Haha I do like to be pretty ruthless with the selection. Sometimes I kill them off when they are young. For example the CSI Virgin Kush never seen life past a few weeks. They were super lame veggers compared to everything else I popped alongside(most of that Bodhi and CCK). No hard feelings against CSI there. Some genetics are just like that. At the time I didnā€™t want a bunch of small runty plants along side bigger ones. I was wanting more uniformity that run and didnā€™t have the veg space to keep em vegging up to a proper size. And while dank weed is the ultimate end goal we are all breeding for I really appreciate vigor and ease of growth so culling out plants like that imo is not such a bad thing even if the flowers would have been fire.

Few of those hermed out on me as well and didnā€™t get to see the finish line. 3/3 Lions Milk, 2/2 Hollyweed, 5/6 Planet Purple all hermed and got cut out. I kill herms on sight, itā€™s just a part of the sifting process the way I see it.

Also lost most of the Thunderfudge to damping off and the 2 that survived were males :laughing: murphys law.

I always get paranoid that Iā€™m killing off the ā€˜best strain everā€™ so I never cull anything. Vigor should really be a huge consideration though.

In regards to the past comments about taking a break from the social media and the internet, itā€™s needed for all of us at times imo even more so now than in past times, as we get caught up and engrossed in our screen consumption whether outside designed for alterior motives or even our own choices like reading threads at 11:45 at night cause you canā€™t sleep, but that consumption can cause us to loose sight of what is actually important to us, whatā€™s needed and what brings us happiness, so taking those breaks are defintely needed for everyoneā€¦

As for this community we get to grow cool plants and share them with like minded people or those who can understand our obsessions while that sharing allows all of us to grow through the understanding of ourselfs, others, and or knowledge that we aquire as time goes onā€¦ So yeah count me in for that .

And isnā€™t it hard sometimes trying to explain culling decisions when really at a base level those plants in question just donā€™t excite or bring as much happiness as what other plants could do and really were just trying to maximize that aspect :wink:, no sense wasting time on something you donā€™t enjoy unless there is a positive reason behind it.

@paintedfire420 you are a super cool person! I know little about the situation you had. And to be honest I appreciate all that you have shared with this community. You may feel the only thing you have to share is beans and pics. The Truth is you have so much more to say and share. I love reading the things you post and the beans you have shared. Know this, I open up and read most all threads that you put up. Iā€™m always checking for you! Ok anyway know that you are appreciated by me. Im looking forward to all that you will share later on in the future :wink:

Oh nice how exciting. That should be a nice cross. Iā€™m hoping for a bleeding, fat, chunky nugged, purple, fully resinous plant haha is that to much to ask from some beans?

I dont know 1/2 of the story here and frankly dont care about the drama but Iā€™m sad to see a guy like you getting treated that way. I see what youā€™re doing on here, the fire youre producing and the genetics youā€™re sharing. IDGAF about what anyone is doing on any other site bc Iā€™m not over there! Keep it up I hope you stick around and get a fairer treatment. This just sealed it, next strain Iā€™m popping is gonna be the GHxC99!

Yeah sometimes itā€™s hard to explain how certain plants just donā€™t speak to me while others whisper sweet sentiments in my ear lol. If anyone understands itā€™s the fellow growmies :slight_smile:

Haha I feel you bro itā€™s always kind of lingering back in my mind ā€œwhat if that was the one?ā€ .

Youā€™re too kind bro youā€™re always overwhelmingly positive in the best way. :pray: I appreciate it.

Thanks newb itā€™s all good. None of that matters as long as I donā€™t get banned. :grin: Till then Iā€™ma keep on keepin on and even then yā€™all know where to find me. :heart:

Happy growing my friends. :pray:

Hey! Just had a chance to catch up on your thread! Took like 3 days lol. Really nice stuff you have going on. Really excited about the G99 and BNK. Even with all the preservation genetics those are the first photos I plan on popping first when I move. I want to do an auto run first just to fill the coffers, but I was thinking about starting them around the time the autos start flowering if I have the room for em.

Hereā€™s a closer look at the 4 shorter OGKB x OMG Bodhi Testers. Day 40 They are starting to develop and look a lot nicer but they are lacking in the terp department so far. Not exactly burnt rubber but strange smells similar to is the only thing I can think of.

Wow, those are the short ones?! Are the others too tall to risk pulling out the tent? Looking great as always!

Yes looking good and should keep packing it on yet as well.

Thanks guys yeah those other 2 tall ones are too risky to pull out. Iā€™ll get em out at the very end for some proper shots before they get :knife: :knife:

The structure on those plants is blowing my mind. Reminds me of a sour Kosher Kush I once grew.

thanks but they got nothing on that bluecoma I just seen in your thread. :wink: :wink: that thing is a beast!

I cheated though. Sheā€™s been going for a year and a half and that is her second flowering. Iā€™m going to try and reveg again after this harvest and then dump her outside in the spring :grin:

Now what that Blue coma doesnā€™t have is Fat, armed sized, rock solid, bubblegum smelling colas. Those traits are reserved for your DHxC99 :grin::grin:

Clipped A bud of GHxC99 early for fun!
