Hi to all, especially the RUST crew! :wink:
Also a big high to this experiment's pollen fairy, where the hell have you got to, buddy?

This is a project I've been meaning to do for a while, I was going to start in spring, but curiosity got the better of me, so this is a preview.

Basically, this is a work in progress, the goal is to create some real "genius" weed, with very high levels of clarity and inspiration, a gateway to that ever-gushing fountain of ideas and creativity. Hazes have their place and all, but for me disorienting weed is good for a laugh once in a while, or for a serious mashing session, but not a tool in the sense I envisage the product of this experiment. Besides I've already got some good hazes...

The foundations of this experiment will be two strains:
Mum: A very Nepali-leaning NepJam F2 (originally from ACE) which has a wonderful creative, meditative high, and which leaves you unbelievably clear-headed, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the next day, regardless of how heavy the preceding sesh.
Dad: A 303 from SpiceBros. I haven't grown this one out, just used the pollen, but I have been very pleased with other experiences I've had with 303 in general. Basically the idea of the 303 is to give it some extra sativa zing, the Nepali isn't exactly sleepy, but I think it would be enhanced by the all out HAPPINESS and the get-up-and-go of those tropical genetics.
I've reported my 303xC99 cross in RUST, and I also have a keeper (NL5xHaze)x303 from the same dad, which is some of the strongest weed I've ever come across, a true one-hitter, but it does mess with space and time, let me tell you

Anyway, so I popped 2 seeds in, just for experimental purposes. I haven't even planned how I'll grow them yet. If they're fems, I'll probably clone and flower them very young just to get some taster weed. If they're males I'll BX to my 303 mum.
One of each would be nice, in which case some incest is not out of the question.

A couple of pics of them so far, below. One thing I did notice, much to my surprise, is that this particular 303 dad, instead of causing his offspring to stretch (as you'd expect) seems to make them even more compact. It did it to the NL5XHaze and it certainly seems to have done it here, too. Weird.
It WAS 303, pollen fairy, wasn't it?

hey gert good to see you bros, i'm really looking forward to this thread. after our previous discussions re nepali weed I can only imagine putting 303 with her is going to make a hyb with one hell of a high!

on a slightly off topic note, nl x haze is one of my favourite old school flavours with a lovely up and enthusiastic but slightly disorientating high. how did the 303 affect the progeny? from your description it seems to add power and depth but not clarity, would this be a fair description?

take care man, keep us updated.

Hiya A.N. buddy. Good to see you, too!

Yes, that's pretty fair. I'd also say it added a bit of happiness. It also "amplified" the disorientation...
Of course, that's off this 'unknown' 303 dad's pollen. The 303 mum which I keep is not disorienting. P'haps 303x(NJx303) will be our approximate destination...

May I commend sir on his excellent taste? LOL
Actually mate, my current staple is a 3-way mix of skuff from 303 (one day I'll manage to grow bud, too! ), NepJam, and NL5xHaze (orig sensi, not crossed). It comes pretty close to 100%. Well for me, anyway. Wish it was available off a single plant... but maybe there's a future for blending, like with whiskey - though I'm a single malt man myself.

Sounds like you have a great game plan. I hope you reach your goal

I have just started growing some of the Nepal and from your description it sounds like just my type of weed.

1 to follow!

gert lush, nice to see you working on some crosses with the 303 !!!! cant wait to see them grown out !!! how does 303 cross??? does it blend well ??? keep us posted !!! monkey5

[Gunnarguchi]

Looks like a very interesting and juicy cross.
Gotta tag on for this one.

Excellent work Gert, I'm a roll a big one for this thread.

[Gert Lush]

Thanks for the kind words everybody, yeah, I love you too!

Obviously updates will be slow at this stage (vegging) although I can say that the hybrid vigour is very impressive. I'll be posting again around the time I decide to get clones off these two.

In the meantime - OK it's a bit but hey, it's my thread* - here's two pics of my current NL5xHaze x 303 tip, at three weeks and 5 weeks(today). Nice bit of gain for 17 days. Lights been reduced to 10/14 in the last week so it shouldn't take too long to finish.



The last two pics are bud closeups from the "test-grow" I did previously (same cut). The bud is a lot more crystally than its NL5Haze mum and also smells & tastes a bit sweeter/fruitier. OTOH it is also not quite as fluffy as the NL5Haze, quite denser in fact.
BTW, I have named this cut "The Dispensation" in an attempt to get it to appeal to more Fundamentalists! LOL You know how Walters said that mj strain names are now so much more dangerous than they were in the 60s...
We need to get away from this "AK47" type commie nonsense, and use more Christian names! If this NJx303 experiment works out, I'm going to christen it "The Rapture"... Hallelujah!



* I'm only posting this coz it's the same dad as this NepJamx303 cross, obviously.
