Tried out something new, and successfully received some space cake, vintage pakistani, and silver lotus. I'll agree with the sunshine daydream love in this thread, can't go wrong with that one at all, that one and tranquil elephantizer: remix (first release) are probably my most requested strains for medicinal use.
I just put the last of my testers into flowering, finally, with the lone female dirty hippy x 88g13/hp (7/10 males and two no shows) going in last night. The two pinesoul x g13/hp females I had were both very g13/hp dominant, which is not surprising as the infrequency of similar plants in the goji line would indicate it is a very recessive type. Very good and strong, almost identical, squat indica ladies. I'll be running both again from clones to get a better opinion. No intersex issues on any of these, and I debated keeping a very good looking pinesoul x g13/hp male but ultimately decided against it.
I'm going to be passing on testing for a while in order to work on my own lines for a bit. I have a lot of beans I've been saving up, a couple males I'm ready to work with, and a some genetics I made I want to dig through for some males.
On a somewhat related note, if anybody here picked up the ECSD x Appalachia that was available from workingman's dank via the seed depot back when, I would run that shit pronto. It took a few, but I found a girl that is a beautiful chemmier version of the ECSD cut.

Could never get that one. Would you happen to know if H&Lused AJ's cut of ecsd?

Was she getting enough light being tucked in the corner? Could be The White causing that but don't hear herms from Bodhi seeds too much.

Yeah, plenty of light.. the corner is not dim lit just difficult to access with the size of the room and layout..

You know, the first one was me being cautious.. It was a male preflower.. It is possible that it was an incorrectly identified male preflower.. But I'm preeetty sure it was.. That second one though,,, no question,, that was a real deal herm.. not just bananas in buds but full pods ALL over the plant.

Yeah, I was surprised myself.. Like you said, not a lot of herm talk on Bodhi seeds.. I can say for sure one of them hermed really bad though and there was not any extraordinarily poor treatment going on to blame.

It happens, I'm not complaining. I planted 40 Bodhi seeds.. 2 herms from 40 isn't even that bad. I've had far worse from a few different breeders. That said, those same breeders have produces some amazing mothers. Herms happen.. I'de rather find an amazing plant from a pack with a herm or two than a mediocre plant with no herm sibblings.. I'm pretty on the ball about catching them.. No sweat.. these days anyway. I've had 2 shitty happenings in the past related to herms.

BTW.. I told you all I collected that pollen from 2 Silver Mountain males.. remember?
Well, I hit that pollen to my Green Crack cut AND my 9 wk Super Silver Haze cut..

The green crack beans went kinda fast, but I've got some of the SSH x Silver Mountain beans if anyone wants some.. Maybe someone who does not have the $ to buy but is in need of beans?I would think that there is some of the Appalachia in there somewhere.. the discontinued status of the Appalachia is why I made them in the first place.. I plan to make F2's, then F3's, and so on.. (vague use of the F# system, obviously.. my mothers and bodhi SM by no means "breed true")

This is not "breeding" by any means.. just me chucking some pollen from some males from a Bodhi pack on to some females I've had around for years..

I don't have a ton or anything, but enough to share with a member or 2.. Hopefully someone who is in need as well as interested in SSH, appalachia, Bodhi, etc..

I had a similar experience with a lucky charms run from seed. Same mom, so maybe she's not playing well in crosses. I chopped the sacks off and let them finish up, and thank fuck I did. One was 'the white' leaning keeper material that lacked male flowers from clone, the other girl is why the fuck we pheno hunt! Don't give up on those girls, if you haven't already!

I already did.. chopped her down dead.. I don't wanna fuck around with herm plants.. I've got 27 genetically unique plants testing in this space right now. it would be months of work down the drain if the room was pollinated by a herm..

Next week I will be checking again for herms.. thoroughly! Getting a through look at every plant in this flower room is at least a couple hours of work..

Your right about fucking with full blown herms that's a no no. A nana here and there sure buts sacks everywhere can't fuck with it. Checking for herms is work fareal inspecting every crevice of the plant. I hate it but I love it at the same time lol gives me time with them

Well then I hope you never have to bear a stress test / dirty room. Pulled it all the way through until Dirty Sanchez aka Zombie Dong decided to be aptly fucking named. One ball got away from me on the one girl I didn't expect it, and did so very early. Low ball, OG style. This is what happens when you snooze forma day or grow complacent or place full trust in ANY pack.

I do not for certain, I know that the notes with the release said that it was using the ECSD clone only, my keeper grows/looks JUST like the sour d I had in 2008-2010, with lime green super sticky buds. I saw h&l on icmag a while back, but only briefly. I don't think that there's any of these left out there, he also said that he had sent all of the Appalachia f3s to tsd and they were lost in the ripoff action at the end there.

I just got some Blue Lotus, Dragon Fruit and Road Kill Unicorn!! Too bad that my grow room is packed full at the moment :wall:
I've got 4 Blueberry Hill left that I would love to cross to Blue Lotus( I love blueberry crosses)! I need a 2nd flower room :bigjoint:
Click to expand...
SV of CA? Was the Blue Lotus a freebie? If there's more of those buggers around, I want badly. I'm not the only person who thinks that was best blue strain they've ever grown, but it definitely was. Absolutely incredible. As good / better than the heirloom DJ's blueberry that's been in CO forever. So tasty, and just a euphoric stupid happy high.

Nope, I traded a brother from breedbay for some Cherry Hashplant F2's and some Blueberry Hill x Sunshine Daydream. I am glad to here that you hold Blue Lotus in such high regard. I liked Blueberry Hill, but I feel like Blue Lotus is probably more of a head turner. Every Blueberry Hill lady that I've dealt with seems slightly more airy and less resin coated than the the perfect idea Blueberry cross imo. I've just always liked the idea of crossing blue hybrids to each other. It will also be a great line to F2, F3 and so on and so forth.

I think it will definitely be easier to find a blueberry dominant phenotype of the Blue Lotus than Blueberry Hill, thanks to the snow lotus's function as a transparent male versus the appalachia, which is more of a transformer male. I actually only ran half a pack of blue lotus, and only got one female, but she was pure sugary blueberries. All kinds of magic opens up when you incross blue lines, mostly due to the great work DJ Short put into the original creation of the strain.

(11 for 11 on Space Cake, I am super fucking stoked to see how these turn out)

The 3 appy strains I ran could likely be indistinguishable from one another to most tokers by the smell and taste. Potency and effect, however, was a different matter.

The appalachia male is very dominant, and depending on how recessive the genetics of the female are they can end up rather overpowered. Pheno selection is the key, there, I think, and it is more important to run full packs of the appalachia hybrids if you are looking for the best. The current appalachia strains I'm running (keepers of SSDD, Elphinstone, and ECSD x Appalachia) all had similar plants in the packs, but most of those were green crack dominant plants that I didn't end up keeping. As far as my actual keepers go, they could not be more different in terms of smell, taste, or effects.

Contrarywise, the Snow Lotus is incredibly recessive, and every snow lotus hybrid female I have run has had aspects of the mother plant.

Could it be that you're a little more adept at gardening and you're bringing the plants closer to their genetic potential than Amos' Prego spaghetti sauce approach allows?

I dunno. Just throwing it out there

No question - if I were intent on delving into a line to find the prize, that's definitely the way to go on as dominant a daddy as appy. It figures that only running 3-4 of each lessens odds of 'the gem', but I don't pheno hunt. Plant, harvest, and smoke in most all cases, or pass the less favored on for favors and such.

I just can't get behind a harvest of one strain as opposed to several. There's never a failed room....always something worthwhile comes out. -- And speaking of Snow Lotus, 2 Solos Stash has no resemblance in smell and taste to 4 Gojis, of which three have had consistent sweet berry flavors. Yet the Solos are delicious in their own right.

I've still got Ancient OG - an SL - in the vault, and one day should get to it. But the pack of ATF, being Appy pappied, have no plans atm.
