Seed vault jailbreak - genes gone wild

Gorilla Biscuit out in the greenhouse with some new moong beans popping up.

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:

VinPak terps imo are like a chocolate/maybe a little peanut butter type of taste and smell. Really unique, light, and pleasant. You might want to grow those out asap! Magic in those beans.

Purple Monkey Ghani (Monkey Balls #6 (deep chunk) x Kandahar Afghani) in our homegrow tent setup at 9 weeks here:

Got the Telescope Skunks rising from the soil right now like little zombies.

Next up on the germ list:
- Northern Light5 ('89 NL5 Noof cut x BCSC NL5) f2s -- need a male or 5 for the f3 gen if I can find some. I know what I'm looking for in the male(s) just need to find it!
- Mined Flayer (Stonemason x Monkey Balls)
- Oil Spill (Mandelbrot) gift from a great guy
- Too Buku f2s - starting the year or so long journey into f2s to find some candidates for an f3.

That oil spill by Mandelbrot is a serious sleeper! Super potent, rock hard nugs, and a taste that stands out! You’re extra lucky on those!!

I actually saw a comment of yours about the unique taste the other day when I started to research it. Very interesting write up on the profile. Definitely lucky!

Strange, just been looking at that strain earlier.

I'm not into regs and it's far too pricey for me but will be interesting to see how they grow.

Good luck @The Mantis

Thanks! I'll keep pics and updates here once they come up.

Purple Monkey Ghani in the jar finally. Very musky smelling with slight sweetness. Indica stone all the way. It certainly has a lot of monkey balls (deep chunk) traits, but I'm not sure if I can say it's completely dominate yet. It seems like it's not as much of a knock out like the mom (monkey balls #6) was. Taste is definitely a little better and isn't as bland. The slight sweetness in it kind of improves it, but not in a huge way. Need to get more monkey balls flower to compare them side by side. Also testing them both in a side by side seed run with the Azad male. Trying to see if the PM is as dominate as the MB in this one. Will find out sometime 2021 if all goes well.

Harvest is in full swing for us so it's talking up a lot of time. We planned to turn 95% of it into hash but there's some great flower too. Always popping new seeds around here.

Oil Spill got 10/12 up and running.
Too Buku f2s got 6/6 up and running.
20/20 up and running on a hush/hush IBL we're testing. (going to start keeping some IBLs we're working with on the DL until we release)

Next up:
Grim Stanker (DLA5 #13 "skunk ass" pheno x Monkey Balls) - destined to stink.
Fine Tasty (Vintage Pakistani #1 x Too Buku)
Chocolate Diesel from @Useful Seeds
Dread Ghani (Dread Bread #10 x Kandahar Afghan)
Apollo 11 from Brothers Grimm

Just noticed it's been over a month since posting on here. For good reason, it's harvest time and we're short handed. Slowed down on the germinations too. Started back up with the Grim Stankers and got 100% germ rate.
Sprouting some AK Bean Brains Durban f4 now (9/15 up and running so far after 2 days). I've not sure if I've ever had real deal Durban before but I've been hearing more folks rave about it the last year. Then haphazardly I noticed on seedfinder that cookies is reported to be a Durban cross. And even more recently Chimera mentioned Durban is just a bag seed from a coffee shop in Amsterdam. Funny how many bad ass well know strains/cuts came from bag seed and/or accident. Time to put the test to it and see how it compares the best sativas we're running atm. It's about to be sativa showdown around here. Next up:
- Old Timers Haze (Ace)
- Tipsy (91 Christmas x BSHW)
- Lower Ulleri Annapurna Nepali Himalaya
- Fine Tasty (Vintage Pakistani x Too Buku)

Smoking some greenhouse Nikah this morning and I can say it's right up there with anything quality wise. Great taste like citrus/mango dipped in kerosene. It's basically a supernatural selection with the omg father. Comparing with the other tk crosses to the males, you can really see what the males bring.

Which current bodhi offering has the most soaring/rush high from the following: Nikah, Pinball Wizard or Dread Bread ? You're a seed popping machine. Simply blown away.

Thanks... we're poppin non-stop around here. I would say Nikah, from those 3. Nikah is pretty awesome and it's the first one people are pointing at when they want to load another bowl. It's strong and it's really, really tasty.

12/20 up so far on the Lower Ulleri beans.

Just started soaking some 21 Candles by Strayfox. Next up to get some new ibls & f1s going:
- Rajasthani Space Probe
- Acapulco Gold
- Upper Chuile Annapurna Region Nepal
- Stumble (Kashmir Azad x Too Buku)

Starting to harvest the first test run of our new selected male, Over Yonder #1 (Popeye). Over Yonder is Vintage Pakistani x BSHW and was selected from over 50 or so males that were picked from various different breeder strains and pollen chucks. Once we sexed the males, we would let them continue to flower and looked for resinous males on this selection. We found very few resinous males, including a male that reversed! Popeye was the best of the bunch and the genetics behind him are some of my personal favorites, being more of a head high guy.

Popeye seems to be more of a nice hybrid between the two parents and doesn't seem to lean more one way or the other. After a stem run, you smell a nice combo of smells from the parents, kind of a light sweetness like a flower and not much funk. Took him 20 days to start dropping pollen (shown below)! Trichomes don't appear until week 4-5.

First beans to test for him will probably be the backcross (Vintage Pakistani x Over Yonder) to see what he brings grown next to mom, (Too Buku #22 x Over Yonder) to see how the Too Buku mixes with him, and the (Triangle Kush x Iraqi x Over Yonder) to see how these react. If all check out then we'll bring him back for more bean making. In about 8 months we'll know what's up.

Action shot:

2Pak cutting here about to be sexed. High hopes for this chuck so far. 2Pak is Vintage Pakistani x '79 Christmas Tree Bud. CTB is originally from Pakistan too, hence 2Pak. Love the tight nodes with vibrant shoots on this plant and and the leaf pattern is pretty cool too. Leaving more towards the CTB in looks but more vibrant and stem rub smells are aren't pine like at all, but more of a sweet & chem smell so far.

this is unreal!. What a unbelievable crash course. Your strain knowledge is going to be unreal.
Can't help but to see a business model here.
Would be fun to visit a place with a menu of strain/seed descriptions and smokeable samples, with stories behind each one. So much history/footwork.. thanks for sharing. Also kuddos on the preservation.

Im only halfway through the thread!. Had to post.

Thanks Don! Having a ton of fun and just lucky to be able to do so. Always been a dream. We do sell clones and beans at the shop in OK. And you're right we're learning a ton about each strain. Happy to share and hope others benefit from it.
