This be Broseidon’s Corner now (Claimed!).
There are many like it but this one’s mine 
As I wrote in the intro section, I’m an old head.
First grow was early 2000s AK47 and NL#5 from Nirvana. We managed to flower 5 or 6 plants in the end. Was the best and most distinctly different smoke between two strains my young self ever experienced back then. Still miss the AK47. We grew in promix with atami nutes back then.
About 10 years ago I was able to start back up and decided to go with organic growing. I also researched strains and breeders heavily as I wanted to try my hand at selecting mothers and fathers and eventually do some crosses myself.
My equipment back then was a large veg chamber (with a 400w MH as the main light and a rack for clones and seedlings with T5 armatures ), 1 small (315w cmh 4200k spectrum) and one large (630w CMH 3100k spectrum) flowering chamber and a drying chamber (with clotheslines and fan/filter for initial hang dry).
I used regular jiffy plugs and solo cups (and later a DIY aero cloner) for seedlings/clones and regular plastic pots for veg. Then transplanted into 3.5 gallon fabric pots (later 2 large fabric pot beds, round) for flowering.
I ran LC’s/Coots soil mix from ICmag as far as I was able to (cant get all the ingredients here in EU to this day) and ran mostly (but not only) Mr Nice gear during my successful runs. Had some great results, found some keepers, but also ran into many kinds of issues (yay organic soil) not least of which were the dreaded gnats…
Anyway, I can still be found on both boards. Went by BigBadBiddy on ICmag (there some pictures survived) and same as here, Broseidon, over on Mr Nice forum (they migrated forums or sth, no pics left alive as far as I can tell).
Been a tester for Shantibaba before as well, during his attempt to release a new version of the G13. Don’t know if any of you were along during that time but Mr Nice supposedly used to have a real clone of the infamous G13 way back when. To this day you can get G13 crosses (G13xSkunk, G13xNl, G13xHz) at MrNice and there is definitely something to these lines (I grew 2 of em). Whether or not the “real” G13, no clue, wasnt around back then, never have nor will have access to the “real clone” if it ever existed. But G13xSkunk and G13xNL were especially, noticeably different to other Skunk and Nl I had grown from both Mr Nice and other sources before. A G13xSkunk was actually my selected father for my first seed run as I had never stumbled across such a healthy/vigorous male with such an extremely pungent and super pleasant smell on the stem rub during early veg, getting more and more potent as veg went on. I never flowered that “stud” but kept him around for a few years before I had to shut it all down.
Anyway, around that time (2017/2018) or when it was, Shanti hunted down a legit seeming source for the original G13 (I think he never gave up or will get up tryna find that one). He bought cuts or whatever, crossed to various lines of his own and sent out testers among the community. Back then I was hitting my stride and got some.
Mine were duds, if they grew, they were crappy, didnt manage to flower a single one. My environment was dealing with various issues at that time as well though and I chalked it up to my bad environment.
I remember reading others having issues as well though, if they went to flower, it wasnt worth it and now years later, it seems like nothing came of that attempt, probably a bad source in the end.
Damn, getting all side tracked.
So what’s Broseidon’s corner aside from a place for me rambling about the good ol’ days and my perspective on this here thang of ours…
Well a project is in the making.
My current equipment/setup:
- Veg Tent 100x100x180cm (sorry, don’t speak imperialo, don’t know how many elbows or eyebrowlashes or whatever that is <3 ) With a 315w cmh 4200k spectrum. I have a 400w MH in 4200k spectrum as well and two 4xT5 armatures I could use for early veg. I plan to run ez plugs for seedlings, aero cloner for clones and regular medium plastic pots with organic soil for veglings.
- Flower Tent 120x120x220cm with a 630w CMH and I plan to put a p600 100w ViparSpectra LED in each corner of the tent for vertical lighting and complementing the CMH’s spectrum. I large, round fabric pot for the whole tent, forgot how many litres or gas cannisters or whatever.
- Dry tent 80x80x160cm just a fan and carbon filter and probably some clothesline or sth, gonna figure out later how to hang stuff in there efficiently.
- eventually I believe I will need another small tent for parents or if I ever want to chuck some pollen and make seeds after all
The medium will be my 10 year old soil that has been sitting on a terrace in my backyard without getting watered for the last 5 or so.
I don’t know if I ever got the nutrient mixture in the soil right in the end or not. I had very successful runs but also runs where a lot went wrong. I remember often having to battle yellowing leaf tips from the bottom of the plants upwards (N deficiency?) in early to mid flower already. No amount of worm castings or worm casting ACTs helped though…
From what I understand it should be completely inert at the moment.
I plan to ammend it with some goodies like bat guano (for the flowering bed), fresh worm castings for everyone and then I got some terra preta and plant coal on the way. I do have a bunch of perlite and malted barley left from back then as well.
Anyway, plan to extract the soil from the old fabric beds and into plastic bins. I probably will end up borrowing a cement mixer for the whole ordeal. Otherwise I can recommend these “handmixer” looking things from the DIY store to mix cement and the like in small amounts for mixing soil, helps a ton.
Anyway, add some of the new goodies, mix them bad boys up real good, in the meantime brew a lovely big helping of ACT with melasses, shredded malted barley, worm castings and maybe a helping of some bat guano.
Put the flowering bed in the tent and fill it back up, probably leave the soil for veg tent in the tubs and then give both a generous watering with the act. Get some aeration going, cover up the soil and let it cook for a week or two.
In the meantime, get some seeds going.
Which seeds should I pop?
First question to anyone actually reading that far along.
The seeds I actually would like to grow:
- MrNice SSH (have about 20)
- MrNice Mango Haze (about 30)
- MrNice Neville’s Haze (about 30)
- Karma Genetics Headbanger (12)
- Ace Seeds Malawi (breeders pack, 40 or sth remaining)
However I want to get things going first and somewhat dialed in. Besides, I have a plant limit. I might be able to pop 20 seeds but due to plant limit and also the size of my flowering tent, 12 will be the max I can flower at any given time.
So what I will likely pop first is:
- MrNice Master Kush x Skunk
- MrNice ASH
- MrNice Shit
- MrNice LaNina
- MrNice Spice (although that one is in the freezer, gotta check if they survived)
The Master Kush x Skunk is a likely candidate as I grew it before. During my last grow with em it had 2 noticeable phenos.
1 grew very indica and had the most disgusting smells in flower that also changed as it went along. Think tar, sewage, puke and stuff like that, it was hella weird. After chop and cure it ended up smelling like camphor. Don’t know how many of you know it, it’s quite common in Germany. Didn’t smell like weed or cannabis at all. Would have been great for stealth grows lol It was potent and yealdy enough but nothing special.
Now the other pheno was remarkably stretchy/sativay and foxtailed like crazy. Buds were kinda aery, too and trimming sucked balls.
But the flavor and smell was absolutely divine. It smelled like “ice bonbons” if you know that stuff. It is a very distinct smell, closest in the US stratosphere I can think of is wintergreen altoids but not quite.
Anyway, smell carried over into the cure (after briefly disappearing for a week, scary) and both smell and taste, especially when vaping were sublime. Like those friggin Gletschereis-Bonbons.
I kept it for a bit, lost as well. The high was much more sativa leaning than expected, definitely not the most oomph ever but the taste and smell made that one worth keeping.
So yeah, probably a couple of MKxSk from MrNice for the first round.
I was considering getting some clones for the first round to better dial in the system but am careful about sourcing them. The best available source to me at the moment requires 30 pop a clone and I think that is more “I buy it to make clones from it myself”- than “I buy 12 to dial in my tent”-money.
So seeds it likely is. Maybe I should lean more towards the LaNina or other Sativa stuff I have but havent mentioned yet though, since I actually wanna grow SSH and Neville’s Haze and those Headbanger from Karma for some newschool genetics?
Input welcome
Also input welcome:
At several points during my grows I felt like “if only I could get some G.H. Maxibloom here in EU, I could throw some of that into the ACTs I make and all my nutrient issues would disappear”.
Nowadays Terra Aquatica (or T.A.) is the EU version of G.H. and they have a slightly altered formula product called Drypart Grow and Drypart Flower which are essentially Maxi grow and Maxi bloom from back in the day.
Think I should get some of that just in case?
I currently have nothing in terms of good kelp here. Earth worm castings I need to order, I have some gardening compost but not sure how great it is for our plants, it is bio and local though but there is also a hollander trea nearby/above the compost that I have been battling with spider mites with for 2 years now so I’d rather not use any of that compost pile.
I remember when I last stopped that humic/fulvic acids were considered a solution for my nute issues but I didnt get around to trying any solution before i had to stop.
Other than that, the bat guano is the only new ammendment I wil be testing.
Alright, this is already a wall lol, any feedback welcome, will add whenever there is something new and probably wont upload many pics before plants go into soil which will hopefully be around christmas.
Stay Frosty

, what do you like the most: indicas or sativas?
