Everything you grow looks awesome! I am glad that last airmail made it okay. Hey, are you able to get Kratom seeds? I would like to try my hand at that. Wife uses it 1.5 teaspoons in tea a couple times a day for pain.
Couple quickies before I prep to head for the Doc’s…
Green Freakshows filling in…

Got some more Solo’s transplanted uP into 1 gallon airpots.
I’ve been yanking lots of the old plants in 1 & 3 gallon pots and a shitload of Solo’s. Whatever was going on last month it was just too much stress for both the plants and me! Seeing all these new gals looking healthy convinced me to just get rid of 80% of the strugglers and start over. Finally found some wetable sulfur and have sprayed down all the empty greenhouses twice now so may start to reload. Put in a few more trays of plugs and about 50% are uP already.
Okay, gotta prep for the day out… have a great week!

Well, I’m much happier about having chopped so many plants in the last 2 weeks now. All the new seed batches are looking good, no sign of any pests and best of all, everything looks really happy. I was blown away at how hot the soil in the Solo cups was when I was transplanting them today. I really want to mulch everything down with a wide layer of straw to shade the pots but I’m worried about mold issues. Spotted some white fiber sheeting that’s like ac filter material and I’m gonna order a few meters to try out.
Here’s @BobbyBudz 's Pink Dragon’s Blood (I might have that name wrong, but I like it!).
I noticed 2 plants with crinkled leaves and took a shot of them. We’ll see if they grow out of it or not.
These are also from Bobby… Black Razzberry x Dragon’s Blood.
And yet another of Bobby’s Dream Beans… Purple Royal Afghan x God Bud.
@Tuned 's Jack the Ripper x Dark Line Alchemy… got more of these in plugs too! I only got one female from these last run, but it was so impressive I dug out the 12 beans I’d stashed in the refrigerator. Then Tuned sent me another batch (the now plugs) and some fast flowering Purple Satellites.
Managed to get all 55 Solo’s into 1 gallon airpots spread out in the newly disinfected upper greenhouse. I also deemed the 2-table E&F greenhouse to be risk-free after a couple sulfur treatments so more plugs can move back under the lights in there again. I’ve kept about a dozen of the 60 Panama Reds and will see if they seem to recover…if not they’ll get canned by the weekend. The extra energy spent trying to help plants ‘recover’ just isn’t worth it. It’s not like I have a shortage of beans!

They look very happy indeed! My Pink Dragons Bloods here grew quite large. I hope they are a sturdy and trouble free for you as I found the strain to be.

555! Thanks for checking bro! My touchscreen on my cell phone died last week. Repair shop replaced it and it worked for 12 hours, then went out again. I’ve been back twice and each time they fix it and it konks out again hours later! So no chance to take photos (though I have a few you guys haven’t seen that I can post later!)

I was just a little concerned about you @Tlander . Glad you are ok.

Okay, got a temp reprieve on the cell phone. Gonna take a couple days to get a ‘genuine’ replacement screen for my Samsung…seems the previous replacement was an aftermarket item and it’s unacceptable. But they showed me a workaround so I managed to get a few shots.
I got a ‘little’ carried away with the soaks! We’ve had 2 months of BS with our seedlings and I just got tired of trying to ‘recover’ plants that are never gonna amount to much. So I started a bunch of new soaks. Then, since I wasn’t sure if they’d be any better, I planted more…(what’s new?). I tried to figure out how many we have going now but I lost count somewhere around 120! Thankfully, everything looks much happier!
Meanwhile, the earliest ones got put in 1 gallon airpots and as I was afraid we’d run out of mix I opted to try 3 plants to a 5 gallon pot. I imagine ther’ll be some males to yank and we can always try to transplant 'em to 30 gallon bags if they’re doing well.
Seeded Green Freakshows look to be ‘loaded’!
.
And out in the nursery the ‘Chakruna’ (Psychotria veridis) seedlings finally germinated after 2 months. Started transplanting 'em into 4" pots for the time being.
Likewise on the Sri Siam palm seedlings…
I’ve been doing a long-distance assist on a buddy’s Green Jade Vine pollination. This is a Philippine vine with the most outrageously colored flowers. Anyway, the pollinations were a success and he sent me a couple fruit to try germinating. He called today to say another is in the mail!
That’s about it for today! Hopefully the new hack will get me by until the new screen arrives. Thanks for stopping by!

Looking great
Lots of seedlings to care for. 
The Blue Tara x DLA should be one to watch as long as it doesn’t mold.
Your Purple Satellite seedlings look fantastic, I had a few runts and misfits of those that I culled but the majority are growing nicely now.
Edit - Chakruna. I looked this one up, a very interesting plant that contains alkaloids.

Unkind TL. Has this been passed into law yet? I suspect that’s gonna be a huge boat to try and reverse course on, given all the infrastructure thats in place now. Keep the faith TL!

555! So cool! They’ll take off from that stage. A few ‘hints’… they really don’t like full sun, like continually moist and loamy soil, do better as single plants rather than multiples as they get fairly large as individuals. Send me a picture when you get your first flower (it’ll be a while!). Do NOT cut the old flowers off - they’ll form heavy seed pods which need to stay on the plant for quite a while to fully develop…tons of seed in each one! Great job bro!

A few quick ones! I finally gave up on the Panama Red seedlings that have been struggling for weeks now, and a bunch of others that went in at the same time. The newest batches are looking so much healthier I’d rather just cut my losses. We’ve had a shitload of males and we’re short on LS mixings so I’ve opted for some 3-to-a-pot 5 & 7 gallon airpots. I imagine there’ll be a few more males to thin out sooner or later.
Four different strains here…you can zoom in on the tags if you really want to know!
And some of the newer seedlings…
Nobody knows what’s gonna happen with the rule changes over here, though most media are taking the politicians’ soundbites as ‘real’. Apparently, it’s a done deal, though lawyers will probably be fighting back and forth for a while. A lot of it is just politically-based with one the parties of the coalition government - the ones who decriminalized weed, pulling out and the incumbents jumping at the opportunity to crush their now opponents. Meanwhile the ruling party itself is in a bit of a crisis at the same time and may or may not last very long anyway! Talking ‘politics’ can get people in trouble here, so I’ll steer away from it!

I started this thread a few years ago saying, “Who knows how long it’ll last, so time to jump in”! It’s been a blast as I really enjoyed not having to hide and being able to be out in the full Sun. Just really grateful to have had the opportunity and thereby meeting all of you here at OG! We’ll see what the future holds!
By the way, obviously got the cell-phone fixed (for the third time!) Seems to be holding up so far!

Keep the faith TL. Things have a way of working themselves out (sometimes😁).

Let me know if there is anything to be done from here. I have a spare room if you need it.
You’ll have to split my 12 plants allowed here, so 6 apiece legally.
