Tough decisions that’s for sure might have to throw them all in a hat and pick . Good luck deciding they all sound good .

Well my next run is going to be a Grape run. This one was really decided by fate I guess. I was looking through some of the creations from the Mayhem Series, and came across some very light colored, and premature looking Candy Mayhem seeds.
Candy Mayhem is a cross of Grape Candy and Purple Mayhem. I decided to give some a germination test to see how many of them would germinate. Well to my surprise, in spite of how premature they looked, I got almost 100% germination!
Then what to do with all the germinated Candy Mayhem seeds? I have a real hard time throwing away germinated seeds. I almost put them on a salad as sprouts but then decided, hey may as well do a Grape run!
This will be my first look at the Candy Mayhem cross. Because the seeds were premature, none of these were ever shared.
This will mainly be a Candy Mayhem run. If I find some nice ones, I’ll probably make some F2s. I also plan to add in a few other things to keep it interesting including FPOG F2, Thunder Bud, Bubble Gum, and Tahoe Purple Kush.
The test also turned out to be an interesting germination method. I left them in the napkin for over a week. The sprouts were all intertwined. I just put them in a bowl of water, and gently untangled them. Worked fine, and sure was easy.
Here they are when first germinated. Let the Candy Mayhem begin!

Those are some good looking sprouts @Comacus. I’m definitely interested in watchING this grow. Thanks for sharing!

Well both the Fruity Pebbles OG have nice long roots after 2 days, and will probably be ready for planting tomorrow.
Pretty sure I got these in 2010 so was anxiously waiting to see how well they germinated. It does show how well storing in the fridge works at least for 10-11 years.
These were F2s made from an original pack from Alien Genetics original release.
I’ve been wanting to check these out (like so many things) for a while so glad to finally get to run a couple!

The Candy Mayhems have grown a lot in the past week. My plan is to flip these to 12/12 soon when they are small since I have so many to hunt through this run. I’m just trying to wait to let the Indiana Bubblegum, The Flav, and Thunderbud to get a little bigger before the flip.

The Candy Mayhem were getting a little crowed so I flipped them to 12/12 last week. I chopped eight males yesterday. All had nice structure and were sticky.
I kept one that had some purple in his early preflowers for a possible F2. I also have a couple FPOG F2 and Tahoe Purple Kush that have not shown their sex yet. If I get a nice looking male from one of those, I’ll keep it as a possible alternate while I wait to be sure the selected Candy Mayhem male is solid.

Beautiful plants as always @Comacus! I’m very interested in the FPOG turns out.

I think all of the Candy Mayhem will get purple. Like the selected male, one of the females is genetically purple, and started getting purple leaves as soon as I started 12/12.
They are just starting to flower. I have 3-4 that will get pollinated this weekend.

I started collecting pollen from the selected Candy Mayhem male. I’ve been keeping him in a trashcan with a lid so he doesn’t spread too much pollen until I am ready. He’s getting less light so starting to stretch a little. I still like his structure a lot.
I pollinated the three selected Candy Mayhem females this morning.

Well I decided to scrap the Candy Mayhem F2 project yesterday. I found some bananas and a couple male flowers on two of the three “keeper” females.
Also both of the FPOG F2 had a few male flowers so got chopped. I have heard this is not uncommon for this strain.
So chopped five plants yesterday. Tough day in the grow room!
