Bonanza of Green is a great book. I downloaded it and printed it so I could have a hard copy. I noticed that Seedsherenow shows 3 strains as retired so I am now on the hunt for original seeds to reproduce of these strains. If anyone happens to have a line on some let me know.

Iāve been gone for far far too long. I left 1.0 and never felt at home on the other Forums. ICM and RIU held me over for a while but this was home. I remember when he was working the Blue Moon Rocksā¦ Sad to say upon my return I find out that two legends left us in the same year.smh. Being in a red tape state I managed to pick some Sweet Cindy and LifeSaver on my last order from SHN. Crazy how far things have come, Iām still use to the Doc or single seed center to name a couple. Glad to see we can operate in the US! Sour Grape and Sour LifeSaver will be added for my next order just to make sure I can reseed if need to. I hope things pull through! Keep up the good work! +Rep

@Canofbusjoe Thank you OG
You have awesome grow pics
@OGSince03 Welcome back, I joined in 2018. Old school since 2002 OG as Atmosphear, searchable on ICG. Good to see you, what was your old school handle? Before OG I was growing on Hempcultivation dot com.
Two BOG SBTās donāt look or smell the same. First one looks and smells like the SBT I grew in 2020.
Second looks and smells like Sweet Cindy

@Heliosphear THCKingsblend I believe it was. I got it from an old Kottonmouth Kings title. After the shutdown I was running mostly DWC and RDWC and basically had to keep shutting things down every few months for security reasons. life happens and I realized I needed a big boy job so my hobby often got put on holdā¦ Being on the East coast where itās still frowned upon I still have the old school āundercoverā mentality and try to limit certain things. Im back though. Getting in gear for a nice run shortly, now that I have the right space to work with security wise. I hope to do a lot of pheno finding so Iām trying to round up a lot of diverse strains. I am very interested in youāre venture you have going as I can do some comparisons. Thanks for youāre insight!

Gotta love some good bud pornā¦ and thanks @Heliosphear for linking BOGās book, I hadnāt gotten a copy of that yet. Downloading now, I definitely have plenty left to learn and free good advice is never a bad investment. 
Iām sure thereās a long line of people with their hands out before me, and obviously Iām still a newbie, but Iāll keep an eye on the thread in case you end up with a ābonanzaā of seeds to give out for preservation down the line. All the BOG lines are going to be getting tougher to find, Iām sureā¦ and entirely too many scammers out there trying to take advantage of his absence.

@OGSince03 looking forward to seeing you grow again, starting a diverse group sound like a good plan. What strains are you looking for?
@Cormoran i like your imagination grow, I often grow seeds cause I get the itchā¦ yours are looking good.
I think when you get that basement going, itās gonna be awesome. Down the line preservation of BOG strains that are unavailable on the market is being taken care of by many grow communities. Several OGās are very serious about keeping the BOG legend alive and growing, my SBT seeds will be grown again to look for a pheno champ and a premium male, those seeds grown and same process repeated until Iām satisfied.

@Heliosphear Yeah Iām getting excited. Iām working out details as to how Iām gonna do this. Iām working with not the best conditions as far as space. But I think itāll do. Iāve had much worse to work with. Sadly I wonāt be doing it for much personal smoke itāll be strictly for seed runs. Mostly. I wonāt have to have giant trees smelling up the blockš

Chocolate skunk sounds delicious and funky, not a coffee fan, my second jobā¦ummm 36 years ago was a doughnut bake at Mister Donut. Even now all these years later, the smell make me wanna hurl. How much space you workin with?

Itās crazy how smells can be so memorable. The space it highly restricted, itās about 10-15x3x5 for the main area. I do have a small space I could do veg/propagation in so thatāll free up the main area. Iām gonna have to get crafty and go LED, thatās for sure. Temps will be a big factor so I canāt run my hps lamps without running major conditioning.

Iāll do an update again soon, bit of a rough start - I almost donāt want to do a post cause Iāll have to admit what I did to them. 
Still, everyoneās alive so thatās the important part.
Lots of basement remodels going on apparently. I guess @Canofbusjoe is doing a remodel too, not sure if you were talking about his or mineā¦ Iām also remodeling mine, got about a 10āx20āx8ā space Iām working with so it should be good for some preservation runs eventually. Anything other than the most unmanageable outdoor sativas should be good to go, hopefully. Iām loosely following @ReikoXās design and reserving about 4āx20ā for a workspace, since thereās ductwork in the way of using that space for plants anyway. Hypothetical plants, that is.

When I looked at your plants I saw over watered, if you donāt share the good and the bad timesā¦ a opportunity is missed for others to learn from mistakes that can be dealt with and how to do it. By sharing your problems, other OGās are givin a chance share knowledge with you and others on what to do when the fertilizer hits the fan.
SBTāsā¦ I guess. Looks like a SBT and a sativa dominate BOG something.

Before (over)feeding them they were down to 30% on my moisture meter, a little moisture left in the soil but I wouldnāt have thought overwateredā¦ unless I just canāt trust the meter. That being said, they were overwatered early on, a few weeks before those pictures were posted. These are definitely the bad times, for my plants. Iām getting a crash-course refresher in what not to do, and youāre right, I might as well share the wealth. Iāll be polite enough to keep it in the right thread, though. Anyone who wants to watch me screw up my first diaried grow, feel free to stop by!
Yours, btw, are looking very nice in contrast. I can always stop by when I need a reminder of what these plants are supposed to look likeā¦
