It is…chill right now. Out on the patio, daughter “fixing” her toys with a wooden hammer, listening to the sheep making a ruckus for being put in the barn early.
Hopefully she turns out well! Her sister is in my buddy’s backyard.
You have a spectacular season ahead of you as well! What a bunch of great setups
Let’s say I am kind of accepted OD EU grower and have a older account on other forum… 5 years back I had contact to someone and I did a favor with ordering something from uk and then sent it to him.
I saw that he managed to get these seeds again after he got robbed his pollinated lady 2023 OD and I offered him to make the Repro because he is a Guerilla only guy he sent 9 seeds to me and kept only 4 for himself.
My little freezer is soon empty and then I can keep clones of each and explore further after I managed to build up a proper set up!
Forgot to congrat you for the growth in the garden @FieldEffect , it looks really promising. Good OD bud pics incoming. Kinda regretting the bahia did not make it OD, reading the description it looks like it would have been quite good.
She’s pretty tolerant of the whole year-round gardening thing. We have our differences of opinion though
Thanks! Bahia may make it still. Haven’t seen any sprouts from Honduras x Panama in the Slow Hero pot. If I don’t see anything tonight I’ll get a late start on another Bahia for outside. I think I have one bean left
You just put honduras x panama and bahia in competition in my head, that’s tough! I need a joint Hope the former will make it still, I’d want to see that.
I saw one of the Honduras x Panama hatchlings last night watering. It’ll be a race to see what wins. I suspect the HxP will rapidly overtake the Super Slow Hero.
So, Bahia outdoors will have to wait until next season. Although, the more I look at the KC Brains website, the more I’m inclined to try the Leda Uno (I’d have to place an order anyway). I’ll know in the next few weeks how I like the Bahia Black Head.
@OGSince03 what a time to pop by your Cyber Cristal project coincides nicely with this conversation. I dig the tissue culture experiment as well, looking forward to watching it come along.
When I was 14-15 I had printed out the listings for KC Brains and Nirvana, which were reasonably the only seeds a teenager like me could afford ($20/pack). 2001-2 maybe. OG v1. Back in those days I lusted after Cyber Cristal, Afghani Special, and Leda Uno. On the Nirvana side, B-52, Blue Mystic, Aurora Indica and AK-48. 16-year-old me would be delighted to see me now
I love reminiscing about my teenage years with the then-forbidden dreams. Dreams of growing anything I wanted from the expensive breeders, Sagamartha, THSeeds, Serious, etc.
It’s almost like I found my twin !! Those were the good days for sure. KC Brains and Nirvana were the most affordable which is why I was a bit confused when Freeman asked for Cyber Crystal. I of course had little first hand experience comparatively at the time.
I remember wanting White Russian back then pretty bad. 23% was crazy talk then
I now want to go back through and create a bucket list for beans from this conversation!
LOL I thought the same thing when I saw your thread @OGSince03
I don’t remember White Russian. I remember drooling over the pictures of SAGE in Cannabis Culture magazine. It was mid-20s but the seeds were just SO expensive to me back then. I think it’s interesting seed costs have about stayed the same despite at least 50% inflation. Crazy
Weed farm is doing well. It’s been hot AF (>100F 5 out of 7 days)
Look really close there’s a small pair of Honduran cotyledons down there
Here’s the rest. They’re flying now! Fighting Bilbo keeping right up with C99 and MDS x Oaxaca. It’s somewhere in this picture dump white tag @MissinBissin
In other news, Pumpkin is having a tough time. I don’t know if it’s the heat or what but the older leaves sure aren’t happy. pH and EC are good, ~6 and 2mS. Water isn’t too hot, I don’t think anyway, at 84F. Any ideas? Newer growth seems good the older leaves are “encrispening” - my favorite belly laugh term shamelessly stolen from @Not-Notjosh
You are right about seed costs. Not much has changed.
I wonder if adding beneficials would help the situation. Roots look a bit dark. I usually changed my res when I ran water culture but eventually went to beneficials to assist.
Hydroguard worked well for me but I believe there are others. Just some kind of beneficial to break down dead roots and over populate anything that you don’t want.
Love the Walmart special too btw! Cant wait to see what you make!
I’ve been trying to run “sterile” with HOCl. About 0.2ppm
Not sure how that would react but certainly worth getting a small bottle and giving it a try. Probably grab the Canna one (Cannazym) so I can keep some homogeneity in my product line for the indoor setup (been using Canna Aqua)
I read quite mixed things about HOCl in conjunction with enzymes. I’ll give it a go next res change (skipping HOCl) and take good before/after pics we’ll see
