aaaaaaaaaaaand the results are in on the new pollen chucks recently grown out, the below passed & made the grade - Best listed from top down - Paradise Seeds Sensi Star x Bodhi Goji OG IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99 UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Cannarado Barney Rubble IHG Cactido x Barney Rubble Cannaventure PRK x Mosca C99 x Barney Rubble BOG Sour Bubble x Hazeman Mikado Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies x Barney Rubble the above offered nil herm tendency, high female to male ratio, overall good health & plant structure with great taste & potency. the rest failed for one or more reasons such as herm tendency, poor vitality, genetic mutations etc * sad to see the GGG Bright Moments crosses failed in this test, potency is there but all its offspring have poorly formed buds & a large variation in growth patterns...non desirable. also disappointed most of the Hazeman Mikado crosses were not up to scratch either, though at the end of the day stoked with the top 7
3rd wave to be planted 15/1/19 - proven chucks - IHG Cactido x Cannarado Barney Rubble IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99 Paradise Seeds Sensi Star x Bodhi Goji OG UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Cannarado Barney Rubble Cannaventure PRK x Mosca C99 x Barney Rubble GDP x C99 Sour Diesel x Chemdog x Romulan x C99 test grows of recent pollen chucks - Trichome Jungle Ginger Bread x Cannarado Barney Rubble Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies x G.A.S. Cherry Sherbet also to be planted out types for new pollen chucks - to be used as studs - Archive Faceoff OG Bodhi Space Monkey Bodhi SSDD the Faceoff OG was originally intended for stud of various cookie crosses which was to come at a later date, but fearing the Faceoff may lose germination rate they will be grown out now & selfed, as will SSDD. the best females from the above 7 pollen chucks will also be pollinated
** the 4 Mr Nice strains grown out failed in the herm department, though after initial burst of early herm pods were removed none returned, all grew well except the Critical Skunk which seemed slow & pale in general, most had very good yields, yet since the herm factor is present none will be grown out again, since these wont be grown out again no smoke test was performed. no further interest in this banks wares except the SSH which is in the larder. Shark Shock Critical Skunk Master Kush Skunk G13 Skunk
wasn't sure if the Archive Face Off OG BX2 would germinate but 10 out of 13 have already, so in an effort to make a rough copy of Archive's Scooby Snacks, these 2 old stock Platinum Cookies types will be crossed with the Face Off
Night Terror OG - 5 out of 12 germinated, ok cos they were getting some years on those beans, decent females will be wearing Bodhi's Space Monkey, SSDD & Archive's Face Off OG BX2 pollen
pollen chuck types are coming along ok, surprising to see the only one which had 100% germination rate were the old stock Dynasty Platinum Huckleberry Cookies pictured below beside SinCity Platinum Delights Archive Face Off OG BX2 & Rare Dankness Night Terror OG Bodhi Space Monkey x 2 packs, bad germination rate Bodhi Blueberry Hashplant & Sunshine Daydream
thanks very much, its only through living in a very remote area which allows this type of grow, impossible anywhere near the coast with thorough copter search grid patterns
2nd wave going ok now though many were lost when a heatwave hit directly after transplanting, testing these plants that are in larger fabric pots that have not been used here before, pots range in size between 15gal/56ltr - 30gal/113ltr, plants are between 3' - 5' high and just starting to bud. IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99 IHG Timeless Montage x Cannarado Barney Rubble IHG Do-Lato x Cannarado Barney Rubble - first time grow of this one Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies x Barney Rubble Cannaventure PRK x C99 x Barney Rubble
casualties with breeding stock for upcoming pollen chuck have occurred so some more were planted today to fill the vacuum... 6 x Dark Horse Genetics - Original Bruce Banner regs 10 x Norstar Genetics - Dirty Banana(Castro Kush x Banana OG) new release regs 11 x OG Raskal - Fire Alien Master regs - being older stock not counting on many germinating
bad weather conditions wiped out many of the above seedlings, regardless here's a positive outlook on some others growing out atm IHG Timeless Montage x Cannarado Barney Rubble, she carries through with the fathers strong citrus taste & aroma, stone is no weak sauce either another IHG Timeless Montage(Mendo Montage x Dosidos) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(Orange Cookies x FPOG) she's a winner with an short flower time, overall hardiness to the local conditions & fits the requirements in the quality of smoke, bag appeal dept. etc
these 2(IHG Timeless Montage x Cannarado Barney Rubble) have been fed exclusively with the 2 packets only pictured below, overfed for a min but got it under control soon after
6' GDP x C99, few more weeks to go, very dense buds on this type, be sad when the last of these seeds are gone! #1 chuck alround the below upcoming pollen chucks approx 3' high will be brought to 12/12 in the next week consisting of - Archive - Face Off OG SinCity - Platinum Delights Dynasty- Platinum Huckleberry Cookies Bodhi - SSDD " " - BBHP " " - Space Monkey Rare Dankness - Night Terror OG GDP x C99 Cannaventure PRK x Mosca C99 x Cannarado Barney Rubble UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Barney Rubble
Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies x Cannarado Barney Rubble, coming down soon Cannaventure PRK x Mosca C99 x Cannarado Barney Rubble(3 pics below) also to meet the axe shortly, if the leaves look dusty then they are...dust storms blown in from the central Australian deserts during summer gives everything a coating, no real rain to wash it off The Cannaventure PRK offered mixed results for many, yet the PRK carries through well after being outcrossed with its thick syrupy terpines & colors still present
boys being separated & readied to be taken to isolation area away from the females, originally 3 different males were to be used in this seasons pollen chuck - Archive Face Off OG Bodhi Space Monkey Bodhi SSDD though since the SinCity Platinum Delights & Dynasty Platinum Huckleberry Cookies males are looking good too a place will be found for those to spread their genes as well SinCity Platinum Delights Bodhi Space Monkey Bodhi SSDD Dynasty Platinum Huckleberry Cookies Archive Face Off OG BX2
3 x Bodhi SSDD females 3'-4' high, will be placed near suitable males in about 1 week, just culled 3 x SinCity Platinum Delight girls who hermed badly, have a nice looking male of the same strain though doubting now whether to use it for breeding since his sisters hermied for no real reason, why bother with types that herm when there's plenty of fire out there that doesn't?
IHG Cactido x Cannarado Barney Rubble - nice overall pollen chuck this one, 10gal fabric pots suit the 4'-5' grow height here UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Barney Rubble - a fast developer with a knockout stone have some other girls of this strain ready to be pollinated with Face Off OG, Space Monkey & SSDD pollen mmmmm
all females to be pollinated are out in selected areas with their individual studs...meanwhile back at the ranch UK Cheese x Blueberry x Mikado x Barney Rubble fattening up nicely, daylight hours are below 12/12 now though buds are forming well with still high temps 30c/86f+ these plants though outdoors have not seen a drop of rain out here in the Badlands, often they can grow their entire life cycle without getting wet...great for those dense types, though the super dense can still get budrot no matter what Cannaventure Pure Raspberry Kush x Mosca C99 x Cannarado Barney Rubble - the PRK still carries through with its thick raspberry syrup terpines & purp to the core pheno's
@ 2m/6' this IHG Cactido(Cactus OG x Dosidos) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(FPOG x Orange Cookies) is stacking well & throwing out some nice frost
