What Male you hit them with
Doc D’s Bandaid Haze IX 3.0.
This male was shorter, lime green, and the smelliest.
Females this round were Bandaid Haze (2 plants), the Hailey cut, Triangle Kush x '88 G13/HP, '88 G13/HP, '79 Christmas Bud, and Mordida (Nierika Acapulco Gold x Nierika Zipolite Oaxacan).
the Mordida x Bandaid will be too tropical for most people to grow. Hailey x Bandaid and Bandaid F2 will be appreciated by most haze enthusiasts; real funeral home/church smell.
[(TK x G13HP) x Bandaid Haze] is a copy of Doc D’s “Black Bobo”. That will probably be the “dankest” of the crosses. Doc D’s TK x G13HP is different than mine however. His looks more Triangle Kush dominant, mine favors the father’s side. Different '88 G13/HP male, too. His is from Bodhi stock, mine is from Farmer Joe. Though, they are very similar. Same mother, father from same inbred line.
'79 Christmas Bud and '88 G13/HP crosses are both pure old-time inbred Afghan lines, which should dramatically shorten stretch and reduce flower time a couple weeks, with an extra side vigor. '88 G13HP smells like skunky hairspray, 79 Christmas Bud smells like lemony hash and spice. These are seriously inbred plants, each plant sorta looks like a copy of the other, and vigor is very low. Not something you’d grow for anything other than breeding material, but I expect neat results from the pairing, especially the Christmas Bud x Bandaid.
I got docs headbanger f2’s
Bshb f2
Chocolate trip f2’s
Joey’s yo momma f2’s
Black Afghani f2’s
And Mutter
That sounds spectacular…especially the tk, and 79 crosses to bandaid haze…good shit bro✌
In 2 weeks my Doc D 91 SKVA x Afkansastan/X18 plants are hitting flower. 2 very large girls.
I have some Floating Buddha (Lemon Thai x Headbanger) in the vault for later.
I’d love to see you grow the Headbanger’s out!
There supposed to be Karma’s cut, I believe.
Probably gonna be fall now it’s gonna get ran with it’s mom SourD ibl from Rez
And Sourstar from hortilab
@santero Very excited for these. Right up my alley.
Also have five Super Silver Haze x '89 Super Skunk going, and four Afghani #1 x Super Silver Haze F3.
From these, I’ll select 5-6 females to flower. As always, I’m looking for something that smells incredible.
4 of the Afghani #1 x Super Silver Haze F3 (Cannarado) by Farm Guy.
8 of the Cheetos (Exodus Cheese x Sour Diesel IBL) by @santero. All 10 came up but 2 were lagging so I culled them. Space is always tight.
Not pictured: 5 Super Silver Haze x 89 Super Skunk.
Hailey Piff. She didn’t take the Bandaid Haze pollen very well, but she is some rowdy dank. I did get a couple dozen seeds to look through, though.
On that front, the seed run was successful. Hailey barely took any pollen, Green Bandaid Haze only made a few hundred seeds, everything else produced quite a few. There are thousands. Christmas Bud x Bandaid Haze beans are plentiful and absolute coconuts, everything else is smaller and lighter.
After this seed run, we’ll start sifting through the Bandaid Haze crosses. I am particularly excited about the Christmas Bud x Bandaid Haze.
Not much to show off, babies are little and flowering plants are only 20 days in, but here’s Mango Haze x Snow Lotus BX1 by @GrowHard. This is the tallest and probably the overall largest plant in the garden, even Bandaid Haze and Hailey are a tad shorter. You can tell this one is gonna be enormous. Only selected female from 11 seeds. A few plants were small, runty, others were male but this one shined early on. This plant smells in veg too, this and the one Chem 91 SKVA x Afkansastan/X18 were the smelliest and most vigorous of 25 plants.
Here we have 4 of the Super Silver Haze x 89 Super Skunk by @Farmerjoe420 (already selected one female, have room for 1 more from the remaining 3). The mother is the “lost phenotype” an old cut that supposedly best represents what SSH is all about. Farmer Joe told me Arjan sampled it and thought it was close to the original. Maybe it’s Shanti’s cut that floats around, maybe something else. An awful lot of SSH beans have been sold and grown in the last 20+ years who knows. The female I selected looks nice, I killed a male, waiting to see about the other 3.
There are also 4 of the Afghani #1 x Super Silver Haze F3 (Cannarado; hazey selection) by a dude on IG called Farm Guy. Sporting big Jurassic leaves from the get-go. I have room for 1 female from these.
And we also have 7 of the Cheetos by @santero. Culled 3/10 runtier seedlings, a week from today I’ll have it down to 5-6. From those 5-6 I’ll select 2-3 females to run. Most plants look surprisingly uniform so far. Makes sense, Cheese is Skunk #1 which is an inbred line crossed to Sour Diesel inbred line. I shouldn’t keep a male since I have so much other stuff going on but I might if I have space.
The story I got about the SSH cut that was used was this cut was originally found by a member of the Chem fam in mass back in the day.
Recently, the person who passed her around to a few of us , met Arjan at a cannabis event. He smoked him out and Arjan was very impressed with it.
He said it reminded him of the early 90’s cup winner and that type of pheno is no longer found in modern SSH offerings.
Fantastic. Thanks for stopping in and providing the details. Already have 2 females selected to the next run. Once again, they’re all nice plants which makes culling before flower a little more difficult. One’s taller and more gracile, other is shorter and stinks fierce already.
Chem 91 SKVA cut x Afkansastan/X18 Pakistani by Doc D at 27 days from flip. Her sister is flowering too, a little taller, seems more chem 91 dominant than this one, but this one was far smellier in veg and had the chunky structure, and I literally ran out of space so this is the one I have a clone backed up of. I can always get a re-veg if the other sister ends up being to die for. This one looks like all bud top to bottom and is directly under the light as the shortest plant in the tent. Hopefully I get a solid yield. 5 z’s would be nice. Smells kind of bubblegummy to be honest.
So far though the Mango Haze x Snow Lotus by @GrowHard is the best looking plant. Smells like citrus windex.
Shit…and…shit…damn that looks nice…and mango haze×snow lotus…. That sounds awesome…nice bro.
Mango Haze x Snow Lotus BX1 by @GrowHard at 32 days.
This plant is crazy. Already needs staking this early. I wouldn’t describe the stems as weak, there’s just a lot of bud on a very tall frame. Still the tallest plant after everything else post stretch.
SKVA Chem 91 x Afkansastan/X18 Pakistani tester at 40 days, the favored shorter expression. No staking needed and definitely the fastest plant of this run. This one will be harvested on or before day 63. Threw a few nanners on buds closest to the bulb. Chem plants are sorta famous for that. It’s a nice plant but I’m leaning towards not keeping it. For a kush-type plant it just doesn’t beat the TK x G13HP.
This is the Chem 91 SKVA x Afkansastan/X18 Pakistani sister. A bit taller as you can see, will need a bit longer to flower, probably 70 days. Also a nice plant, very smelly chem all the way, but also probably not keeping it.
Mango Haze x Snow Lotus BX by @GrowHard at 40 days. This thing is an animal, kinda makes everything else look bad by comparison, and I’m not saying that because we’re friends haha.
Of the veg plants, so far 2 (Super Silver Haze x Super Skunk) and 1 (Cheese x Sour Diesel) (that I’m 95% sure is female) have been saved. There is room for 2 more plants, and I have 3 (Afghani #1 IBL x Super Silver Haze F3) and 1 (Cheese x Sour Diesel IBL) plants waiting on sexing. 25-ish plants to 5. Maybe 1-2 will be kept for another run.
Well some updates, flower tent is chugging along at day 45, I’ll probably harvest the earlier SKVA Chem '91 x Afkansastan/X18 Pakistani here in about 20 days. The rest of the plants will take at least 70 days, some might even go to 77, like Bandaid Haze. As the plants are getting bigger it is harder to take them out to look at. I’ve been running much more nutrient through the hempies, chasing those old yield numbers. Looks like it might pay off.
As far as the veg plants, I believe I have the next round all squared away. We have, so far, two Super Silver Haze x '89 Super Skunk, two Cheetos (Exodus Cheese x Rez’s Sour Diesel IBL), and one (Afghani #1 x Super Silver Haze F3).
The Cheetos are the most gracile, tall and lanky, beautiful plants, though. The other plants are much beefier but I can tell they are going to stretch and probably be good yielders. The Cheetos doesn’t look like yielders but that isn’t everything. They will almost certainly require staking. The two most vigorous plants from a 10 pack can’t wait to see what they do.
I killed the clones of Chem 91 x Afkansastan/X18 and this round’s Bandaid Haze. They are fine plants but not what I’m looking for. I am definitely keeping the Mango Haze x Snow Lotus BX. To be expected, though, one winner female per germination round is appropriate.
In their stead, I have germinated eight [(Triangle Kush x 88 G13HP) x Bandaid Haze IX] to explore the line. Those are going by “Wormwood v2”. “Wormwood v1” is simply ('88 G13HP x Bandaid Haze IX).
When space clears, I am also germinating eight ('79 Christmas Bud x Bandaid Haze IX) and eight Super Silver Cough F2. The plan here is to look for a winner Bandaid Cross to make a BX with, and a winner Super Silver Cough female.
I killed the G13HP mother and the Christmas Bud male. The scope of my projects really needs to narrow, and now it’s looking like all I can handle with the Bandaid Haze.
Would there be a chance to get a few x-bud x bandaid, @vernal ?
Chem 91 SKVA x Afkansastan/X18 Pakistani at 46 days by Doc D. Rank, very chem-esque skunky odor. If you love Chem, this is one for you.
Whole tent. Got everything in there tetris’d just so. Very little extra space, defoliation is done, most big branches have been staked, and plants are starting to feed less. Now it’s basically wait to finish. Now begins the most interesting time, when they actually look like flowers.
This is a new one to me. So I found:
1-Triacontanol is a fatty alcohol of the general formula C30H62O, also known as melissyl alcohol or myricyl alcohol . It is found in plant cuticle waxes and in beeswax. Triacontanol is a growth stimulant for many plants, most notably roses, in which it rapidly increases the number of basal breaks. (wikipedia)
Eh?
