So we have a new batch of seeds started and thought I would share the info here first and create a new journal for them too…these will all be split indoor and outdoor seeds. I have a certain batch of “pheno hunting” seeds that are almost exclusively for outdoors as they are the seeds we created last year specifically for that purpose. We have a small group of plants that express themselves as a group with 4 specific phenos: “ red”, “green”, “gold chunk” and “wispy thai”. They all share a terpene profile that is very lemon skunk with some tropical scents/flavors and a slight to heavy “lemon cleaner” background. We just call it lemon skunk and know the differences based on bud structure and color. The best phenos are the “red” and “wispy thai”. When you smoke the “green”, you feel like you did a huge line of coke and it lasts about 2-3 hours! The gold chunk seems to get a bit angry and is not recommended for day to day smoke…maybe someone likes it but the wife and I are convinced it is the bottom of the pile.
So we started 10 seeds from the bottom of the outdoor jars from last year…all green, gold, red and wispy phenos combined. Some were seeded by our Black Widow male and then I suspect at least one of the moms had a couple male flowers. I am giving out about 30 seeds for other people to grow (legally and locally) so we can start locating specific varieties and people can breed with them…they finish at the end of September in New England so they are a dream come true for outdoor cultivating.
The other batch of seeds consist of import seeds: Super Skunk (Sensi), Nicole Kush (DNA), Purple Afghan Kush (Dinafem), OG 13 (G13 Labs), Flo OG (Rare Dankness [score from a dispensary bud!]), Auto Pineapple Express (G13 Labs) and Auto Chemdog (Auto Seeds). I am pretty excited about these seeds and they will all get a couple of clones taken off them (except the autos) and then they will get put outside and we will see how they perform. You never know what varieties will do good until you try them!
The split for “day time” vs “night time”, because that is how I split them…All we care about is what ones are usefull during the day while someone works and which ones are good for the evening and bedtime…obviously when the individual plants finish we can determine exactly where they fit on the spectrum of useful medicine. According to the seed companies…Super Skunk, Nicole Kush, Purple Afghan Kush, Pineapple Express and the Auto Chemdog all fall into the “nighttime” category…While the OG 13, and the Flo OG will be “day time” varieties…we shall see. The outdoor pheons I am growing are all day time phenos so we should have a nice mix at the end of the season. I will put the autos outside as soon as the weather permits, probably another month, maybe 3 weeks…
That will leave us with clones of everything getting flowered inside under the 1000w and I will hang my 400 beside the tent just so we can get some light on the mothers if needed at any time over the summer. All the import seeds will live as mothers for the summer outside in pots and we will take clones off them periodically and have a nice batch ready to flower again in the fall. They will give up 4 sets of clones right away (early May), 3 for indoor flower and the other for outdoor, in the ground experiments…I want to see what will finish outside in New England. Then around July they will get cut again, probably take 6 each and drop half of them right into flower inside before putting them moms (drastically cut down, repotted and ready) into flower in September…we will probably let them start flowering outside naturally then finish them in the tent in October/November.
That will put us flowering the 15 import clones and probably 5 of our domestic seeds as clones too, so a total of 20 clones inside under our 1000w from May 15 to August 1 (just to be safe on time...10 weeks)then an additional 15 under the lights as soon as the others finish, call it Aug 1-Oct 15 and then we bring the mothers inside to finish their cycle on or about 15 October...these dates can move up by about a week per batch so the earliest the moms come inside is October 1 and that should be fine. We have a greenhouse that will sustain about a dozen plants into November...
I have to go, my daughter needs me to read...pictures coming in about an hours...I promise!
Hey have you ever seen bud growing from a fan leaf...? Only reason I ask is because your growing the same strain I have and saw it on, the Cheese! Here s a pic
