I've got 12 of 3 strains,
It's an interesting race, that's probably about as small of a sample as one would want to go.
I bet 10 each is telling.

Nice, fems or regs? I like to run about 8-10 in regs to get decent sample for breeding on. I'll be happy to get 3 fems of each from that batch of 29 (down to 26 I think now) to make it to flowering but I'll run more if they look decent. Always enjoy the mystery with new crosses. So far the best looking one's are the Columbian Ripper, all 10 are looking viableInteresting!

Definitely a purple tinge to those two on the far left/right. Figured some purple would come through on that BRxPL, I'll run a few next to see what's in there. Hoping to find some purple phenos in the BR x Columbian, the Columbian female was purple throughout.
Do you dry or cure in that box or is it just for storage?

Regs, I plan to run a another group of 4 each right after.Nice, fems or regs? I like to run about 8-10 in regs to get decent sample for breeding on.

5 God's AK-47's real close to selection time. I'm going to attempt pollen recovery from the best male.
The females of these will be the first to grow in fabric pots - finally getting with the times.
My first flower with CMH is looking pretty good so far.
I saw you were doing Columbian Ripper. Can't wait to see it!

Good luck with the pulls on those, looking for fems or males gives you a bit more of a chance of finding a decent pheno in there. I get more excited when I find a good male. They're the key to good crosses imo, but harder to find/select until you grow out some of the offspring.Regs, I plan to run a another group of 4 each right after.

People seem to either like or hate fabrics. I can deal with a little extra watering and don't find transplants difficult at all, but some complain about transplants being more difficult. A little extra work in watering with them but worth it imo, the root balls they build are awesome. Good luck with the CMH, grew some nice plants for me, some of the bigger yields I had were with those 315's.
Should have a decent selection form that CR batch as all look like they'll make the cut for up-potting. If the BR male can inject some better smell/flavour it'll be a killer cross. Some purple would be a nice bonus

I dry and cure in it. I am finding I can tweak the nose and possibly flavor profile by adopting some tobacco like curing techniques. I have a used small batch whisky barrel that I was going to use for oaking wine, but since it smells of wonderful chocolate it may never contain wine.
You might notice or think I did a shitty job trimming but that is in part what Im tinkering with and also since its for personal I really dont care about bag appeal.
I expect it will take about 3 weeks, they hang for 2-3 days the brxpl was cut 4 or 5 days before the other 2. Since it is so dry here the wood helps keep the drying slow and steady, I put wet trimmed leves in ahead of time to pre acclimate the wood. The tannins in the wood are whats responsibel for the scent so I want to try a wood like hickory that seems prety neutral and if I can find someting high tannin or having a smell that just somehow says "I'd smoke that".

Nice let me know how that works out with the flavours. I;d thought of storing some in a humidor but not curing, interesting test.

Ive grown out probably close to 150 of em from serious seeds...
Where can i watch?

I do Sunday Updates, on a thread called Here Comes The Boom
a thread I started when I started back up after a long break, and I was just flipping my first batch to 12/12, 1 out of 4 was female, and my "continuating education" began. I was pumped about flipping my first set after years. It's been fun.https://www.rollitup.org/t/ready-for-the-boom.938004/page-16#post-14092581

Was a bit busy so decided to just flower out those clones I left vegging while I was away in the 3gal pots. The SK#1 and Blue Pyramid will be pushing it but worse case I'll be watering them daily in the last few weeks. There'll be some pollen hitting the Blue Harley with the new BH F1 male I haven't had a chance to use yet and the Columbian Gold will be hit with the Blue Ripper BX1 rks male.
Here's how they went in last Monday, and yesterday at day 5. They're starting to figure out it's time to flower. All 4 of these are 49-52 day finishers so will likely finish as I'm ready to flip the pheno hunt ladies.

The pheno hunt seedlings are coming along well. Down to 27 total from the original 30 seeds. All 10x Columbian Ripper's look like they'll make it to veg, really liking the look of those. 9x Blue Ripper's are looking good too. Down to 8x of the Blue Ripper x Blue Pyramid (towards the front/bottom), they're a day behind but several are having a hard time getting their hats off so I'm thinking 5-6 by the time they leave the cups. A few clones in there filled that space but have the 2x4 tent and 2x4 cabinet ready to fire up when needed.

Into jars today, they were getting a little dry, not stem snap so they may go back to the box after a day or 2.

Looks good, glad to see someone else who doesn't bother with manicured buds for personal, seems like a waste of good frost and time
Most times I jar them while they can still use a bit more drying/curing (I cure in large coffee tins initially). Then I finish burping them in the jars until I'm happy with how dry they are. Nothing worse than over-drying them to affect smell/flavour.
