Hello everyone, this will be the thread where I post my daily hijinks. I grow mainly outdoor on my land, but I also run an indoor and a greenhouse grow for an old gentleman. I am a true seed whore, I make thousands every year and try to work from my own stock as much as possible. I love all cannabis, but the jars that get smoked most heavily are the skunky ones.
Currently I’m working on pheno hunting a few of my seed lines, cloning seedlings as soon as possible and throwing the clone into flower right away.
Here are some photos so everyone can see what I’m working with!
Here’s the newest batch of babies. Multi-planted into pots by strain until they are large enough to clone off of. Also a pot from a month-ish ago that I just tossed a handfull of seeds into, ready to clone.
I bought a 24 pack of autoflowering seeds and these 3 made it…got lucky with a boy and two girls. I hope to breed these with my favorite photo period plants and make auto versions of everything. It will be exciting to see what the seeds do when sown directly in the ground.
She’s a cross I made last year of Hillbilly Skunk and Ethos The Vineyard. The Hillbilly Skunk I have taken four generations on my own after purchasing off of strainly. The lineage is Dominion Skunk crossed to Bodhi’s Appalachia Super Skunk. My favorite phenos have a used transmission fluid smell to them. Very stinky. The Vineyard smelled like crunch berries so I’m excited to see what comes out.
I hope you can grow outdoors soon. It’s truly the way to do it. Nothing like seeing the plant out in the environment. Not to mention the absolute ease of growing in the ground. My soil happens to be extremely fertile so I pretty much do pruning maintenance and that’s it. They grow themselves. I have a small creek about 50 feet away at the treeline that creates a nice water table in the soil.
I culled a few males that showed in the back of the garden. I’m flush on seeds at the moment and am focused on having even more variety of flower come harvest time than I did last year. So far this years Hillbilly Skunk generation looks pretty consistent, and very stout. The female ratio seems to be very high in the seeds as well.
I have so many plants growing at the moment at so many places that it’s hard for me to remember to take photos. And then harder to keep them straight after in order to show them here with explanation.
Here’s the aftermath of the mole that I’m at war with… I planted a line of AG Northern Lights #2 F2s. 10 of them. 3 came up. Biggest and strongest gets hit by the mole…
"Try marigolds, alliums, fritillarias, daffodils, garlic and shallots".
Dot them all throughout your garden, like the stars in the sky.
“Castor bean plant also works, but it’s poisonous and should not be used anywhere around pets or children.”
“Coffee grounds have an overpowering smell that deters moles, so place them in a few of the tunnels or mounds to drive them off. You can also spread them over the top of your garden (this is what we did) as it’s perfect for your garden and makes an excellent fertilizer.”
Grounds are not acidic; the acid in coffee is water-soluble so the acid is mostly in the coffee.
Coffee grounds are close to pH neutral (between 6.5 to 6.8 pH).
My small creek in the back has a nice bridge for vegging plants. Might name it Shit Creek since that’s what I’m up with all these plants…I’m the cheapest man I’ve met so I’m running into soil shortage for up-potting.
