Update on germinations:

King 91X - 4/6 have sprouted.
Hawaiian x Columbian x Afghan - 11/15 have sprouted.

Next up is:
Purple Monkey Ghani - 2nd round
Kash Af (Kashmir Azad x Kandahar Afghan)
'95 Silver Haze (Nature Farmer) - really looking forward to some real deal SH. One of my fav strains to smoke ever and I've never grown it. Thanks to the NatureFarmer for keeping them in line from the original release.


Here's a Guerrilla Fume' flower shot at 49 days. Great looking Afghan like structure and leaf. Definitely more of a chem & sweet smell on top of a slight Afghan musk smell. Not a delicate plant at all, unlike the Polecat. This one is way more robust.

Loving that Guerilla Fume'!

You've got some great projects coming up, I'm looking forward to seeing how your new round is going. I agree with you about the original Silver Haze, it was so much better originally.

That's the crazy thing about Sensi Seeds. After SSSC and Neville's time, Sensi Seeds dominated (rightfully) the seed game for a number of years in the 90s and early 2000s before the US breeders started coming out strong.

The Silver Haze was potent, more closely relating in effects with NYC Piff rather than some of the sweet, mildly astringent purported sativa leaners out now.

The Sensi Super Skunk was killer, as well. In my earliest ganja years I was blessed to be able to pick up some from an old head who was growing it. The Super Skunk and Cuban Black Haze was some of the absolute best smoke I could get back then.

I still think it's great that you can buy seeds and not have to wait a month and deal with them going through Customs anymore.

There's a lot of good ethical breeders in the US doing some really great work and I applaud them all. Sure, there are tons of people chasing dollars and the flavor of the week but the real breeders are still out there, thankfully. I also give a lot of credit to people breeding for CBD and cannabinoid ratios, autoflowers, and easy to grow genetics for beginners. That's opening up cannabis growing to many who never would have considered it and it's bringing them significant relief in the quality of life. That's awesome.

Seedwise, I'm eagerly awaiting Lucky Dog Seed Co's new releases. I know Durban Thai High Flyer x Chemdog bx3 and Jack Herer bx2 x Chemdog bx3 are 2 of the new strains coming out.

Alas, after flowering hundreds of males out across lines I finally found a resinous male! It took awhile and now I see it's not that common. Mad respect for anyone who puts in the work to find one. I'm even more happy it's this stud, because I'm a mostly sativa guy and I didn't get any VP males. Also, both VP & BSHW are super short flowering sativas so they have some potential I can visualize already.

Introducing Over Yonder #1 (Vintage Pakistani x BSHW) at 30 days of flower here:
oy1 @30days.jpg

All the males get moved into my "super stress" flower room to let them finish their thing. I really neglect/stress them with light water, heavy water, light timing changes, high humidity and no air flow.

Had one male (OK Pak Af #3) reverse the other day and I'm going to smoke the flower one he/she finishes. He's actually showing a little resin now too but mostly where the female flower is. I've read before that males that reverse on their own make good dads too. Will test that theory :)

Seed germ report:
- only 4/15 of the Silver Haze have germinated so far. 15 more to soak.
- 1/3 of Useful's Orange Cookies x Chocolate Diesel (threw those in for fun and to get a cookies cross running - 1st cookies run ever for me)

Standing on the edge of the diving board:
- Funky Cold Medina (DLA5 #13 skunk ass x BSHW) -- these are going to have some stank!!!
- Starduster (Dynasty) -- Just noticed last night Sannie released a cross with Starduster. Really want some sour D in my life.

Dragon Af (Cosmic Serpent x Kandahar Afghan) almost done flowering. Not the best pic with the focus but you can see the colors pop on this girl. All the pistils are turning into this bright orange color that really pops against the dark leaves. I need to get a whole plant shot in the 1 gallon to show how awesome the structure is. Nice side branching with a 45 degree angles of ping-pong ball sized nugs. Smell is intoxicating with this baby powder sweet smell.

So far, DreadBread(#4&12) yielded the most and Love Triangle is the most potent. My wife likes Pineapple Thai and we got a decent yield out of it too. It didn't look like much on the plant, but it was golf ball size nugs everywhere. I'm waiting for my harvest to dry out before I take pics because they seem to sparkle better when they are dry...
Looking forward to hearing how all these finished up for you. Any smoke reports on these yet?

I have 12 earthboxes and 4x Gavita 1000's on a light rail for this room and I was going to set up a double layer screen. My homemade Gro-kashi was looking kind of old, so I'm taking a timeout until I get more in the mail. It will give the smaller clones a little time to catch up anyways.

Here are the KNF ferments that I am using. Comfrey FPE, EM1, and FPJ made from a massive roma tomato plant. I had about 2 gallons of the tomato FPJ and it was the best stuff that I have ever used, it was a trial and I was sold on it. I think that it helps that the tomato plant that I used was a high brix plant because I got a lot of extract from it. The Build A Soil product is similar but it's more a JADAM recipe and it's new to me but it will replace my FPJ that I fell in love with. I have a flower period FFJ made from banana that my wife made for us. It smells like banana bread.

Heard back some on some test results (we'll post them once we get them in stock) for a few different strains from a local commercial grower. We're buying some flower and trim from them soon for samples at the shop:

Vintage Pakistani "came in at 18% with strong terp levels."
Happy Place "texted at 24% and will put you on your ass."
Jack Light5 "tested at 21% with outstanding terp levels and people can't get enough."

Here's a pic of their VinPak flower:

Got a new press for the processing company and this is the first run using the larger press. One ounce of Cosmic Serpent hash right here. Super strong and great tasting with that Wookie really coming through. Seems to have a super high ceiling that you can keep getting higher and higher with each hit. Ruined two afternoons of mine from 1pm -3pm already because once it catches up to you, it's all over. *one veteran smoker reported back that this is the "highest she's ever been" after smoking a couple bowls in a hash pipe. "10/10 high" she said. There's still a lot of room for improvement as we hone in on the best strains for quality and yield.

Here's a little brick of Too Buku that should have some really nice test results with high thc/cbd ratio. Taste is like a light Moroccan hash with the same color. Not a great yield on the strain but the medicinal effects should be worth it for some folks. It gives a clear headed type of euphoric high that seems to make me pretty happy. It won't knock you out and has a slight 10 minute creeper effect to it. 10 minutes you hit the peak and then it's pretty chill after that. Reports from the flower include helping with migraines within 15 minutes and with severe stomach cramps/issues.

50% of the Honey Sundae beans have sprouted and a few more look ready to jump up.

Just dropped the Over Yonder beans in the drink. Running a few extra of these to sort through to see how the other males look.

Next up:
- Lucky Lime (Useful Seeds)
- Castle (King's Banner #8 x '79 Christmas Tree Bud)
- Telescope Skunk (Nature Farmer)

Here's a pic from a very skilled local patient grower with the Nikah #7 cut from Oklahoma Clone Co.:

he took her down at 70 days and said she's reeks of dankness.

Made a couple changes on the seed swim meet. Dropped in some 88g13hp's to see what's up. Next up:
- Secret Santa ('79 CTB #2 (blue pheno) x Monkey Balls)
- Superstitious
- Then onto Castle, and Telescope Skunk.
