Sorry to hear about your Grandpa, DFG.
Sorry for the loss of a dear loved one.
Prayers and condolences to you and the family.
I lost a real good friend a week before Christmas, and he was taken too early, 51 and in “good health”. Massive heart attack took him.
Nice to hear your G-pa kept it rolling in his later years.
On another note, glad to see you hear on OG with your adventures. Followed you on another forum, but it wasn’t anything like it is here. This is a way better forum with friendlier folks that actually help instead of trash and shit talking.

Sorry to hear…grandparents can be every bit as much an influence as parents…some even moreso. Be glad you had that guy as yours. Sounds like there will always be a part of him in you.

Thank you so much for all the kind words everyone. Been a tough time, but I know the only way is forward. Some sections of the journey just are harder loads than others.

DFG / Matchmaker genetics collab project - male has done his job, and both tents are fully seeded. He has the stanky fuel skunky floral vibe, getting a lot of both parents in the smells coming off him. Very excited to see how his kids look and smoke!

Since I signed up here, I’ve only been back to the other forum once, and it was still the same people with their BS. I find it’s much friendlier and a whole different vibe here. People actually help if a question is asked and not talked down upon, also there is a wealth of useful info to be read thru.

Well, life has definitely gotten pretty busy. Ive gone back to university to finish my business degree, and now it looks like we are going to be moving into a new townhouse. We have been looking for a true grow property, but its been getting clear the tides have shifted here in Oregon, and so we ended up pulling the trigger on what is an upgrade, but not quite as nice as an upgrade as we had been hoping to find. I will now atleast have a garage to grow in, and we will have more living space, and the dogs get a small backyard, but not big enough to do any outdoor plants. Cheaper rent then the place we are currently at, so still a win. But its looking like while I finish college anyway, we are going to be doing indoor strictly, unless I find a place to just grow. But anyway, we are hopefully getting keys around the 10th, so willl post the new build out once we are in the new place.

Feels like forever, but starting to get things rolling. We are moved into our new place, which upgraded me into a medium sized garage, and out of flower tents again. The new place still has a lot of work to go, but starting to get it all together. one light in the first round will have the new RDWC setup, which will be the biggest shift in grow style in over a decade for me. The other light will be my standard style in soil. I plan after round 1, assuming I like what I see from RDWC, to add 4 more sites to make it an 8 site no soil, no medium, no more lugging pots, no more lugging around top dressing, or shop vacuuming up water and soil. Goal will be much much cleaner!

Part of this obviously (perhaps) also means I will be way less plants than I typically was doing, which means, Ive had to make some hard choices as to what its staying in my library to be used, and what just didnt make the cut. The choice came down to me wanting to stay in my lane, working my lines. The world doesn’t need me to work more gelato and cookies and hype stuff, so will be focusing on my core lines that I’ve built. I retired the glue, the GMO, the cookies, the gelato, and such. So - plan for the RDWC 4 slots - all dfg.

And as far as breeding goes - I’ll be looking to doing some preservations of my oldest lines, looking like first up will be.
Sour Cherry (c4 Casey band x Livers X Cherry Cheese) x Orange OG Sr71 Purple Kush. Will do an open pollination of whatever I can get to germinate. I made these…quite a while ago now, at least 10 years now, and they have moved to Covelo from Oregon and back in a u haul, shipped to Hawaii and back, and were in an RV fridge for a year as well as 2 years in our Hawaii off grid fridge with tons of power issues…so they haven’t had perfect storage. Will pop the last 40 left in existence, and hope for enough to do an open pollination, while also do some large outcrossing with the above-mentioned strains as well.
