well my brother is now here helping me get my greenhouse going. I like to make my seed under the sunshine whenever possible so I gotta get things going here. I have to manually light dep my plants and they go in the shed that my greenhouse attaches to for the 12 hour dark cycle.
A few of my plants have come home from my friends place who has been tending them since my accident.
I’ve been hunting out a top tier female from the remaining beans of my pet project Bubba Royale (P98 Bubba Kush x Long Valley Royal Kush). I have pared things down to 3 potential females for making a batch of S1. This girl right here has endured hell and back in my indoor room all winter and as soon as I gave her a bigger pot, favorable environment and eradicated her near death experience mite infestation… she just exploded with the vigor I want to see. Bubba Kush is a slow plant and not very branchy but the pairing with the LVRK male has produced a hybrid with excellent vigor, node production and responds well to topping/training.
This girl right here has all the hallmarks of a top tier gal… just have to flower her out and prove it. Her stem rub is sticky and smells like a tire fire with a sweet funk in the background.
I know that smell from previous knockout plants from the LVRK line up(mandelbrots LVRK)
Now those Fraser Valley Blueberry HP x Atomic’s Blueberry Northern Lights… torture tested all winter and these three ladies make the cut. Sticky stem rubs and blueberry based smells.
The males are on hand too but no pics today. They are still being revived from the winter’s torture chamber and I still need to finish IPM to rid the mites from them.
They were under 40W floro shoplights 6 feet above them for the last month on 24hr in 1 gallon pots… I sprouted them in december LOL So they have been thru hell and then some.
Anything I plan to make seeds with gets rigorous stress tested all winter and if what survives till spring “and” meets my checklist of traits… it will enter the breeding rotation.
I’m satisfied that these plants will produce some killer beans and hopefully try and get that blueberry taste/smell in the finished product.
Here’s the 3 females I will clone then bring in the indoor room to flip them with the males. Once the pollen is done flying I’ll return them to the greenhouse for the duration of flowering.
