Alright folks don’t touch that dial. I’m back with a whole new line up in the tent.
Way back in about 1998 or so one of my first grows was some bagseed from some pretty good mexi-brick. When I grew it out it ended up being a short bushy dark green indica that tasted just like Vicks Mentholatum so we dubbed it Mentholatum. It was akin to smoking a Kool that would get you really baked so I’ve been looking for a “Menthol” varietal ever since. I saw this listing on MzJill’s Strainly a while back and had to jump.
Brian Berry Mountain Menthol is described like this.
StarDawg x Brian Berry Surprise
Sativa 75/25
Flower Cycle: 56-63 days
Smell- Very light earthy and gassy.
Flavor- Minty Eucalyptus.
Appearance- Medium plant, light green in color with a low leaf to bud ratio. Heavy bulbous grenade-like buds, with many buds per stem, causing the need for scrogging, staking or caging.
Effects- It has a very sedative effect and it is great for pain and increasing appetite.
Also, back in the old days I wanted to try the infamous Sweet Tooth #3, it was all over the place on OG so it was for sure on the short list but I never could afford the price of admission. Now from the things I’ve read I have the next best thing and I couldn’t be more excited.
Sweet Tooth #4 is described like this.
This is a limited backcross release of the famed and now abandoned line of potent, fruity indicas that Spice of Life’s Breeder Steve worked for nearly a decade from the late 90’s to 2005. Known for massive fist-sized buds thickly encrusted with trichomes, Sweet Tooth almost single-handedly jump started the ice hash movement in the 1990’s. It remains one of the best yielding strains for hash making around.
Sativa/Indica mix: 20/80
Indoor maturation period: 8-9 weeks
May 25th I started 4 each of these two strains and I ended up with 3 each popping. One of the BBMM is a freak, I don’t think it’s trifoliate but sure isn’t normal. Otherwise everything seems to be chugging right along. I potted them up into 1 gallon Radicle bags with straight coco and I started feeding them a half strength Cogo’s nutrient mixture about a week ago. It’s been a while since I ran straight coco so this is liable to get real interesting but I wanted to give the Cogo’s and run and that seemed like the best way to really see what it is capable of producing. Anyhow, tonight I went ahead and topped them to get started on the training to afford me some earlier chances at taking clones.
I’m going to try real hard to keep up with this grow better than I did the last one as far as Overgrow goes. That last run with the gg4 was a blast and it was some of the finest cannabis I’ve ever grown but I failed you guys and gals. The thing is, I just feel like it’s time to give back to the community but the last go round didn’t work out that way. Anyway I plan to do better.
I have a couple of “experiments” going as well. I’m trying my hand at some outdoor this year and I’m attempting to get some clones of my Lost In The Woods Cross. I’m probably not going to update on these regularly but they’ll likely make an appearance.
Group Shot
Growella’s Gas - Autos, I honestly don’t expect much at this point.
Blue Jill - Unknown breeder, no further info I was gifted this clone.
SSH - Got this one from the friend from above.
Ripped Buddah - Same friend gifted this one as well.
These are the Lost In The Woods clones taken day 21 of flower. These were bred by me about 13 years ago it’s a cross of BOG’s Lifesaver (grape) X Jack’s Cleaner. If one of these will take that’ll be great otherwise he had a mess of seed so more will be popped soon.
Thing is, I get easily distracted when something goes out of whack like when the frame of that new light just wouldn’t fit. So, I have been giving some CalMag at 4ml/gal and the spots that I had on the one leaf don’t seem to be spreading which is good but the stems are still very purple. I called SoHum yesterday to see what my options are, if it was just me growing with it, I’d just figure it out and probably now buy it again based on principle, but I run a grow shop and I have sold multiple pallets of the stuff and now my customers are starting to see the same issue so I’ve got to come up with a remedy. The good news is I am in contact with SoHum and they are most definitely helping me try to figure it out. They’ve asked for the ph of the soil and I’m not sure how to get that info for them. I have litmus paper as well as a GH ph test kit. I’m going to go google it now but if you guys have any input I’m all ears.
