2023 Fall hunt

First day of flip

Day 21 since flipping into 11/13, currently feeding 300ml-700ml per pot daily, lights were at 100% but dimmed yesterday to 79%. Ioncannon 6 has the most potential and leans heavily on the white in its genotype, ioncannon 2 and 7 have potential with 2 being more hardy. Wicked sour 3 is definitely the leader so far with its development and bud structure, terps are still void which I find odd for a heavy chem/gas leaning cross. Wicked sour 2 and 5 are lackluster so far with 5 having the better bud structure but 2 having the better vigor and overall plant health. Sundown leans heavily on its animal tree heritage and shows classic cookies structure. The odd thing with the ioncannon hunt was that out of 13 seeds all turned into female plants despite it being a regular cross, so far it has the most visual potential and hardiness’s in comparison with the rest of the plants across all of its phenotypes. They have been snapped and hst and bounce back within hours. 6 also feels like it will have some hash making potential based on the sandy texture of the current resin/trichome coverage. At day 21 I’m getting hints of sour lemon similar to a lemon head candy on phenotype 7. A train which came from the azula used in the cross. I’m expecting more gas to follow in the next two weeks. Nothing on either of the Underground Railroad females, males that were removed from the hunt have been cloned and still kept, one leans heavy on i95 structure and the other on haze, while one of the wicked sour males is heavy stardawg.

Removed wicked sour 5, and ioncannon 5. Plants have been subjected to stress in the form of feeding high and then starvation, goal was to check for stability of drought/dryback along with nutrient deficiencies and try to induce any hermetic changes, so far the tent passed with flying colors and I can’t locate any sudden pollen sacks. Ioncannon 1 very thin stems, yet it’s strong and relatively resistant to bending despite its appearance, buds are coated and smell exactly like the blue beam lineage, it feels wet to the touch yet leaves no residue when touched. A potential cut for breeding but probably not best for the grower who is expecting yields. Ioncannon 2 is starting to form buds tightly along the meristem. It’s going to be an insane yielding cut, the branches are sturdy with the right amount of bounce back to them to ensure they don’t break, after repeated hst I can no longer bend the stems. Ioncannon 4 possibly the perfect mixed phenotype leaning 50/50 in structure, it’s greasy yet not sticky. Stems are very resilient yet bendable. Ioncannon 6 is growing very similar to the parent of azula (blue beam#2) in structure, its main branches are strong and unbending, inner side branching is still flexible. Heavy yielding and with budding structure similar to the beam it makes it one of my favorites so far. It’s just very healthy. Ioncannon 7 with structure similar to the hog and great trichome coverage it’s pretty decent, I’m not a fan of the distance between nodes and buds however, very flexible yet rigidly standing stems. Wicked sour 3 has large beautiful classic indica structure and pure white pistols. Stem is decently strong but leaves more to be desired for my liking. Smells slightly like pine. Wicked sour 2 is growing is the same formation as ioncannon 1 and is less desirable but the buds seem to carry more sour diesel structure so I will have to determine if I keep the cut based on effects. Stem is more rubbery if that makes any sense, has a bit of bounce back but will snap hard if hard force is applied suddenly. Sundown, stems are weak and bendable and capable of snapping, main stem is ridged enough but side branches require support for full development, has a classic cookies bug profile with fans to support the look. Buds are extremely dense, it’s a medium to low yielding cut but I will definitely be keeping this one around, something about it is speaking to me. Bonus, doggystyleX(unknown)Chem - using doggystyle from mass medical (putang s1 x chemdog91) I took the best pheno in the pack and crossed it with an unidentified chem cross, branches are unbending and extremely sturdy, nugs are extremely compact in the center with some slight fluff from the strong pistols, this cut is leaning in the middle with structure borrowed from both the putang/pupil structure along with the chem, overall good yielding plant and no signs of hermetic activity.

Starting to get a little funky. Ioncannon pheno 1 is starting to crisp and die off, possibly fungal infection or just overwatering. Plants are getting sold despite being in these tiny pots and having crap lights. Running these cuts again under better conditions will be exciting. Ioncannon 2 and wicked sour 2 along with doggiestyleX are my favorites so far.
