strayfox gardenz #circleofblessings
- Thread starter strayfox gear
- Start date
Not the first time stray's made fems, but the first time in a bit they've been released.
Also, does anyone else reread this thread just for the the hell of it? No? Just me?

I love what stray is doing! I love the passion of his fans. Everything I have gotten interested in sold out before I could get ahold of it, so ya I’m a spectator too. One of these days I’ll mess with some stray gear!
That’s all, carry on! B)

I grew the care package outdoor this season. Tall branchy plants with very good growth characteristics for outdoor growing, rain and weather tolerance, and mold resistance. Nice citrus candy smells. Kinda like lime jello. Good yields.
Did I mention these were tall? up to 11 feet in my outdoor grow... in 5 gallon pots! very happy healthy plants.
They were heavily seeded with lebanese landrace, so the finished bud doesn't look spectacular. The hybrid should be useful for giving the lebanese larger structure and more bud sites, increasing yields while retaining desirable characteristics for healthy low maintenance outdoor growing.
The high isn't anything crazy, but it is a nice trance like indica effect.
The standout pheno was shorter and purple with some resemblance to the old purple urkle cut. Unlike purple urkle it was mold and mildew resistant. Similar high to the others, maybe slightly stronger.
4 out of five were completely healthy and pulled in good high yielding harvests with thousands upon thousands of seeds. One was a total loss to mildew, consider it natural selection. I'd be able to tell you a bit more if they had been sinsemilla.
Looking forward to seeing someone grow this care package sinsemilla.
Good description

Picked these up. Dropping Happy Place in h2o tonight. Very anxious to see what comes from both these. The sour blue haze should have that heavenly hazey scent. I grew out Strayfox's Wake of the Dragon (dragonsoul x blueberry temple) both phenos blood and green. They had completely different scent than the Tangerine power's, Jesus og's and Bruce Banner x stardawg's they grew next to. Hoping to get a frosty Tahoe pheno from the Happy Place.

I forgot all about this thread. I’m growing out two of his reversal testers.... Vintage Sensi Star/Highmac x Buttercut ssdd & Iraqi Wedding/HAOG
I vegged for 3wks, transplanted to the brim in 1gals, heavy defoliation first day, then left alone ever since... I’m probably 1-2wk from harvest at this point. Here’s an early pic + the most purple HOAG

The last of my testers... this time, it’s his Iraqi Wedding/HAOG reversal.
Never had the haog cut nor Iraqi Wedding from Stray, but without prior reference, I think it’s safe to say that there’s a lot to be desired with the smell. One has a touch of “OG” to it, but all are faint on the nose. Density and flower-to-leaf ratio is ideal. I think I saw Stray officially announce these on his post about #strayspicturecontest. So yeah, expect to see em soon

I am currently growing 5 Skunk Tamales from Stray . 3 of the 5 have thrown early male parts . I have been picking them off hoping for some skunk in my life ? If the herm action doesn't stop soon I will have to give the 3 the axe and watch the other 2 like a hawk. Here is an early pic of 1 of the shorter squat phenos. There was 2 tall stretched out ladies and 3 very short. I will put a few more pics up tomorrow of what they look like now . Week 2 of flower. This pic is day 2 of flower . 
Most of Stray's gear isn't feminized. If it is feminized it would clearly state Stray's reversals or something similar on the label. With that said, Skunk Tamale wasn't feminized. If you're seeing male parts early in flower (week 1-2) on them, it's probably because they're male plants...unless you also see female parts on the same plant. The pics posted here don't show any indication of gender, even when zoomed in.

I know they are not feminized. They are regs . They are also not male plants. They are females that grew balls . I plucked them off in hopes that I could get a good harvest if they possibly don't come back. Sometimes when you get some herm gear you can just pluck the male parts off and they don't come back , Sometimes not so lucky and the plants have to be scrapped. I haven't seen but 1 or 2 pollen sacs in the last couple of days so I have my fingers crossed. Here are a few pics of them today moving toward week 3 .
Stray has a couple bud shots on his IG. One from Dec 2019 & one in March 2020. His description is that the MI skunk (dairy farmer cut) is more of an Afghani narrow leaf sativa-esque plant...so that's probably where I'd start with selection.
Let's see if this works...
Edit: The IG links will only work if you're following Straysmindset on IG, since his account is private.

Thank you for the info. I do not have an IG account. Maybe in the future I will check into it . I will keep an eye on the narrow leafed plants then . There are 5 total.

There have been other reports of the skunk line herming, with stray acknowledging it as well

I did not know that ? So I am not crazy after all lol Honestly I plucked off all of the male pods I found and have not seen even 1 in 3 days . Fingers crossed . I have not heard of even 1 person finding any skunk in any of the beanz yet either which seems kind of odd Have you seen or heard of any skunk finds ? I can say that the short afghani thin leafed and super double serrated rks from heimi cheeba looks identical to a couple of the skunk tamales. Leaf structure and all. They have this weird thing with the bottom 2 leaves that stick up like legs . It is on 2 phenos of the skunk tamale and also on the rks. I will try to get pics up of it tomorrow. Pretty unique in my mind ? Hoping it means I have some skunk in these hills
Most of what I read was that the male MI skunk tended to be unstable with hybrids & chems. I'd expect the female might have some issues too, then. Would be interested to see what happens in a run from clone versus from seed.
Stray walked back the initial name. This plant was passed to him as Michigan RKS, but Stray changed to MI Skunk between sending testers out and prepping production packs--most likely because of the stigma surrounding RKS. That said, I'm betting there's more luck finding something more similar to skunk 1, like a "sweet skunk" than an RKS in the MI Skunk crosses.
