The reason I let the males go, is that with 3 female phenotypes available I’ll be able to reverse the very best one, and cross it back to herself for the S1 and to her 2 sisters for femmed F2s.
Course if she’s really good she will get crossed to 20+ of the best strains available. Check any of the “Cross” threads in the als_weed forum to get an idea of how that works.
The plants have started to eat regularly. We have had a couple early pH adjustments, but are keeping in a stable zone. The lights have been cranked to full power and this diesel train has left the station!
I’ve started pinching these tall girls already. They grew over a foot in their first week.
I’m very happy with the direction of this grow. No runts and pretty even growth across the strains. No transplant shock, they just hit the room running.
As always. Your comments and questions are welcome.
This is exceptional! So glad I found this and stoked you are doing it, I too have some SERIOUS gems that need to be gotten to in the near future, love seeing stuff like this, the real important work being done with the real gems rarely seen anymore. Much respect @als_weed
That PPP and the sister to Airborne G-13 both caught my eye HUGE! Heard so much about PPP, was told it was gone, very nice!!and airborne well…. Speaks for itself absolutely unreal meds! Looking forward to your work my friend, very much so
I read your multiple clones pollination, so I understand what your thinking with that.
My thought is by not making f2 the line is only available in a cross not pure. Different goals
Well if you ever feel up to it, you should F2 any of your old Subcool lines like Dannyboy and Sputnik and similar stuff as they are not common, as no one has them that I’ve ever met so far both here on OG and RIU and many would love to trade/give you multiple strains for those I’m sure.
I have only read about those strains in Subcool’s books, but never smoked or had seeds of Dannyboy or Sputnik but I’ve heard others tell me they both were amazing in their own right.
I have many Subcool strains, but most are a bit later than those, I have JTR, Querkle, 3rd Dimension, Vortex, Jacks Cleaner 2, Jillybean, Agent Orange, Qush, Ripped Bubba, etc.
Awesome to see anyone still hold onto those !
Love your work, and your threads are all very interesting and detailed! @als_weed
Ok, I have to admit, this thread is so cool, I did the speed reading thing and will have to come back to savor it slowly. I’m making dinner right now and I’m starving, lol. I’m so interested in that Choco diesel! Thanks for such an awesome thread! peace
Oh, and with a name like Al, it’s gotta be good! (Gman- Al)

Slide back to the late 90’s as we pheno hunt 3 Bros. Grimm Strains.
Watch as we reverse the latest and greatest, then pollinate 20+ top strains in the “cross” threads.
And if you really want detail about my methods and recipes, check out the pheno hunt “4 Crosses of Slapz” thread and watch a full hunt from seed to bud.
A lot has happened as the plants have continued to eat regularly. I did swap a couple APSDs positions to even the canopy a bit, notated on the cover sheet. Shoot pruning, selective fan removal, and trellis tie ups have started as we wrestle with trying to control this group.
Growing like, well, weed! I’m pinching stems every day, but still think these will hit the light. I’ll put another level of trellis in, and strap them down like grape vines if needed.
Just lovely looking plants. Wide, vibrant green, waxy leaves and vigorous growth show this strains pedigree. By the looks of it, this was somebody’s long term project.
The next week is filled with explosive growth and the first res change. Let’s see if SSDH will try to double up again.
As always, your comments and questions are welcome.
Impressive bud. I have a couple aficionado packs sangria, sorbetto and truffles I was curious if you would be interested in doing a pollen swap? I’m probably going to be running a pack or 2 soon. Thanks and definitely beautiful plants
maphial chocolate diesel were also the ones i made into f2 for derg corra.
those were some really nice plants, and i reckognize them in your grow
verrry nice smoke for sure, mate … enjoy those wonderful greens *njom *
They have been eating steadily and are ready for their first res change. We have a slight tip burn on some, while a couple are showing signs of hunger. This is the result of our compromise nutes for all these different plants.
