These girls are very happy, they have exploded with new growth since we transplanted them into 400's last week. I hope they don't start to flower, we are not using supplemental lighting.

this is the widest one:

And another happy glue:

Pre-Soviet Afghan x Uncirculated OG (Source Genetics / OG Kushman )

Pre-Soviet Afghan x Uncirculated OG (Source Genetics / OG Kushman )

These are from seed, we have two females in 400's, They are doing very well. THis is an excellent cross, very vigorous growth, plant structure is a perfect blend of stretchy OG and stocky afghani.

Sweet & Sour Cindy (B.O.G. Genetics)

Sweet & Sour Cindy (B.O.G. Genetics)

This lady is from seed, a new cross from B.O.G. which he says is "for the outdoor grower". Out of 2 females this one was much more receptive to our harsh climate, and has been outside for 2 weeks now in full sun without any issues at all.

She resembles a Blue Dream in the vegetative stage, very vigorous growth with skinny leaves.

We are excited and curious about this new strain. THanks BOG!

White Fire #3 x Snow Lotus (Bodhi Seeds)

This is the first Bodhi out of five that we are putting into 800gallon pots:

Looks like she likes her new home:

Getting There...

Getting There...

THe morning sun shines brightly here, by 9am it's hot and the entire hillside is lit up.

It feels good to have made so much progress already this season... At this time last year we had just signed our rental agreement and were still a month away from ordering soil.

peace

Those all look great so far Shcrewsy.

I also have a pre-soviet-afghany conflict indica.
One parents seeds were brought in country in mid, late-70's and the father seed was recovered in a brick of afghany pressed weed which accompanied a shipment of blonde hash shoes.
For the young folks:
Shoes were the nickname of the hash shape, looked like sandals, pressed in cheese cloth.

I've had this cutting only plant since 1980, lost her once after law problems, recovered a few years later, but couldn't get her mothers cut back.

The double afghany indicas lineage is straight from the Kush-Hindu mountain range.
The weed is very high dessert compatible, and handles light frost well and can handle a lot of rain, and last in the yard to show mold.
Her pistols are super short, rarely exceeding 1/4" and an adaptation to cold night environment.
Easy to grow with low maintenance and never over-crowds it's interior until it exceeds 6-7'

She grows more potent outdoors than indoors, which is opposite of most weed lines.
I'll be watching yours for similarities all season.
I wish you a great grow year.

 

[HillBilly1]

Yeah I am watching it too lol

Every time you talk about it SG I drool a little. Can't wait
To enjoy it..

But these guy have some monsters coming up for sure

 

[SG1]

Luv watchin these high dessert grows.
Gotta know your stuff, both how you grow, and what you grow.

What we're growing is begging for a HD grow.
Hiding in a cave too long.

Sorry for the thread jacking Shcrews.

Fuckin excellent description! I hope our Pre-Soviet-Afghani offspring show similar traits, we are in the right climate!

Heres the biggest one of the two, Uncirculated OG x Pre-Soviet Afghani, June 1st ready for summer. They are in 2yards of soil each, but i think we might expand the pots, add another yard of dirt. I really don't want to see these girls held back by anything especially not being in too small of pots!!!

FUckin A man, its hard to buy enough food these days! The really shitty (moving dirt, terracing hillside) work is almost over though.

Awesome picture, hope mother nature is good to you and yours this season

thank you Snypette! so glad to have ya as always!
here's a few more pictures of the garden today, cuz it's finally starting to look like a garden.

Your girls are looking very nice.
Great to see all the energy you put into your grow.
In this world, regardless if it's drink, or smoke, you're either a go getter or you aren't.
I been smokin some fire for a few decades now, but a pothead/lazy guy I'm not.
You'll go far with your hard work

Don't know if we'll see too many similarity in our strains.
Every province in Afghanistan has a 1000 growing families with many unique features in there favorite lines.
They are chosen more for climate compatibility and heavy trichomes for hashish.
No one true landrace anywhere, but rather hundreds.

We do the same things for our own regions, only difference is us US growers love our variety of flavors and scents.


Here is a pic of my 2x afghany I have called Jihad for 33 years.
Original cuts this old are very hard to find.
But you can see the old time kush traits common in many present day kushes.





This plant was only 3' tall and will drop about 10 ozs.
The bud is some of the densest, heavy bud I've grown.

Gonna be fun watching your grow
I love this craft, and love watching others with the same passions.

Holy bah-jeebus that s awesome. as is this thread.

Jihad was the only cut I got back after a run in with the man in 1991.
It was retrieved from a friend of a friend of a friend.
And wasn't sure I had her until I grew her again.

I had the mother of Jihad which was spectacular.
Tall dense colas that you could use as a club Ooouch!

Lost another rare cut that was called 'The Rose'
Golfball gooey nugs that smelled exactly like roses, and a sweet rose flavor.
Never had anything like her, and doubt I'll ever see anything like her again.

On the plus side, I've created many new crosses that are testing well.
Ahhh the memories

Thanks for your hospitality.

Dude I totally know how scarce food can be at big grows. I work at this one grow a few years back and it was brutal. We only got food brought out to us once a week. It was never enough to last us and never what we really needed to make it through the week. Lol We had to ration every bite we took. The cool thing was the night a food shipment got dropped off, it was delivered by this old rancher and his wife, and she'd go all out and bring us a pot luck of cooked meat beans, rice, rolls etc. Sometimes spaghetti.
