Finally back to the garden after 4 weeks away. They were really in need of love by the time I got back to take care of the garden. BIG NEWS! Now running a California Lightworks Solarxtreme 500 as my main light. Will add a second SX500 light into the room once I start flower. Hit the LST on the again and just making sure they are getting fed and lots of love. Will have to push back my starting flower by another few weeks. See how the recover

She’s in the small tent now with the more mature PT plant. Once I harvest the PT, this big girl will get the entire 2x3 tent. I think she will fill in nicely and has shown lots of vigor. Nice even tops for the most part with a few smaller branches straggling behind. The PT is almost ready to chop and then it’s this one’s time to shine. I haven’t been feeding her heavily, I may up her nutes soon. The other white widow clone in the larger tent was lollipopped as well as monster cropped like this one was so I’m excited to compare the two techniques side by side to see which buds I like better. I selectively crossed all female strains with my male plant who is in a separate room from the girls. Branches marked with a green tie are pollinated. The male was originally in the tent these girls are in so I’m hoping I removed him in time. If not I may have some random seeds in these buds. I did spray the tent down between plants but I’m unsure if water really renders pollen unviable. Regardless, seeds are a good thing... all these girls are in flower because it is my last grow. Here’s to hoping I get decent bud and some neat seeds for the future whenever I am able to grow again. 🌱👩‍🌾🏼

Happy with progress flipped the switch today

Another flying week, it's crazy how fast life is going you guys !! But also another beautiful week for her, she is doing such a great job, her buds just keep getting fatter and I have to support them more and more. 🙏🔥🤤 so yeah nothing to complain really so happy days my friends !! 😎🙏🔥💪 Wauw ok ok I started the flush but what a disaster is this. All the branches are just to heavy, trying to support them with bamboo sticks but man this is going to be a long week flushing my friends !! ---‐---------------------------------------------------------- 1x Blue Dream - Humboldt 3x Dedovorede Haze - Humboldt -------------------------------------------------------------- Marshydro 100x100x180 tent #1 Marshydro fc3000 G-tools 125mm with fancontroller 420m3/uur Day temperature: 22.5°c - 24.0°c and 50-65 % Night temperature: 19.0°c - 21.5°c and 55-65 %

Day 29-06/05/22 we have flowers!!!! Here we go hopefully gets a lot bigger than it is now 😂 Day 32-09/05/22 everything looking good gonna start giving the bloom nutrients next watering Day 35-12/05/22 everything looking good ! I do think she should be bigger tho idk

Week 22 of our painful result on the mothers. Reveg. Is full on and the plants are all trying desperately to figure out how to flower again. A couple days ago I was resolved to the fact that this cycle of mothers was not going to be anywhere near our acceptable standards for a high quality bud harvest. We lamented and cried a little…. Then we got ridiculously high to numb the pain…. And then I had a brilliant thought! The whole purpose has been to pollinate clones this whole time. Now that our stable of clones are well into rooting and reveg. We can simply use the mothers for breeding instead and salvage a harvest of high quality buds with the clones! It’s not an ideal situation and will result in less smokable buds but that said (and as per the outdoor photos), quantity won’t be a problem this year as usual😉. I figure a week or two to see what happens with em and we’ll commence the sperm spray😎. We’ve also taken some additional steps and commenced with impregnating the Spliff strawberry on a couple of select branches. This plant is proving a beauty as expected - even despite a little fasciation she’s a monster🤩🤩. Method - we placed some pollen into a brown paper bag (both some SOG in one and some 707 in another. - we marked 2 branches with zip ties to keep track of which pollen is where. - we wrapped the branches in each bag and twisty tied it closed to the stem base for about 12 hours. - after remove the bags and to prevent further pollination on the rest of the plant we sprayed down the pollinated branches and then the entire plant with a light mist of water. When ur outdoors this isn’t perfect science and there will be some additional seed that pops out elsewhere. Regardless, it’s a guarantee the 707 is viable but I’m none too sure about the Skywalker stuff. It may have been subjected to moisture while in storage and could be inert at this point. No telln for a few weeks🤞. The dutchy system, despite significant time to set up has been better than expected - all the plants are happy, added a Skywalker clone to the mix for flowering as well. They seem to be taking to the Druid nutes just fine. Great system and she’s pretty much on cruise control right now👌. All told - the pollen chuck is not yet a complete failure. We’re definitely gonna have some cross beans - they only question that remains is how many different strains. Thanks again for hanging with the longest grow ever👍👊. Background/Repetitive Nonsense These plants will be the two mothers this growing season that will be utilized for stage 2 of the pollen chucking project. We’ll be taking clones and stressing the genetics for some fem. pollen using colloidal silver. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with landrace genetics, we’re effectively skipping initial hybrid crossing and stabilization, going straight to the polyhybrid mix. I call it the shotgun approach to selective, unvetted and amateur breeding on a micro scale😉. These 2 parent strains will form the basis for 8-10 different F1 polyhybrid combinations and a further S1 back cross of each of the mothers. Not only should we be able to preserve the genetics for both mothers in feminized form but we’ll also be running an entire family of new hybrids after seeding out clones from each on the initial lineup of this summers photoperiods. Method is pretty simple here; once we’ve got our pollen off the two mothers we’ll be clipp’n clones on 4 select strains that have proven results from various respected breeders. We’ll be using those for pollination purposes in what is expected to be a 10 plant recirculating Dutch bucket hydro system. ***Update*** The feminization process didn’t take at all with the strawberry or the Skywalker so it’ll be reg. Seed crosses with only Skywalker and some other 707 Headband that we have in the vault. ********* Strain details: Parent strains for self pollination - Skywalker Kush by Reserva Privada Classic kush effects and earthy aroma. The strong kush element of this cultivar will compliment any cross. - Spliffs Strawberry by Spliff Seeds Incredible mix of flavourful terpenes and hard hitting high THC. She’s got some Herer as well as some Diesel in ‘er so an obvious choice for any cross as well. ***UPDATE*** The strawberry had to come out of this breeding run to wait for a better mother that hasn’t been attacked by aphids. It’s been a tough battle this season and we’ve had to make a couple of heartbreaking sacrifices already. Parent Strains for cross pollination ***UPDATE*** We added another 2 strains to the mix just in case we need to spot swap for some more variety. - Ghost Train by AMS Seeds A cross of Alien OG x Ghost Train Haze. Never tried the strain but I’ve heard only good things. This one might be worth mixing with the Strawberry so we’ll see how it goes. ***UPDATE*** Sadly - the ghost train turned out to be an auto so cloning her out as part of the breeding project is a no-go. Really disappointed about this but at least we still have a ready backup strain on the lost coast og to take her place. - Boogie Nights by AMS Seeds A cross of Kalijah, aka afghani/skunk/diesel/blue heaven X Juanita, aka NYC Diesel/Reina Madre). No idea here so naturally I’m interested😉. ************** - Lost Coast OG by Emerald Triangle Pakistani Kush x Lemon Thai x Chemdawg #4. Essentially a classic, west coast combo of landrace kush genetics that Cali is famous for, mixed with hard hitting Chemdawg #4. ***UPDATE*** The Lost Coast is a winner of a plant. Still outdoors and in veg. Looks like it’s recovered from the aphid attack. Might consider trying to take another cut of this and just rooting it in a pot for pollination. At this point, what the hell and if we could salvage anything it would be a positive. ***** - Spliffs Blueberry by Spliff Seeds (Chocolate Thai x Afghani #1 x Highland Oaxaca) x Northern Lighhts Special. Only 1 bean of this left and the whole purpose is to blend the best of Spliffs Berry strains as a tribute. Awesome breeder and they’ve been very kind to us over the years. - Northern Light by Royal Queen Seeds NL means nuff said. A combo of 11 unknown strains believed to originate from the west coast of North America. This cultivar is a great take on these classic genetics and a perfect compliment to just about any cross. A biased fave of ours.👍 - White Widow by Seedsman Brazilian Sativa x South Indian Indica. This classic strain has been unluckily elusive for us the last couple years. We know the quality of seedsmans version of this cultivar having grown it in the past. Sadly, a very strong performer that never made it to harvest due to an uncontrollable aphid infestation. And we’re only at step 1.... still gonna need an assist with pheno hunting all of the crosses so if anyone’s interested in running the testers (when we finally get to that point) just let me know👍😎. Gonna be a Dope ass summer project and can’t wait to see it in full swing🤟. Thanks for stopp’n in y’all👊

Seeing LOTS of new growth this week already.

flushing... i am almost done...

Missed a few weeks due to laziness. Been quiet a bit of slow growth, and yet to see any colour in the the leafs yet. But still plodding along. Anyone grew this strain before??

It’s going well 😎

Another round of topping. Tied her all back to spread out for LST. Going to flip to flower next week. Used the Kushman technique and Supercropped all her stems every inch on the way up, without bending. Gives her muscles to flex <3

fungus gnat issue resolved with some Raid earth blends. Predatory mites deployed into the canopy to eradicate a 2 spotted spider mite bloom. Can't wait to plant this outdoors for the season.

Start flowering, nice week, nice weather. Speed grow yeah.

Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

01/23/2025 : a bit of yellowing last week but it seems OK now. AH may have eaten everything in its previous pot... Scrog net is already full after 5 days! I just added a bit of calmag and trace elements, autopot and biotabs will do the rest.

Aug.24 and another round of thunderstorms overnight produced more rain and heavy winds but luckily no damage this time around. 👍 Most girls have past the pre-flowering stage and are showing little buds coming in. Still stretching and growing like crazy tho. Gonna have some big momma's to deal with. 😲😥 Last week plants were given a good flush with r/o water @ 6.3 pH to get them ready for the flowering stage.👌 This week started Bloom nutrients by Future Harvest cycle/schedule week #1 August 27 wind storm came through snapping another lower branch from Blue Fire #1. 😢 I hope the stress doesn’t cause her to herm. Aug.29 winds are supposed to reach over 60 km/h today and into Sunday. Let’s hope mother nature isn’t too pissed off 💨 Trainwreck #1 with her 10 big colas👆 are getting very heavy and smells of sweet citrus and pine oh ya💪 Trainwreck #2 is a sativa dominant girl that looks nothing like her sister #1 even tho they came in a 5 pack from Canuk Seeds. Gotta love variety 😋 Aug.30th Super Skunk auto #2 got chopped today after noticing a teeny area of bud rot. 🤔 Main cola is as thick as my fist and weighs just over a pound. 🤘😝🤘

Sufro de lumbalgia desde hace 6 años,siempre fui una persona muy deportista,correr y jugar al fútbol siempre me ha hecho disfrutar de la vida,empecé a tener problemas con los isquiotibiales y al poco tiempo acabe con una lumbalgia,cada vez que hago un pequeño esfuerzo,como levantar peso del suelo,bolsas etc, siento unos pinchazos terribles, esta cepa de somango a pesar de ser autofloreciente me aporta pura vida,extremadamente efectiva a nivel físico,te quita cualquiera que sea tu dolor de un plumazo y también te aporta un buen mood como para ver tu peli favorita al final del dia,todo un auténtico placer.sin duda me encantaría cultivar esta cepa mas veces,aun tengo 3 mas, 2 de ellas también violetas. Espero wue os guste mi trabajo.he disfrutado mucho con esta genetica. 💚🤞🌱❤️💛
