Here we go again!
After a fruitful summer creating f2s, hybrids, and s1s of my beloved Grapefruit x Blueberry mom it’s time to get back to growing some new varietals!
I had a lot to choose from with the Overgrow preservation runs - but I wanted to clear up some of the varietals I had purchased previously.
I have been after a grape varietal since my first real grow (about 1999). I had purchased some afghani x hashplant seeds and they were absolutely killer and had a touch of that deep indica grape taste. I also have a soft spot for DJ Short so I’m excited to see what this pack has in store. I have dropped 5 of the 10 seeds in water - fingers crossed for a good germ rate. I do have my reservations here - these were purchased from Hemp Depot and come in the same style of packet that Chimera beans came in. Apparently Grape Krush has not been available for a bit - so I’m not sure if the Canadian distributor just had a lot of stock or these have been bred in continuous filial generations. Either way Brad at HD has always provided a great service to me so I’m willing to run with their authenticity. Would love to hear about other HD experiences with DJ short varietals.
Second - I had purchased 5 seeds from Next Generation of their Romulan x Purple Pineberry. I would have preferred pure Romulan but it was not available at that point. I believe next Gen is an offshoot of the original Federation seeds who I recall offering several Romulan and Romulan crosses back in the Cannabis Culture days. Again, I have a soft spot for Romulan - the peppery spicy smoke, with a wonderful head. For me I can smoke a big J and get to the perfect spot and never go over the edge with it (into space haha).
So - 5 seeds of each in the pool this AM for 24hrs and then they’ll go into paper towels… hopefully by the end of the week we’ll see who’s head is above soil!
Per my previous format I’ll update with pics once a week (maybe more often)
