What about him is catching your eye?
Looks like the one at the “top” of the tray’s got some big ol’ trifoliates, huh? That’s kind of interesting, no?

Something about these leaves 
Can’t find the previous plant pics but i’ve seen this trait before on some real good smoke. Think it’s a NL5 trait but not postive
Plus he’s got a nice structure and is sticky in veg

I found myself spending a bit of time staring at it too 
That sharp serrations… Hmm SS… Might be the right male for #2.

Yeah, that looks cool. I like it when they kind of “overlap” like that, too.

9 days in and I’m only just now starting to see some new growth starting in the octos 
Also, looks like my usual feed mix is too hot for these octos so I lowered it down to 6g maxibloom from 7g.

Hit send too fast 
So yeah, girls have been in the octo’s for ~9 days under 24/7 lighting around 300watts. I’m only just now starting to see some new growth coming in, so I’m hoping that means they’re rooting fine? I didn’t fold the tops of the pots down or anything, they’re in a full 18 inches of soil.
All that sound normal to you guys that have ran octopots before? @Papalag @ifish @BarefootAndBlazed
In other news, wife has been having lower back arthritis/muscle related pain so I’ve been trying to find stuff that helps with that. Flower and otherwise. I ran out of Sebring’s CBD lotion so ended up going to the dispo. Found a 100mg THC topical lotion and the wife said that knocks out all of it pretty much immediately but obviously doesn’t last forever.
Bubba, OG’s, Blueberry, SSDD, etc. related stuff doesn’t seem to help with this pain at all. I’ve been trying to find stuff that does. I did pick up some Pebble Paradise(GDP x OGK) from Aeriz over the weekend and that one actually seems to help her out a bunch.
I was thinking of starting some of Samwell’s Port Wine Cheese or Port Wine Cheese x Koffee next week once we get back to a waxing moon cycle. Interested to know if that cross has helped anyone in this regard, or if you know of other lines that might help muscle related and/or arthritis pain?

Dude… my heart to yours!
Mrs. P has found that Tony Green’s GG4 RIL has been helping cut through her migraines in a way that the SSDD i grew out doesn’t. I mean it did a great job until she found that the GG4RIL worked more efficiently for her than the SSDD which is still great.
Do you have? If not PM me and I can send you some F2’s in hope that they may help you cut through that pain the way it helps my Mrs. 
Also, if you go into making your own topical look into DMSO:
“uses for DMSO has grown to include such things as: osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, synovitis, mental illnesses, Down’s Syndrome, emphysema, cancer, scleroderma, Raynaud’s phenomenon, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, peripheral neuropathies, spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, strains, sprains, bruises, burns, wounds, etc. In highly active populations such as athletes and military personnel, DMSO is especially popular as a treatment for musculoskeletal injuries. While DMSO may help to reduce the pain associated with some musculoskeletal injuries, it has not been shown to be of any anti-inflammatory benefit”
When added to a topical cream in appropriate amounts it makes the salve transdermal so it now penetrates into you circulatory system.
This does mean though that you make sure to clean where you apply it, wash your hands well and don’t lean on stuff where you apply it… cause anything mixed with DMSO will travel into your system!

Ah I wondered on the gg4! I know Tonygreen was saying it really helps his back out, wonder if it’s the same kinda pain
I do have a retail pack of the RIL I bought when he first put them out. I didn’t have any luck with the growshow ones, all herms, so it kinda put me off running the retail ones

Back pain aint no joke man i know first hand how debilitating it can be. Maybe try a full blooded indica for more relief like a black domina or something along those lines. Persinally i find g13 hashplant does good.

I’ve experienced muscle pain relief from TS last year, and someone locally has told me recently it’s helped with their arthritis to their surprise. Bodhi’s SSDD crosses might be worth exploring a bit? Something like GG4 x SSDD or something like that may increase your chances. Don’t remember any of my SSDD F1s havent that effect, but I’m also not in chronic pain.
I’ve seen GDP clones listed by some of the popular clone vendors, that may be worth trying also?

It takes 2 weeks for the roots to hit the res
Then you will see major growth

GM @HolyAngel . Any pics of your babies in the octos? 9 days I would expect roots to be coming through within the next 5 days max IMO.

Interesting on the TS working a bit for ya there TK is like a vitamin for me but does nothing for my pain at all sadly. and the ssdd is really only good for nerve related stuff for both my wife and I. Numbs out my carpel tunnel and tendonitis pain. There was one or two in the hundred or so I ran that had a heavier blanket effect that kinda helped with muscles, but still wasn’t good enough for me to wanna run or keep it
–
Most of the heavy indicas give me drunk-like effects or give me anxiety usually good to pass the fuck out on but that’s about it. No daytime use there

Yeah, I was just more-or-less wondering if the SSDD male that Bodhi uses is different in medical effects than the SSDD phenos that you’ve explored. It’s different in psychoactive effects for me than the SSDD F1s from what I can tell in the crosses I’ve tried.
If you’ve tried a GDP cross that has worked for her then trying to source a GDP cutting seems like it’s probably worth a shot and may be an even safer bet.

Gdp is a good choice too but knock out . Seems the ones that relive you most are the most narcotic

That Pebble Paradise seems to be functional daytime meds for her at least.
Possibly Idk what male was used for the F1’s but I didn’t find it there either.
I don’t have this one. I think the only beans I have that for sure used that first male are the Sunshine #4 F2’s but the chem3/4 isn’t doing anything for me pain wise, just good smoke I do have the Guava Sunshine(Stardawg Guava x SSDD) though. Pretty sure that stardawg guava cut was supposed to have muscle pain relief but idk for sure.
Yeeeaahhh… I’m pretty sketch on taking in more cuts but I could possibly be swayed on that. I’m also not trying to pay 100+ for it though If someone wants to trade or something for a cut that might help, I’d likely be down. Otherwise just going to rummage through my seed collection…
So far it sounds like GG4RIL and/or the PortWineCheese are still my bets I do also have JOTI’s Gods Grand Double Purple, wonder if that might do it too

TBH I doubt the GDP would be that impressive for you. I liked it, but found it a pretty mellow evening high. That’s the cut from gmohouseofclones… supposedly the norcal heirloom cut. Ended up letting it go as it just wasn’t all that impressive compared to tahoe og & lapk for evening high/flavor/plant growth.
