[LastHurrah]

Hello Folks,

I was informed that my order of Block Head and Fighting Buddah should be here any day. There's enough information about FB on here to sift through. The Block Head open pollination... not so much. I've got 2 4x4 tables (I thought I would do 4x6, but nope) and plan to run each pack on it's own 4x4.

Has anyone run the open pollinated BH yet? What'd ya find? How'd she grow? How long did ya take her?

Blockhead regular

Indoor
150 seeds of the classic Spice of Life variety have been open pollinated during our selection process to preserve this rare, elusive, large yielding sweet smelling family. More tightly selected improved Blockheads lines will be offered in the future, but this is your rare opportunity to preserve what the original population offered. Once this seed bulking has been depleted, not more of this open pollinated pure line will be offered.

Indoor flowering 8 to 10 weeks


I've done some searches on the original SOL BH. Should I expect the same from openly pollinated beans?

So I have like 15 packs of seeds on the way, some things I've been wanting to run for a long time but never was able to... stuff from Serious, DJ Short, DNA among others. But reading through Chimera's responses here and elsewhere makes me want to run these first. I'm actually ordering another pack or two of the BH just to hold on to, it sounds like something special.

I realize these are from SOL's original stock but I understand F2's can vary significantly from the parents.

I really appreciate any feedback!

100+ views (okay,,, at least 50 were mine) and no replies?

Did no one else pickup the Blockhead open pollinated beans?

Chimera, help me out if ya see this please. I've got your gear at the top of my list of beans to crack.

Hey LH..

I think Jahaze ran these and was pretty positive about them. He's got several threads around in this forum and they're all really detailed. Maybe he'll come in here and give his opinion soon or you can dig our his thread. It's not that old so should be on this or the second page of this forum..

Hi LastHurrah, I grew out 2 females. They are hardy plants with a nice hybrid type effect with one plant having a bit more head than body and the other one pretty balanced effect of head/body. These are great for finding a flavor profile and perhaps breading with. I had a cherry pie/hash tasting one and one that was a grape/berry tasting pheno. Both were decently potent and very easy to grow. I have since stopped growing both due to finding a blockhead sibling in the lullablock line that i like more. Had I not found that girl I would still be running the cherry pie/hash blockhead. Some of the best vape flavors...yummy. Anyhow, you cant go wrong with the OP and you will certainly find something unique for sure. My cuts ranged from 9-11 weeks but that is a personal prefrence in smoke and some may wish to flower less or more....again personal preference.

grape pheno
cherry/hash pheno
lullablock line keeper

good luck....

Here's a bit more about them from the archive sticky

(Chimera)

I selected the best of 2 batches of 75 seeds each selected in different environments (indoors and greenhouse), the best re-run indoors for terp and cannab screening. We found some absolutely unique flavour profiles, something that actually quite surprised me knowing the genetics of the parents intimately- they outperformed my expectations of them. The other thing I really liked of these seeds was the incredible yield and flower set. We're beefing up cuttings from some of the best for a client looking at producing on scale- the weight on some of these is just ridiculous. Even late planted seeds in the greenhouse put on the weight and didn't rot out, where nearly everything else suffered in both size and resistance from the late-season planting. So far it seems like that trait is contributing well to the next generation, with quite a few of the maternal side leaning phenotypes showing beefier yields than the mothers. Overall I'm really quite pleased with their quality which is why they are making an appearance in the catalog.

Here is my lullablock (cbd lullaby x Blockhead) which replaced the OP blockheads. This particular cut does not have chemotype II and is THC predominant. This is the same plant that is in the last post..12 days into flower.

Got these gems in the mail the other day. Can't wait for my current gals to finish in a few wks.
Also, got 5 of chimeras ultimix. I will post results.

I think it was bodhi that did a blockhead bx line.?

And I seem to Think it was purple frostbite that ran through some.
I remember some killer pix but I can't remember if he decided to continue/keep the line
Maby he will drop some knolage.

My interest has always been in the grape pheno Iv heard about, but when I ran a single clone that I found in Denver alas it was very citrusy n not at all grapish.

Prety sure bodie said he discontinued it. Not sure why but that it was up to the growers to make more.

Good luck w your grow there should b some fire to b found
Big ups respect and happy growing

I got replies to my thread...

And my beans came in the mail!



I want to thank all of you for the replies.

Kalbhairav - I'll be looking into Jahaze's threads and thanks for the expanded info on the line.

Jahaze - Plants look f'ing great! Is this what I have to look forward too? If so, I'm stoked. A question tho, how's the stretch? My style for this round is vertical bare bulb donuts. It helps if they stretch some. Anything else you care to add, don't hesitate.

wannabeebreeder - looks like our packs came from the same shop. Congrats! I'll be looking forward to your works with them.

Heusonomics - Thanks for the info. Grape is good for me, but that cherry sounds pretty good too. Tough spot to be in, heh?

So for the record, the following hit my doorstep today, 20 days since I mailed the two orders, both shops in Canada:

Blockhead (Chimera)
Fighting Buddah (Chimera)
Ultimix (Chimera)
AK47 f2 (Crazy Horse Seeds, another open pollination)
Shishkaberry copy (Ustad)
Trainwreck (Richard Williams)

Cinderella 99
Sweet Skunk x C99
Northern Lights x Sweet Skunk
Sweet Skunk x Blueberry
Kush x Blueberry
Kush x Northern Lights

I'm so tickled... what a good day!
