I am about to attempt a breeding regiment. Been collecting strains for a while and lost my Headband and Jack Widow due to mites a while back. Was my first time with spider mites so I nuked everything a little too hard.Now I want to start banking my own seeds in case disaster strikes.

Made up a colloidal silver solution. Played with it before and got some to turn male. Just didn't use the pollen. Should start spraying my solo cup female clones this week. Hopefully I don't botch this. Caution tells me to do one at a time so I don't cross contaminate any pollen. That way I am sure of what is what. I have a Bubba that has been passed around and cloned over so many times it now grows like an octopus and looks like garbage. Still very potent but hoping to like reset it by seeding.

its cool getting to see what others come up with, with the resent increase in home breeding.
I just finished a run of C99 S1's LOL need seeds hahahhaaaaaaaaaa! First time selfing! I got a few seeds.... LOL I'm running my first cross of Kosher X Girl Scout Poison. I can't wait. I just flipped my big table today so hopefully in another couple weeks I'll toss them in.

C99 crosses all around!!

Hey guys its been a few since I posted in here. Things are going well, just been the same ol stuff mostly. I did finally get a new computer! So a nice photo update really is in the works finally, I know I"ve been saying that for months at this point. But the old computer was unsaveable, so I just got a new desktop.

The New seedlings are vegging out like crazy and looking great so far. I have cloned 2 of them, and about 3 more are ready to be at this point.

I've been spending alot more time working on glass the last couple weeks. I worked out a good weekly rate at the shop now that I have my own torch, and its been allowing me to work as much as I can get down there basically. I've got some tubing coming on order this week I hope, and I"m gonna start practicing making spoons for real :). Its really been a blast!

If i send you a broken one hitter you think you can fix it for me? It is a shroom and i loved it till i bent over oneday and it fell out of my shert pocket. It broke clean sould be easy to fuse back.

  • A new low-pressure, stainless steel lampworking torch designed, the Bravo is a dual-purpose torch, working easily with both soft and borosilicate glass.
  • bethlehem bravo.Had to google that torch.
  • One of these gzz,looks very expensive!

Thats the torch I got, but mine has a different base on it. It wasn't cheap but I got a good deal on a used one,and I'm really hoping it will pay for it self sooner then later :). It sure melts glass nice though, I also just picked up a foot pedal that allows me to control the out set of jets but foot rather then having to use my hands to turn it on and off. Its awesome!

HOnestly Dr. repairs can kinda be a bitch from what I've heard. I havn't tried one yet, but from what I've done I can imagine getting it right would be really tough. I am hoping that I'll have some stuff soon that will be worth sending to a few of my friends though :). I need to get more glass.

Well boys and girls I have some pictures. They are glass pictures but its something :). I went to take pics of the garden the other night and the memory was full of halloween pictures.... so my wife has to do something with those. Anyway here are a few pictures of what I've been working on the last couple weeks. OH and also a picture of the hydro cloner that I dont think I ever posted.










I made another pipe today which turned out pretty nice if I say so myself :). Once I get some more glass I'm gonna start really trying to get the pipes down pat! The pendants have been a blast as well though, and it makes it hard to focus all my time in one direction :confused:. Things are coming along well though I think. Now I just gotta figure out how to sell some of it.
