If you’re still suffering from analysis paralysis, I’m gonna have to jump in again with Mango Zamalysis. :stuck_out_tongue:

I run photos, so it’s a different experience altogether, but I typically start seeing signs before they even go into flower. Depends how closely I’m looking, and how soon I’m flowering. The bigger the plant is, the easier it’ll be to tell. I did pick up a USB microscope recently that I’m hoping will make it a little easier for me to tell with the smaller plants, plus trichome porn. :drooling_face:

I’ve grown out some bag seed back in the day. Not from dispensary. I grew some super lemon Haze, and some purple hash plant that turned into some incredible buds. I guess you just gotta expect herms, or not knowing exactly what the father’s genetics are. Regardless, they both represented the buds I got them from pretty well. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

RoadKill Skunk Cookies, or RKSC, sprouted. Last time I ran this it went almost 100 days before I chopped, so she’s a long flowering auto for sure. I really really want this one to do good. Added bonus if this one smells like a Skunk or Cookies plant, but I’m not counting on it. The last one smelled and tasted a lot like blueberry muffins. I’d take that again if it isn’t going to be like either of its namesake strains.

I scored some goodies from someone on the Sebring trading thread. She was willing to trade both of the photo strains I asked for, and then tossed in a whole bunch of regular autoflower seeds too! I won’t @ her here, but cannabliss is a true OG. She really hooked me up. A couple things she sent me have Sour 60 as a parent strain, which is really badass. I have this dream of breeding a stupid fast auto. If I can find some that have S60 speed I’ll be beyond happy.

My NewBerry Auto is finally starting to have trouble supporting herself. I had to grab the little 1 gallon tester plant out of there yesterday for a drink. When I opened the vertical door zipper I was greeted by 3 branches from the NewBerry Auto just plopping out of the opening like “Hey, how’s stuff out here?” Seeds look to be moving right along. Should be a really nice pile of seeds when she’s all done. I’m gonna be popping one as soon as they’re ready. It’ll go into a 5 gallon fabric, maybe even the same container the NewBerry is in now, and then will be run in the tray with the Grape Slurri while she finishes up.

Speaking of my poor little Grape Slurri. She is trying SO hard not to break into full on flowering. She’s had those first preflower calyxes at the start of each node for a couple weeks now, I think. I haven’t really been keeping track. But she isn’t doing much else in the way of moving forward. Since I moved her to the 2x2 she has grown a little taller, and her branches are getting longer. If she doesn’t flip to full on flower in the next 5-7 days, she might actually be alright in the end. The way I figure, she’s got at least 30 days of full force flower in her once she does flip the switch. So if I can get her into the tray as soon as the NewBerry comes down in about 2 more weeks, she’ll be in a really good position to blow up and yield a decent amount. I was so bummed when I realized it wasn’t gonna get enough light and wouldn’t reach her full potential. I still feel like I wasted the seed by popping it when I did. Such is life though.

I need more square footage. And better wiring in this house. And more lights. Dammit. I have so much stuff I want to do and I just friggin can’t. Even if I was physically and mentally capable of doing it and keeping it all straight, I can’t do it. We rent, so I’m not about to upgrade the wiring or put in new lines or any of that. Electricity scares the heck outta me anyhow. We are in the process of looking for a new place, but even if we found a place today, moving is still months out, if it’s meant to happen. A legit grow space is high on the list of things we’re looking for in a new place, so at least my next spot will allow me more freedom. And can I take a minute to say how awesome my partner is? She doesn’t understand 95% of the things I ramble on about when it comes to this “hobby” we all share. But she at least understands how friggin HAPPY this makes me, and agrees that it gives me a purpose beyond my traditional family roles of dad and partner/husband. I couldn’t agree more.

Alrighty. I think that’s all I need to get out this morning. A few people have followed up with me and let me know their Pentagram seeds have landed. Hope to see some of those around and hopefully they don’t disappoint :pray:

This dang NewBerry Auto plant… She’s falling all over herself, which seems to be a trait with this cultivar. She just can’t support her own branches for whatever reason. Hopefully the Black Cream Auto helps that in the progeny. Today is exactly 21 days since pollen was applied. Getting close now.

Something I have not talked about or shared any pictures of lately, that pepino dulce plant. I almost killed it shortly after getting it into the tent. I think a combination of needing to be uppotted, too much light, and messed up nutrient load were the culprits. I tend to feed all other plants the same mix I feed my cannabis plants. I’m learning that isn’t always a great idea. She’s finally resumed new growth, and looks much happier in her new container. I’ve got 1 branch that looks like it’s ready to be taken as a cutting, so I need to read up on how to do that and get it done. If the first cutting takes root I will be doing more as they are ready, then figuring out how to ship them to people who want one. I dunno if one of those clone shipping kit thingies would be an option or not. I’m open to suggestions, if by chance you’ve any experience shipping bush/shrub/tree cuttings.

I’m really on the fence about releasing the seeds from this Twisted Puppy x Black Cream Auto cross. I keep forgetting to take pics of her because it’s a pain in the ass to get a decent pic of her due to her location. But I need to so I can show anyone that thinks they want some. They just don’t look right to me. She could throw on some last minute bulk. It is listed as an 80-85 day strain and today is only day 66. I’m not expecting much though, if I’m being totally honest. In hindsight, I really wish I’d used all the pollen on the NewBerry Auto and made as many seeds with her as possible. Such is life though. Maybe all the Twisted Puppy seeds won’t be messed up. Only time will tell. At least she’s a frosty freak of a plant though. I will get piles of resin in my trim bin while shucking seeds out.

I’m on the hunt for something with unique terps. I’m open to suggestions and/or trades to make it happen. Someone previously mentioned an auto strain called N.P.R., short for Nauseating Putrid Ruderalis, that they’d found somewhere. Coincidentally I had also stumbled across the same thing on Strainly, and sent a message to the person who posted the listing. Until just now, I’d totally forgotten about sending that message. I need to go read the reply. Anyways, yeah. If you currently have or have had an auto that you think smells disgusting, please tell me about it. What was the cultivar? What did it smell and taste like? Where did you get it, and can I also get it from the same place? How many days seed to harvest, approximately? Lastly, did it meet your expectations for grossness? I’m looking for something that smells like an automatic deterrent. If you were out walking around and smelled this smell, you’d avoid the area you think the smell comes from. That’s what I’m hoping to find. It’s a massive long-shot, I’m aware of that.

Probably gonna take a few pics later on today. If I think I can get all of the NewBerry Auto back into the tent, I’ll open both doors up and show off that whole mess. Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy I finally grew a decently large autoflower and will be getting a really solid yield from her, AND some fem seeds too! But dang, what a pain in the ass trying to keep up with her. I definitely should have done some training, and probably should have removed lots of lowers when she went into preflower. These are things I know, and things that would have helped me control this plant a little better. At the very least I won’t be running NewBerry again without my trellis net in place. She’s crazy vigorous and likes to branch out.

Happy Friday :blush:

Cheese Cookies Auto by Twisted Tree starting to turn purple

Same plant, from above

NewBerry Auto random branch back towards the corner. Didn’t want to let her spill out of the tent, so I didn’t open her side of the door. This branch did not get pollen on purpose, but I’m sure I’ll still find seeds all through this plant. Not super bad or anything, but I’m sure some grains floated away and got on spots I didn’t mean for it to. Oh well, more seeds to give away :sweat_smile:

That Cheese Cookies plant in the first 2 pictures is such a good little plant. I have not trained her at all and she’s making a really uniform canopy all on her own. I’ve done some light defoliation now and then to get light to her branch tops, but that’s it. And she’s turning purple all on her own too, since she’s no longer getting a dark period with cooler temps. I haven’t tried a stem rub on her yet, so I’m clueless as to smell at this point. But she is starting to kick out some little trichomes, so I’m expecting some kinda smells soon-ish. I’d be beyond happy to smell some cheesy funk in a week or so.

I ordered a pack of Twisted Cookies fem auto seeds. I really wanna do a Bx project with Cheese Cookies and hopefully find what I’m looking for. Something colorful, resinous, and really funky smelling. I can do it, I just need time and patience. The MSxZE F2 project has to come first, and it will. I’ll be starting those in a month or so, right around the start of the new year. And what a way to begin 2022, at least for me.

Today is 21 days since pollination. We’re coming into the home stretch. I’m checking the NewBerry Auto daily from here on. I need her to come down as soon as possible. She’s falling all over that poor little Twisted Puppy. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try to wrap a rope around her and pull her back or something, and get her off the other plant.

NewBerry Auto day 70 from sprout

Well, there she is. I dunno what exactly I’ve done to keep her standing, but she needed lots of help. Prior to today I hadn’t opened her side of the tent in more than a few days. I’ve unzipped the top and center to fold it down on her side, but not all the way. Went in there today to try and do something to get her up off the Twisted Puppy and when I opened her door, oh boy. She tried to fall all the way over, which would have seen her breaking at the soil. Luckily I was standing right there and braced her with my hip. Then I had to rig up a couple ropes, some bungee cords, and a yoyo clip to keep her standing. I even ended up taking off a whole lower branch and a couple really low secondary branches. I didn’t pollinate them on purpose, but I fully expect to find the odd seed here and there all throughout both these plants.

She isn’t looking too pretty in the leaves. At least at this point to pretty much anyone looking at my pics, it kinda looks like late stage fade hitting a little early on. But it isn’t, and we know that. It was most likely pH issues, due to overfeeding and a filthy reservoir. Lesson learned, and I will clean my tank weekly going forward. I think had I not been lazy and she didn’t suffer so much, I’d be looking at a truly massive yield. It’s still gonna be jars and jars and jars full, but there will be lots of it going to the trim pile because it’ll be pretty airy. I typically do not weigh my plants at harvest. Knowing how much is there doesn’t make me smoke it any slower/faster, and it doesn’t leave my house, so knowing that number is irrelevant. I do realize some people like to keep track so they know how efficient they’re being, but I’m not terribly concerned as long as I’m not going to the store every week spending $200 or more every time I go. I’m happy only going now for something I really want, rather than going because I have no other alternative.

So today is day 70 from sprout, and I wanna say like 23 or 24 days since pollination, next Monday makes 30 days. So we’re in the home stretch now. I can’t find any seeds by looking at the flower nodes I know got pollen, so I assume they’re buried in there, somewhere. I’m gonna let her go til it’s been at least 30 days since pollination, then she’s on day to day status. I like to talk to my plants daily in their last days, and I ask them if they’re ready to move on to their next plane of existence, and wait until I feel something in response. I’m a weird bastard, I know it. But I do believe that each and every living being has something inside of it, some call it a soul, others refer to it simply as consciousness. Whatever your word is, you likely know what I’m trying to say. I speak to anything I intend to “kill” before doing so, and ask if it’s ready to move on. If it gives me a bad or anxious feeling, or I feel nothing at all, I simply move on and ask another day. If it gives me a warm or relaxed or just positive feeling, I take that as “yes” and that it is ready to move on. It’s some real hippy shit, I know. But it makes me feel good. :relieved:

Okie dokie smokies. I’ll be around in a couple days to talk about how good these NewBerry buds smell as they begin to dry and throw off some stank. I’m so excited for these seeds from her. I can’t wait to get one started right away and see how they do!

Had to make one last trip to the store before the NewBerry comes down. I hate to do it, but I can’t be without something to smoke. I’ll lose my mind. So anyhow, at this store I went to, they had 2 different GMO crosses, and I am a total freak for anything with GMO in it, or if it claims garlicky terps. The first that caught my eye is Platinum Garlic, which is good, but tastes too much like POG for my liking. The effects are awesome though. Very relaxing smoke. If I could find a cut that had GMO terps instead of POG, I’d prolly run it and keep it around. The second GMO cross got me really excited when I saw the lineage. They called it “Garlic Snake Breath”, and it’s GMO x Mendo Breath. Holy crap, that stuff is potent. I really wanna get my hands on some of those beans now, even more so than I did already.

I’m thinking about bringing down the NewBerry tomorrow, no matter what she tells me. I really need that little Grape Slurri into the tray ASAP, and maybe see her grow a little more before flowering fully sets in. I’m not sure how she hasn’t fully flipped yet, but she’s hanging on. Longest vegging auto I’ve had yet, I think. She’s somewhere around day 50 and only has single calyxes showing. Whatever, I guess? :sweat_smile: I need that plant to do something, though, and she isn’t getting it done where she’s at now. I should never have popped that seed.

I’ll prolly drop in tomorrow with some pics. If I can manage to find time tonight, I might go in and start removing fan leaves while she’s still standing, just to give myself a head start on the work tomorrow. There’s a lot of friggin plant there, and its gonna take AGES to process it all. I’ll be hanging most of it, but some will be processed down into individual buds and put into my WeDryer XL. Other than the stuff I put in it getting flat on the side it lays on, the WeDryer works great, and it DOES handle the smell pretty good with its little carbon filter thingy. I still prefer hang drying, but it’s nice to know I can shove it all in that thing and it’s basically hidden from anyone in my house. I actually did have to do that last year, when the water heater took a dive and we had to call a plumber. Fun times. :sweat_smile:

Happy Saturday y’all :sunglasses:

Seeds look good to go!

9 Likes

Yesterday was one heckuva day, once I got rolling with the NewBerry Auto. When the light came back on at 9:00 I went in right away to dig out the first seed I could find to check viability. The one I found isn’t striped, but it’s clearly good to go. I want to start one as soon as I possibly can, but I’m not sure how soon I can start it. I think I read somewhere that popping fresh seeds is totally fine, and we mostly only dry seeds like we do so they ship and store better, and keep for longer. If I’m wrong and you know it, please let me know.

There’s so much pot from just this one plant. It took about 4.5-5 hours just to deleaf it all, and I was only going after fan leaves and really easy to reach sugar leaves. I’ve found that dry trimming works better for me, and involves a little less cleaning of my scissors. All jokes aside, I had to take an actual lunch break while processing this plant. Stopped when I was about two hours in and left for Taco Bell. :sweat_smile:

The three branches that are holding seeds are in my WeDryer, which should have them dry enough for seed shucking in 4-5 days. I might wait a little longer though, since she’s a fair bit more dense than other plants I’ve made seeds with. I’m thinking about making a “guess how many seeds and win a prize” post, somewhere, when they’re closer to ready. If I do, I’ll set it up so there’s a winner by weight, and a winner by quantity of seeds. I love giving stuff away, and I love love love “pick a number” guessing games. Not sure what exactly I’d offer as prizes, other than seeds, but I’ll figure out something cool. I do have a pH/EC pen and a TDS pen that I’m not using. I’d be tickled pink to see those go to someone that will use them.

The Grape Slurri. I dunno what to do with her. When I removed the container the NewBerry was in, a BUNCH of salt and nutrient residue from the outside of the container scraped off the fabric and into the water in the tray. I could see the little white crystal chunks in there and it didn’t look like anything I want to plunk a pot into. So, tonight when my old lady gets home, I’ll be pulling the Twisted Puppy out of the tray and cleaning the whole system, then reassembling the whole thing and mixing up 12 gallons of nutrient water to refill the res tank. Then, maybe, the Grape Slurri will start living tray life and actually do something with herself. Maybe.

I think that’s everything I needed to get out in regards to yesterday. I had so much fun watching that plant grow, despite the issues I caused her. I have a single fem seed left for straight NewBerry Auto, if anyone wants to try it before they buy it. I’d damn near start a fan-club if someone wanted to take that seed and run it alongside a NewBerry Black, for comparisons sake. I don’t think I could manage it in my current rig. She wants and needs space to spread out, and I just can’t give it to her running the way I run.

I’ll try to get pics of the Pentagram ladies sometime before Danksgiving. They’re pushing pistils really hard now, and might end up looking damn near identical. The Twisted Tree girls in 1 gallon pots are all steady rocking along. For sure for sure two distinct phenos, possibly three, in the Chem Cookies testers. The tall girl is gonna be a friggin MONSTER. And that Cheese Cookies female is gonna be gorgeous, and really dense I think. She’s stacking so tight, it’s kinda freaky. I’m trying to drought the whole tent and get all four of the 1 gallon plants watered on the same day to check who drinks fastest, and to see how they respond to being a bit thirsty. TTA does good work with their gear, so I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Happy Monday y’all!

Happy Danksgiving OverGrow!!! I’m up early, but I’m gonna try to keep this short since I don’t really have much to talk about. You know me though, even if I don’t have much to talk about, I probably still have a lot to say! :sweat_smile:

Well, seeds are out and drying now. I must have messed something up though. Not because they look bad, or aren’t mature. Because I only got 38 of them. Yes, 38 as in thirty-eight. There were a couple bad seeds, which got tossed right away, but not many, maybe half a dozen or so. I think what happened is my fault, probably the result of being in a hurry and not thinking the process through fully. I’ll explain below.

I use a paintbrush to apply pollen. It’s a calligraphy brush, so it’s got a fine point and long, soft bristles. I put the pollen into a little tube so it was easier to put on the brush, and easier to handle without risking a spill. When I began the process I started with the Twisted Puppy, which is the most resinous plant I’ve grown to date. So as I’m going along painting nodes I notice the bristles on my brush sticking together. At the time I didn’t think anything of it, but I now think maybe that’s why the NewBerry Auto didn’t get as much pollen as I originally thought, and therefore only produced 38 seeds. Hopefully the Twisted Puppy has more.

Pulled the AutoPot system out and got it thoroughly cleaned. I dunno if I want to bother putting the Grape Slurri in the tray or not, at this point. She’s approaching 60 days and is just now hitting full on preflower. I gotta get in the tent today and pull her branches out and do some light defoliation, so I’ll probably decide her fate then. The Twisted Puppy isn’t going back in, no matter what. If I can find a dark spot to put her and a fan, I might do that today and start her final 48 hour countdown.

It’s time to start thinking about projects. That’s another reason I’m considering keeping the tray out, is so I can fill the tent with 1 gallon pots. It’s still up in the air as to which project will be started, since I might have just picked up a lead on a really sick photo project. But if for some reason that doesn’t happen, it’s Mango Smile x Zamaldelica Express F2 time for this guy! Just to be clear, the one and only reason I’m willing to backseat this project for the photo project I mentioned is because one of the parents in the photo proj is a GMO cross. I really really like GMO.

Happy Thanksgiving OG. I hope you all have a phenomenal holiday weekend, and please be safe if you brave the crowds to go out and take advantage of the sales. I’ll be (hopefully) doing my shopping on Monday at exactly 3:00 pm EST. I’ve got my eyes on something sweet, if I can beat the crowd. If you know, you know. :wink:

NewBerry Auto by Twisted Tree Autoflowers.

Final yield was ~250 grams of “good” flower, and 14.35 grams of some FIRE kief. I gave up on cleaning up the larf. There wasn’t as much as I thought before starting, but there was more than I wanted to bother trimming up. So I chopped it up and tossed it in with the trim and got to shaking. I usually do 2 rounds of shaking in the Trim Bin, but this stuff dumped so much resin I didn’t feel like it was necessary to try and get more. Wifey is gonna end up with some really strong infused coconut oil this time.

Guess who placed their very first Mephisto order yesterday?!?!? I managed to beat the crowds and got a 7-pack of Purple Nuggets. I have plans for those plants. I’m a total fanboi when it comes to strawberry terps, which is strange because I don’t like strawberries or strawberry flavored food/drinks, but whatever. I want to cross this Purple Nuggets with something that should be super strawberry-ey and make lots of regs to hunt through and try to find the purple/pink pheno to lock down again. Maybe. I have too many auto projects as it is, and every new thing I get opens the doors to several more.

It seems like a photo run is next, though. So it’s time to start thinking that through and making arrangements to house males. I might go for broke and use my 2x2 as the bachelor pad instead of putting him in some random place like I have in the past. Y’all would probably puke if you saw how careless I have been in the past with males. Its a Christmas miracle I don’t end up with seeds in every plant. :sweat_smile:

Well, shit. I think I messed up and pushed one of these testers too hard into drought. I was letting them go about a day past when I’d usually water, which is usually too soon and usually leads to a full 24 hours of drooping leaves. I knew plant 1 was the most sensitive to drought, but I didn’t think she’d flip out and basically give up on life because of that sensitivity. But she did, and now it’s more or less too late. When I found her in such sorry condition I gave her just water with some cal-mag, no feed. Some of her sugar leaves came back and are hanging on, but most of her foliage is cooked and crispy now. Shit happens I guess.

My Pentagram ladies, on the other hand, handle drought fairly well. The plants themselves are really ugly and beat up looking, but they’re trucking along doing their thing. I’ve tortured these little plants and they just take it on the chin and keep going. I might need to take a second look at Pentagram and see if I can pull some consistency out of a few plants. Maybe it’s worth moving forward. :thinking:

And then there’s the Grape Slurri. I dunno about this one. Don’t get me wrong, the plant itself is doing fine. She’s a tough lady. But, with that being said, she’s somewhere around 60 days from sprout and is finally JUST into flower, and just barely at that. She isn’t even done stacking nodes on her branch tips yet, and the flower clusters aren’t to the “pom-pom” stage yet. So she’ll likely go well past 100 days, maybe even 110+. Whatever the case, I’ll be looking to get her out of the tent as soon as possible.

I’m really looking forward to the photoperiod stuff I’ve got coming up. There’s gonna be a whole lotta Mendo, and I am totally fine with that. :grin:

Meph order landed on Monday. I’m super stoked for the Purple Nuggets, but the freebie they tossed in is exciting too. 3 Bears OG x Mango Smile will fit right in with the Mango Smile x Zamaldelica Express F2 project, and take it down a whole new avenue. Not gonna lie though, I had my fingers crossed for a CDLC freebie cross. No biggie.

Twisted Puppy seed mother is down and the seeds have been shucked. I was expecting more from her, and will probably find a few more as I break down flower to smoke it. But she didn’t make much more than the other plant did. She made seeds though, and that’s all that matters. I’ll be sending half to the pollen donor, then give away half of my half, keeping the few left after that for my own grow. I have/had no intentions of furthering the project, so this’ll be it.

Pentagram ladies are still alive, somehow. They’re tough as nails, that’s for sure. I’ve droughted them so so so badly. Their leaves are all screwed up and ugly looking. But they’re still pushing new pistils and bulking up. They won’t amount to much, but this has definitely shown me that I need to hunt the rest of these Pentagram seeds and find a couple winners. It can handle stress, which might be a tool I can use in later projects.

I gotta get that dang Cheese Cookies plant out for some pics. She’s short, but holy smokes is she gonna get thick. And her purple coloring is starting to contrast with the orange hairs that are starting to show. She’s got a fairly typical “Cookies” nose so far. I definitely smell fresh baked muffins when I move her around. Really sweet and cakey smelling. Should be a treat to smoke.

2/3 testers should be wrapping up in the next 10-15 days, and the last should be a week or 2 past that. I’m convinced the big girl took a beating from me not watering her soon enough a couple weeks back. Almost all of her leaves are dead and crunchy. The plant itself is still living, but she’s super ugly. The other plant that’s close-ish to done looks similar in structure, just shorter and a bit less internodal spacing. She looks very much like a Cookies plant. The slowest of the group is very sativa looking in structure. Very small and compact buds, big internodal spaces, terrific leaf to flower ratio. I’m really excited for all 3 of them since they all smell different.

The Grape Slurri is finally starting to look like she might do something with her life. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a tough little plant, and has had less than optimal conditions from the beginning. I’m definitely not calling her lazy or saying she comes from bad stock. She’s just damn slow. She’ll get there though, one day. I’m considering bumping her nutrient dose up a bit. She’s handling everything she gets currently, and has shown no signs of over-feeding, so I’m gonna go for it :man_shrugging:

Well, shoot. Mango Isle just crushed my dreams, kinda sorta. I had no idea Night Owl put out an F1 hybrid of Mango Smile x Zamaldelica Express. When I saw that pop up in the search results my interest in this project tanked. So now it’s a toss up between a couple different things, all autoflowers. I’ll go over my ideas below, easiest to most complicated.

First up is an easy project. I have 4x Spotted Lime F2 seeds that were gifted to me about a year ago to use as a potential first breeding project. That gift is ultimately what led me to OverGrow, so it’s high on my to-do list. I’m assuming there’d be some interest in the F3 regs when the project wraps up? I recall seeing a thread dedicated to it, although it hasn’t seen much action in the past 6 months or so, I think.

Next up is something I’m calling my “Strawberry Dreams” project. It involves mostly Meph gear, some legit, some repro. I’ve got a couple different Strawberry Nuggets crosses, but the one that interests me for this idea is Ripley’s OG x Strawberry Nuggets. Those are regs and would be my source of pollen to make the rest of this dream come to fruition. I don’t know exactly how many I have, but half a dozen sounds about right. I’d pop all of those, and then also get a couple Purple Nuggets going and this other thing called Strawberry Cola Auto from Exotic Seed Co. P. Nuggets and S. Cola are both fems, so they’d get dusted by the studliest Rip OG x SN male, while also hitting the best female of the same cross. Hopefully something from at least one of the three seed mothers turns out how I envision. If not, well I guess I’ll be making tons of polyhybrid crosses in a last ditch effort to create my Strawberry Dreams Auto.

Last up is Cookies related. I really like how this Cheese Cookies female is turning out, and I really want to make more seeds with the rest of the pack since they are regs. I know there’s some cheesy goodness locked up in those genetics somewhere, and I WILL FIND IT. When I pop the dozen or so of these that I have left, I’d be popping at least one Twisted Cookies fem so she can get pollen from the best Cheese Cookies male, which will result in Cheese Cookies Bx1. So that’s two things, but we aren’t done yet, I still have three Chem Cookies fem testers… So I’ll be making Chem Cookies x Cheese Cookies, and call that Toxic Cookies or something, I dunno. Annnnnnnnd then there’s the Forum Stomper seeds, too. I’m still on the fence about this one, but I might pull the trigger and bring Mephisto and Twisted Tree together for a pollen chuck mashup. Might not be horrible to bring in some DNA from a source other than Twisted Tree to all this Cookies silliness I’m thinking about. :thinking:

Finishing this on an edit feels weird, so I think I’m gonna wrap it for now :sweat_smile:

Spotted Limes F3 run is on the horizon. I gotta make sure I have enough ProMix to fill enough containers, which I believe I do. As long as that’s good to go, I’ll be starting this tonight. I think there’s only like 4 or maybe 5 seeds in the vial, so whatever I end up with is what I’ll be working with. Fingers crossed for a stud male and dime female. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

You’ve been staying busy! Looking forward to the Spotted Limes run. Hope you get your stud and killer female.

Decided at the last minute to hold off starting any seeds until something arrives in the mail. If it gets held up and isn’t here by Christmas, I’ll start the Spotted Limes F2s and get those rolling at least. Someone here on OG offered to send me a freebie they received, Super Critical Bud CBD by Garden of Green. I’m thinking that with the lineage of Spotted Limes, adding some CBD dominant genetics might result in something medically useful.

I am gonna start some of my own creations though. The 2 different fem beans I just made are dry enough now, so it’s time to give em a go. They’ll be in solo cups for this first test run, but if all goes well I’ll be running them in 1 gallon pots next.
