I have six little birds from this pack of Copper Orgi, @Amos Otis - anyone, any tips on identifying the best one early on? Just transplanted, trying to decide run them as is or clone them all out first. I am going to flower them all, but I only want to keep one mama. I might give a couple to a grower I know who will do them justice, and I can grab some pics there. Monitoring stem rub aroma as it develops and watching the structure of vegetation have paid off for me so far, are there some other simple indicators I should look for to find the best quality in this line? Most interested in quality, not a cash cropper so #zfg unless it stretches like hell. I sort of wish I would have kept Blizzard Bush anyway, shit was daaaaank.

Dumb Question....please exscuse me. Eh, where does one find "chucker's paradise" beans?

*Edit....nevermind,went all the way back to page 1 . Just realized these are member's crosses. Still, is there a way to get some beans...is there a website for the chucker's?
Actually they have some Chuckers Paradise Seeds available at Southern Cross Seeds. Message him on IG for a list.

Everything looks incredible! I really need to get on to some of these genetics.

I'm going to harvest most of my chucks tomorrow. They're outside and we have some really cold wet nights coming. And I can see the seeds have develop nicely.

One in particular doesn't look like its formed any seeds. The Apollo 11 F4.
I dusted them all at the same time so I'm not sure what the problem was. Its just the Apollo. It didn't seem to take the pollen from 3 Chems or Guava D.
Is that common?

And my friend has a pack of Honey Sticks for me.
Not sure what those are but I like the name.

I had a OldTime Moonshine female that wanted nothing to do with pollen. I dusted several buds on her with pollen from two different donors and got zilch for seeds. Certain strains seem to lack the vigor needed for reproduction.

That makes a sense. Even from seed, they never had the same vigor as the F1s going beside them.
I dusted both plants pretty good and the pistils receded quickly but it stopped there. I'm also having a difficult time keeping them in veg.
I'd like to keep this one around but it might not be possible.
Thanks for the response Lub. I've been baffled by this all day unable to find a single seed anywhere on either plant.

Some shots of the tangerine power cross testers, citrus twist and sunni d og.

The sunni d og is looking nice and very similar to the mom but has lost any orange terps I was detecting before, now she is more like the mom with a floral kush type smell but still very nice. All of the plants are starting their final swell and resin is starting whiting up.

The citrus twist I'm calling strawberry big bud because she smells like strawberry candy and her cola is fatter than a 20 oz soda bottle for sure and will only get bigger. She is definitely buddha's dream Dom, that was a sleeper strain imo. I had a pheno of buddha's dream that flowered out just like this girl but had a 7up haze smell and taste more like the blue miyagi cut that was this plants mom. This is the closest strawberry smelling plant I've ran so far, just hoping it taste like it smells.20180929_191830.jpg
Here is the lvtk but I think there was too much reflection when I took the picture so it's not the best shot but she's coming down soon and I'll get better shots.

I'm vegging the lvtk clone out until the 4 plants in flower are done in another week or so should be a nice haul off this one.

Here is my guess for keeper of the black dogs, she is a nice vigorous grower, good resin and a great sweet blackberry scent. The others all have berry smells to varying degrees but this girl is full on.

I up potted my GMO x Swayze, Copper
Orange , and Jelly Pie f2. They were in desperate need of space and I finally had time.View attachment 4207703
Tonite was a good night for up potting. I did the same on my 5 goji og and 1 bubba's gift. Had them in cups for way too long, like 3 or 4 weeks now. Just didn't want them growing too fast.

Hope those chucks do you well and you find a few females each.

When I moved I dropped most of my cuts to start the pheno hunt again. I say most because the ones I didn’t fully let go I gave to a few close friends so I still have access. These seeds will probably get a 4 to 5 week veg while my flower space finishes, might flip the veg tent timer for those two weeks and let them do their stretching under the mh instead of the hps. Thanks again @Amos Otis for the generosity! I’ll get to the others as soon as space opens, I’m looking for 3 to 5 staples again, hoping the orgi fills one of the voids. I usually keep good strains around for roughly a year then try to find others. In our small circle one friend holds mothers and never flowers we all just cut him in on harvest for us not to have to keep the mothers in our space

Nice, mine were a few weeks in yogurt containers.
My Copper Orgi chicks were in little 12oz starter pots for almost a month too, now starting to take off in the 1 gallons. I needed them to grow slow at first too, but enough I could cull the boys. Stoked I have six Shirleys, as some would say.

The time has come that I need some advice from you experienced chuckers. Most of my chucks are still a few weeks out from chop, but I accidentally broke a small lower off the other day, so I dried it out. The seeds are large and brown no tiger stripes but, I'm thinking they're mature enough to be viable. My q for you guys is do I dry these seeds for another few weeks or month? I recall Amos I think, having issues germing too soon after his seeds were harvested. Do they actually need to dry more? Or can I put them in containers and into the mini fridge and they'll be good to go in a month or so? Any advice helps, I feel a little noobish on what I'm doing here.
