Chaps cross journal

I will be posting all the stuff I’m working on here past,present,future. I am trying to get away from insta and become a little more closed off shall I say. I am from Prattsburgh NY,I started growing in 2014 when my buddy had the great idea for us to grow in his closest. At the time it was the coolest idea ever. Finally we found something we both loved to do,I took the lead as the head gardener persay he was more or less in charge of what we grew. He loved blue dream and Persisted we grow it first at that time I remember we ordered from Nirvana seeds which was also really freaking cool. We used GH Trio,Miracle gro(I know I know,we were young what do you expect haha,I grow in coco now but have done it all) we didnt ph,ec none of that because we figured just mix some nutes and wahlah we have great herb boy were we wrong. We made it about halfway through veg till one day I came home and they were dead,He didn’t know how to water…I was the gardener remember. I figured I would atleast tell this one time although I know its similar to many others here. I did grow a seedling in my window when I was 11 years old,I stole the seed from my dads “Top Drawer” which was just where he kept his weed,cartons of cigs,keys,change things like that. What a good hiding place ay but that doesn’t count as actually growing imo. I also recall smelling this “Skunk” everybody talks about,he had a metal pipe,and 2 smaller nugs that were bright green I remember it well the smell was so loud it was ridiculous I thought I was going to get caught opening his mint tin so I put it back and ran outside like I was up to nothing. The Smell was like a skunk sprayed me in the face when I opened the tin,I dont remember any little smell details besides that specific spray smell,I was id say 9 when this happened. The one thing I have noticed change sense I started smoking at 11,Is that I haven’t smelled the Skunk ever again nor the Sour Diesel I smoked(SD was the 1st time/Strain I smoked,I wasn’t supposed to obviously but I Blackmailed my older brother into letting me take 1 hit…highest I have ever been in my life I fell down a flight of stairs got to the bottom,and my dad goes “You okay?” I said yeah Im fine,He then looked me in the eyes and started laughing,He then ran up to the attic where my brothers room was(house was built in the 1800s for people that did ice cutting,Filling cool boxes) and I hear “Did you let your 11 yr brother smoke that”? Brother got grounded of course and dad took his bud. These are memories that I can remember clear as day,I could probably remember what month it was if I actually tried. I have so many little stories like this. The best part is I haven’t thought of some these for years it also tells me I’m doing exactly what I should be right now with this lovely Plant. Sorry if it sounds like a yap fest but I dont know how else to introduce myself without giving a little context on how it started for me. If you read this hell yeah,if ya dont hell ya either way Im glad to be here,to learn,meet new people,share beans/pollen. Recently I have been pretty upset about alot of these “big breeders” using the same pics,lying about what they are giving all these people who are new,just want seeds,or think they have great genetics. It also makes me feel like there’s alot more going on then we really know about…it’s sad the plant is used in a bad way,or just for money. Alright ill wrap this up if I dont ill be here all night rambling because that’s what happens when I talk about anything plant related. I Hope everybody has a great Friday,Ill post a compiled list/pics of what Im up to tonight. -Chap

I appreciate that! I injected a Chimera 3 10k Cut tonight as well as sprayed it. Only had 18G Pins so I hit a few spots just to see if it helps. I probably Didn’t need to inject it but I haven’t heard any real info on C3 reversals besides seeing alot of crosses its involved in which leads me to believe I shouldn’t run into any real issues. My thoughts process was injecting 1 time vs spraying 7-10 times seems much easier ay? What could the drawbacks be? This week Ill be taking more pics of whats what. I have pics from seedling-now so about 1.5 months worth of pics,I want to do a timeline type of array so theres no confusion.

Frozen Bag Pheno I kept,the nose has changed quite some bit after cure,1 friend says hot dogs🤣 the other says creamy pine…I say Cream something I cant put an exact nose on it. Definitely Creamy though,She stretches 2.5-3x which can be an issue for some,I multi top every 2 weeks,I lst like crazy everytime Im within arms length I bend em. She is keeping up with all my keepers from my crosses,She has surpassed all other “packs” I grew last year. The only issue with her is she likes to topple over near the end of flower which is where net comes in. She finishes at day 60-65 all depending on what you like really. Im reversing a Chimera 3 right now and will be pollinating her along with my other favorites from last year. You really can’t go wrong with this one. The high is very intense 1 hitter quitter type herb,I get a heavy indica relaxing effect with pulses of lets get up and do something/smiley. It has induced anxiety in the past due to using way to much. There is a fine medium with this one too much and its no fun. Which I believe to be true with most hybrids these days. I crossed her to the Royal Wedding male I found 2 years ago and have about 50 good seeds…she didnt produce many🙃 hoping the Chimera 3 pollen takes and were in buisness,I will share if theres enough to go around maybe some type of grow along.

Now here’s something that really sends me back to when I first smelled “Cheese” P34 was its name to start with,I couldn’t come up with anything to really suit it besides chapos cheese which still doesn’t sit well with me. I never though 6 ish years later I would be hunting my own type of Cheese,Something that I like that grows great for me with all the boxes checked. Whenever you see something I write with P in front of it and a # its just the pheno Im sure most will know this but Figured why not make it aware. Now there was only ever 25 beans popped from the original seed stock I had to work with but I forgot what # I was at(Planted roughly 20 2 weeks before) I didn’t want a duplicate # to send me down some rabbit hole like I tend to do. The actual cross I started with was Exodus Cheese,I hit the Royal Wedding Male I had to the EC then selected the mom attached “EC x RW”,I then took a Male Divine Comedy 4(Dantes Inferno x CPKB GGG, F2d by SSV from Socalseedvault and hit it to the mom Labeled EC x RW and P34 shown is P34 the progeny. Would I be wrong to say it has the CPKB structure? 1 plant in a 3 gal will stink out wherever your growing, carbon filters are no match it feels like your being fumigated when your not even near it. I ran multiple different cultivars,combined they couldn’t be louder then this which is really cool to me,Most plants I have flowered in the past 2-3 years are terpless or very low nose so they get tossed. I dont keep anything that isn’t loud,labeled,checks all the boxes. I understand we all have slightly different environments,My idea is to create crosses that work well for everybody not just me,the terps are my department. I beat them to hell daily P34 survived through extremely high winds,heat,freezing,under/over watering,light leaks/no light,low/high nutes. I also mainlined the mom to see if she would become fussy at all…nope nothing. In a sense I have completed my mission with Cheese and it feels really nice to finally say that. This was a 2 year project which isnt long but to us smaller growers it all takes time. The one issue with her is she Self Sterile I tried reversing her with no luck and no viable pollen. I will be trying again here soon. From what I have read on here thats how Exodus Cheese is.

More P34. There’s probably a little bit im leaving out,She flowers in 50-56 Days you could pull her at 50 if you were going for peak,56 for more indacouch feeling. She purples from the inside out,she foxtails almost perfectly imo not to much but its there and apparent. Im more then glad how shes turning out so far this isn’t the end I plan on furthering her more so that shes just cheddar cheese and no diesel back end.

Couple more so you know what she grows like/looks like. She throws 5s all around that are serrated on the right side mainly,as she gets bigger she throws 7s that are serrated on the right side with some being on the left here and there but mainly right. She’s a breeze to grow,I could fill a 4x4 with her in a 5gal in a short time as well,shes super vigorous,Clones easy/well. I can’t find a downside/negative to this plant sk far.

4 Play(Chem 4 x Wookie)-Bodhi :beans: these pics are from 2.5 weeks ago,This pheno has been up-potted to a 2 gal. The stem rub reminds me of the essence in the air when your cookies burgers,similar to the leftover grease in the pan,flat top. I enjoy going over every leaf on the ladies the margin,petiole,veins,apex(tip)interest me deeply. I am still learning everyday and enjoy every moment of it. I carry around a 64 page mini notebook and take notes on every single seed I pop,I feel that it’s that important to me,Im also a stickler on labeling I must know what it is so that I don’t end up with 25 possibilities. Of course from one of my moms I could tell,But 25 seeds would be a bit harder I’d have to extract date from my notes and even then I wouldn’t feel good about it and would just give them to my mentor to mess around with(This person is my vault of sorts) sorry for my rambling,I am super excited this morning it hit me that there’s so much here I have to read I knew it was here I just see it a different way like its clicking all of a sudden…super cool! Hoping for warmer weather soon,I plan on trying out some cacti.

Chimera 3 10k cut,same exact pheno I’m reversing right now,If she dumps Ill share pollen. Definitely a washer.I know there’s controversy behind the breeder and all that,Im focused on the plant and would never go hangout with the guy…sounds simpleton but I like to stay in my own lane.





P15 (Ocifer xx x Royal Wedding F1 I wont go on a yap spree here simple and short,Shes easy to grow,does great in my environment,vigorous,produces some of the biggest nugs I have seen personally from anything I’ve grown,Stacks from top to bottom,the lowers are the size of most peoples tops which still amazes me. Its a creeper,smoke a half a j and think your ready for me,soon as you let the first hit out from your 2nd light up you realize you messed up…in a good way of course. I’ve got enough pictures to keep this going forever lol. I am trying to show the good and the bad there isn’t really much going on right now that is bad. Ever sense I got dialed in persay its been nothing but enjoyable,piles of smiles. Ill be back later tonight with some updates I would love to show day by of the Chimera 3 reversing. Time to get stoned! Peace n love,Chap.

I appreciate the feed back very much! I run into issues here and there which Im sure everyone does at times. I found I was babying the seedlings,I have a friend who said “You need to stop babyimg them so much” hahaha its sorta hard not to when Im around them everyday,See what they look like,How there growing all that. I feed heavier now,most my issues were light feeding. Definitely fairly dialed in for only having 1 controller in the whole setup(Flower tent) everything else I just stick my hand in at the top of plants before all air exchanges and ask myself is it to hot for me? No then were good lol weird way to do it,but its worked.

I just smoked a full bowl of that P15,And tbh I thought it had a slightly milder buzz…up untul 15 mins ago when I was standing in front of the oven mixing nutes and all of a sudden I became so disorientated,and it felt like I was near a blackout or something all this time I was wondering why the high was lacking…turns out it isnt,it just takes a little more to get you there this a very racy,slighy paranoia inducing buzz its really starting to remind me of Jack in so many ways. Most the “Forget your name” strains/potent spacey types dont ever bother me because I usually just fall asleep…ik waste the high…this is spacey as hell without any chill to it sorta freaky if ya ask me had to edit 10 words…yep im blasted,hope everybody is as stoned as I am.

Best place to deep dive Punnett Sqaure?

Here’s some more of the Cheese I’m working on (Exodus Cheese x Royal Wedding) x Divine Comedy 4 F1. Hunted the EC then crossed it to RW,now onto this. She flowers fast,Looks very similar to her mother structure wise,The effects are alike to Exodus Cheese,I get a warm feeling in my stomach(almost like I drank a high proof liquor) it then works its way up my throat cotton mouth without a dry mouth? Lol. It really makes me feel like I’m melting once the warm feeling wears off. Lasts for about 1-1.5 hours which is longer then most I’ve smoked these days. No anxiety which is a plus for me. Im an overthinker,I think of every little aspect,issue,solution even if I don’t want to,it becomes tiring not being able to shut your brain off this Cheese has helped miraculously it never lasts long either. Its like an elusive shadow around here. Carbon filters do nothing with her. I received a text in week 7 flower from my neighbor about her. I was so used to the smell that I didn’t notice it reeked. 1 plant in a 2 gal stunk more then 25 others right next to her,which tells me Im on the right track. I would love for people here to grow her and see what shes about I feel like she could outperform smell,effect wise to whatever hype pack shes put up against,i have nothing against them just feel alot of them rarely smell in flower and barely after cure with light effects. I gave a friend my mom that was massive in a 5 gal,she is taking up a full 4x4 wall to wall @ 4ft now which amazes me still,super vigorous,pest resistant,mold resistant,great structure/node spacing,Yields very well keeps right up,i beat the hell out of every plant I touch especially if it’s going to be used in a cross. Heat,cold,over/under waters,nutes,I also bend them,top them 1x a week just to see if they slow down,become finicky Im sure theres a few things Im leaving out. I toss all the slackers. Now if im at 2 months and I have a plant that is looking great but growing slower most the time Ill keep it around for myself,but if its finicky as hell,growing like complete trash @ my scale I have to throw it out,I dont have much room for experiment’s. I also just got into san pedro cactus for ornamental purposes of course. Time tl get stoned-Chap

Now for some males.
4 Play(Chem 4 x Wookie 15)-Bodhi Pheno 1 MALE I just found today he was originally in the C3 reversal tent but I pulled him out due to the uneven tops. I haven’t been paying close attention I have been busy irl lately. I went in today to water and saw sacs which were definitely visible weeks ago if I actually looked. I’m very happy/grateful for this one I will be using him shortly on a bunch of my keepers.more pics of him soon so you can see what he looks like structure wise,Very nice female type structure,vigorous,strong/hearty plant,resinous stem rub/ Trich rails on the leaves chem,burger grease nose,Sharp serrations/Heavy double serrations.


This was the next scheduled Male I was going to use,But now I’ll be going with the 4 Play I want to make a bunch of my own tweaks in the crosses. I will still be using this make for something just no idea what yet,I may end up just doing 2 exact sets of crosses but with 2 different males.
Now MALE #2
Irish Goodbye(Burning Tree(Sour BOG x ECSD) x KIPP(Rare Darkness x Grape Ox)
