It’s been too long, so here comes another pretty big update…
First I want to thank @anon93244739 for his insane Beans&BBQ giveaway! It had me glued to my phone for hours. I’m not ashamed to admit that I was one of the big bubblegum winners! For once “The Secret” actually worked, I have been thinking Indiana Bubblegum ever since he started teasing them 2 weeks ago…
Shout out to @Oldtimerunderground aka “Uncle O’time” for the Purple Kush x Purps Secret! Not immediately, as I am committed to other things for a few cycles, but soon, I plan to do a big purple hunt, maybe once the Sundae Driver’s hit, and these WILL be a part of it!
A big thanks to @firehead for the well filled flip of Azad Kashmir! I think these are my first landrace seeds! I missed out of the Lefthand AK giveaway, so I am SO thankful to get my hands on these. Once I get the hang of some breeding these pure, undiluted primary cannabis colors are the key! 
A giant thank you to @TestOfOath for his 3 Dosidos Auto crosses: Dosi-Cut (which I read, and prefer 
as, Dosi-Cat 
), Kush, and Walker! As promised some of these will be going in my next run of Auto’s!!! I will tag you when I do!
A Crazy Multi-Thanks to @District_Flora for his care-package who’s contents include: The Matrix Revolutions DVD, Two super cool old-timey playing or maybe taro cards (3 of swords and 6 of wands), and three packs of Bohdi hybrids, El Chupanibre #2 (candied lemon peel/trix cereal Pheno), El Chupanibre #3 (Sprite Pheno), and Pyrite(Fools Gold) which is My Fault [Male] x Columbian Gold. I did not expect all three, but as promised, I will run some of them in my next photo run (which is my next run overall too). Your custom seed bags are very clean looking!
Thank you OG Santa 
aka @DougDawson for sharing some of @anonymous4289’s Soloberry2. I read that @anonymous4289 was pretty disappointed by a lack of grow reports and pics from previous testers, so I am going to do my best to remedy this ASAP!
Thank you @ReikoX for your all your excellent threads and the consistent fun of your Free-Seed-Friday giveaways. My 2ed victory netted me a stuffed flip of Durban Poison x JLO! Your beans or highly coveted here at OG… I am going to break out a portion and forward to another OG’er who is pining for these! Spread the seed!
Finally many thanks to the amazing @anon71563794. I feel honored to be an early tester for Petal Power Seed Co. I believe these are Red Dragon x Aloha OG… so thus (Red Dragon) x (Maui Wowie x Primate OG). These are going to anchor either my next indoor photo-period run, or one of my fall outdoor gardens, depending on her input and preference…
Oh and my PPSC magnets are breeding too !!!
That’s all my thank-you’s for this week…The love 
my fellow OG members continue to show blows my mind each and every day! You all make getting mail 
FUN, despite the bills 
.
So, my main flower cab has been struggling with both fungus gnats and whiteflies. It is all the more stressful and heartbreaking as I am close to harvest. After hemming and hawing for a few days I decided I needed to intervene so I ended up spraying a combo of Smite and Azasol. Some reading I did suggested that the essential oils in the Smite will disperse and/or evaporate after about a week, and it can be sped up or helped along by spraying the plants off (after a few days) with water. So I did very thorough applications for 2 consecutive days just at lights-out, for the whiteflies. I also did a Safer Soap soil drench at an application rate of 60mL/Gal (2oz/Gal) for the fungus gnats. I also hung some yellow sticky traps to catch any adult fliers, hopefully before they lay eggs…
The good news is I have not seen any whiteflies the past few days. Hopefully these girls will go ahead and finish sometime soon…
The new cohort of autos are all going well, here they are in their home…
And here are some better group shots…
4 of the Sour60 Auto’s from @cannabliss ended up in the flat with @anon71563794’s Freakshow seedlings…
And a closeup of the freakshow, trying to silhouette their leaves against the white background…
Apparently @Mr.Sparkle caught wind of the teensie-weensiest bit of shade being cast on his seeds and shot a single sparkle 
all the way across the multiverse and right into the one Cinderevil seed that didn’t germinate with the rest of the cohort. This was the result… Now instead of having 4 plants in 5 pots, I have 6 plants in 5 pots. I think I will just let them grow together for the full run…
I also had a Sour60 auto from @cannabliss that just could not get out of her shell. She was like this for at least 3 days, and I tried misting it, and the glass jar to raise the humidity, to no avail. So I had to intervene, some careful tweezer work later and I think, or at least hope, she will make it.
As things stand here are the germination results from this cohort:
Cinderevil from @Mr.Sparkle: 6/6
Spotted Lime F2 from @JBow918: 5/5
Tycho Monolith from @anon4675195: 4/7 (I accidentally killed 2 so really 6/7)
Sour-60 from @cannabliss: 5.5/7 (The one I helped out of it shellmet is the .5 as it could go either way)
In other news the Blueberry-60 Auto from Mark in an outdoor garden are blooming away. The females all seem to be well pollinated, with shriveled pistils and huge swollen calyxes. I only wish I had been able to keep them separate until the girls had developed larger buds. As it turned out my seed harvest may end up smaller than I had hoped. C’est la vie.
I pulled 1 of the 3 Blueberry-60 auto males out of the garden and put him into a bathroom on parchment paper to catch falling pollen, which is seemingly working. My past efforts to catch pollen have all failed, with all the pollen going up into the air, not down into my bowl or onto my paper. So I am very relieved this is working.
That all for now, till next time…
Thanks For Tuning In,
Dirtron
