What I’m calling all the crosses. Just wanted to keep things simple and plain.

“Why Fields Corner Kush”? Because Strawberry X18 is already taken by OG Raskal (Strawberry Cough x X18). X18 IMO qualifies as a true Kush, since it’s a 100% indica landrace heirloom from that region. And Fields Corner is a neighborhood of Boston, so a play off of the Strawberry Fields mom in the cross.

X-Wing is a type of Starfighter ship. Clever me right… :joy:

Stardawg XVIII …the Roman numerals is just a play off the IX in Stardawg IX.

White X18…I was gonna call this cross Whitey Bulger. Anybody familiar with the notorious Boston gangster? I still might dig and find a nice cut and call it that :blush:

Put all twelve in on the second. Last night two of the lemons were starting to stand up, but nothing from the Roxbury. Three of my summer chucks popped a couple days ago, so I’m getting anxious for these to perform.

The seed stock is good. Nice, plump, dark, striped seeds. Could be having a hard time cracking shells? Anyway, if they don’t germ well for you let me know. I’ll get some more sent up if needed.

I’ll probably germ test some of those tonight. Means I’ll need to find someone local to give away the seedlings to lol

They’re beauties for sure. All seeds look appealingly mysterious and interesting to me.

Just dug them up and scuffed the shell casings pretty well along the seams and near the tip that goes in first. Delicate process. I swear they were completely dry beneath the seed membrane/casing. Definitely tough lil seeds. Couple more days and they’ll be standing tall.

Good-Luck :pray: :seedling:
What temperature are you germinating at?

Edit: Here’s mine at day 8.

All mine poped up,but one was premature and stunted so I reburied it. Anyways they seem to be vigorous for sure as they have been planted in soil for 3 days after sprouting in paper towel.

Hell yeah boys! Success! Not sure what is going on with mine?

Thanks for the wishes @Scissor-Hanz they’re sitting pretty consistent the last several days. At least since the 2nd. Seem pretty normal, at least as normal as the last couple times I popped some seeds. Going to be patient and see if the scuffing doesn’t help???

Hope you guys are enjoying your testers! I posted up a full strain list on IG and have had a bunch of people request packs this week, so we should see some additional grows of other crosses out there as well.

A lot of people have asked me about the pure, uncrossed X18 reproduction. I’m going to do a full seed count across all phenos this weekend, but for the most part, I’ll be keeping most of the uncrossed stuff in house. The plan has been to work this line further, as I want to modernize the line and focus on the apple terps in my line breeding. I think with a few proper selections in a few generations, I’ll be able to achieve that goal. So the few hundred seeds of X18 I have will be used msotly for pheno hunting (males and females).

That being said, I have given out a couple of packs IN PERSON to local MA guys that I trust and have worked with on stuff in the past, to do their own hunting. What comes out of that who knows, but I don’t put any kind of restrictions on gear, so if those guys wanna work an X18 line for public release, more power to them! The more people working this stuff, the better IMO. I have also done a couple of breeder trades with others for some rare gems I’m looking forward to popping soon.

Lastly, I’ve provided a few uncrossed, pure X18 packs for auction to a few guys on IG. You should (hopefully) see those coming up for auction very soon. And I still have a few packs left to put together for one more auction. If you guys know anyone running an auction, and it’s a GOOD cause, feel free to PM me some details, I’d love to support. These seeds would be much better served helping someone in their good cause than for me to try to sell and capitalize on them myself. Good karma always comes back around, so just trying to put some GOOD KARMA out there :wink:

Yeah I was really hoping to get some of those pure X18’s, as you know that was what I asked for if it was possible. I’m trying to collect landraces myself for a future landrace project of my own, in time. I have away’s to go to find some landrace jewels… I think these X18 x Starfighters will turn out good, All of them sprouted and are looking good for sure!:slight_smile:

Four of six of the Lemon Tree crosses are showing leaves. Dug up the other 8 being stubborn and to my surprise, they are all showing tap roots. WhooHoo!

They must have sank deeper while/when I mist them because they were fully buried. Probably 5-6 seed lengths deep (1/4) inch? Way too deep.

Hey guys looking good…
That package (for me) with testers, has been in the uk on December 8th then sent back to NY tried tracking it again and "it was in transit to destination " as of yesterday, (January 16)i reckon the sorting machine is reading the return address and that’s why it’s been bouncing around the US since 4th Dec 17.
I’m still hoping they’ll get to me. ( optimist lol.)
In the meantime I’ll be watching this thread. Happy growing

Hey @Gaz29! I believe you might be the same Gaz that I used to occasionally converse with on another forum some years ago. Cant remember exactly when but Franco was still with us then. I was bongwater830 in those days. Ring any bells brother?
