the UK Cheese x Blueberry X Mikado is a face melter, pollen chuck was done in 2011, have grown it out regularly since then but its seed count has dwindled to a low number, so earlier this year she was hit with Cannarado Barney Rubble(FPOG x Orange Cookies)pollen & here are the offspring, every bean planted has germinated, i plant more than 1 seed per jiffy to make up for the male to female ratio, so that if its 2 females in 1 i will cull the least desirable, if its 1 male & 1 female then the male is culled leaving the female, the unwanted plant's stems are sawn through just above soil level leaving the roots intact, added mycorrhizal/trichodermal treatments during grow cycle helps to thwart disease with this method
the Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies(OG x OGKB x Animal Cookies) mother of this cross is probably the most dense bud ive ever seen, even more dense than the grinder busting BOG Sour Bubble imo, here are the offspring of her cavort with Mr Barney Rubble, glad to see the kids are doing well!
hoping the Hazeman Mikado male in this cross with BOG's Sour Bubble speeds up the slow veg rate the SB is known for, day 19
don't know who the guitly party/ies are but somebody is really stanking up the place here, never smelt plants this age(31 days) approx 5"/13CM high in veg state emit such strong mature bud type odors, stronger than the original Rez Sour Diesel x Chemdog from days of yore, havn't grown a lot of these pollen chucks or MNS out before...anticipation builds in the hope of some rare gene combinations that are outstanding!
jiffies were planted into 1 gal pots a few days ago, these will be raised to approx 2' then 12/12, when sexed, females will be planted into 5 gal fabric pots H2 - IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99 Z3 - Paradise Seeds Sensi Star x Bodhi Goji OG
day 44 approx 10" high, growth a bit slow due to cooler weather, another 10+ days then flip Y1 - GDP x C99 x Hazeman Mikado U2 - Greenpointseeds Orange Blossom Special x Bodhi Goji OG MKS - Mr Nice Master Kush Skunk N - UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Cannarado Barney Rubble *brown marks on leaves are spillage of seaweed formula T3 - BOG Sour Bubble x GGG Bright Moments H2 - IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99 Z3 - Paradise Seeds Sensi Star x Goji OG
the 1st pic is the pollinated mother(Hazemans Mikado) bearing seeds from a GGG Bright Moments male the pic below are the offspring, showing good germination rate, fast growth & stability in phenotype, excited about this cross! the Cannaventure GSC mix x Cannarado Barney Rubble(FPOG x Orange Cookies) pictured below have approx 15% deformity rate, though the plants that grow to a healthy state yield dense solid clusters of very nice bud
flipped to 12/12 today, plants approx 20" high, was going to wait till they were bigger but since there are many untested didn't want to get caught out with some real stretchy types with the limited height(6') issue these 3 different BOG Sour Bubble crosses are not quite up to the speed of the others in veg growth, but definitely not as slow as the original SB's
heres one of the G-13 Skunk at 18 days flower approx 3' high, her sisters are similar? the Mr Nice Master Kush Skunk are throwing a lot of males & herms with a few of the girls, so i wont be growing that out again, the Critical Skunk & Shark Shock are going ok tho
day 22 flower, approx 3'-5' high, taller types are IHG Cactido x Cannarado Barney Rubble, very high female to male ratio & no herms(so far), this chuck is looking promising IHG Timeless Montage x Cannarado Barney Rubble approx 4" high exhibits virtually no branching with a few 5" lowers to present an almost straight Totem pole likeness and a strong stem Cannaventure Pure Raspberry Kush x Mosca C99 x Cannarado Barney Rubble is the strongest smelling plant out of everything else, with a thick sickly sweet syrupy odor, also one of the fastest in maturation, though looking like a medium yield
update on Mr Nice types - Master Kush Skunk; high male to female ratio approx 60%, with 3 herming females at 28 days Critical Skunk; average male to female ratio with 2 herming females found G-13 Skunk; same as Critical Skunk Shark Shock; same as Critical Skunk disappointed that the only 4 strains of Mr Nice being grown out are herm types, there have been no real stressors to account for this event, the Shark Shock & Master Kush Skunk are looking really nice with early good bud formation(pics tomorrow), i thought Mr Nice would have been on top of the herm thing at this stage of their history? yet for me these will be the last of that brands wares i grow out, have 0 time for herming plants, the pollen chucks are fairing much better percentage wise regarding herm issues
Mr Nice Master Kush Skunk approx 3' high, nice strong plant with a fast budding process, alas the herm factor puts this one on the 'do not grow again' list
IHG Timeless Montage x Cannarado Barney Rubble on left next to GGG Bright Moments x Bodhi Goji OG approx 4' high day 34 flower, unusual branching on the right plant with a very slow flower process making this type a possibility for well past 70 days ripening type, doubt if the Bright Moments x Goji OG will be a keeper because of this trait(some leaf tip browining on the IHG cross caused by overdose CalMag)
second wave plantings today of - GDP x Mosca C99 Sour Diesel x Chemdog x Romulan X Mosca C99 IHG Timeless Montage x Cannarado Barney Rubble IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99 IHG Dolato x Barney Rubble IHG Cactido x Barney Rubble Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies x Barney Rubble Cannaventure Pure Raspberry Kush x C99 x Barney Rubble this lot will be left to natural outdoor light cycles & expect to be finishing them up approx march 2019, they will be grown out in 15gal-30gal fabric pots with 80%coco/20% perlite with coco nutes
always stealing Ma's wooden clothes pegs for other uses like holding supercropped stems in place with this UK Cheese(original Big Buddha UK Cheese regs) x Blueberry(early Dutch Passion) x Mikado(Federation) x Cannarado Barney Rubble day 35 flower approx 4', first time grow of this pollen chuck & its looking promising as a keeper with nil herm(so far), high female to male ratio + overall good health & vigor
this UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Cannarado Barney Rubble is looking like she has got those qualities needed for good medicine IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99
IHG Cactido(Cactus x Do-si-dos) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(FPOG x Orange Cookies) day 40F, this pollen chuck is looking to be the prime strain of last seasons breeding session, no herming, high female to male ratio, great vigor & bud formation etc...really happy with this one
IHG Cactido x Cannarado Barney Rubble exuding a chemical lemon fuel set of terpines, nice dense popcorn type nugs, day 42F, no idea how many more days left just scored some beans from seedboutique(my go to bank during the 2000's), main purchase were the 3 packs of Blueberry crosses, freebies are the Kong & White Fire Alien x Mullumbimby Madness, always wanted to try the Mullem strain so happy to obtain these this supercropped Cannaventure Pure Raspberry Kush x Mosca C99 x G.A.S. Cherry sherbet still carries through with strong traits of its Pink Champagne original mama + with that sickly sweet berry syrup terpines a supercropped IHG Cactido(Cactus OG x Do-si-dos) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(Orange Cookies x FPOG) pheno #1 IHG Timeless Montage(Mendo Montage x Do-si-dos) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(Orange Cookies x FPOG) with dense large calyx, this one takes after the papa Barney pheno #2 IHG Timeless Montage(Mendo Montage x Do-si-dos) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(Orange Cookies x FPOG) with standard type of bud formation, this pheno follows its mama Timeless Montage HG Timeless Montage(Mendo Montage x Do-si-dos) x GDP x Mosca C99 day 44F
