Thatās life isnāt it brother? You know I like learning my lessons the hard way, seems to be the only way I learn 
worst case I gotta buy weed for a bit and do better next year.
Main focus right now is figuring out this career change and how Iām gonna support my family with a laptop instead of my bare hands. But itās time man, my 8 year old daughter gets concerned that Iām injured when she notices Iāve got 5 calluses just on one finger section time to take my life into my own hands and still make it out on top (of the world[genetics]) lol

Does anyone happen to know the most cannabis seed friendly website hosting services?
I had just checked out squarespace and theyāre expensive, force you into a CBD program that you have to pay for, and take a 3% cut of all sales unless you get the level of plan that takes that out. Was like 300$ a year, which is whatever, but I want full assurance Iām not gonna get dicked around for seed sales as theyāre federally legal, as stated by the DEA here;
I know @RIS has entered the game, maybe hit him up and see what he is using

You might want to set up a monthly email like doc. D had. Direct cash sales type thing while you explore the website rabbit hole.

WARNING: These pictures will make you very sad, proceed with caution.
Alright hereās my sad and measly most recent update, bud rot got my entire greenhouse basically, 480 sq ft of 90% garbage. Thatās with multiple treatments, once a week, cutting off infected buds right after everything was sprayed to mitigate spore spread as much as I can. Saddest growing year Iāve had so far, even my ICC #5 was affected, albeit it was the last to get it, but it still did. Literally every single plant out of my alleged 29 is screwed. Really hurts your feelings and the fact that I was forced to be other places than worrying about something that couldāve supported my income, or at the very least made it so I donāt have to buy dispensary weed all year, makes it that much more annoying. It is what it is though, Iām salvaging the few nugs/branches off each plant that I can. With my allergies I canāt smoke anything thatās questionable or my COPD really starts kicking my ass.
Then thereās the indoor grow that got neglected but is slowly turning around. Iām narrowing down where Iām fucking up the more I have time to sit and think about what Iāve been doing while neglecting my grows. I strayed away from Promix HP cause they kept giving me bugs, went straight coco and then started adding things like organic material in myself, grabbed a bag of compost but that made it so that I needed like 6.3 or lower ph to be coming out anywhere near 6.7 which was still too high for my liking. Figuring that out with a bunch of added RAW nutrient line was a task and I honestly have no idea how EXACTLY how much Iām feeding anything right now, which is probably kinda dumb. Either pick amendments or nutrients ya goof, stop overcomplicating things. Then there was the problem of me trying to reuse my soil from my last indoor grow that ended up being my best ever, it was WAY too hot for seedlings as it was last being fed at like 20-50-50 with the RAW salt line. So i wasted a bunch of ICC seeds and crosses before settling on a tiny bit of 3-3-3 down to earth amendment in straight coco for seedlings, Iāve got a few starter nutes for once they take off a bit so Iām not cooking anything anymore. Phing water in my tank constantly before watering, keeping it around 6.3 to attempt mitigate any fluctuation during watering.

Today
Got some Tapi Tapi fems, a Rick James fem, some ICC #5 fems, Tropicana Cherry S1 fems, and Brawndo females oh and two auto Strawberry Cookies I hadnāt labeled as autos that I noticed were flowering probably a week too late and transplanted. Originally I was going to make Brawndo S1 fems but that feels too much like stealing from Afficianado French Connection so Iāll just use the 3 big females I have as a ICC #5 S1 x Brawndo F2 to make a fem cross, gotta think of a name worthy of Brawndo and Idiocracy though. But thatāll leave me with a bunch of ICC #5 S2 Iāll need testers for to make sure breeding into itself isnāt screwing up genetics and causing hermies or something all of a sudden, Iām really not worried about that but maybe like 5%, cause every cross and anything done with ICC so far hasnāt shown any signs of anything negative, just being an absolute champ.
Think once thatās done, I may need to grow some indoor to supply myself but Iām going to focus on doing single runs of everything Iāve made so far so I can document each cultivar individually myself. The more I get into breeding the more I want to stay away from selective breeding, granted it does have its merits and you can get some specific fire out of doing it but I feel that dilutes genetics too much, if someone wants to pheno hunt my stuff feel free but Iām thinking open pollination for anything I do thatās not feminized, just seems to sit right with my morals and how I like going about things.
Anywho, Iām almost setup on a new site to sell seeds, have my own LLC now that Iām working on making legit and seeing what avenues I can take with that, if I can get a loan I might open up my own one stop grow/processing facility as I already have the majority of the equipment and knowledge. Once I get the business end of things figured out and the bills getting paid again I can focus on following my tech dreams and learning the various coding languages, Iād like to make tech for Agriculture and give the entire planet the ability to do regenerative farming instead of the monocrop money grabbing bs we have worldwide

It was just a garbage year to grow and I didnāt do any of my preventative sulfur/copper spraying before flower that I did last year, partly due to not having the time/energy, partly cause it was such a fucked growing season that literally ever plant decided it was going to flower, reveg, and flower again, all at different times. Iāve got 7 ft plants with single blade reveg leaves on them.
It is what it is though, salvage what I can and do better next time, thatās how she goes. I know its VERY slight but you can see the coloration difference over the last few weeks of the indoor grow. More time invested = better grow, apparently (obviously) lol
