Glad you like it. I’m trying my best to get the smoke reports of the most recent stuff written, but I’m just in a really, really, really dark place right now and don’t feel like writing them. Every time I think I’m maybe getting out of it and starting to feel normal again, something happens that drags me back down.
I’ll write them soon, though, hopefully. I’m ready to end this log.
Hey, friend. a friendly word always helps. I wish you luck and may you have the strength to overcome these dark clouds soon. Everything in this life is a phase is fleeting including the bad times. May you find the light and strength you need. I didn’t talk to you much but I really admired your records and smk reports… amazing. love it and come back fast i hope.
Best wishes @minitiger
aww sorry to hear that bro. Hope you get to be in a really good place very soon and you get to stay there. Was just thinkin about ya last night so glad to see you still around. Get to those reports whenever, no rush, gotta make sure you’re good first
Oh, yeah. As long as I’m growing weed, I’ll be around haha. And I don’t anticipate quitting growing any time soon. That’s kinda my anchor right now.
Good germ rates on everything I planted this round, everything popped except for two of those Grapefruit f3’s, so I only ended up with three of those. 15/15 on everything else. Somehow I’ve been able to stay on top of the gardening stuff, but I’m like in zombie mode or something. Transplanted everything into half-gallons last week, IPM a few days ago etc etc etc, but I don’t even really remember doing it haha, I only know I did it by looking at my notes. And the plants are all in half-gallons now, so I musta done that at some point, right? Haha.
I’m, like, so fucking in my head, can’t stop thinking, it’s kinda driving me nuts. When I’m doing gardening stuff, I’m really kinda like on autopilot or something, not even really paying attention, just going through the motions or whatever. But somehow the plants still look great haha.
Yeah, I think it’s interesting that mengene made it a point to mention the runts in his description of that cross on speakeasy. He was definitely right about the weaker root system, too; transplanting that one was a total pain in the ass, barely any roots at all.
Honestly, I don’t even know if that plant’ll make it to a seven-gallon, looks like it has some kind of deficiency, growing real weird etc. Probably one of the few plants that I’ve ever grown that I’ve considered tossing before I even know the sex. But I’ll wait haha.
Uh… Lemme think… 5x each of the Grapefruit f3, the Yesca x Jaro and, uh… Shit… Oh! Doc D’s Chocolate Blitz, the Choco Trip/A5Thai cross and Bodhi’s Hashplant D, the Chem D/GHash cross.
Only three of the Grapefruits sprouted, but everything else is all good. The Yesca x Jaro plants seem very… flimsy haha, I’m positive they’re gonna need some serious staking. Same with the Grapefruits, which I think is a little odd, considering they’re f3’s; you’d think that the breeder (can’t even remember who it was right now) would’ve selected for decent structure and all that by the time they got to the third generation, but maybe they were just going for real grapefruit flavor and nothing else. I dunno.
The Bodhi and Doc D plants look solid, which isn’t any big surprise at all. Those motherfuckers know what they’re doing.
Well, I’m gonna start a new thread for the latest stuff, it won’t be “here” here. I’m fucking sick of this thread haha, it’s taken a decidedly “downer” turn that I’m not really enjoying (totally my fault, obviously). Time to get off of it and start something new. I dunno if I’m even gonna write smoke reports for those Pura Vida f2’s and the Nikah and everything else. Maybe I’ll revisit this thread and write the reports at some point, but I just don’t feel very compelled to write about the last round. Good weed, but not compelling haha, nothing special about most of it. I haven’t blazed the Santa Cruz Pure Haze cross in a while, though, but that’s probably the only other one I wanna write about, after the Malibu Pure x Lemon Thai.
Yeah, I’ve got a couple packs of that one, too. I only planted the Hashplant D because I was frantically looking for something else, couldn’t find it in the fridge quickly enough and just said,”Alright, fuck it, here’s the Chem D cross, I’ll plant that one instead.” I don’t even remember what it was I was looking for now. Whatever it was, though, I’m sure I’ll plant it at some point haha.
Supposedly that Chem D/GHash cross has produced some RKS-type plants, so that’s exciting. We’ll see what happens.
On a new thread haha.
Yeah, I’m not complaining, just observing. We’ll see how those turn out. Hopefully. If I get a female or two… haha.
Heh, that sucks
I have a pack of his blue Magoo bx3 and had the clone in Oregon a couple years back. Was good stuff but compared to TK and some others, definitely mids now that I think about
All this talk of seed popping has me really wanting to pop more seeds but I got a couple plants left to stick into flower and then I’m trying to take a break later this summer. Maybe root some cuts for new moms but that’s it. We’ll see.
Looking forward to whatever you do here or otherwise minitiger. If you start a new thread please tag me
well… that’s the smoke report! it happens! about 2% of plants are really special anyways don’t beat yoself up, some plants don’t need or “deserve” a full analysis lol
Yeah, that’s right, I couldn’t remember last night (lit, big surprise), but it is Dynasty, got those seeds a few years back on a 4/20 sale. Or maybe a Black Friday thing, can’t remember. I was so not planning on growing those this round haha, not sure what made me change my mind while I was digging through the fridge, but that always happens. I always have an idea of what I’m gonna grow and then it all goes out the window when I start going through my seeds.
I think I was planning on growing some of the Mandelbrot stuff this round. Maybe I couldn’t find it in a timely fashion or something, I dunno. I need to get into those seeds at some point pretty soon, though.
Okay, well, you’ve killed my enthusiasm for the Grapefruit plants now haha! Just kidding. We’ll see what happens with those. I really don’t know what my rationale for planting those this round was, other than I’ve got two packs of them and I oughta grow them at some point, right? Right?!? Haha. And I don’t really mind weed that isn’t super-fucking-strong and overwhelmingly stony sometimes. If it tastes like grapefruit and gets me pleasantly baked, I’ll be happy. Been a long time since I smoked any “grapefruit-y” weed.
Do it! I like popping seeds, just because it’s always, like, you dunno what’s gonna happen haha! Maybe something AMAZING haha. Or maybe something kinda boring, like this last round. Although I will say that I did not anticipate that Santa Cruz Pure Haze cross turning all purple on me, so that was kinda cool.
Plant those Tree of Life seeds I sent you, that was real good weed.
Haha, yeah, you’re kinda right. But I will write them at some point. The Pura Vida f2’s are very delicious, albeit similar, so I feel like I oughta at least mention that.
Haha, I’m definitely not beating myself up. Not worried about it at all. But I do wonder if maybe I’m not as enthusiastic about the last grow as I usually am simply because of my shitty state of mind right now. I always wanna do the plants justice and sorta remove myself from the equation, but I’m having a hard time doing that right now.
Excited to see you run those when you get it going what of his do you have? have heard so much good things about mandelbrots gear and his brother bens gear from emerald mountain legacy for sure wanna get some royal kush sometime
Those should be some cool plants and I’m interested in seeing them grow, I always enjoyed cannabis that had that grapefruit thing going on but I have never grown any straight Grapefruit. Grew out some Passionfruit from some Dutch genetic or another years ago and Grapefruit makes up half the cross. I remembered really liking it and so did everybody I gave it too. I remember some old time potheads I always give cannabis to said it was “really stoney” as well.
