Hey y’all, so I’ve decided to try my hand at spreading the love around!!!

Anybody wanna do some pheno/Geno hunting??

Like AKBean Brains n dunno which of his packs to try??

Got your own crosses or lines you’d like to learnr about and let me help test???
…

Well you’re in luck!! we might be able to work out a fun little experiment and have a fun project to work on as a community!!

1/7/23 EDIT
some people have been pming me requesting certain packs from the photo and though I understand what cause the confusion I’m posting this here to help prevent that in the future messages:

THIS PROJECT IS AN ONLINE, SOCIAL GARDEN WHERE WE ALL POST PICS OF THE WEEKS PROGRESS AND DISCUS THE DIFFERENT PHENOS, TRAITS, COLORS, SMELLS AND FLAVOURS OF THE MYSTERY BEANS DAVE GRACIOUSLY SENT US!!

…

…**original post, was somewhat off topic in thread it started on can be viewed at this link… don’t reply there though!!

HEERRRRRREEEEE WE GOOOO**

But the gist is this :

I have a lot of AKBean brains mystery genetics if any of y’all woukd like a pack… Dave didn’t know what any were other than crosses off his for sale list the last 2/3years…

One thing I AM asking when I gift n trade them is please only people who wanna pop em soon… If you can’t for some reason I can send you crosses made with em in fall but Id like to try something with these… Got about 100 total I believe. Far too much for me to flower out!

Studying them and learning from each other, I think we’d get at least in the ballpark of what strains they are…

I think that not only sounds fun but like a great lesson on diverse canna genes in a single garden…

Dunno how familiar you are with AKBeans lineup but it’s diverse for a single grower, even more interesting to me since lives in Alaska he has never grown a full outdoor season so I’d assume that he has never had accidental cross-pollination, having a sealed indoor room and proper ventilation.

Growing up in Northern California(Shasta n Humboldt counties) Ive seen a lot of cases of random pollen of questionable genetics :rosette::earth_americas: floating around the world knocking up ladies like a traveling troubadour with a banjo string made of golden twine :banjo: :moneybag::trophy:… Pops up just when you don’t want…

Example I use is a purebred Doberman is pinned up in the backyard and in heat… Someone brings the top dobie stud in 3 states for an large fee,because he’s a proven male… SURPRISE! the puppies your purebred Doberman mom spits out look like a poodle pup, a freaking Shar-Pe, and some kinda st Bernard …

You got yourself a damn Noah’s ark of k9s you DIDN’T want hitting youre girl… btw how’d the neighbors korgi get over a 4½ foot picket fence…

:man_mage::magic_wand::dog::dog2:=:poodle::service_dog::hotdog:

Lol I had too much fun with that analogy

That sounds like a fun little project. I’ll stick around to watch the fun.

Yeah I really need some serious time in the garden after many years out of the field…(hehehe)

I figured this was a great way to get a lot of experience with different genetics and yet also learning the traits of a certain family… I’m wondering if I clone all the plants and open pollinate them and then open pollinate the f2s if I could actually in a way work theae many different random cultivars into a stable strain with only a few phenos… I don’t know if it works like that at all but I figure if I just dedicated a few rooted clones to each cause I can get an idea of what’s possible without having to seed all my plants on a curiosity whim…

Got a couple of the clear bags full as a breeding homework project and I know someone out there has gotta find the idea at least a little interesting… 🤷

Hey thanks guys!!!

:pray::bowing_man::man_mage:
Yeah @shag n @Dirtron unfortunately I won’t have any photos of a grow myself until next month… mrs.s n I gotta visit her GMA n our old slab city freinds before going to quartzite n Tucson for :gem: gen shows n gem n jam festival …

Just a couple more trips we got to take to Southern California and then I get to hunker down in my woods like a guerilla soldier staking out invading troops…

even though I am SO EXCITED to start growing these things, I’ve killed too many plans in The last 5 years withoutn finishing one…

so I’m making sure that this season and 100% about everything n not gonna let excitement get the best of me!!

Are you interested in a trade for that purple fuzz bx?

I’ve got some seeds that I’m going to harvest in 2 or 3 weeks. They will be fresh but should still work.

Ice cream cake x goji og. Would like to see them grown, any interest? If not, no worries at all.

i hope this isn’t too off topic or i could delete this post.

@204medismoke

i F2’d some qrazy train 10 years ago and it was a major disappointment, maybe bad f1 selection but i also crossed it to sour diesel and it turned out alright.

Hey guys sorry I’ve been driving pretty much every waking hour for the last two days… finally back home from the bay and then visiting family in Redding for late Xmas and my dad’s birthday…(old bear is 66 and could wipe the floor with me, lol)

Anyways I got a bunch of envelopes and stamps so anyone who wants to be part make sure to PM me by the end of the month. Sending them all out the end of Jan so we can all start at the same time… which should be right after valentine’s day…

:love_letter::gift_heart::cupid:

I feel so popular, I get you all for my dates! Wish the varsity team could see me now! Bet they’d be jealous! (Haha I’m a dork, sorry.)
:nerd_face:

I’m so excited to see everyone’s plans and hopefully whoever gets the really amazing phenotypes will be able to either breed them or mail cuts to others or at least me haha… jk!
:envelope_with_arrow::mailbox_with_mail::seedling:

:evergreen_tree::axe::dash:

Oh great, now watch me get a bunch of weird hemp-y males or disappointing females and then everyone has pictures of their crazy crazy 3l33t clones, heh…
🤦🤷

I’m really excited about this project and can’t wait to tell Dave at AKBeans the deets! :spiral_notepad::bookmark_tabs::memo:

(He probably will not care at all but be very supportive and polite about it… dude is pretty quiet and stoic, it remind me of a spaghetti western cowboy like the OUTLAW JOSEY WALES or the main character from any of the classic Clint Eastwood films!);:clapper::tickets:

soooo ready for the winter to be over, how about the rest of yous guys(n gals) :snowflake::snowman_with_snow:

WHOS READY TO PLAY IN THE DIRT? :woman_farmer:

@Hellablaked i would be interested in running some of those akbean brains. I’ll send you a message.

Seems I’ve had a few folks misunderstanding my post… the photo is of my order that AK Bean had refunded last year after post office returned it… this time he resent it completely for free when he heard about our hardships in 2022!!

Though the packs WERE to me it’s STILL an expensive order that I have been thinking about and planning to grow for almost a year now… I can’t afford to give away my only supply of known genetics if my goal this year is as much breeding experience as possible… You can read 10,000 books on the subject and not know anything compared to DOING it yourself a few seasons and since I’m 12 years out of practice, I need as much learning material as possible…
What I wasn’t expecting was the clear bags he added of mystery seed. He says he doesn’t know how viable they are or what strains or crosses as they all came off his office floor where he packs he seed orders…

If y’all have seen his catalog, which most have I’m assuming (especially the people messaging me asking for specific packs…

THIS PROJECT IS A SOCIAL GARDEN WHERE WE ALL POST PICS OF THE WEEKS PROGRESS AND DISCUS THE DIFFERENT PHENOS, TRAITS, COLORS, SMELLS AND FLAVOURS OF THE MYSTERY BEANS DAVE GRACIOUSLY SENT US!!

so sorry for any confusion or excitement that misunderstandings might have caused…I truly wish I had it like that to mail you all full packs of your choosing but these are the ONLY professional packs I own currently and I just have them in the pic to show how amazing AKBean Brains is…

I’ll edit the beginning of the thread to add this and hopefully avoid this confusion.

I feel bad having to explain to folks that isn’t what my thread and project is about. 🤦🤷🙇

Many apologies and heartfelt blessings, my friends!

To everyone growing this year, indoor or out, autonor photo, bagseed or El33t clone… it’s a pleasure to be a part of OVERGROW!!

OK ENOUGH OF THAT…

HAPPY 2023 EVERYONE!

Now let’s have a great season!:man_dancing:
