and I'd like to add a few more so I can have the tent full. I may take some quick clones of these 4 if I fail to get some other seeds germinated. I have some free Afghani regulars on deck and a Dark Devil auto but they haven't broken soil and they've been in Jiffy pellets since Aug. 10. I get some duds....It happens.
As soon as they're all growing well, I'll provide number of days above soil and stuff like that.
Tent in the Grow Room: Mars Hydro tent 3' 11" x 3' 11" x 6' 7"
Light: Mars Hydro Mars II LED 900 W
Soil: Primarily my own mix using recycled Baccto Professional Grower's Mix, Calcitric Limestone, Azomite, Mykos, Perlite and EWC. I even think the last batch included one of the Fox Farms mix. Prior to the last cooking I added 8 cups of KIS Organics Nutrient Pack to about 30 gallons of the recycled base.
Nutrients: Mostly Fox Farms but I have quite a lot of things that might be tried. KIS says I should have all I need for a while and then feedings at 1/4 strength.
Pests: All my grows seem to have some fungus gnats and I'll treat for that with ground mosquito dunks on top of the soil and some fly paper.
Humboldt Seed Organization - Chemdawg
Chemdawg is said to be the parent of OG Kush and Sour Diesel, and the original plant comes from a seed in a bag of high-quality bud bought by Chemdawg the breeder itself, who developed new lines deriving from the original genetic. The smell is strong, a combination of pine and jet fuel, and the high is very strong, not recommended to inexperienced users. Chemdawg is Sativa dominant. According to the breeder, all of the Diesel strains (Sour, Headband, NYC Diesel) originate from Chemdawg.
ACE Seeds - Panama
Breeder information: Our Panama combines some different red sativas from Panama and Colombia. It's a uniform hybrid with strong vegetative vigor that produces beautiful large reddish and pinkish buds. Its quality reminds one of the best red American sativas from seventies, a real delight for the old sativa lovers.
She's the biggest of the seedlings at this point.
Humboldt Seed Organization - Blue Dream
From Breeder: This cross of Blueberry and Haze is known for its very pleasant fruity- tangy- earthy taste, blue color, and strong and lasting, mixed mind and body high. The high starts with a sativa high and finishes around 3 hours later with a relaxing indica like muscle easing and pain killing effect.
It is one of the favorites in California and in fact it is among the top ten most demanded strains in the US, which gives a good measure about the quality of this jewel. Taste is described by users as sweet, tangy, lemony, and earthy. Produces big plants that grow fast and wide, and it is appropriate for commercial purposes.
Humboldt Seed Organisation - Amherst Sour Diesel
What the Breeder says: This legendary elite clone was gifted to HSO by their Mendocino partners many years ago. It's the real deal and for those that know, the taste is superb and intense, plus the high is very strong too.
This champion mom is an easy feeder, fat yielder that generally likes to go 9 to 10 weeks.
As you can see, this one has the film substance from the seed head attempting to keep the cotyledons from separating. Bugger. This one was sprayed streams of water in an attempt to loosen that thing.
I've dropped another seed as this one bothers me and may have to be culled. One never really knows about these wonderful plants. They sure can fool you.
Additionally, I hope new growers will find interesting things here as I'm sure to run into one hurdle or another. Comments and questions are always welcome.
