Nice Job. You definitely have some pink hues in there. I've seen the best representations of it outdoors. I've read some say its an Afghani trait. This is the nicest pic of it ive ever found before. I'd live to see how yours would do outdoors. Great stuff.

I’m definitely doing that pheno outdoors next year. I wish I had popped that pack and found that one sooner. The only plant I’ve ever personally gotten pink pistils on was an aurora indica from nirvana that I did outside last year, so that lends some credibility to the afghan theory.

Hey man that is what our Romulan looked like 20 yrs ago. Or what I was told was Rom. Never seen that kinda pink before. My stepfather has a nice pic of a mutated bud that has a huuuuge amount of hairs just like that. I gotta se if he can find it

I’ve always wanted a Romulan cut, but mostly because I’m a big Trek fan. I’d love some old school Federation gear. Back in the day my friend had this cut of one called mikado that was amazing.

You should want a cut of Romulon because of its earth shattering potency. Hands down is one of the few old school cuts that holds its own to this day with top elite cuts going around. I know some peeps that have it and still get 3200+ per pound, thats on same price level here as GMO, Pink Kush, kush mints and other high end bag appeal stuff. Awesome funky taste to it.

I also think you can still find the Mikado, or even a Mikado bx.

I think hazeman has some mikado or crosses of it.

Mikado Bx available from alternative seeds 32 bucks for 10 regs is pretty cheap too.

I'm currently growing Lemon Tree Punch, Ice Cream Punch, and Doc Holiday (my hero cut). I will post pics soon of the grow at about 5 weeks into flower. This is the fullest my little 2x3x5.5 cabinet has ever been and the plants all look great, but it appears my Doc will DESTROY the others in yield (guessing at least 3:1 better yield, but we will see...). The tallest colas were all folded over to keep them off the quantum boards, but other colas have grown up to within about 4" of the boards. I expect serious light bleaching of the top buds.

These new strains are going to have to be spectacular to stay in my regular rotation vs the old Stardog classics. If these newbies don't impress, Cake n Chem and Dreamcatcher will be next up. Along with my Doc superstar, of course.

p.s., I am still trying to pull a pound out of my 2x3 cabinet. Actually, it is only 33" x 21" inside dimensions, IIRC. The closest I have gotten is just under 12 oz. My grams per watt isn't that amazing, but I think it will be impressive to yield a pound on 285 watts in less than 6 square feet. The plants this grow are a good foot taller than my previous best yield, so maybe "about a pound".

Have any of you soil growers noticed it’s impossible to buy perlite and vermiculite right now? I called 10 different places in town today and nobody has any. I had to buy a bag of sta-green organic potting soil from Lowe’s today. Should be fine for what I have in veg but I’ve got a chem pie that will need to be flowered before too long and I really want to make up some of my own soil before then. Otherwise I’m just gonna have to do a short, half assed composting of the soil the rum runner is in.

I’ve been looking at alternatives like pumice and lava rock for perlite, but I’m having a hard time coming up with an alternative for vermiculite. The vermiculite shortage isn’t that terrible for us, but it’s gotta be devastating for my mushroom growing fam.

The cheap coco blocks are gone from the stores here, the expensive ones remain.

Your fun friends will have to resort to straight expensive coco.

NAPA number 8822 oildry is expanded diatomaceous earth and both hold s some water and nutrients but also adds drainage.

Shit, I was afraid of that.
Perlite is made in the US so it shouldn't be as hard to get as peat moss (from Canada).

They told me months ago they'd come out with "mostly sativa" fem strains but havent seen anything even reg. Tried 3 of their sativas and they kick ass CH, DC, OBS but too impatient to wait 2 extra weeks amd double space n shit.

Welcome to Covid shortages. Its the same deal up here. It's extremely hard to find perlite and that stuff. Another alternative could be rice hulls. Alot of organic peeps use that along with perlite for drainage.

Growers House has Perlite and Vermiculite

GPS has a 50% off sale today....this is like 3-4 sales in a row. Makes me feel kinda worried cause this isnt normal to have sooo many sales so often. What's the real purpose? Get the product out because of what?? 2 weeks ago i would have dropped 250 and I did. Now I'm very hesitant to buy anymore. There is an underlying issue here that we prob don't know cause this seems suspicious.

When sales are slow, sales pop up. I'd like to know whats up with the fems. When they first hit the site there were so many different cultivators and s1's and other fire crosses. Now its purple punch everything. I got 6 motor punch in veg that I'm hoping to find something decent. Would love to see more variety coming out with the fems. I've given up hope that a new male will ever be used in the regs.

Man sales must be terrible cause this is the 2nd 50% off in the same month lol. I love purple punch so I kinda liked those crosses but i have no idea about stardawg. I'll give it a shot for $15-40 a pack tho

I always used horse manure for growing shrooms. Even cheap coco costs a lot more than horse manure.

Just hit up GPS’s July Black Friday sale. Chem daiquiri and tombstone are coming my way soon.
