continuation.....

threw three of them in the flower closet to get used to the light

hps light on 18/6 raised up as high as the ceiling allows to introduce them to the light

lower the light every couple days and lollipop them into the hedges i love


just dropped the net to really maximize my space and provide some support when the buds swell up. unhappy plants at the moment. shit will look good tomorrow and fantastic the day after.

flipping to flower as soon as the plants recover from the stress

Oh, I got that, amigo, Tony giving some support to his compadres, and probably meaning every word. Then I got to thinking, after seeing his list of projects for 2017......are these expected to be better than the choices offered now? Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm bought in because some good cats here are saying the GB is not just a good strain, but an elite strain. Good enough to launch a business around and ..."invest 4 years of my life" etc. More strains = more varieties to sell, but is there going to be better, or just variety?

Bodhi, as an example, must have 200 strains by now. Business, sure, but could someone put him on the spot and get him to declare. "In my opinion, _______ is the best one" ? I don't know him, but I'd guess you'd get the typical 'all good, depends on what you're looking for' answer. Am i Right?

I'm just exercising my buzz here [purple animal kush], but with pheno varieties a sure thing within a strain, why the need for most every breeder to have dozens or hundreds of offerings? Is there any reason that floats except business reasons? What does Tony Green smoke, when he's in the mood to smoke the best? Or Bodhi, Sub, Soma [ the dude ], ...or green dog? :mrgreen: As to the long bottom freebies, sure, could be something worthwhile there, but I can't use them. Would swap the whole pack [hypothetically, of course] for 3 good RP/DNA/IHG fems that I don't have covered.[ My go to is goji, and I'm counting on GB to be as worthwhile.:joint: ]

Gorilla Bubble is my baby for sure. Outcrosses have been for several reasons, progeny testing, adding different terps etc.
For instance I found she really combines well with other terpene families. Right now, I'm smoking mainly GB and consuming GB edibles for my back and the sour dubb s2 is so smooth lime I love the taste.
I smoke some GG4 when I want to get my head going.
So mostly you will see me with a few GB outcrosses, may as well work the work. The GB is a high THC line, some of the other terpenes are interesting to me, limonene has some excellent anti inflammatory qualities so the lime GB I am making I have high hopes for to be even better back meds. It's all refinement and testing.

You see a lot of guys say things like a 10-15% strain can get you where you want to go with the synergestic affects of terpenes, I can agree with that but add more THC is not going to fuck anything up, only make it better and with the cbd rush maybe a lot of THC medicinal abilities have been thought to the side, so I'm going to be working with high THC varieties and working with different terpene combinations to achieve different affects. Inbred strains can create finer quality F1's than random poly 1 off chucks. When they are inbred we can have some reasonable expectations about the progeny.

I'd like to work with some other inbred lines but there simply isnt much at market if thats what you are looking for so I had to make my own. So I make my test crosses and inbreed from there what I like.
youll never see me with 200 strains, I am pushing it right now, you can only focus on so much at once if you are really putting in time and effort. The outcrosses help validate everything.

Sorry for the long rambling reply, im off the glue atm lol...

My best one is GB because it is the cause closest to my heart, she is a huge improvement on sour bubble vigor with all of the beautiful pain and anti inflammatory affects that make my life manageable.
Why keep on? I think I can do even better, with work.

Two out of my 3 GB BX2 exhibited a mutation, which appears to be polyploidism, one branch of their first true set. It could have been caused from stress due to being topped. One plants branch appeared to stop growing so I lopped it off. The other split after a few combined sets and seems to remain vigorous. Once I get sexes we will see who will move on.

Anyone else experience this mutation?

The branching and structure is really strong, all the notable things you hear with the Gorilla Glue lineage. My GG S1 is nearly identical and if you put them side to side with the GB you probably couldn't tell the difference.

The only abnormal trait I got from the packs of Bx1 and Bx2 were a few seedlings that just wouldn't grow. I finally trashed those.
The Blueberry Gorilla Bubble Bx1 did not have any issues and other than smaller fan leaves with like 6 inch stems looks like any other indica sativa hybrid during veg.

The smell coming off my blueberry Gorilla Bubble is insane, I can't get enough. 1 is like blueberry pez candy, another is like a flat of smashed over ripe blueberries X 3 and another is like the smell of the forest up here when the blueberries and high brush cranberries are rotting on the bush, kind of musky.

Yeahhh you got em! They all stick to your arm hairs the smells can be quite intoxicating. You just want to sniff em lol.
The resin should be starting up on em too. My jar of mixed phenos ended up smelling like blueberry brandy liquor.
That rotten fruit/dead animal one is a hitter. some of em cure out super sweet, like sugar on the lips.
I liked the rotten fruit dead animal one , it ended up smoking like a kush and also had one that was sharp on the nose and a bit more sour tang to her that was nice, she was the tallest.
Some of the skunky fruity ones are weird, unique smells for sure.

Mutations yeah! Couple of interesting ones, twins seemed relatively common but I popped quite a few looking, I see if I could find a sterile twin and try to test if it was a haploid. some naturally occuring haploids come from twins, sadly the two I tested were intersex so I never got as far to see if they were sterile.
Also some interesting trait where two branches will come from one node, not poly tho, different, polyploid individuals too a little less often than intersex mutation.
Some will top themselves, I had one seed that grew a straight fan leaf and nothing else, no nodes just a single fan leaf after the cotyledons. Its was weird as hell, lol....

@Bakersfield , great description. I need more space to pop these!

@tonygreen , what would you say is the difference in the high with Gorilla Bubble and Blueberry Gorilla Bubble? Dose the blue satilie 2.2 add more body or happy to the solid GB base?

my gorilla bubble bx2 update:

started 4 seeds. all germed no problem

disruption during veg made me destroy two plants before they could be sexed. destroyed the two smallest.

of the remaining two plants one turned out to be male one female

male was destroyed

the final remaining mom has been my favorite since germination

very easy to manipulate into a shrub which is great for my grow. tops everywhere

took 4 clones.

vegged them for a couple weeks after they rooted

to be continued....

There is some phenos with true narco power punch of the GB but the Blue Sat adds this creative/meditative side to things, kind of like fuzzy vision, more colorful colors, feeling happy etc.
The ones that have both are trippy to me.

So I got my seeds today! I grabbed the GB BX2. Here is what came:


What an awesome package! I'm a sucker for stickers and this just made my day. I'm a little confused, however. I only spent $65, yet a got 2 free packs from GLG-
"Bad Dog Genetics Starfighter F2 x Long Bottom Leaf
"Killer Queen Redux Test Mix KQR x Blue Satellite 2.2 and FQR F2s"
I didn't think I qualified for GLG freebies, but I did think I was getting a free pack of Tony's. Well, either way, anyone know anything about the freebies I did get? And maybe why I didn't get Tony freebies (unless I'm mistaken).
So psyched with my first purchase from GLG!
