hello all,
I figured it was time I started a journal to get to know everyone.
first, let me introduce the genetics. i purchased three packs five years ago from icmags server fund and made by a member, Highlighter. I ran one pack in Dec '18 and got 6 males and 1 female. I open pollinated and collected pollen and put seeds in the fridge and pollen in the freezer.
I got around to running the next two packs (30 seeds) last year but had an awful time with cobweb mold and only one survived. I felt gutted and damn near cried more than once when it was still fresh. but that one was flexing her f13 genes. she self topped and was growing two main stalks - one normal and one with extra Blueberry krinkle leaves. I was 100 percent sure something odd would happen like one branch would be male and one female but that wasn’t the case. I took clones from both sides to see if they would stay as they were, but the krinkle leaf side eventually grew out of it and it became impossible to tell them apart aside from the labels.
with only one plant making it and having saved pollen in the fridge I was just happy to get a female. she has all that I think you could want from this cross. she has a fermented pineapple, mango, and papaya smell that comes on early in flower then gives way to a sharp berry smell. she’s covered in frost and looks done at 8 weeks (haven’t had sinse yet so idk her harvy window yet). the only downside is the calyx:leaf ratio blows and requires a lot of trimming. if you are into that kinda thing - I’m not and she’s so frosty I just grind the leaves up with the bud bc it doesn’t matter.
I did find out she roots pretty good. I cut her down to about 1/3 her size and stuck a few branches in a 5 gallon bucket with about an inch of water in the bottom. 10 days later 7 of them have roots.
I dusted her and harvested seeds this spring but didn’t get nearly enough to share, so I’m doing it again. with the pollen I have being over two years old I was lucky to even get seeds the first time. I dont think I’ll get another shot at making f2s of this cross. gonna scrog her up and dump the rest of the pollen I have which is probably 4 or five grams.
so buckle up, hang on, and enjoy the ride with me to the moon.
