My Quest for the ultimate indoor strain grow log

Update:
losers
The Double Purple Dojo f2's I have are shit.....just can't grow them and get anything even close to what they are suppost to be
The GS Cookies #4 pheno....takes 12-13 weeks and will not yield......In my opinion shit.
Blowfish x uk Cheese pheno #6.......also is shit.....no yield and smell not real good.
My strain the red berry OG....have grow for 2 years ....also giving up on it...great medicine, but hermi's often and not a big enough yield....
Lemon Diesel......all Males.....never had a chance with this one.
Larrys OG......just can not get those nugs to get hard....and that plant streaches 3x on you.....my last batch I hit them with bushmaster....and they look better....but I am just about done with the larrys.
Blackwater OG......1st time through....very low yielding.....but I always get plants 3 times through, as I feel it takes that long to really give it a good shot.
Winners
Grollia Grape.....looks very promising right now
Southern Oregon Skunk x Affgoo.....big time winner...has everything...smell, yield, potency, uplifting creative body relaxing high....hard nugs.....both phenos are awesome.
and its a 50 day strain....
Shiva, another big time winner awesome smell, big hard nugs, easy to trim, great yield 55 day strain....super long lasting high that hits your hard.
Blowfish x Uk cheese.....very promising....has smell, yield, beautiful frosty nugs....still drying....have not let my testers have it as of yet.
Kypronite OG......I am so glad I saved those 4 seeds a few years ago....lost the strain and had to start from scrach...both phenos are awesome....lemon funk smell...huge yield,,,beautiful light green nugs with heavy trichomes....and super uplifting high.
Bluedawg....3 time through is a charm....just a killer plant to grow....very hard frosty nugs..easy to trim...AAA bag appeal.... blueberry chem smell....hard hitter....this baby will put on the couch
Blackberry....fresh black berry smell....lots of hairs but solid nuggs....excellent yield....excellent all around high....big donky dick colas.......10 seeds 1 female.
Black Bubba OG (Blackberry OG x pre98 bubba)....killer all around medicine has everything
AAA bag appeal, coffee...mocca....chocolate smell...hard nugs....average yield...very easy to trim.
Purple Berry.....still have the mom and it an excellent strain.
Purple Coral OG.....like the Black Bubba...hints of coffee, mocca...good yield...hard nugs...will turn purple with cold temps....AAA bag appeal.....will knock even the biggest stoner on their ass...and put them on the couch for hours.....very easy to trim.

GSC "stigma" cut purple pheno #2 & #5.....very promising.....my circle of growers grew these out from seeds and both look & smell killer.....mine are still in flowering.....

Next project:

Have all the Raredankness OG's in seed form....going to pop some doc's and also the Bubba x haze strain.....really I got over my head with too many multi strains at one time.....really 2 at a time should be my limit......you can focus way easier with only 2 besides all your reqular strains.
 
Update:

Update:

Been a very rough 6 weeks......left for 7 day vacation and the person who I hired to take care of the room hit one of my timers and 1 light was on for 14 hours while all the others were on normal 12/12....been though this 2 times before....I knew it would be brutal....and it has been.....people do not know how fast plants start to reveg...and how long it takes to reverse the course.......well its 4-6 weeks to get back on track...and the plant growth is wild....fricking sideways.....some plants never recover.........plants that are ready to cut...but look like they need a few more days...should be cut....they will look the same or worse everyday until they start reversing....

Anyway.....also had my AC go out when we had 110 degree days, and even though my lights were off during day time the room still get to 94 with lights on and my exhaust fan was running full blast at night and on a timer durning the day.....that was a brutal 7 days without the AC working...finally got that repaired.....and we are 68 night 78 day....and the plants look much better.

Here is a success my Blowfish x UK cheese pheno #4

Izzy thanks the good words

Izzy thanks the good words

Its a long process.....I will just keep on plugging.

Really liking this blowfish x UK cheese.....Just cut a whole bunch of clones of the three moms I have...all different phenos....just figure I will run a whole table of them and see which pheno turns out the best.

nice pics. good luck on your hunt. stay safe.
 
Well.....I can see why people get frustrated and quit.......hey its farming and anything can happen......it crackes me up....how easy people think growing cannibas is.....

Just about to harvest......and replant, as my veg room is overflowing from that reveg in the flower room.

Also did some breeding with the blowfish x UK cheese male....hit these with pollen.

Woody kush
Larrys og
Grollia Grape
Blackwater
Kypronite Og
blue dream
blackberry
DPD
and some others
and a back crossing with a blowfish female.

will be real interesting to see how those turnout

Well I am still chugging away.......

I believe I finally got a handle on the cooling of the plants and it taken the plants 20+ days to really show the results......still the buds are airy, but that will change with my room have constant high and low temptures.......its been a long process
 
Update:

Blowfish x uk cheese search for the best pheno....is complete.....have 5 "stoners" as my testers these people medicate 2-3 times every day...and I gave them 4 pheno's to test.
Pheno #4 is the winner...big time.

Looks....thumb to lighter size buds....light green with orange hairs to brown hairs....very nice calex to leaf ratio...nice stacking bud....smell is fuel...funk...pepper...mint...taste on inhale is almost like it smells....on exhale your tonge could become numb...depending on the size of the hit...effect is almost immediate...right behind the eyes...almost like a hammer.....one tester said "was watching the weather channel and finally turned the channel after 1 1/2 hours...after that they went outdoors and came back 2 hours later and never needed another hit.....high lasted almost 4 hours...
buds really frosted up...and got nice and hard......8-9 weeks and easy to trim....really looking forward to running a whole table of this strain.....

And the male I used...has the same smell.....so the crosses should be off the hook. Also did a back crossing of the strain to stabilize it even more.
 
Just real excited with all those crosses....when trimming and cutting out the seeds....there is so much dank....its amazing.

Latest harvest is

Green Thai OG.....have about 50 seeds x blowfish x uk cheese
Woody Kush........about the same amount of seeds
Red Berry OG.......WOW...OG kush x Red berry kush x blowfish x uk cheese.....should be real good........have about 50 of these seeds.

I do know one thing......with all the different phenos....for example the blowfish x uk cheese.....all are pretty good...great bud structure...frost....color....yield....potency...better than average smell......but 1 is just outstanding....I mean just off the hook.....and this is where I believe...the difference in growing occurrs.......if you are buying clones...you are not getting....the frickin outstanding one..........that one is very closely held.....you are getting the sister....which is good.....but not great.

IDK....if I will ever be able to grow out all my crosses....but I can tell you....I am going to try like heck.....
 
These seeds were gifted to me.....they were suppost to be "Double Purple DoJo".....zero purple....but....great smell....yield....frost...very easy to trim....and great high uplifting high.

Crossed it with my Blowfish x UK cheese mail...a few seeds are seen
DPD10-24-12closeup_zpsef37fab3.jpg
 
My blowfish x UK cheese #6 pheno....backcrossed it with my UKblowfish male....to start the IBL process on this strain....

Tested it today.....Wow baked for 3 1/2 hours.....somewhat harsh hashey and lung expanding....only dried for 5 days....needs some real curing and it should be real tasty....the high is "not a hammer" more of a sneak up on you....big time body stone...very relaxed....super focused......real enjoyable high.....Had lunch 3 times over a 4 hour period.

Also in the breeding was 2 different GSC phenos....everything is harvested and drying as of now...the seeds are beautiful tiger stripes.....I have both phenos growing on a table right now...pictures to follow.

Man....I have been through a lot the last year.....growing dank is fricking tough....I guess what I mean is growing super elite strains of dank is tough....it is very hard to get yield...hard buds..easy to trim....manageable streach...good coloring...sticky....super frosty....and very potent Mary Jane.....there is so many geneics that are crap out there.....all this takes major time.....I am super excited for all these new strains created in this breeding.

Right now my garden is running the best is ever has....everything is just real dialed in.

I feel so good when I go in the garden every morning.....the plants just are loving their home.

^^wowsers! great selection of strains. the larry looked super dank.great yield too.
loving all the frost as well. shows you know what your doing.
peace out.

Yo Mack...thanks for your comments

Yo Mack...thanks for your comments

I can only say growing dank....is humbling....way humbling....There are so many crappy strains and waterdowned strains...that is super easy to fail.....Without growers I have met that are like me...I could of never got this far.....We share strains and geneics...and when your growing from seed...it's easy to give up on a strain, because it's not doing what you think it should be doing...but if you let a few people grow it and get their thoughts and get to see pic's and the final product...you learn a great deal about that strain...what it needs to get dialed in....my version of the Larrys OG came from 4 seeds I found on a clone only strain when trimming a few years...I suspect it's some type of hybrid...because its starting to purple up....I gave up on it really for indoors because it streaches a ton...but gave it to like 5 outdoor growers...all of them said the same thing...great yield...frosts up and gets purple....excellent medical effect....when I was getting feedback from them...I started another mother plant....now I am growing it again...and have figured how to keep the streach in control....

Really to really figure out a strain...gotta grow it out minimum 3 times......on the blowfish x uk cheese strain....have 3 phenos...the #4 has the best smell by far...but the other two really grow super frosted up buds...and a similar smell...just not as strong.....I was going to shit can the other two and only keep the #4....but now that I am through 2 grows with them and just starting on the 3...I am keeping all of them....they are all different....and really exceptional strains......

I am so excited for all of those crosses......but I believe I have found some strains that will always be in my line up....

of course the quest continues.

^^wowsers! great selection of strains. the larry looked super dank.great yield too.
loving all the frost as well. shows you know what your doing.

Nice grow WeedDaddy50.
The I.C.E (Indica Crystal Extreme) is very prone to powdery mildew in high humidity over 55%. So if you can, try and keep the RH under 50% during flower.
Grown right, this strain is really good. SUBBED.........
 
What up alone....thanks for the comments....your are right about PM some strains are just a magnut for it....Bubba & black Bubba OG are perfect examples of strains that PM just shows up really for no reason it seems....so ICE must be in that column....about 1 1/2 years I have a huge battle with PM...nothing seemed to work...until I got my sulpher vaporizer....now it's really a set it a forget it...make sure it has the sulpher beads are in it...set it on a timer for 2 hours every day in the dark period....bam...PM never an issue...of course I have a dehumider going full blast 100% of the time and keep my humidity 45-55%...but even with that without the sulpher burner...PM WOULD appear.

thanks for the tips......I am cloning the Ice moms right now....hope I get some ladies.
 
Well today is transition day....my veg area is overflowing...my clone area is overflowing...and all the humidity domes have been checked and they are ready to plant...one table is ready to cut now....one in 7 days and one in 14 days....just a ton of work to do......the difference between an 8 week strain and 10 week strain is just huge...cut half of this table about 4 days ago...but those Larrys were really purpling up, so I decited to let them go another week +++ the GCS #4 is a fricking 12 weeker...so they must be moved...there is only 3 of them...but they are huge....all of this has to be done over the next day or so....I know....I know....I know....mixing strains on tables in a big no...no.....It's my own fault....but its the only way to really find those "Keeper" strains.....then I can run full tables.
