WalkerBerry OG (F1)

Week 8 of flower is in the books and it will be the final week we log prior to harvest of our F2 generation seeds. They coloured out really nicely and bulked up substantially (even for seeded buds) with excellent trich coverage on at least 3 of the differing phenos. The seeds are now ripe and the girls are ready to come down. What’s really good to see is the relative consistency across all the plants. Half coloured up better and that’s where we’ll draw our tester seeds from on the next F2 cycle. That’ll be a straight pheno hunt expedition until we source a suitable mother plant for pollination and further drill down on the cross. We also crossed out an OG Kush auto with the F1’s as well. If the bud shits the bed we at least gave it an extra go by incorporating more Kush into the mix (albeit with trace ruderalis genetics). You never know - this one could be straight 🔥 as well🤞. Full harvest report to follow. Added a couple of photos of our impromptu auto watering system. When we run coco and need to automate on a whim we just hook up the drip lines and allow the runoff to drain into a basic collection tray that we shop vac out after. It gets the job done and saves the back from hand watering. Easily something I’d recommend if u spend time away from the plants for a few day stretch. You can leave the runoff for a couple days if it’s necessary making the whole grow plug and play for your grow assistant/mother-in-law👍👌😉. Background This project has been a year in strain selection (and another year in the actual making) to get to this point with a viable potential cross. It’ll be a true polyhybrid with a mix of sativa and indica leaning properties for each. We’ve combined an especially powerful hybrid sativa strain of Strawberry with an equally manageable and hard hitting strain of indica dominant Skywalker OG. The hope has always been to combine them and boil out the best characteristics of each. The strawberry is phenomenal in terms of terp profile and a mix of strong head and body effects while the Skywalker is a mind bending, body butter kind of indica with that earthy Kush profile and flowery undertones. The strawberry is prone to botrytis and fasciation but features excellent terps and yields if grown correctly. She’s Also stretchy and somewhat unruly when she gets going. The Skywalker is a contrast in growth characteristics with a squat structure, medium sized buds and excellent resilience and resistance. The plan is to seed out the available females and take cuts of what we can post-stretch to get a closer look at any differing phenos. Still very much early stages for a stabilized new strain but we’ve got the right foundation of solid genetics. Now we just gotta get it off the ground to the next generation👍. We’re predominantly focused on the plants that demonstrate that hybrid vigour and wasting no time with any problem plants or runts. Stay tuned - with a little luck, this cross is gonna be straight 🔥😎👌.
