Have posted some more pictures for fun.
"Eye Candy" is just a mixture of pictures showing my babies as they were growing up.
All these strains were planted after the Summer Solstice, as I prefer to harvest many smaller plants of different varieties/strains than I do harvesting just 1-3 large plants and being stuck a whole year with the same flowers, which gets boring pretty quickly. As they say, "variety is the spice of life"!
This way, with many smaller plants and many strains, I have my own "dispensary" with a strain for every situation. Feel like chilling? Try an Indica. Feel like staying active and alert? Pick a Sativa. Plus you get the chance to develop your own "library" of favourite strains. It is a win - win situation!
From Mother Nature to you and me - Sun, soil, and Love.
Enjoy in moderation! ........ Organoman.
Nice indica, cross between a white widow and a select Afghani, what could go wrong? Great newbie strain, especially indoors as it is so easy and forgiving too, hard to muck it up, so could concentrate on getting your system dialled in and not have to worry about the plant.
Boringly simple to grow, good candidate for SOG due to main bud size and limited branching. Prefers a medium high feeding schedule, with nitrogen through to about half way through flowering. No issues with bugs, but watch out for mould due to her dense flowers and compact/tight growing structure. Another easy peasy strain, ideal for beginners and ideal for masters looking for a quick and easy plant. Extending veg could get some bumper crops of big chunky blobby flowers, that won't fail to impress if done right.
Newbie warning - this one packs a punch! Being a cross between Jack Herer and AK47, I wouldn't expect anything less! I rated this one at 19 out of 20 on my "strength scale" for good reason! Will cause forgetfulness, introversion, relaxation, energy, munchies, pain relief, muscle meltdown and with a touch of edginess just to keep things interesting, all at the same time and can be a bit of sensory overload, especially for "lite" or new inhalers. You have been warned! AWESOME strain.
Again, boringly simple to grow, set and forget! Training would see potentially huge yield as it has great flowering branches, all the way back to the main stem and a monster crop or SCROG could really impress. Like moderate high nutes in veg and in flower. Has beastly genes and is a "cannaseur" strain, everyone should grow this one at least once in their career, unless you really, really prefer gentle couchlock. this strain may prove too "sativary" for some, with your mind going a million different directions all at once with no let up for a good 2 hours or more. Experienced tokers only!
Very relaxing strain, not too strong and not too weak, but with enough punch to keep most happy. Perfectly balanced and a "functional" effect, but probably more of an evening smoke rather than a morning smoke due to the super chilled out factor. Another nice all round strain.
Straight forward easy peasy grow, as expected from anything with the Sweet Seeds label on it. No issues with bugs or other nasties. Prefers moderate feeding from start to finish, with a bit of extra P/K during flowering really helping with the chunkiness factor. Could be grown SCROG or SOG, she is a versatile plant that would be suitable for all skill levels, even newbies would have no trouble obtaining a good harvest of potent and pleasing flowers simply and quite quickly.
A few home bred strains, hybrids from commercial strains, containing a mix of Satori, Krystalica and California Dream from Mandala Seeds crossed with a male G13 Widow from Mr. Nice Seedbank. All proved excellent outcomes, mainly head trips as per my preference, with the newly named "West Coast Widow" (the Cali Dream cross) proving a beautiful fruity and intense, but balanced effect. The Satori cross is a rocket ship to infinity and beyond, while the Krystalica cross is somewhere in between, a big mind trip, but at the same time, very grounding. Looking forward to further grows and doing some "pheno hunting". BTW, Mandala rock with well selected genetics and stable and productive plants that never fail to satisfy. You won't find any Dosi Cookies Zkiitlez OG Glue here, but landrace based cannaseur genetics that are pure and how pot used to be before the THC wars began. Mandala had achieved that in their own quiet way, basing their strains and breeding philosophy of only breeding with "the best of the best" and were "pheno hunting" while the industry was still in diapers. Well worth checking out by discerning home breeders looking for gems. Sensibly, you won't find and effing autos there!
There also is a "Orange Thai Widow", a cross between the G13 pure male and a Sweet Seeds "Cream Mandarine XL Auto", that proved to be normal, that is not automatic and not early/fast flowering type, but a beautiful fruity and chunky crowd pleaser wherever I went! Wish I had more! Might be time next Spring!
All were super easy to grow, no surprises, I chose wisely! (pat, pat, pat!) No issues with bugs or other nasties, but with a biodynamic property, I expect to be in harmony with nature! Really looking forward to Spring and doing some more research, but with 50 odd home bred strains, it can be difficult deciding what goes where in the limited area of the "secret garden". A tip for others, planting after the Summer Solstice will give you smaller plants that just grow, flower and mature pronto, with no delay to flowering that some early plantings can possess, and there is no diminution in quality, only in quantity. I have found this method allows me to grow many various plants in the same area that can only support a few early planted types. This gives vastly more research ability and breeding stocks to chose from and also allows a few new strains to be tried for performance before going all out in the next grow, rather than growing a new type and then realising that you had wished you never invested all that effort into a plant you do not like. Beware though breeding is addictive, creating your own strains is a bit like "playing God", but with an understanding of genetics (thanks Robert!) and a bit of forethought as to what you deem would make good parent plants, your own hybrids can match the best of what is out there and often surpass some of the muck that some breeders see fit to take your money for, rather than feeding the pigeons!
And as always,............
Hope this helps,.........

Nice all round smoke, with a great balance between sativa energy and indica relaxation. Perfect strain for new smokers as it is so pleasant with no nasty surprises or peaky ups and downs, really a "Goldilocks! strain. Gives you an initial burst of enthusiasm followed by a state of contented bliss.
Again, a straight forward grow, a little longer in the flowering cycle due to its Sativa percentage, but otherwise almost grows itself. Big chunky blobs for flowers, also a good candidate for SOG, starting with clones would drop 3-4 weeks off the entire cycle.
Firstly your plants are looking so pretty
and wow so many strains, i see you too like to enjoy the various tastes :D
Secondly
Thank you for your answer to my grow question regarding seeds
A friend of mine responded to me on whatsapp quickly telling me they are not seeds which made me delete my question but I was still able to see your answer
I just wanted to find a spot to say thank you for taking the time to put my at ease!!
Again thank you
Organoman
