Plants are in the starting block, i play a bit razor edge with the nutes in keeping them greasy until the last second. They started to switch the uptake only two days ago, they enjoy the sun ^^ Still waiting the perfect window to start the PK boost, diva-bitches. I will lower by a quart the amendments this week and fade a bit the plants to prepare them for their week of PK.
The floral still very active and is preparing the colonization of stems, worth the shots. Phenotypes are fully expressed also, “i can see the future buds” like will say Neo ^^
The #5. Cloned. I’m growing almost only for this one this round, in term of weed. The #5 is what i suspected, a combo of bazooka + perpetual [flo/growth]. The plant is already the head in the reflector, i still haven’t the guts to modify her superb shape lol This one is going to be long, and it will explain also why this line is often out-crossed “for yield” by innocent souls. To stay short and don’t fall in phythormones slang, this pheno have a tropical character. Thin powerful stretch, then when the floral start to kick she become just fat in continuing her growth until the senescence. You’re not ready for the look of the plant just before the harvest ^^
The #7. Cloned. Always more generous, she will start to populate stems next week. Very lemoney, almost an agressive “industrial cleaner”. She’s have the head in the reflector too, but the stretch isn’t going to be permanent.
The #3, that i call abusively the “C99 lead”. Complex fruity scents, skunky/plushy floral shape but she play in a battlefield where the Big Bud 2023 is queen overall. It’s not how i perceive a JH, i prefer to work a classic afghani/skunk for this purpose. It’s a balanced and unstable form of all components : skunk, NL with a hint of haze for the structure.
The #6, that i call abusively the “A13 lead”. Totally in fight against the NL5 and the Skunk. This specific pheno is interesting, it switched to a spiraling phyllotaxy (it’s the only one) costing a bunch of energy. This pheno can’t survive to the #5 and #7 repro. Adios chiquita.
Now the NL5H, calling it the grand-ma of the Jack Herer is maybe more accurate. Jack finally is a double Haze with the NL5 and the Skunk on each side of the meeting. I culled her last night, space crisis.
The #1, initially planned for the repro with her own male. Now rejected in favor of her sister for the F1 with the ERSB.
The rejected #8, showing also the NL5 dominance. One of the secondaries became naturally a secondary apex, kicking auxins lol
The good old SD stinking the hell. I only smell her when i open the main tent. Odors start to stay a lot longer when i touch the stems. She continue to confirm everything in the checklist like it was her mission on Earth. She definitively don’t like my cheap LED, light burns are gone for good and she enjoy the blast of neon just beneath the bulbs.
The less probable repro is on the go, good mother. And she continue to stink the old Master Kush. And to absolutely don’t taste like an old MK. Very disturbing smoke trough the samples of the pruning. Potent and lasting high, but at the opposite of my favorite JH plants. “head in the clouds”, nerves melted, incredible well-being, don’t affect the pain but the tolerance of the pain. I’m very happy about this discover.
The only NL5H female seeded still at work, she will be totally taken until overnight. It was too short to put her outside for the shots. She took almost one week again, male’s pollen is at peak and throw golden grains that are shining. Good beast, that stink the garlic lol One time the female is done, my wife will collect him to continue different experiments. It will also make space for the SD clones, it’s quite packed.
Worth a little pause, talking lead breeding. The F1s actually in formation make me crazy but not necessary the supposed way. The Farmer already accepted his errors with the lost of the NL5H males, the Stoner carry the responsibility now. “Fuel”, the Farmer and the Stoner are calling it a “Jah’s release”.
The F1 are directly on the standards and on the grade as it. I don’t even need to grow the seeds to know this. It happens sometimes and it’s frustrating, but i’s where also the ego is totally useless. Jah made this jewel and it’s a situation to accept fully.
“I cracked two packs of Sensi, grown extracted embryos doomed to die after an insane battle, killed by error the male of one of the lines, then crossed the best i had to go ahead.”
When you will see the seeds growing, you will understand that i can make them pass for a long work and build a ridiculous bullshit to give her a legitimacy. It’s the wrong way : assume totally. If you need to wrap your work in gas-lighting, it’s because the work is not enough in itself.
I can’t call it a chunk in all honesty. Everything is mapped the hell, choices and compromises are not random, all specimens were sampled at this point … and in the same time, it’s a pure Jah’s release i can’t claim. Vicious right ?
The true lesson in this weird shit is that I’ve “burnt” two lines in these F1s after have taken the time to evaluate all combos. I’ve compiled in the core the pre-IBL pressure with the most complementary pairing, over to really chunk everything with the ERSB. As crazy that it can appear, it’s how you can piss F1 fems for the junkies.
In another life, i will use the NL5H x ERSB to set a fem production unit directly. Cloning the ERSB mother, using its pollen on the cloned NL5H for the season. Generally i limit the stock with a goal set, and i blast the plants until i reach this stock. More pushy to trade, with a little effort on the documentation of the line. Not joking.
But this one will become an IBL ^^ Not the guts to make survive embryos again, at insane price. My padawan have a NL5H Nice in stock, it give me the freedom to reinject the improved parts at one point in the IBL : NL5H Nice of the padawan and my ERSB ibl. Fate is set, can’t wait to smoke the weed of Jah lol
The packed pseudo-veg lol Mostly filled with the SD. I show in my hand the future motherplant, cloning process was usual, selecting the stems and selecting the rooting clones just like seedlings.
The experiment is not doomed, one “lower node” clone survived (the little piece of shit in front) and i transplanted the apex in Oasis. Fingers crossed. This batch of clones wasn’t good, trying to clone like my wife is not strategic lol Back to the comfort zone ^^
The macro show the disorder generated by the panel, it totally disappear (but don’t repair) when i put them under … 12.5 times more intense light, but under neons. The units are set in roof of the tents, fixed, well cooled and i continue to explore the effects of different “potentiometer steps”. When plants reach the critical foot beneath the panel, it accelerate the funk and the SD just hate it as fuck.
Note : The veg panel is used with the IR/UV deactivated, it bump quite strongly the white led intensity. Zero traces of anything in the pollination tent using the same panel (but dialed 100% all the time) with UV/IR activated. The uptake of the plants and their cycles is important, it’s not only about a switch in the panel.
Electronic flickering of LEDs + directional intensity of this flickering is for now my theory. The skunk#1 i have to repro will tell me a lot more, she’s historically very useful to map lights intensity and its effects. My first idea to take COB for the 1x1 units still itchy. For now the lab is in lean mode, let’s see this later.
The whole tent get a nematode treatment, again. Damned this year they are crazy agressive, they come by waves. Too much storms and tempest, too high RH. Can’t wait August the ground burnt by the sun, it will break their cycles all around the house.
Can’t wait to give room too, in removing the specimens from the pollen tent. I’ve some STS to spray ^^ Two weeks i work my ass of on old notes of formulas of fems production for the SD. I think i cracked definitively this expensive formula, i fucking hate chemistry. It’s relative maths taking in count molecular weight of reactions. I prefer dumb ass logical algebra. ASM over high level algos, hard-coded-compiled instead frameworks ^^
The fabulous Shiva Shanti II ^^ But also a new tech to grow in stasis plants under the canopy, i call it the “Ghanaian style”. Because it’s just how the best weed is grown, under the shadow of trees. But also how they obtain this insane creamy cocoa, the landraces work in symbiosis. Spare SD cuts are placed under too.
The Darwinian corner, they start to want more food. Gently. Their metabolism switched hormonally, making them quite attractive. I’ve not culled the two mutants yet, maybe this week. That’s the only case where i’m mesmerized by the work of Jah and map it religiously as a lesson. It miss a lot to don’t have a safe guerilla spot here, i’m surrounded by pricey vineyards. And hunters are douchebag here, they privatize all forests they can and are hunting close to habitations. Very dangerous in Autumn and not even for the plants but you lmao Alps were so cool for this, with spot only possible to reach with a boosted CR500 that have the rage and insane torque.
They aren’t dank only for me ^^ I’ve tons of birds around, the soil is full of life too … traces of a bloody war ^^
You can’t believe how these wraps smell and taste good. I’ve made a solution with diluted honey (10ml/liter) inside which I’ve infused vanilla pods (3 pods per 30ml solution). Backwood wraps reverse engineered, in a super high grade version.
But the solution need refinements, the leaves are fermenting since … March. 5 months now ^^ And still not dry enough, i’m using a semi hot flue-cure now. Too much honey. But damn when a bit stay on my finger and that i taste it … just heaven.
Stay vindicative with your breeding plans, generate singularities no matter what. All possible crosses are already made, don’t forget it in 2024 for the next decade. Join the Corsairs or perish with honor in the ocean ^^
Note : this grid function make me crazy …
