Thank you Leet, it’s just the highs and lows. I very much appreciate that none the less. Same for you buddy.

I will begin flowering the sour diesel project soon. Not going to take clones of every plant due to plant count. I’m going to save snips of each in the fridge right before flower I’m comfortable rooting those in the 4-6 week range. Also have reveg as backup or flowering clones plus reveg.
I’m Revegging x2 nice smelling keepers from a random freebie pack from Wicked Sowa, I’m just calling it Sour Apple Zkittles.
Sour Apple Zkittlez A
Litterally smells like sour apple candies. Like and apple warhead. Also incredibly fast. This germination photo was taken 10/16/23. They were 12/12 from seed. 10.28 no stigma growth so I’d say around week 6 of actual flower time in these photos. I am also a fan of the unique structure and bract development.
The A is my favorite in every way except one. The terps are much more prominent on the B:
I knew I was going to find something good because I didn’t take clones from any of them before flowering… tends to work out like that sometimes.
Clone Stock (Keepers):
Sour Apple Zkittles, Gorilla Glue 4 Josey, Midtown Madness B (After putting it against the AJ I’m keeping it for my diesel baseline still.)
Across all of these Sour Diesel seeds every one has a decent degree of variation in structure if you look. I just defoliated again mostly to slow down the rate they drink water. I can only water twice a day and only want to once. Lots of mutations; Self-topping, trifoliate, polyploid, and variegation.

Hey bro @SWIM_Yenobi

My caregivers license expires in a couple days and I’m not able to renew. All the plants were moved and flower tent harvested. All I have at my house is my GG4J mom and Mexican B.
Going to stretch the plants and tie them together in bundles of four as I make them stretch hard. Then I’ll bury the gap and make them 11 plants (10:4 1:2 or something like that). I’ll photograph the whole process. Another thought is to trim the root masses to get the stems as close as possible or crossing as long as I can have a meeting point and then bury high enough for the stem/root mass to bind “one plant”. I’ve never done (except root trimming) either with cannabis but It shouldn’t be too difficult.
Then move them back. Need to move to a state with better cannabis laws soon. Just going to preserve packs 12 at a time and grow meds with the other 12, after this diesel project. Document them here and share them until I can move.

Sorry that you are unable to renew bro.
Have you considered grafting to a main mother plant? Not sure if this would be practical for your application but just throwing it out there. I hope you can get everything figured out and situated bro.
Also congratulations on the job!

Thank you Seed2Weed, it’s okay. All a new page.
I don’t want to actually cut anything but what I’m doing is kind of like grafting. Roots naturally “graft/bond”. I don’t know why cannabis would be different but plant of same species tend to. A bond at the rootzone still would cause genetic exchange because the tissue reaponsible is in roots and stem. The plants will be bonded so they will be as a “singular plant”.
I’m not worried about root space. I’ve grown pretty big plants in red solo cups and I’ll use 5 gallon pots. I use salts and a mostly peat based media. I recycle my soil, it has a good system. It grows fruiting mushrooms regularly. I just Solarize and then recompost. All in old journals. Don’t have energy to type it out currently.
What I’m trying to do is more a controlled inosculation if I was to call it anything. I’ll use a bonding tape. Keep it very light, bonding only the epidermis as much as possible. Maybe throw caution to the wind and scrape and bond. Genetic exchange, they’re all already being mixed.
There’s a bunch of unknowns. I don’t know if Inosculation works with cannabis or the effects. It should work for my purposes either way.
Happy New Year Everyone!

Chopped Mexican 2/B. Will photo both stable expressions dried colas. Diesel plants returning this weekend I’ll log the process for anyone intrested.
GG4 Josey is beautiful. Best Clone Only I’ve ran personally. A true keeper, and keep her I plan. Terps, trichome production, effect all there for me. Going to grow her for a long while, learning how to bring these chocolate terps out and keep the gas. I have some recipes to test. Someone else is holding my midtown madness B as well but I wouldn’t put against Josey. Best joints of the entire run.
I still want to share my preservations here. I’ll be mostly doing OPIX/OPF2 (Open Pollination I’m-Cross) to all packs listed as so in my projects I posted. Trapstar next or Modified Banana F2. Stay in the plant count (24), one pack at a time. For now.

Thank you, Leet. It’s alright for now. I don’t understand the system.
I will now begin my “Controlled/forced Inosculation test”.I’ll just use Bonding, it’s simpler. I’ll see if the roots self-bond and see if the stems as well. I’m going to just Reveg if anything amazing appears.
42 Sour Diesel from seed lines, 2 clones (AJ and Midtown Madness B). I’ll bind 4 at a time. Here are the groups;
(Top Dawg- T, Karma- K, Piffcoast- P, Old School- O, Bruce Banner x Sour Diesel- BS, Katsu- Ku, AJ, Midtown- MB)
*All Plants are grouped for similarities in their structure unless noted otherwise.
- K1/K3/K10/K12
- P2/P3/P4/P6
- T1/T10/T11/T7
- Ku3/T3/K4/P5
- Ku2/P1/K13/T8
- Ku1/T12/K7/P8
- T6/T9/K9/K11
- O1/K6/P7/T2
- O3/BS1/K14/T4
- K2/K8/K5/T5
- MMB/AJ/O2/BS2
- GG4J (Separated Mother)
Using a small amount of electrical tape (stretched) before burying and it gives them a much more singular appearance. This is the base of my bond and I will move it up from here.

Sour Diesel Project Flowering Day 1:
Going to give them their first full strength watering of nutrients tomorrow and add more mycos. I will flower for 10-12 weeks for seed maturity. I pray this grow goes well. Pulled GG4 mom (Front Left) to Veg. Keepers will be pulled and Revegged. Seeds do finish while being Revegged.

My “Old Seeds” arrived. They were seized twice (First time and Reship) and I had given up hope. These surprised me by showing up today. More later after I speak with Breeder.
Packaging Seeds, I’ll be switching to straws.

Sour Diesel Project:
Besides listed below males I’m pretty sure there will be no more with the exception of maybe Katsu #2 being male and x1 Top Dawg being Hermie (Checking again tomorrow and will pull if I’m over 50% convinced it is hermaphroditic).
All the males are reaching maturity much quicker than the females so I’m not worried about a majority donor. By the time stigma growth begins to accelerate, the males will all likely be pollinating. The grouping should help to increase the chances of them mixing the way I grouped them.
Males (Grouped when sharing a pot):
K7/T12
P1/K13
T11/T10
K3
K14/T4
T5
T9
P5
I have seeds coming in from trades and orders. I’m going to wait until everything comes in then I’ll do a single complete vault update. I’m trying to finish packaging up the Mexican seeds tonight so I can start getting them out Monday.

Did a thorough herm inspection. None have expressed intersex issues as of yet. Fingers crossed.
(Sour Diesel Project: Flowering Day 17)
(Using Box Fan while I clean Oscillating Fans)
My wind levels are very low leveled currently to allow increased crossing between shared pots. I also want to pollinate a few branches I will mark with tape from collected open pods to specific plants. Then I will increase wind enough for pollen to hit everything. I will be collecting and storing pollen from all males.
(Pollen Pictured Top Dawg Sour Diesel BX4 02.04)
Variegated Expression-
Top Dawg BX4 #10 (Bottom) & AJ (Top).
Sour Diesel Notes:
Flowering Progress- My Sigma growth is much slower than I expect. The 1000 watt HPS is helping now. Pollen was dropping today (02.02) hopefully the stigma will begin accepting pollen soon.
Stem Rubs- Best Female Is a Karma Sowahh (More Fuel/Acrid) & Best Male Top Dawg Sour Diesel BX4 (Sour/Citrus Fuel)
Vigor- A Top Dawg Male (Pictured Below)
I’ll have update on SeedVault soon. Waiting for a couple things don’t want to jynx myself.

Had to go and remake my packaging for my seeds to make sure I stay within the mailing guidelines while using 1-2 stamps. Also had to prevent against crushing. This is what I came up with thanks to a couple how to guides. I’ll send out a few a day till it’s all done.

Thank you bud. It’s a bit more than I thought. If I was willing to pay the 11$ for priority it wouldn’t be so bad but that adds up quick.
I’m collecting pollen from all the males. I have 4 Projects that require the males and females of this runs diesel genetics.
I need to figure out how to work these Sour Diesel based projects quickly and cleanly so I can move on to other things I have planned.
I will collect multiple envelopes of each male. Pollen and pollen sacs.

Stone Farms Sour Diesel IBL arrived. I’ll be crossing all current Sour Diesel genetics to these. Especially intrested in testing the Katsu/Stoney Collab x Stonefarms. Almost like a Stonefarms BC.
The clear vial is Sour Bubble from BOG. One of his last releases. I’ll be using these in my Sour Dubb project. I still plan to get Tony Green stock when I have the funds.
The Exotic pack is a freebie.
I have seeds coming from Gravedigger Seeds more info later:
-Wicked Barbie
-Snowdog (Recieved Cut from Chem and worked into seedform.)
-Blueberry F2 (Old Stock/Cut recieved from DJ Short.
Weaving Genetics:
-Fire Breathing Alien
There are only 2 more things on my buy list then I’m going to force myself to start working through projects. If I keep adding I’ll never get to them.
This is my new Updated Search List:
Longbottom Leaf (Lorans, MotaRebel or BadDawg F2s)
Beyond Top Shelf- Sugar Cube
Dankonomics- Ultimate Banana Kush
Useful- Panama Red WorK
Chocolate Tasting Strains
I have lost a lot of interest in Snowhighs work due to bad reviews. Useful seems the best reviewed Breeder when it comes to the Panama Red. His Red Death work sounds very interesting.
I’m going to attempt to quit spending money on beans and go back to spending it in grow/curing gear. I can do it old school but I miss automation and hydroponics.
2024 Project Board:
- Current Sour Diesel Open:
- My majority donors would be Karma/Top Dawg. I separated the Piffcoast x4 pot till the male opened to ensure I had a few F2s. Almost no wind and taped males after pulling each plant out. All in an attempt to try and keep from having a majority donor. Will Reveg every plant (female) and try to save pollen. I’ll preserve entire pollen sacs as shown and store in fridge.
Finish Time: 7-9 Weeks
Reveg Time: 6-8 Weeks ( Will be attempting to take clones of currently flowering plants to forgo this step on 02.10)
- Stonefarm Sour Diesel Mix:
- All current females x Stonefarm Males (Open)
- Top Dawg, Karma, Piffcoast male x Stonefarm Females (Controlled)
Finish Time: 12 Weeks Min. (Will germinate when my current run appears about 5 weeks from harvest)
- Sour Dubb Remix Part 1
- All Current Female Sour Diesel Genetics, All Stonefarm Females x BOG Sour Bubble Opened pack, Tony Green Stock (Open but will be doing trials of equal mixing practice like mentioned w/#4. Will also think about a male tent set for collection.)
- Top Dawg, Karma, Piffcoast, Stonefarm x Sour Bubble Opened Pack, Tony Green Stock (Controlled)
Finish Time: 10-12 Weeks
- Old/90’s Black Widow Preservation.
(From the 90’s from what I understand.)
- Open Pollination of as many of the 100 seeds I received at a time. Will be setting up this project at another location. This will be ran with a keeper/stud hunt always in mind so it will be very slow paced.
*I received these from Shantibaba/Mr.Nice. The sibling stock of the cup winning “White Widow”.
Time: Open
- Modified Banana F2
- Open Pollination preservation. Will attempt a more controlled pollination. Maybe clones, SOG style mixed w/bonding (Groupings of small plants to ensure equal mixing), and isolation with bags.
Finish time: 20 Weeks estimated Minimum (All plant will be grown to presex and cloned prior to any flowering.)
Probably all I can fit in. Maybe not even be able to finish #5 before 25’ start.
