Hey y'all, here's a bit more on the last run and a new run of plants I started last night after harvest.
I started the last run with a few special projects, one being the AKBB Chocolate Thai. I had some clones I created from JCS Hawaiian sativa, PSB Cannatonic, PSB Nordle CBD, PSB Harle-Tsu, AKBB freebies from Heritage (Deathstar x ACC RKS),and Seed City Cherry Pie that were included in the run with AKBB Chocolate Thai.

I usually start seeds, then at about 12 inches, top the plants, then take clones from the top nodes after a few weeks of node growth. Since the plants are forced to concentrate their efforts to nodal growth, these a produce nice clones with a long "leg". I then transfer the clones to another tent to get roots and continue growing them to about 12 inches of nodal height, all the while keeping the "mother" from seed to keep the clones coming.
I then put the clones into the flower tent to determine sex, usually within a few days to a week, removing males, unless I have a breeding project in mind.
Breeding projects from Spring 2023 include:
RSC Tashkurgan Male x RSC Afghan mix random female(smelled of berries)- here know as Tashkurgan x Afghani.
RSC Tashkurgan Male x New420Guy Post Traumatic Purple - Tashkurgan x PTP
RSC Tashkurgan Male x AKBB NL#5 Haze
RSC Tashkurgan Male x Kalashnikov Kubansky Ubitzya (Cuban Killer)
RSC Tashkurgan Male x Seed City Bruce Banner freebie
RSC Tashkurgan Male x Seedman Alaskan Purple
Exotic Alchemy Lambsbread Male x TLT Iraqi Babylon(from the province I was deployed)
Exotic Alchemy Lambsbread Male x Kubansky Ubitzya

Most projects of mine are looking to create unique genotypes with the goal of some medicinal value in the effects.
Lambsbread x Iraqi Babylon will hopefully be praise God sativa meets coffee-like bowel movement stimulation. This cross produced dark purple bud calyxes with lime green yellow pistils, very unique plant. Pictures attached.

So, this year my goal was to grow out some of the 2023 crosses and explore the different phenotypes presented in my indoor environment. I am not looking to sell anything knowing that these are just raw F1s and realistically I understand the amount of time to work the lines, which I don't have. That being said, I am really interested in exploring the lines to find some unique keepers and in the interests of crowdtesting, I have previously exchanged some seeds to other growers at the 2023 SLV Seed Exchange. I only hope it can change someone's life one day.

Curently, I have this list in flower tent, trying out some new breeders/seedbanks/stuff I'm interested in;
2 females Tashkurgan x Afghani HP,
5 clones of JCS Hawaiian,
1 female clone of Lucky13 Space Skunk
1 female HGS BC Blueberry
1 female Serious Seeds Serious 6
1 female Nirvana Maui Wowie
1 female Paradise Seeds Nebula
1 OSBA Super Lemon Skunk
1 OSBA Sour Diesel x Skunk x NH #21
1 HGS TGA Deep Purple

Current Veg tent list as follows;
AKBB Vintage Blueberry
AKBB 907 Blue Genes
AKBB Trailerpark Blueberry
AKBB Beatrix Choice
Colorado Sativas Nepal Jam
Colorado Sativas Zacatecas
Colorado Sativas Nigerian Sunshine
Kyle Kushman Sour Diesel
Seed City Cherry Pie
Seed City Purple Urkle
Tashkurgan x PTP
Tashkurgan x Afghani
Lambsbread x Iraqi Babylon
Lambsbread x Kubansky Ubitzya

Seed starting list, in the clone tent;
Bob B Chernobyl Slymer S1
Bob B Fireballs
CSI PCK lot 21
CSI UK Cheese S1
CSI UZBEKISTANI IBL
CSI '79 Xmas Bud
CSI Sterling Skunk
New420Guy Tajikistani HP

In all of my tents I use an adapted version of the StinkBud aeroponic Rubbermaid tote system, in the Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks thread here on RIU, thank you StinkBud!!! I use Ecoflow 360s, Art-Dne or IGS011 cycle timers to spray the roots for 60 seconds every 15 minutes. I have learned to turn the sprayer manifolds to point the mister heads down instead of up to prevent the leaks from the Rubbermaid lids, and after about 3 years of trial and error with other anti-leak methods, this method has worked really well.

Thanks for reading, hope this inspires you.
Green gardens and positive vibes to you all.

Had to move the plants out of the 2x2 (I use it for drying). I am fed up with jostling, and am very close to picking up a 5x5.

Low humidity is slowing them down, and I have to keep the 300W at 60%. Looks like it's time to feed them, too. I'll move them to the 4x4 in another week or two when the current occupants fully ripen.

Genders still undetermined. I also need to figure out training for this run (at least a topping for now).

(Plant at top-left is an indica mother, unrelated.)

Dude you aren't playing around, I LOVE IT. You've got my ideal version of a grow going on over there. Just awesome, you got a grow journal we can follow?

"Most projects of mine are looking to create unique genotypes with the goal of some medicinal value in the effects."

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help ya out. That's a very cool/noble goal!

Any thoughts on his best 100% indica strains? And if possible what smells they impart? I want terpenes, any terpenes. Muchas Gs.
M10 just dropped at JBC. It's "purest indica" aka Steve Murphys afghan, one of the parents of Northern Lights. AG seed co also has purest indica.

Should be 100% pure, the photos I've seen of AGSC lead me to believe it. I don't take Dave for a liar, so I imagine it's the real deal.

I've been a short time member, first post, I'm a fan of akbb's offerings. I've been following this thread for a little while and figured I'd chime in. Heritage seedbank was giving out m10 bx and kalimist/A1 as freebies a few weeks ago, and a few weeks prior.

I want to give you a quick thanks for spreading the word. I immediately went to JBC and ordered some M10.

I picked up some ACE Malawi a few months ago, and I've been in the market for some indica. Given some good phenos on both ends, my intent is to cross.

I'm very glad to have gotten indica from AKBB. I'm new to their work, but reputation is stellar and pictures are impressive. I get the impression AKBB is passionate about their work, disinterested in hype, and overall genuine in deed. Kinda like the general Alaska attitude.

Glad to help! If you haven't already, check out his interview on The Potcast. It's 5 years old, but the knowledge is timeless.
