I'm bringing into the world a new creation. "Raft". float on it.

it all started 4 years ago. i had a garden of bagseed. it came from sacks i was getting from a friend. he said it was indoor hydro from up north. ukiah if i'm not mistaken. it was nothing but the best. always a phone call away. always A+ quality. white rhino and blueberry are 2 of the strains i remember. i grew some out. my brother-in-law came home with some plants. he said they were blueberry clones from a club. one was a male. not a hermy but a straight up male. he grew it out and saved the pollen. i seeded one of my plants. these became my "base" breeding stock. i called it roadtrip because i was working on the road out of town when i did all this. i would come home every 2 weeks for a weekend then leave again. i owe a lot of this to my wife.

so i took the roadtrip. grew it out. got pollen. i pollinated it with itself and got my F2's. i also pollinated some trainwreck with it. and a clone from the club called "air force 1". it was a sativa that grew a missle type cola that smelled of red wine and candy. the roadtrip has also been crossed with this and that along the way.

so when i pollinated the AF1 i only got 1 seed. it was a male. i took this male grew it out and collected pollen. i pollinated a roadtrip female and got "hijack". see how i "hijacked" Air Force 1? i captured it and took it as mine. the weird thing is is that hijack and roadtrip share NONE of the same traits. complete opposites.


then, here it comes......................i took the pollen from the AF1 x mystery male and pollinated a trainwreck plant that i had grown from some trainwreck bagseed. so i now have an trainwreck x AF1. the hijack and the AF1 are alot alike. so if these 2 strains combine i shuld have some decent smoke.

i have 1 in flower at somewhere around 5 -6 weeks(?). i will post pics tonight of her. i also have 1 outside and 1 fully seeded inside. the seeded one is the subject of the "milking my nuts thread".


















this is all really confusing and i didn't write half of it down. i may be mistaken on a generation here or there. out of all this i have so far 3 solid strains that i have isolated and somewhat stabilized. i have many more to grow out. AND i've been pollinating outside my flower room then putting the plant back in. i have random seeds on all my plants. all different strains. some have been pollinated by male flowers that pop up at the very end of flowering on other plants. some have been pollinated by the "raft" pollen. it is only 1 or 2 seeds on a plant. you would never know. but now i'm holding all these "bagseeds". since it's just "bagseed" i guess i should throw them away. :blsmoke:

dude, i'm stoked...me and my wife had just laid out all our strains made a vote for the next to germ and raft won, i just tossed some RAFT seeds in a cup put them up in the cupboard and then got online and saw this thread........can't wait to see how RAFT turns out..:hump:.....I'll post pics of my raft as soon as there is something to show...

i forgot you have some. i'm so high. those will be an F1. i have the seeds of the F2 almost ready.


so roadtrip was named because i was on the road. nice solid name i was told. the high is indica tiring. like a long drive.

hijack was a hijack of air force 1. another nice solid name. and the high is sativa soaring. like being on a high jacked plane.

raft is a combination of the 2. RT- roadtrip, AF- air force 1, split the roadtrip add the air force 1 you get RAFT. i haven't smoked any yet but i bet you end up bobbing and floating. like down the river on a warm summer day.

i named the strains BEFORE i sampled any of the smoke. this is all falling into place. :mrgreen::blsmoke:

I'm really excited. to me growing out some "bagseed" that someone took the time to breed out with some other strains to create a unique jewel is worth more than any of the seeds i've bought from amsterdam or wherever, i feel some of the weed is becoming generic however this is not it's new and exciting, thanks for the opportunity FDD..:joint::peace::blsmoke:

not to toot my own horn, but..... i have plants growing in my garden outside from seed bank seeds, cannabis club clones, and my own private stock. the hijack and the raft have the darkest green coloring. 2 shades darker than anything else. and only 1 seed bank plant compares in density of growth. i agree on the generic factor starting to play in. i just bought the big book of buds 3! how many strains can there be before it's all just a bunch of mutts? there are 1 or 2 new seed banks that are trying to correct all this.

mmm i cant wait...i think dj short,chimera and soma seeds are doing some good things...:joint:..to stop the generic genetics....:mrgreen:

nice thread I had a run in with some weird strain mixture on my very first and only grow. The pics of the babies I fgrew are on a link here. Ok so it bagan with my buddy giving me four seedlings that were said to be silver haze. I knew nothing about growing. So I said I would take them off his hands , as he knew even less then me. I figured "I smoke more so I should have them", I guess. So they sat under some flourescent lights I had underneath my kitchen cabinets for like 3 weeks . I watered them and gave them food. Well then I decided to learn more and my other friend who has grown before, said we should grow. So I convinced meh wife to let me turn the outside bathroom into a grow room. My friend then got some grand daddy purple clones form a cannabis club. So, we began.

Now here is where the new strain comes in. Of the four seedlings (silver haze) one grew differently, so i kept it outside. We studied it and waited to see what would become of it. Meanwhile we continued with the others. They grew great I gave nutes mollasses, c02 , evrything down to a mathematical science. Except for one thing. The bitch outside was actualy a bastard! So unknowingly I was polinating my babies in the room, because i would go look at that bastard outside then go in and give my other baies attention.

So I have scince harvested and the smoke is awesome, but seedy. So I was like "hey the seeds have to be a mix!" So I am now growing som weird purple/silver haze!

Sorry I am not as scientific as you all but I have just begun to engross myself in this great great hobby! I am so l0aded on this bud right now, and my wife loves me growuing because I am a lot calmer now and I am not always out looking for the next sack sort of speak.

I have started a detailed grow journal on this and I have also began growing white widow seeds, pure skunk #!1 and some hawaiin seeds my friend from hawaii sends me. he says they are maui waui , but dont they all say that. lol

so thanks for the great post I realy appreciated the info and the conversations. Please feel free to critique my grow journal in the grow journal section. I am sure you all can offer alot. Oh and the buds I harvested, they are resting curing the propper long way and I should have smoke until next harvest.

p.s. I will also be making some hash this next week and I will post pics and detail that for you all.

thnx again for the high time!
