Your doing a good job with them they look nice and healthy, I'm liking the ducksfoot phenol as well .

@crazy_eagle: I'm flattered but it would
be pretentious of me to take any credit
in my opinion, it's because of my mentor
that we can experiment freely because
I love growing out male plants at home;
things have been progressing a lot faster
for both of us this way with the selection
through both our stock. I've probably talked
about it before, but I've been mocked for
growing out male plants here lmao just
the concept a lot of people can't under-
stand, I started my horticulture career
early in life and just really really love
male plants as in my opinion they're just
as if not more important than having an
elite mother. I'm guessing between like 3-7
months depending on when I can get an
estimate for my house, but when done
I'll be focusing my prime attention on sativas
dialed in their own tropical stalls and then
separate negative pressure cabs for males.
cabs. I'll be a stay at home head instead
of on-demand garden hand at that point,
there will be plenty of help for my old man
though so I'm not as worried as before. In
recent time I met someone bright enough
to call my apprentice, being younger and
free of nerve damage he should be excellent.
I've busted my ass for three years learning a
lot through hands-on and eventually I'll be able
to mellow out more and focus on my main
endeavors as far as selection goes instead
of focusing on CBD/indica which has gave
us good staples so far, but personally my
head craves sativa and I'd like to specialize
in landrace/full blood sativa as that's some-
thing literally not done around here. I'm much
more interested personally in breeding rather
than mass production, so my mentor and I will
still share a great symbiotic relationship later on
with a lot of space for the best proven specimens
selected from seed runs, and a great place to send
the bigger yielder/more indica leaning phenos as
I'll hold onto all of the sativa doms/ pure sativa lines.
Opposite interests make a fantastic team IMO.
The ducksfoot pheno really intrigues him as he's
never seen it in his 40+ years of growing so this
has been extremely fun and exciting for everyone!
Thank you again DUDE!! We get stoned everyday
and then go out to the shop to crowd around it
to geek out over it for a while before going to work.

Here's my black widow rhododendron about to bloom
happy spring Cannafornia testers! I love this one a lot
it's just about the darkest rhodey bloom I've seen though
this picture doesn't really do the strain any justice IMO.
Breeding the same color of bloom with an indumentum
laden specimen would be awesome and it's one of my
biggest goals pertaining to rhododendrons but my infant
koichiro wada isn't close to blooming maybe next year
or one after.. I took the classic red PNW and hit it onto
my Phyllis Korn, and the other way around last year.
What drives me livid about rhododendrons is it takes
5 years to find out if you've even created something
new, not close to the filial generation time of cannabis.
Another reason why cannabis is so much fun to grow!!
I love rhododendrons with a passion, the one that
started it all for me, but with how busy I've been
with cannabis I should basically start over with my
rhodey projects when I stop working around the time
I start focusing on my own personal stalls/seedmaking.
I type a lot when I'm baked I should probably make a
rhodey thread and dump a lot of pics plus dumping
some into the mushroom foraging thread, but as much
work as I do at my mentors a part of me doesn't like
taking credit for another man's garden. I help keep it
going, but still, it's just something that irks me about.
I just got up and found a Sour Bubble nug holy shit

It's starting to get difficult
distinguishing the individual
parts of this plant...JUMANJI!
I'm not sure how much longer
until she's thrown in bloom tho
the entire screen is nearly full.

I just started my Karma Genetics
journal check out the show from
my signature link! I want a nice
male from that gear to keep going.

That is going be one nice looking screen full of flowers.
Really enjoy your style choom...
Good vibes with good grow technique's and in soil to boot...
Could not ask for a better playground for the AT Kong...
Rocken brother!!!

Mine have made into the jar for a bit of cure and I took
some out camping and AT Kong
has such an incredible nose to her...
Very fruit roll sweet... Really smooth smoke and fairly quick
to hit the head... Mellow sweet-ish flavors and I can imagine
the soil will enhance her flavors to the next level for you...
Im so jealous...lol
At the same time,stoked for things headed your way...

So far it looks like the Kong mom took
what I needed her to take from the BATF and kept
her bag appeal fire red hairs..
Enhanced flavor and nose while keeping her Nice head,
looks like if given a long veg and topped she can still
provide a nice haul...


Good times brother....

The BATK#3 was thrown into flower
on the 5th or 6th putting us at week
3 of bloom, here's how we're looking.



The other phenos are still in veg stage
though are coming closer to bloom time.
These other phenos are also ultra nute
sensitive, I kept in mind that one of the
parents was hydro dependent or some-
thing like that and kept going along, they
seem to be coming out of it more and more
everyday. Here's a look at BATK#4 in 25g.



Here is BATK#4 next to Dj Short's Blueberry


A closeup of the leaves coming back to normal



And now, here is BATK#5 which I am much more
fond of, it experienced a bit of what #4 did though
not nearly as bad/sensitive (despite being the most
sativa expressing pheno). It smells very similar of
#4, which is to me like scotchbroom and sprite, but
the #5 being a lot more sprite. It's an interesting rub!



BATK#3 keeps spreading more and more through the
scrog, hopefully she will fill out the rest of the screen!

A very belated entry, will become
more regular again as things slow
down for everyone involved, new
things all around; including a new
personal space and expanding of
new space - which will finally give
me the creative freedom and much
more seed production that I've been
thinking about for over a year now.

If personal production is enough also
I too doubt myself being on-the-go
helping everyone elses' gardens 24/7,
focusing full time on seed production!

Here is Cannafornia's BATK#3; 6/15/14


Some male flowers have expressed
though not enough to ruin the buds,
I barely see any signs of pregnancy.
I'm keeping a close watch of it though,
the consistent ducksfoot leaves give
the buds this gnarly trident spear look.

Here is BATK#5 that was just thrown
into flower the date of this photo-6/15

Most intrigue and confidence in this plant
personally so far along this ride.. and also-

The BATK#4, which is getting better and
should be scrogged soon. Loving how tight
and uniform the structure is, she scrogged
herself for a while. Hope everythings good
on your end D.U.D.E., I'll be around more..


A minor slowdown with mentor's pending
move and figuring out my own new space
as far as ICmag presence goes, but full
speed ahead with expanded seed production
and my own personal, resulting in my energy
that was originally invested being a full-time
garden hand; now into my seed endeavors!!!

Their looking really good. The ducksfoot pheno I got going seems to be a nice strain so far, not much of a smell for me as of yet but growing nicely!

I was thinking the Caliente Kong had been hydro dependent as there was some interesting sensitivities seen with early Sativa loco and Caliente Kong testing,yet after growing ATK and SL myself im understanding that most of my line simply prefers feedings on the light side... Given the genetic make up,it's understandable...

Still, I wonder how ATk smoke/taste/veg time for good yields will compare between soil VS hydro I cant wait for all the reports so we can compare and find the best approach for desired results

They look like good ladies for SCROG bro...
Your doing some great training with them bro. .
The side by side with the BB is interesting and the
smells reports are golden....

Going to chew on the 411 for a minute but really
dig what im seeing...

Good vibes on the changes around your way brother....

BATK#4 in the foreground of NL5.
There's still some nute issue, main
branch just snapped off like nothing
the other day. Just waiting for these
to finish off honestly, it's been neat
and interesting seeing these grow..



The star pheno bulking up more, not
really any scent in the flowers though
I'm hoping the potential yield and some
interesting function counters the lack.




BATK#5 looking sativa stringy in the fingers,
has the most interesting rub of the trio, much
sweeter though similar to the other phenotypes.

I can't wait to see what phenotype 4's flower
development is like, I don't see any nanners
on #3 but I see extremely small seeds trying
to develop on certain flowers, abnormally small.
