Hey Gang
I just hoped online as the Jack the Ripper sparked my interest…I’m a big fan!
I realize I am late to the party sorta speak but figured I’d speak up to see if anyone on this thread is still in trading…I’m interested in anything Subcool…I meant to produce some more Jack the Ripper S1 and f2’s for myself, but sure enough my few beans were male…serves me right for saving it till the end.
I have beans from two JTR crosses I made with a couple mom’s I was holding on to…Ripper’s Widow (JTR (Subcool) x White Widow (Sensi/White Label), Ripper’s Gold (JTR x White Gold (White Label)…I’ve also got a bunch of Autos and Photo’s to swap if anyone has interest…The Fastbuds Tangiematic I have is very good too for Auto fans.
I’ve got broad interests…I’m trying to skew more towards strains I had when I was was young and landrace stuff but let me know…
Cheers
Hey @MrToast. Welcome to OG. I’m not positive, but I think the JTR is gone. I snatched the Vortex and Space Queen. I’m gonna do a preservation run on the Space Queen, so there should be seeds available in 3 months or so.
Absolutely we can swap, but there’s another way to get seeds here on OG. There’s a sub-forum of the Breeders Lab called Seed Run Co-Ops. Seed Runs Co-op - Overgrow.com
The idea is to take rare, discontinued, or landrace strains, and preserve them by making and distributing seeds on OG. A lot of people will do seeds runs on strain they’ve created too.
Here’s the whole story:
Read through it and start getting your member level up, and by the time those SQ seeds are ready, you’ll be on the signup list.
That’s great news, @Guitarzan! Best of luck germing those old beans, and best wishes for a proper mom and dad. I’ll likely be popping my Candy Mix in the next run or two. Fingers crossed.
Hey someone on here made me aware of https://www.instagram.com/mzjillgrower/?hl=en. She was somehow associated with Subcool and still has some of his strains I guess. Figured I’d pass it along.
At one time, they were married!!! She, according to others, was instrumental in many of Subcool’s strains. She’s on strainly.io, by the way. SS/BW…mister
I didn’t realize there was anything crooked about her. I only recently even learned of her and more recently that she was an ex. Thanks for the heads up. I won’t support scummy shit, I just didn’t realize it was the case here.
@kushdaddy - fair enough, but who are we to evaluate their relationship? just onlookers. the flipside of said point is that she was nobody before or without him? She has her 3 strains, sure.
that’s f*ckin disgusting IMO. really hope karma brings down the hammer on them & then some.
@Guitarzan re: previous discussion; pedal to the metal
You know man, I was just thinking I needed to touch base with you on this. Well Yee-Haw then.
I don’t have a lot of Sub’s stuff, but I’ve got 5 Space Queen 2006 seeds. I’ve also got 10, Vortex 2006, and 5 from 2018. I have a few other strains, but none of his signature stuff.
I sent out my last subcool stuff to some people to try and pop right when I joined here. I had 5 jtr and 5 of the 3rd dimension. Would love to get vortex or void again. Chenobyl is an all time favorite of mine. Every subcool bean I sprouted was top notch…
I bought 6 of his strains including Vortex, and all of them were excellent plants.The Vortex I grew was some of the best weed I’ve ever grown, or smoked.
‘Badger’(IG: BadgersBatch–I think) was helping sub for some years before the '17 fire and Mendo Dope & probably Frenchy & who knows who else have beans & cuts. IIRC, Sub stated that Badger had the whole library preserved, all the males cloned. I never pursued it but he struck me as a very under-spoken & humble guy. Quite a contrast to Old Man Sub.
I’m baked ( amazing, that…) & have no TGA gear. Can’t remember how to start a new preservation thread but I nominate “Subcool TGA OG Memorial Library” but perhaps he would find that too somber or morose; “Subcool TGA Preservation Project” might be more accurate & less death-y. All us old f*ckers find deathiness more distasteful every passing year. And the herb is about regeneration of life. Earth’s mother energy.
I have 4 of his Pennywise seeds that I plan on making more with. Had already planned on offering them up for a preservation run eventually but I most likely won’t get around to it this season.
It’s a high CBD strain with a 1:1 ratio of about 12%. Not blow your hair back shit but the most medically effective strain I’ve witnessed to date. I made salve out of it that’s damn near miraculous.
Yes, @anon93244739 was trusting enough to let me take a shot with his JTR beans. I popped all 5 and got nothing from them for over a week using the moist paper towel method. I had pretty much given up on them, but changed the paper towel every other day or so just to ensure there was no souring going on. Finally, after about 9 days, one did open up and sent out a taproot. I quickly placed it in a jiffy pellet, where it died soon after breaking through the soil. I feel like such a loser, but honestly, I have tremendous success with my methods, so I’m not sure what happened.
