Hi Beacher,
For the last 12 months it’s been about stabilising a mostly sativa best suited to the patch I use.
This year it’s been a ((707 TruthbandXChannel)+ (X Critical 2.0)) X (MalawiXPanama) 
This is an indoor/outdoor project. Indoor mostly to initially select and also to stabilize, outdoor to test and also select.
The ACE Malawi is ridiculously tolerant of our conditions, I have seen one sit in a 2 litre pot survive to more than two months with no rain and the pheno I am using has an incredible dank oily mango skin smell, so the focus has been to introduce some other genetics into that. I have used a good pheno I have of Medical Seeds Channel + for a lot of my projects, this is just one of those strains that seems to improve everything I cross it with in terms of potency, yield and habit but also it mostly takes on the smell/taste of what you cross it with. This is a very useful characteristic.
Last year it was crazy wet here and I lost a lot through bud rot, so a suitable strain needs to not be solid chunky colas in the wettest month, meaning mixing the right amount of Sativa and Indica etc to get the finish time here around mid March, early April.
At the moment I am also working on a very stinky Tangie/Haze to cross over the MalawiXPanama. Once I have a solid Stinky Lime/Manderine/Mango skin sativa with all the traits I want, I’ll add some 9lb hammer to it to bring it down in height, shorten flower times a bit and put some heft into the buds.

Oz my friend, about middle of the east coast, It’s not always wet, some years it pours for months on end, some years like this year it hardly rains at all and bakes all summer. A good year here is a cracker, but like everywhere I guess they are getting more unpredictable.

G’day G’day from the Valley… The Ottawa Valley that is. I thought I had better start posting a little and getting more involved in this wonderful community. So much to learn. I have been spending a lot of time reading through threads, and the amount of valuable info that is available should be a “feather in the cap” to all those who contribute.
I was on OG 1.0 and was really glad to see it revived from the ashes. I was a newbie then and I still consider myself a newbie now. I managed to take what I learned then and do a few guerrilla grows over the years, nothing huge, just enough for myself and a few friends. With the law changing in Canada (long overdue, imo), I decided to give it a shot again. I was fortunate enough to be gifted a Skywalker OG clone a few months ago and have been using it as a mother plant and re-educating myself on care, cloning, etc. I am a firm believer in the “walk before running” method of learning. Experience, both good and bad, is beneficial as long as I learn from it.
Once I get some pictures sorted out I’ll start a thread on my experience so far. I am not working with a big budget, so it won’t be anything fancy, but hopefully it will serve it’s purpose. Again, the “walk before running” method…lol
Anywhoo, enough rambling, I gotta lot more reading to do. Thanks OG’ers and Peace.

Welcome back to the Overgrow, @anon95954822 !
That’s what is wonderful about growing, you really don’t need a large budget to achieve successful results. Plenty of examples of both the fancy along with the simple set-ups in the grow logs. Everyone brings something unique and intriguing, too!

High everyone, I live in the north coast of Spain, here it is not legal yet to cultivate weed so I just started learning how to grow it by myself to avoid having to buy bad quality one.Thanks to Shadey and LabRat (I met in CC forums). I finally managed to achieve one harvest (leaving left behind many coitus plants with mold and nutrient burns 
) but little by little I am learning thanks to people’s help and patience. Right now I am finishing my first DWC grow and I think the nexts ones will be also this way.
Please forgive my poor English skills and noobish questions, this isn’t something you can learn from one day to another, but after visiting many sites since the coitus of CC Forums I think I will stick to this great community, cheers …

Onward and upwards is the go mate 
At least you have chop to smoke that you grew with your own two hands and that’s what it is all about at the end of the day.

Newly arrived Zone 6 cultivator here. This cold weather is a challenge for sure. Still newish at growing, and have had some success and a bit failure. I’m a hack cook, amatuer baker, and plan on opening my own kitchen in the near future. I like sports, food, and pretty girls.
I dislike dog poop on the bottom of my shoes. Let’s grow together as humans and farmers.
