WNC looks awful so hope all is well.
I didn’t think about that either. I sure hope him and his are alright.

Germinated 9-17-24
Day 20
Plants are vegging quite nicely. None of them seem to be very fussy so this should be a fairly smooth ride.
Digging the exaggerated saw tooth leaves on some of these.
Hope and prayers for stanknugzz77’s safe return.

Germination date 6-14-24
Days Vegging : 40
Days Flowering : 75
Total Days : 115
Light Schedule : 10.5/13.5
These are in the process of being harvested.
Smoke Reports in 6-8 weeks.
Here are four male ECSD x Cherry West bx that I’ve removed from the tent over the course of the last couple days:
#3, veg day 50
I thought that that trifoliate on the #3 plant was kind of interesting. One of the remaining females has a few of those here and there, too.
#5, veg day 50 (two pics)
#7, veg day 50 (two pics)
And the #6 male, which didn’t show until I was transplanting everything yesterday, on veg day 52:
So that only leaves me with two plants, the #2 and the #4. Here’s #2 on veg day 52, which was yesterday:
And here’s the #4, yesterday, veg day 52:
Pics’ll start getting better now that I’ve got them in the big pots and all that. Kind of a bummer there’s only two females, but what can you do…?

Day 27
Cherry Face has, so far, been a very agreeable plant to grow.
Some plants are emitting a sandalwood like aroma. Very nice.
Starting to produce some nice side branching too.
Another coupe of weeks and these will be ready for the flower room.
Prayers for Nugzz and family.
Damn, I didn’t even realize that’s where Stanknugzz was located. Hopefully he wasn’t in one of those areas that got wrecked. Fingers crossed him and the family are alright.
I used to talk talk with him a couple times a week, but since Helene there’s been no contact.
I’m truly concerned for him and his family.
I have messaged him a few times with no response which is definitely not like him. Praying he and his family are ok
Same here.
Very much not like him.
Hopefully it’s just that the internet is still out.
Triquetra(triangle kush x Cldc f2) 2 and 3 are still rocking strong though

Day 34
We are over a month into our new adventure and all is going great. I’d imagine in a week or two, they’ll be showing their sex.
At that point, I’ll repot the females into the 15 gallon totes for the flowering stage.
These could get very leggy.
Many are bushing out nicely.
Prayer for Nugzz and family
Dude, seriously… What is going on? I’m genuinely worried. At first, I figured no power, no internet, probably gonna take a couple three weeks to get back up and running, but it’s been a whiiiiiiiile now…
Anyway, to keep this thread going (kind of), the last two ECSD x CW’s I had growing turned out male, making me 0-fer-6 on the seven seeds that stank sent (one of them didn’t sprout, then it did, but by the time I noticed it it was too late). Big-time bummer, but if anybody’s ever followed any of my logs, you’ll know that I’ve been having unbelievably bad luck regarding M:F ratios for the past four or five years. All five of the Malawi Gold x Dragon Energy seeds (not stank’s creation) that I was growing also turned out male.
In all, I planted 22 seeds this round. Nineteen sprouted and I ended up with only five females. Really annoying…
Here are the last two ECSD x CW plants:
#2
And #4
So, yeah, no females to share here… I don’t really care. I mean I do, I wanted to grow those plants out and share the information with anybody who may be interested in checking out stank’s stuff, wanted to be able to smoke some weed that was created by one of my favorite people on the internet, but at this point I’m more concerned with whether or not he’s even fucking alive.
I have sent several messages and nothing I wish there was a way to check on him and his family.
I had a whole sausage party over here with sour black I just pulled them all. I have a few cherry TK that have not shown yet and one sour black so I am hopeful
Yeah, I figure he’ll pop back up here once everything’s… I dunno. No point in sending any more DM’s, though. He’ll get back to us when he can.
I want to apologize to everyone for my extended leave of absence. Some people who have had dealings with me know the area in which I reside, but please do not post the location. I have not been able to really organize my thoughts for quite some time, so my apologies in advance if this is all over the place.
Hurricane Helene absolutely devastated my community. We have been trying to pick up the pieces and put our lives back together ever since. Between working and volunteering as much as possible, I haven’t had much time or energy for the garden and nothing extra for being online.
The good news is that my family is alive and we still have our home. We are very grateful for that. I have countless loved ones who have lost everything and I have met many more who have as well. We have a ton of property damage and no funds to really address it. We are doing what we can to get everything back in working order as we can.
I have always done my best to be the rock for my family. Through the storm and the aftermath, I just kept telling myself that I was alright and that we would make it through this. My mother passed away a couple of weeks ago and I realized that I am barely hanging on. She was elderly and had been sick for a while and on what most people would probably refer to as her deathbed, so it wasn’t unexpected. I thought that I would be more prepared for her passing mentally and emotionally. She was in a nursing home and when I came to pick up her belongings, they told me that her jewelry was “missing”. Well, what they actually said was that she never had any jewelry at all… My mother had nothing at the end of her life for me to have as a keepsake to remember her by, other than her jewelry that she always wore and now it is missing. I filed a police report, but there isn’t really anything else that I can do at this point. It really just adds insult to injury.
I need to reach out to @Great_lakes_Genetics as soon as I get some time and see about getting the funds to him for the Annual Ill Eagle Birdseed Contest first prizes here and elsewhere as soon as I can. I always keep my word and I am still planning to hold the annual contest as soon as possible.
I also need to apologize to @LemonadeJoe, as he had offered me a chance to become a sponsor and we were trying to get everything set up to hold an auction for that around the end of September/beginning of October. I still very much want to become a sponsor, but I will need to put that on the back burner for the foreseeable future, as I try to put mine and my family’s lives back together as best as possible.
My family was without power at our home for 12 days after the storm. I do not live where I grow, but by my assumption as to when the power went out at my spot and when I know that it came back on, I am pretty sure that my grow was without power for ~14 days. I have been growing since I was a kid and I have always been amazed by the resilience of the cannabis plant, but I have never had a grow be without power for 14 days. I haven’t had any time to really dedicate to my grow, so it has basically been on cruise control since the lights came back on, but the only thing that is irreplaceable that I am fairly sure that I have lost completely is my Chem Del La Chem F2 male. I was lucky enough to be in the process of resetting my entire grow, so I had a ton of aerocloners full of cuts. I have planted most everything and roots are starting to show on most of everything.
Side note: Irene OG x (Black Triangle F2) will henceforth be known as Helene
I truly appreciate everyone who has kept up with testing and everyone who has reached out to check on me here and everywhere else. I will get to messages as time permits. Positive vibes…

Good to hear from you and I am sorry to hear about your mom and all the stuff life seems to be hitting you with. Not sure what your religious beliefs are but sending prayers your way. If you ever need someone to talk to hit me up.
You don’t need to apologize to anybody. We’re just glad you’re alive. You’d have to be a total asshole to be like,”Yeah, yeah, okay, but WHAT ABOUT THE SEEDS AND THE GIVEAWAYS???”
Good to hear from you.
