Some of the freshly dry trimmed Tsi Fly. This strain was super frosty, dense and terpy.

Hi @Sebring, I was looking at the Mosca offerings and the Tsi Fly seeds. In your opinion, would you give the thumbs up buying Tsi Fly (a bit pricey) vs, perhaps, other Mosca offerings? Thanks.

I’ve only grown their tsi fly so I’m not sure. I do know that the C4 and Cindy99 that Mosca used were 
parents. I’d feel safe growing any stuff with shared parentage, like Sonic fly.
I’m debating using tsi fly as a potential breeding parent. It’s flavor isn’t intense, but it would make an amazing blank slate parent to apply terpy partners to.

I figured out that I have room to start my seed run of Patch Adams (auto CBD regs) so, I planted 6 seeds in the 2’x4’ tent. The plan is to seed the females, save about 50 seeds and give the rest away. If any plants don’t grow as autos their seeds will be destroyed (ground up and used for cooking).
I’ll add photos once they break the surface.

Oh, now I’m interested. I got 14 of these babies waiting to go for a swim…

Speaking of Reiko-X, as Scotty Real pronounces it 
, I heard the DudeGrows podcast talking about you! I was a little jealous hearing their crew claiming you. I kept thinking “@ReikoX is an Overgrower, not a Realgrower!”, but I know there’s enough of you for all of us. 
Considering how many packs of Patch Adams that they gave out, I’m sure there will be a thorough vetting of them. My bigger plan is to grow out and seed these 6, then another 6, etc., until I’ve run the 20 seeds I bought. Then I’ll be taking about 50 from those runs and run those F2s to seed.
Some of the extra F2 seeds will get used in urban gorilla grows, and all the rest will be given to OGers.

I have a pack of these in the fridge. Bought them on a whim. Not really into sats. But the terp description sounds amazing. Making me reconsider cracking them sooner rather than later.

Haha, maybe that’s the next meme I submit… I dig the DGC show, I listen to them every morning. I had to support them a bit.

If their growth structure was tighter I think I’d grow a lot more of it. It is pretty stretchy with about 3x stretch in flower. (Top it aggressively!!!)

Thank you for sharing that information. 3x 
I end up vegging to large so I can see trouble if I run them. But I will at some point and I’ll top them like a savage.

Lol, me too, keeps me sane at work. I’ve given them donations; they’ve more than earned it!

Of the 6 Patch Adams seeds I planted, 2 never sprouted 
, 1 sprouted then fizzled 
, and 3 are healthy 
. I’ve planted 3 more in rooter plugs and we’ll see if they pop. The only times I usually get this kind of germination rate is when the beans were underdone. 
Update: The 3 new beans all germinated and are showing tap roots, so they were planted with the other three in the soil and watered.

And we’re off!

And another one petered out. I’ve never once felt the need to contact SeedHereNow for replacement seeds, but damn these beans just don’t have the energy stores to get themselves going. That might be why James Bean picked them up so cheap. Get what you pay for right? SMH

SO, SHN is sending me two more packs of Patch Adams seeds, which should fix the 50% seed failure rate issue. I also checked today and the last seed I planted is about to push through the soil surface, but it’s not quite there yet, so I covered it back up and apply #LITFA.
Something nibbled on this one’s leaf, but I have a lot of living macrobiology in the soil, so whatever did it has already been predated. I’ll keep an eye out for possible pest problems.

I love my network of friends! Tad Hussey, of KIS organics, saw that I was growing auto flower plants and he told me Jeff Lowenfels was looking for auto flower lifecycle photos. For anyone that hasn’t heard of him, he wrote the “Teaming with Microbes\Fungus\Nutrients” books. I hooked up with him through emails, figured out my photos are just barely high enough resolution, and now I’m sending him photos once a week; the same photos I’ll be posting on OG!
There is never a guarantee they’ll get used, but I’m hoping they go in his next book.
@ReikoX, if your photos are 2.5 megabytes in size, or larger, and cover the full life of the plant, which I’m sure they do, Jeff would probably be interested in using them too. Pm me for his email if you are interested.

How awesome is that?!?! Congrats for the opportunity!

I try to avoid arguments, as they are neither enjoyable nor productive, but I’m finding some of the discussion on the ‘bodhi seed run is bad’ thread to be interesting. According to the thread our reputations are suffering, but we’re really productive. I’m okay with both of those.
What I’m really looking forward to seeing is if my reputation stays the same or changes when I organize another seed run for discontinued\rare strains that weren’t bred by Bodhi. I assure you one is coming.
I’ve been trying to think up a topic title for crowd sourcing non-bodhi rare seeds from the community. I’m in the philosophical head space though, not the creative space. I’m open to suggestions!
I won’t be organizing a second seed run until I have the current one complete, or at least my part of it anyways, because I know how much work harvesting, sifting and packaging seeds can be.
I’m leaning heavily towards doing a seed run of authentic Maui Wowie for my next go, unless something more desired and rare becomes available. I’m open to suggestions on this too.

Not suffering from my viewpoint. I have a rebuttal prepared if it comes to that but I’m avoiding the addition of fuel into that fire…
