TestOfOath's Happy Place

The Candyland are lookin’ healthy and happy :smiley: Can’t wait to see what they do for you!

I didn’t know you grew out the Strawberry Akeil. How did/do you like it? Is the strawberry aroma (and taste?) as prominent as the name suggests? I like Serious Seeds, and raised my hand to be tester for the Strawberry Akeil, but they chose someone who was new to OG, had no grow diary, and never posted updates as he promised. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I actually got it from a buddy who’d bought seeds online (I think) and had to dump his whole grow so I took it and that was one of the ones I wanted to grow out. The seed branches I cut off are still drying so I can’t speak for the taste but I don’t notice anything overly strawberry about it personally. Dense big ass nugs though, the crosses should be amazing.

And I’m excited about the Cookieland too, couldn’t help myself lol I didn’t even have the room for em but I’ve been making it cause I really want to try it

@Hemp That’s Supafreak from Humboldt seeds that @corey reproduced and traded me :grin: the plant behind it that’s stretchy is Supafreak as well expressing different genes that aren’t quite as freaky lol, it was too overgrown with the landraces and started to stretch so it just got topped to level it back out

I’ll have to look when I get home but I think I could trade 5 if you wanted

That supafreak that you are referring to looks a lot like plant 5 I think it is in that grow log I did on them in the seed run category. Beautiful female. It was bushy like yours. Very nice work!

I got some stuff I can trade. I believe I’ve seen some of your stuff in the past I don’t have a lot but you may like something I have will be happy to trade. With that shop of yours looks like you could use some tools. Lol @corey that is a very nice looking plant. That is something I’ve been looking for. Did you create that yourself? The lower left bottom plant. I have seen it before but only a few times it may have been from you that I’ve seen it

Hey hemp. No I just bred out another generation. You should read up on that seed run. It’s pretty interesting. I posted every week. I’ll say one thing the females that made the seeds were very nice especially plant 5… all the male plants looked awesome. I think we all got lucky with plant #5. I wish I had some seeds to give you, but they have been long gone… lol. I live on a farm. Plenty of tools. Thanks

I’ve dried my pollen right on my glass tray. First batch I sent I sent with rice but not dried enough and it molded. This batch I dried with like 50 dessicant packs in a sealed container, on my glass tray. Hygrometers showed rh inside to be around 30%. after about a week, its noticeably more powdery, as in dry… You’ll see a difference. Then I’ve placed it in vials that molded, and 2nd time was in 1.5" x 2" ziplocs, and they haven’t molded. In the baggies, dry pollen will flow almost like a liquid, and pollen that still needs to dry will bunch up.

Lots of experimentation to get here, lots of failures too… But so far this is working for me…

As do I! I was bleaching everything after pollen but was told plan water spread on everything will kill it.

Appreciate the insight deeply, I’m a little worried I won’t be able to pull it off this round cause I have too much going on and can’t set it right next to the dehumidifier or anything. Time will tell though I’m working on it, patience is a virtue and all that

It keeps humidity at 17% I have never seen it turn dark but, I plug it in every so often or it got to 23%
