Strainbrain-- your male is quite elegant. Good to see you keep him around! Any thoughts as to which gal to pair him up with?

Happy Travels,

Honestly, I haven't figured that one out yet. The only chucking project I am specifically dabbling in is the Grape Skunk/Grapefruit Jam - and at this stage of my growing life it's nothing more than a self-education project. If I get really lucky, maybe it'll be a good cross on its own merit - but I'm not counting on anything since I don't really know what I'm doing. (Yet. :smoke:)

As for Mr. Tsi Fly... honestly I think I won't have a plan until I smoke these two females, get a feel for the strain, and can decide what he'd best compliment. Offhand, I just dunno. But he stays anyway!

Thanks, Grace. :smoke:

Got another shot of the canopy tonight, things are 5" taller than they were when I left and everything is happy to be here. Definitely filled in the space nicely over the weekend - and flowers are taking hold nicely on all participants.




Unfortunately, I didn't get Tsi Fly shot before the camera battery crapped out. They're to the right and to the left of the big Grape Skunk in the center. I'll get 'em tomorrow, along with the RK and the chop-shots for the CFL F clone.

What I did get was some of the GSK building impressive colas with more-intense-even-than-usual resin production. She usually doesn't do that on the fans... pics @ Day 36 of ~70. These are two smaller buds, I want to get some good cola-shots tomorrow as well. The 4 'mains' are all gonna be fat.





And I got a couple of the remaining Mirre.




These are getting close... nary a clear trich to be seen but still not much amber.

loving the show in here SB :D that fat chunky mother of a cola in the bottom right of the overview pic looks huuge bro :woohoo:

what was that.. mirre?

Yep, that's Mirre #1... bigger (and a couple inches longer) than my forearm under a 250.

#2 is actually a little heavier, I think. Hard to tell until they're dried. #1 stacks calyxes into those sexy finger-bud foxtail things, while #2 stays round-cola'd and 'within the lines.' Makes #1 look huge but there's a lot of space in there. HUGE calyxes on #1 and so much resin... but #2 still has the moneymaker of an odor.

I think I'm takin 'em at 80, which is 6 and 8 days respectively. Phenos 3 and 4 are going into jars tomorrow, and I'll be testing in 7-10 days and again at 30. This is good fun. :smoke:

Yup Ido... they've outgrown the Wonder Haze at this point. Monstrous, for a 250. (Nothing like your crazy paper-towel colas... but then... lol.)

Good to see ya through here, T. My Happy Brother BX1 came today, finally... was you who sold me on 'em in the first place so thanks again. You can watch me do half as good a job with mine here in a couple months... :smoke:

Some more shots, because pictures are fun.

The C99 dried and about to go into jar:



I have this sneaking suspicion that I tossed the wrong cut... this one is about 3x as resinous this time as it was the first time. It's frostier than the other one was for sure - but it's also in the CFL box. I'll find out the truth in 40 days or so because I have the other cut budding up in the box right now.

And here's a shot of that Tsi Fly male's markings, just cause they're so nice. The hungrier he gets, the more pronounced they become:

I think we ought to rename it the 'FU' - sure looks like it's flipping us the bird there on top. It builds like that under the CFL light for some reason... it's similar but much less pronounced when I flower it in the tent.

does the leaf marking go away? my deep chunks are doing that too


It all but disappears if you get him really well fed. He seemed to grow out of it as he aged, but this clone is making new variegated leaves. No impact to vigor at all, hope the same can be said for yours. :smoke:

So here are the updates I promised yesterday... all of the rest of what there be:

Grape Skunk(s):



Romulan Kush, really starting to bud:




Tsi Fly 3
, slowing her stretch and beginning to bud:




Tsi Fly 4
, a few days behind:

unc: You hit it right on the head... that's exactly how that plant is. A thick haze of grapey/astringent funk you can smell a foot away. It's my 2nd stinkiest plant (nothing yet compares to that F... holy shit.)

RM: Frostiest plant in the stable after nearly a year. If I could only keep one mom, I'd keep her. Bagseed....

JH: It'll be ~March before I have seeds harvested, dried and viable... if they pass a germ and no-runt test here, I may have to take you up on that. Small as my grow is (6 ft/2 for flowers, 4 for veg) I can use all the help I can get. :smoke:

johnny, she's a bagseed! she does make some nanners, although I saw her done outdoors in two locations this season and she was 100% female under the sun and stars. Dunno what that means, except that my environment isn't real tight. She's top-shelf in every category of measure IMO.

I can only assume it's an S1 from Next Generation seedstock originally - it looks just like their stock photo and smells and grows just like their description - but what I do know as fact is that my buddy was a trimmer for the grow (PNW) and was able to confirm firsthand that it was 'grape skunk' and was a monocrop from clone.

I'll have some photos of her in a short while - took some tonight but haven't processed them yet.
