Mexican Day 77
Cleaning tents now. Everything is harvested except Mexican (I’ll photograph tomorrow). Starting diesel project tomorrow, was going to push back but I need to clear untested clones first. Only keeping GG4 and MMB so I’m sending those two in for HLVD testing.
Definitely need to build a more automated system soon. I’ll be performing a few germination test as well.

Germinating today.
Found these. Probably start them as well. Sour Strawberry (BOG) x Third Dimension (Subcool)

Almost 100% germination on all seeds at this time.
Exceptions: Katsu 80% (8/10) & BB x SD 50% (2/4)
I sowed the seeds into RapidRooters this morning (11.15.23). 11 seeds still need to be sowed. 7/11 germinated currently w/above ratios.
*Decided to only keep GG4 Josey going forward. That’s why she’s separated. All others will be flowered with breeding project in a quarantine style or placed into current flower run.

(11.17.23) Next Morning
(11.19.23)
Hoping more of the Katsu break ground, I’d be happy if all were males. I’ll pick up another pack from him for the Stoney male next drop if I don’t get a couple males. Although I’ll go for the Sour Diesel IBL next time.
Total above ground ratios:
-Top Dawg 11/12 (91.66%)- -Karma 11/14 (78.57%)- -Katsu 3/10 (30%)- -PiffCoast 8/10 (80%)- -Old Red 4/4 (100%)- -BB x SD 2/4 (50%)
*Top Dawg, Piffcoast, and Karma have more about to break ground but not added because they have not made it all the way.
My use of mycos is simply a $1.50 bag of “Mushroom Compost” and worm castings I add when I Compost and Solarize my soil after each use. I get fruits from most pots and once removed the root mass will be populated with mycelium and trichoderma visibly.
Finishing the last of the seeds from the previous run tonite.
Had to hand remove a lot of seed casings and membranes across all different breeders work. Just a pair of tweezers.

Gorilla Glue 4 Josey Day 21 Flower
Mexican Day 86 Flower (Week 12+ 2 Days)
42 Diesel Seeds made it to seedling for the open pollination. Will save female clones and do a pheno hunt with the plants that have the best terps.
All cups are labeled, here are the ratios:
Top Dawg 12/12 (100%), Karma 14/14 (100%), Katsu 3/10 (30%), BB x SD 2/4 ( 50%), Piffcoast 8/10 (80%), & Old Red 3/4 (75%) (Had 4/4, lost one while removing casing membrane.)
Total-42/56 (75%)
They will also be crossed to Clonestock;
AJ Sour Diesel, Stardawg Guava, Stardawg Corey, GG4 Josey & Midtown Madness (ONYCD x Sour Diesel BX2 [Top Dawg])
I either plan to reduce males reproductive organs by 90-95% of early flowering males but allow the males with best terp expression on the stem rub to be only reduced by 75-85%. Keeping the males throughout the pollination window to continually pollinate.
-or-
Build a second flowering area for male pollen collection then mix pollen by portion/percentage equally and throw over all females. The second seems more difficult for several reasons but could be argued the most fair in terms of creating genetic diversity and reducing the chances of a majority donor.
Either way I’ll induce flower on all females for 12 weeks. All pollinating will be done by week 4 giving all seed a good time to mature. All hermaphroditic expressions will be removed regardless of nature or lineage.

Thank You Gpaw.
Germinated a small bunch of (Midtown Madness x Mexican) and got about 100% germination. Want to test. Will not keep any males or allow them to pollinate at all. Started 13 seeds.

That’s a well thought out plan with a nice sized, diverse population to choose parent stock from. You’ve set yourself up success @SWIM_Yenobi !Best of luck with your hunt!

Thank you Budderton.
Here is an Update of the Sour Diesel Project:
Started a couple more seeds of the Midtown x Mexican to be safe but it wasn’t needed. Culling to (x13) MM x Mexican now. *Edit Update: Discarding MM x Mexican due to intersex trait the females have expressed in high ratio. Also I prefer a 5x5 with x36- 1gallon pots or 6 rows of 6 as well so it will already be a tight fit with 42.
I’ll update the Mexican later as well, out of around 40 seeds I have 4 (still) stable phenos almost at 14 weeks. I threw 2 more plants out for nanners at week 13 so these 4 will hopefully stay stable. I’m estimating 16-20 weeks due to regional flowering season.
Edit Update: Threw away another female due to nanners last night (11.28.23) so I only have 3 phenos still in flower. Unfortunately if they all display intersex I will not use any for breeding. Will attempt to stabilize later with the IX seeds and other means if none remain stable.

Mexican (Day 96) update:
Smells like Rotten Fruit and Skunk Bud in the back.
Gorilla Glue #4 Josey Wales Cut (Day 31) (Spent a long time looking for her.)
After the “Old Seed” Preservation I’m gonna take a break from making seeds until I update facilities. Waiting for them to arrive now.
Only plan to run and dial in 3 strains during that time. SOG style and perpetually: Gorilla Glue #4 Josey Wales, Sour Diesel (Best Cut from current projects), and either Wedding Cake Jbeezy or Sherbanger 22 NorCal.

Moving my Updates back to weekly (Saturday/Sunday). Had a few things going but at this point everything has leveled out. Weekends I manage IPM, Clean Tents, Train/Trim, and Nutes/Nute prep so it’s much more convenient. I only will cover GG4 Flower Test, Mexican Stability Test, and Diesel Project. GG4 and Mexican were recently covered so next week we will begin with that layout.
Sour Diesel Project Update:
Will begin topping and preparing the plants to produce clones by increasing the distance from the plants after topping. Still just Tap Water without nutrients. PH 5.6-5.8.

Anybody stand out yet or is it a bit early for favourites?

Hope you’re doing good, I really like your journal. The Katsu is probably my favorite Lineage wise due to the Stoney Male.

Thanks man, I hope you’re doing well also.
Dude! Your journal is wicked! Shits about to pop off in here.
I’m excited to see this all play out

Mexican Stable #1
Harvested Day 114 of Flower (16 Weeks and 2 Days)
Smells of Rotting-foul fruit and Skunk. This is the less offensive of the 2 still stable expressions (Dropped the 3rd in week 15 due to Nanners).
Diesel Project Update:
Will be taking clones soon. I am estimating around 4-5 weeks until I begin Open Pollination flowering with previously mentioned method of reducing reproductive components or more likely separating and mixing pollen.
