Tony Greens Tortured Beans

We are going to start to add Koozies to FOREIGN ORDERS.

But ya, the shot glass will not fit in the box with a shirt. and the weight might make them want to open it.

But you do get a GLG tee with every order :wink:.

Iā€™ll give you my perspective. youā€™re a brand new account that, by your own account, you made just to report intersex and you made that intersex your profile pic. I ainā€™t buying that excuse you gave even if itā€™s on sale with a cash rebate. you didnt change it until I said something.
honestly though sourpower I have no ill will or hold malice for you. I donā€™t even know you. Iā€™m just voicing my opinion. I can only judge you by what you do on overgrow because I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen you on other forums.

@antheis Exactly bro. Weā€™re just walls of text on the screen, its hard to differentiate meaning and intentions. But I again assure you no white knighting is needed here. And I am having a respectful and cordial conversation with everyone in the thread and I think weā€™re all learning and absorbing some information that we can all benefit from thru these discussions.
Were all human, and this is a forum; a place for discussion whether that topic is taboo or too controversial for some people I canā€™t say.
What I can say is that weā€™re all being pretty damn respectful here and acting like adults who are all interested in cannabis. So I have a hard time understanding where the paranoia and hostility are coming from other than your own ideaā€¦

With that said I want it to be clear; the only thing Iā€™m looking for is guidance and answers for this. Hence my positive attitude albeit dissatisfied/sad but Iā€™m not here to dwell on it or cause a scene. or rustle any feathers whatsoever.

So here is what Iā€™d like to do, I want this to work out, Ive invested resources, time and emotions into this. I came here to post the issues, discuss my problem, and learn what went wrong

I will drop 2 more seeds and this time I am going to document the whole thing. If anyone with more experience on this line can better guide me to not get hermies, Id sure appreciate it. I feel as I did a good job having a low stress environment and grow. So I feel lost and a little discouraged

If anyone has another opinion or a better way. Well I welcome any ideas or constructive critique that will help me improve my skills and help my find a keeper. I just canā€™t sit back and watch everyone getting these killer looking plants and not get an itch to try another go. Especially when @rooted is posting that beautiful PTG

@Tonygreen So I guess when I was asked if theres anything that can be done to alleviate this issueā€¦ I donā€™t know if this is an odd request but can we help to teach me and have a little more understanding about your genetics or what to look out for. Its the reason I posted here; for some clarity and maybe some advice??
Anything at all really that will help recover a bit of my confidence? I want to give this another go, and I donā€™t understand what went wrong other than I have bad luck statistically?

Checked the Bubblehead I had left this morning and noticed some odd calyx behavior. on the main stem below the top.

Yo you should be looking at the bright side. Since you got the bad luck out the way the chances of the rest bein good is higher.

Idk where you are or why you just wanna do 2 but why fuck around with 2. Iā€™d rather flower em all in quart pots and take cuts b4 if itā€™s space restriction. I sex test in quart pots in a tray holder that holds 8 possible pots.
Or you could do 1 or 2 gallon. Then youā€™re not wasting time just cull any balls and move on. Then you can get the best of the group in 1 go. Just thinkin out loud.

OK I like the idea, I do have some space limitations but Iā€™ll figure out something to make room. Iā€™ll throw down 6 seeds if I can manage.

Now with these genetics, is it better to veg a few weeks and then flip or can I 12/12 from seed to sex without stressing em out?
Sorry if its an obvious question; I am trying to take out all the variables here, I know its not light leaks or heat stress; my VPD is in range, DLI is good.

Do you think I should cull this last bubblehead in the pics above? Those calyx are something of an oddity.

12/12 from seed is always gonna stress the plant unless its an equatorial sativa or something

I donā€™t want to butt in here, I just wanted to answer your question. Why mess with only 2?

Idk where the op lives but, in Illinois your only allowed 5 plants over 5 inches, with or without a medical card.

Anything more than 5 and all the old weed laws apply and are felonies. I live in a very corrupt county where the states attorney is married to the chief of police. They can make up any lie they want and your screwed.

So I pop 2 of these and 2 of those and then usually 1 seed of 2 different strain of fems. Planning on at least one male. Has nothing to do with time or space but a random number from a politician.

Hey there everyone. Iā€™ve been watching all this biting my tongue. I did more than 2.

OK, here we go. After popping 27 TG seeds, three different strains, I have dried, trimmed cured, smoked, and tested many at the lab and I did not find a keeper plant. I found a lot of late flower herms that could not be detected until after the nugs came off the drying tray.

Sorry to say, but thats what it was for me. Most of you saw my progress and the plants looked great, yielded well and were healthy all the way through as the photos indicate. The SG was not stable for me (8 out of 12) and the BubHead was 3 out of seven herm.

Bummer. Should have started with the RIL but it was not out yet. In the same run I found a keeper Zelda Runtz that tested 29.45% peak thc and is a stonker, so I have a few mothers still moving forward. I put two sherbiker bubbles out into the community- they were needed by friends and seemed solid.

Consider this a contribution to the idea of participatory varietal selection (PVS) practices in plant breeding and not a black strike against Tonys efforts as a whole. I WILL explore more of my TG packs in the future.

Many of you report success and to that I say Cheers!

Do you mind sharing the labs? Interested in what terps were shown if you have it anyway, I know some tests donā€™t cover those. I donā€™t think anyone should be biting their tongue. Weā€™re growing weed. The only times I spoke up is when somebody questioned my integrity. I think people should be able to report results without all that nasty insult shit.

I didnā€™t intend to be a put down asking about why 2 seeds, just one of many possible options for the guy to be more efficient in any bean hunt. Not just mine.
You win some you lose some in this game I reckon. Thatā€™s what we do sort through the culls looking for the magic. Itā€™ll never stop until weā€™re dead ha!

Popped a few of the GG4 RIL that came from the goodness of Tonygreen after the shitty situation that happened here.

One ended up with a shorter, bushier / more even canopy plant with these totally unique leaves compared to the other few.

Apparently I am not able to upload the pictures because they are too large of files. Havenā€™t had this issue in the past.

Hey bud- I am cheap, so I get the 40 dollar potency test with cannabinoids only. Here is a Bub Head for example.

Not my beans but. Why the run down? I just trying to understand what are you getting at. Is how strong it is or that you had some fruit. I have seen his stuff grow. I gave some of his seeds away. I will be getting more. I thought it was a great Christmas gift.

That thcv again. Did all the bubbleheads have it? What was the highest % if so?
The Pine Tar Gush has it too. Seems like a pattern that people in general like the stuff with thcv. Maybe thatā€™s why so many liked her too. Interesting stuff so thanks for sharing!

Here is a good thread.

Covers it better than I can. Every strain I breed with is in there.

If I didnā€™t do my due diligence in selecting theyā€™d be really fucked up lol.

Wouldnā€™t suggest something I donā€™t have luck with.
Casey Jones stress tests, lost 4 out of 11 so far.
I wasnā€™t trying to be a smart ass lol.

Some of these quarts will produce close to an ounce. Shout out to the old micro cab squad!

Flowered, culled, cut back, revegged. Hey I do what I can ha!

I guess I only tested two plants, but the two Sherbikerbubbles I put out to my friends were stronger than this one- Still had a combined .7 CBG. Donā€™t get me wrong folks, The 10 or so clean plants out of this run yielded several nice BH and SBB, straight-on OG style plants that I put out there to keep them going. I did the same thing with a few of the sour grapefruit. My standards are probably too high, and Iā€™m looking for a long term relationship with anything I keep so it has to be perfect! The plants I held back also yielded pretty well in an ice hash run and it pressed very nice. Just did a lovely SG dab to start the day.MIGreenman - Biker Bubble #3.pdf (491.9 KB)

Smoke report on RIL Sowah after a 3 day dry out. I have to say I was very surprised with how well this turned out even though I grew only a small plant. It has a very nice uncured burn and flavor is in no way grassy or the smell. It seems this is a winner of a plant. I got no male flowers on any of the plants I grew out. Very hard hitting buzz well worth the time and money. The plant needs alot of vegging to get a good haul
off her. I still have one vegging now unsure the sex but I will grow this again if itā€™s not female and also try some other of the Karma collabs. Nice work all involved.


Doesnā€™t look like much but packs a serious punch. Needs more vegg time for sure.
