Hey brother - I bet she does smell outstanding. Dumb down the body yet still fire up the mind...

Thought you might like to see 'ole Lester the stress tester @ 12 days





Trying to learn and understand this fella a bit. I love his stretch - I like him 10x more after seeing that. He was just trimmed back for clones, had his roots cut, re-potted - then flowered....so all growth on him is technically stretch from flower - which is something I really wanted to get an understanding of.

I have to be honest and say that Capt. Crip could not have returned to us here at ICmag at a better time - his recent updates to his Breeding 101 thread, discussing some of his personal tricks for male selection - just truly have come at PERFECT timing for me. Anytime the opportunity to amass more knowledge arises - it gets me excited for the potential of progress and how that information can improve and better my own personal methods....
ICmag is here for sharing the knowledge first and foremost - so I'm thrilled to see that still at the heart of what drives and motivates this community! Capt. Crip coming back with some knowledge versus a well timed and sequenced seed drop - say much to me about the man - any rate.

I for one am very glad to have his presence back amongst us - so a big and proper welcome back to C.C. !!

So with that aside - if you go check out his thread, you'll get an understanding of what I'll be doing in the next couple weeks - I'm going to try to coax an early resin response out of my current Lester - as this is a technique that I've never tried nor is it something I've observed personally - so, going to give it a try.

You know - I've figured out what the deal with that is...

She's just running outta room to stack calyxes on her flowers, so she's making some room on the fan blades...hahaha. I mean, they're frosty - I'll smoke it...hahaha. But I don't know - it is odd.

It's odd to become familiar enough with a series of plants to simply see a picture of a seed pheno and say confidently - yep, that one will be, this, this...blah, blah...but truly know you are correct...and even more odd to have anticipated and paired things together intentionally - and to have that desired result surface and be experienced / enjoyed by others - it's a cool experience to put it mildly; Encouraging as well...

Im curious, what different traits are you breeding for in this cross differently from the BKGK Bx1? I mean obviously with the BKGK Bx1 you tried to capture the BKGK clone traits. but what traits are you trying to capture in this one? hope that made sense... just curious.

[dank.frank]

SourSmoker - hahaha - I like you man - that was GREAT question.

stretch indica blue kush...is the influence I am hoping to see surface in his offspring.

I want the powerful cannabinoids / resins, the kush flower structure (golf ball), and slightly longer flower times from pre98 Bubba - while maintaining the stretch, vigor and the berry terepenes in play from the Digi.

That BKGK x Digi Bx1, you are right - he was a COMPLETELY different expression. That plant has HEAVILY influenced by latent Sour Bubble and Bubba Kush traits. How it was THAT much away from the Digi and yet still maintained those amazing berry profiles - but also - made it deeper, more plum - from the grape infusion of the grape krush...

And that is where I think the biggest (and perhaps obvious) difference in the work is going to be:

1. no Grape Krush - no grape at all- ZERO modern blueberry. This male is all back to the 80's Digi thai influenced blue.

2. This pheno - the expression, is not destined to be a plant that produces kush offspring. All he is going to do is cheat and steal their golf ball structure - but he has a lot of the Digi influences... ALOT. I don't think Bubba will be absent in the offspring, but I actually think it is going to be more like highlights from bubba in the flowers with growth and structure and terepenes taking over from the Digi.

IN PART - why I think he makes an EXCELLENT partner for Ghost OG - I'll have these in dirt ASAP. I'm really excited for this one.

I'm envisioning:

9wk plants - that have about 2.5x stretch. Thick meristem, top well, some what lanky - need stakes but could make a killer SCROG - flowers that start small - and don't really pack on weight / frost until about the middle of the 5th wk - and then they just rocket to the finish - could probably go 10wk no harm if you like them more amber. But - classic OG/Bubba chunky golf ball flowers - so, not as long or pointy as an OG bud could get but fuller and fluffier - more round - with a creme-hash-BRIGHT berry/slightly sweet candy lemon terepene profile. High that is at first racy and exciting for the first 15 minutes and then settles into your neck, shoulders, chest, and the lower back of your skull - leaving you in a sort of - wtf just happened, I'm wasted - moment- that'll leave you in a mental stupor of self absorbed creativity and uselessness of thought - that only after about 2 hours and you shake your head hard does it suddenly dawn on you like being spewed forth from a time machine that you just lost the afternoon and as the focused thought of how exactly that happened and where did the time go - as reality sinks back in and the world seems to suddenly return to it's merry-go-round pace. Leaving you some what disoriented but yet appreciative of the escape and eager to return to where ever it was that you just "went"....

KNOW - if, if, if - you can relate to that, then you know exactly what I am hoping the Ghost x (Bubba x Digi Bx1) will end up...

The White - I'm not sure. I don't think I hit the nail on the head exactly with the White x Digi Bx1. It loosened the flowers up a bit too much. Introduced some inconsistencies. But it's REALLY good smoke. I am hoping the vision I had for white x Digi Bx1 will be more realized by introducing a bit more indica to my male. This particular Lester fits the bill perfectly for what I would have had in mind to try again with the White.

I had told folks previously, if I like the White x Digi Bx1 - I'd use some of the frozen pollen to make more seeds for everyone. Well, you see - I've skipped that notion and not gotten stuck or lost or gone off on some random tangent project. Nope. Going to stick to a game plan and pursue the results I am seeking. I know I'm working within the right pool of genetics - this I have no doubt about - it is just combining them in a way that produces something BETTER than they are apart as stand alone plants....I don't want to just mash stuff together here. This is about remaining progressive...

Soursmoker - Sorry for answering your question with an essay.

Oh and folks...for what it is worth - the "BooBerry" tag is going to be applied to my personal stash of Ghost OG x Digi Bx1 when those are made. Those will be private stock to sort and hunt some parent material for establishing a baseline for a long term project.

These seeds will certainly keep the "kush" moniker - ie BooBerry Kush - OG "Kush" / Bubba "Kush" - and in all legitimacy, the flowers will reflect this "kush" structure, so it remains appropriate to "kush" up the name on my end as well...lol.

It is HIGHLY likely - that this Bubba x Digi Bx1 will be kept in reserve as well to help with this long term project, if it is found he breeds as desired in his current project.

Stick around long enough - I assure you everything I am making - has a particular purpose in either gaining understanding of a particular plants filial traits or to establish a base foundation to build upon further.

I have a VERY long term goal; something I want to challenge people to as part of this Stank Bros venture - that I've not even discussed yet. But all such mysteries will become obvious naturally as the tale is writ.

frank, all I have to say is its very rare I log on from my phone to respond... lol
I don't mind the essay at all man, I could read your posts along with a few select others all day everyday for the rest of my life if I had the option. it's so obvious that you have a set goal and plan on getting there and can envision that. lol I knew you would have a response like that and it's exactly why I asked lol. thanks...
would write a lot more if I was on the computer

[soursmoker]

oh and I'm determined to be the first to figure out this mystery! second to maybe, Phillyhy.

[milo_xxx]

dude d.F
Long winded much?

seriously though, great info.

[soursmoker]

haha maybe im stoned but after reading a few of your posts again... it seems kinda clear to me but I have a feeling its a bit more complicated...

you are trying to create a TRUE Blueberry/OG line...
You don't want just blueberry or just OG(lemon)... you want them to become infused into each other, something that not many, if any, people know... Obviously this is going to take you more then just one simple hybrid crossing. You are making many hybrids and taking notes on parents and the type of offspring they created and then revising your work from there to finally, one day, get the perfect match...

Am I right? I still think it's more complicated then that... but it makes sense.... i hope.
