Those are looking pretty nice!
Here’s my flower tent a 4x4 with three XS1500 in it, aroun for weeks from the flip:
Seedlings got moved to the 3x4 under my QB288 BSpec panel at 120w, repotting immanent for these dudes and dudettes:
Leaving the sideways 2x4 as just a roomy mom tent for the moment, though not for long:

Jealous of the sideways 2x4 - that looks like an ideal veg rig.

I’m in the middle of packing up the breeder packs by pheno and chuck for all you donators @Weednerd.Anthony @Guitarzan @buckaroobonsai and a couple others who helped behind the scenes like @MonsterDrank y’all are going to get some nice packages next week! Thanks for believing in me and encouraging this first repro, it was a heck of a success even if I’m still picking seeds out of my nugs every day

Reasons why I love my local Asian food market so much:
-they’ve been there since I was a kid, and the bitter/funny/weird Viet guy behind the counter is my age, he was probably a teen working there when I used to go in at 16-17 myself
-it’s just a great fucking market in many ways
-he gives me free shit randomly because we’re homies now I guess? Like this time it was a whole case of the real Ref Bull, Thai Carabao ooo yeah o love this stuff, they’re the ones who introduced me to it back before RB was sold in the US.
-he’s also got a ton of cars out back, most notably THREE original Nissan Z Cars, one racer and two parts cars that are pretty nice themselves:

Another amazing mix today from that same producer who did the murder ballads, he’s the former world and jazz buyer for Tower Records in London and now does these compilations, I’m in love guys and gals:

@Dirt_Wizard you’re a trendsetter! I just noticed that ac infinity now sells a sideways 2x4 tent for propagation! I guess they owe you some recognition.

Adding this one to the repro and expansion list for the next few years: @Alaskagrown has been kind enough to offer me a an old old pack of Jack’s Cleaner 2 that was gifted to him by Chris/Meduser of Woodhorse Seeds back when. I will be excited to try and grow this one and maybe see if I can select a good pheno from it to pollinate in particular:
CANNABIS
Strain Legends: Subcool Talks 20 Years of Jack’s Cleaner
The popularity of most cannabis strains waxes and wanes in the same rapid rhythm as music and fashion. Others stand the test of time and become the stuff of legend. Add to that list Jack’s Cleaner — the strain that launched the ascendancy of TGA Subcool Seeds.

A lot of the great strains of the current cannabis era are made with the elite genetics of years past, and when it comes to fancy ingredients, a good pheno of Jack’s Cleaner from Subcool of TGAgenetics is basically some extinct black truffle oil since there were only two clones ever handed out.
The history of this strain now stretches back over twenty years, all the way to Subcool’s first computer.
Back in 1994 the world was as connected as it had ever been thanks to the rapidly spreading phenomenon of the Internet. Within the new digital universe, Subcool found a legion of compatriots growing pot, many of whom were responsible tax paying adults.
One of the first fellow cultivators Subcool befriended early on the web went by the name of Skoosh. Subcool and Skoosh eventually decided they weren’t sketched out by each other after some heart to hearts involving ice cream and traded genetics.
Skoosh sent subcool 200 seeds of a strain he’d put his name on. While Subcool didn’t have the exact generational details of the mixing and matching, Skoosh was said to have a fantastic genetic lineage that included Pluton, Lambs Bread, Purple Haze, and Northern Lights. Pluton was an acclaimed offering from the Super Sativa Seed Club bred by the Legendary Neville.
After popping a bunch of sketchy looking sativas from the Skoosh’s party pack in a propagation project that took roughly a year, Subcool narrowed it down to a few decent phenos that became one awesome one. The winner was an extremely resinous lemon scented pheno that reminded Subcool of Mr Clean household scrub. Subcool decided to name it “The Cleaner.”
The Cleaner on it’s own, while dope and sticky, was not a viable strain. Subcool noted that the stems weren’t holding up and the yield wasn’t there either. Thankfully there was a male Jack Herer from Sensi Seeds in his garage he hadn’t tossed yet. He put a small plant of The Cleaner in with the Jack clone and it resulted in a few dozen seeds.
In those seeds he would find the game-changing strain Jack’s Cleaner that would go on to produce one of the strains of the decade, and generally speaking in an indica-dominant world, one of the greatest sativa-leaning hybrids ever.
He would never produce the Jack’s Cleaner in seed form and bred the Ripper as a viable stabilization. Today Jack’s Cleaner dominant phenotypes of Jack the Ripper are a sought after cut for breeding purposes. Any Jack’s Cleaner you see in a dispensary is Jack’s Cleaner 2, the backcross with Jack the Ripper.
It took Subcool years to see what he’d truly stumbled on. He knew it was good pot, but it wasn’t until 1997, while hosting a gathering of his cultivator peers, that he found out just how banging it was.
In this mini-cup for the ages, organized by the group known as The 77 (which included Overgrow.com code writer Shabang and Eric 77, who posessed the original California Orange) Subcool used that Cali O as the mom for Agent orange and Jilly Bean.
That first meeting Jamaica 1 featured cuts like Erkele, Jack Herer, and Blueberry, but Jack’s Cleaner took home every first place vote.
Jack’s Cleaner went on to be included in the genetic lines of many great strains, but its earliest offspring — Jack The Ripper — is still the most famous. It started making huge waves in the late 2000s. Since then its lineage has continued to branch out, including the fantastic Ace of Spades and purple variant of the strain Qleaner.
“A lot of people breed with Jack the Ripper,” Subcool said. “When you see major companies breeding the male they want the cleaner dominant version. That can get up to 6% THCV. For people who are sick it shows great promise.”
Subcool added that the cause for the THCV was the limonene profile of Jack the Ripper and that the effects of the original Jack’s Cleaner are well known.
“Joint one gets you high, joint two gives you a full melting feeling, and joint three causes you to hallucinate,” he said.
One can expect to see many amazing things from the genetic family started by Jack’s Cleaner for many years to come.
@Weednerd.Anthony can you feel it?!?!?!

Keeping it rolling on that same family of genetics, here’s some shots of my Jack The Ripper at five weeks in flower, she’s super greasy lemony cleaner and acrid too something solvent-y that I like:
And here’s my Big Don “Warbird” cut growing nicely, not much foxtailing so far but this is also my first look at her growing healthy from a clone, my last few plants all were not even remotely dialed, this one feels proper and right to the plant from seed I think:
Veg tent booming after a pot-up for everyone:
Mom tent also good, needs a trim:
Pretty satisfied thus far with the triple XS1500 Pro setup in the 4x4 for flowering:
Got some mail in recently I’ll post up tonight with thanks for the senders too

These are original Subcool genetics. Chris(Meduser) got these in bulk from Sub so this was the packaging they were sent in.

Dayummm I love the weird stuff old packs sent direct from one person to another and passed down. I save all my empty packs especially the ones that are unusual or really old, I’m eventually going to put them into a big frame matted onto a piece of pictureboard someday.
