5 weeks and here male isn’t even flowering yet.
Yeah I want to see what f2 and f3 look like and do some selecting. A lot of people like the lemon/pine scent in diesels but I do not, so I’m going to try to get rid of it and aim for the sulfur burnt rubber terpes. In also looking to get a bit more of the dark leaf and red/purpling

A possible out/incross to sour diesel. With a few backcrosses is in the plans but I’ve got to run a few versions to decide on. In the running is Dr greenthumb ecsd, cali connection sour d fem, cali connection sour d regular, and a few versions of sssdh. I’m not worried about herm issues with the fems because that can be worked out in a couple generations

I know I’m chatty tonight but I’m also thinking that I may have to actually make my own sour d to cross with it. This strain will take a few years I’m afraid unless I can expand beyond my legal plant limit.
Here’s hoping Nevada has small scale licencing in 2018!

Hey man I agree, you put so much into this it would only make sense to seek out the traits and genetics in the sour d as well. gone fishing

If I can pull off 25 plants I think I can Have it done by 2020 but I should be able to have solid genetics to give away. For testing by summer 2018 depending on uniformity.

It really is a labor of love. Nice to know people like you and other breeders take the time to do it right!
Im excited to try them out already… So when the testers are ready pretty please keep me in mind.

Yes! That’s why I came to overgrow!
The other website I hung out on are by and large against building on existing strains.
Normally I’d ask permission out of courtesy but the breeder of chem 91#12 is notoriously abusive to his customers in general, to the point of violence as I’ve heard… I don’t like bullies, and since that person likes to charge horrendous prices, I’ve decided to johnny appleseed his genetics to friends and relatives for free! I may sell my crossed version at some point but the original 91#12 line will be freed back to the people

I like gu~ over at greenpoint. He has a great stardawg male and crosses it to clone onlies so regular dudes like you and me can get the genetics consigned to the “elites”.
His prices have gotton high though.
If you read the description on copper chem he clearly states its a strain meant for breeding.
I’ve got to get over my chem obsession!

This is an early incarnation of my space bucket project. Works well for keeping clones or moms I’ve got 35 and 45 gallon tubs running now but these are old pics.

I have access to the 55 gallons, a really unlimited amount… Got me thinking over here

The trick is getting em out to work on them. I’m using an old hippy looking plant hammock/hanger which pulls the branches in, so you can lift em out.
If you put hooks on the side the plant can be lifted up and suspended.
That sounds like using your head… How often do you take them out…every water or do you water inside

I’m working on rigging up a system using an automatic dog water dish but I do like to take them out and check for issues biweekly.
I’d like to do how to threads on my diy cobs and buckets but, a lot of its red neck engineering and I don’t want anybody to get electrocuted LOL, (if that’s offensive, I am half red neck ; ). I have started a fire or three in my day.
Rule number one, electric devices and wires ABOVE water!!!

Born and bred in Southern Texas. I was deeply entrenched with redneck wisdom. What do you call a redneck with all their teeth? A young’un.
