I got a freebie pack of those.. sounds promising. I'm still deciding on the Dope Beard or the High Flyer first.. have you tried either?

This one was also one of the freebie packs. I've never completely grown out anything at all from AK, yet. Working on it lol...

According to AK the Dope Beard is the strongest Durban in flower form he has... Said it was very potent. But he said the concentrates from the durban thai high flyer were the best, compared to the Dope Beard. So I guess it really depends on if your a flower guy, or a concentrates guy... I am strictly flower myself!

I'm strictly flower too. I'll wait to see how yours come out, I have a backlog of his stuff to run.. next one up is romulan x grape pie.
I just took down my black dom x tknl5haze yesterday at day 70. I took sample at day 64 and she is potent.

Update on my NL1 x Big Skunk/NL1.

Of the three plants in the outside garden space, I have 1 male, 1 female and one TBD (was started a few weeks later).

The two older ones (~5 weeks old) have been topped and are looking great. Solid branching, nice spacing, nice smells. Will probably gather some pollen from the male.

It is exciting when the plants start to show sex, but nerve-wracking as well. Being an uotdoor only grower who wantes to try different strains, I always wonder if 3 or 4 of a variety is going to get me what I'm hoping for. This approach doesn't really allow for much of a 'pheno hunt', but so be it.

If anyone has any Dope Beard Durban beans, I would pop those soon as you can! As far as veg goes, it's one of the most impressive so far... you can tell its gonna have baseball bat buds erecting all over it! The nodes are stacked and full up the entire branch! The Dope Beard was only topped once and it has like 12 plus long ass arms shooting out all over the place... You can tell she is ready for flower as I have my plants on 24 hour veg and it's starting to bud already... The stem rubs smell potent, dank and sweet! I'll try and get some pics up soon... I am finally flipping tonight :bigjoint:

I actually just dropped 3 of these a couple days ago. Stoked to hear how they're growing for you! I've got 4 of his Romulan BX4s going too.

Sorry, babies from Antenna seeds over at Great Lakes Genetics. No promotion, haven't grown any of his beans, but sounds pretty interesting.
Supposedly potent hazes. We shall see

Morning fellas! Just got up and got my coffee in! Had to get up before daylight, have plants that need to be taken outdoors and to a guerilla plot, so I had to beat the sunlight this morning... Will be heading out soon and just thought I'd stop by and show the girls as they are getting flipped (FINALLY) this morning! Also including pics of my 5 Beatrix Choice in the white styrofoam cups... They smell absolutely amazing, have not had a true sativa stem rub this (classic) smelling in a long ass time! Fruity, hazy and something else that I can't put my finger on that just screams out nothing else but mind altering sativa!


The girls....

And the Beatrix....

Also, I sent Strayfox some William's Wonder beans a few days ago, all while I had no idea he already had a care package heading my way! This made my day!!! Came in from a stressful day at the farm and my wife handed me over the package, blew my mind what was inside... Supposed to be some RKS phenos in that Afghani Black Skunk! I tried to grab a pack a few days ago when they were released and they sold out before I even got a damn chance to put them in my cart and checkout.... But ole Stray came thru and changed that for me... And to beat that, there were TWO packs in there! And the rest of the packs he included are also FIRE! He is a good man....

Flowering has began!!! Damn I'm super excited!!! :blsmoke: :weed:


Got my drip lines setup and everything in order... Been dying for this day to come, and to be honest I should have already flipped last month! That is how far behind I am, well add a touch of (laziness) to that also hahaha....

I am very concerned about stretch. AKBB recommended that I run the first 12-14 days on 10 on 14 off, to initiate flowering faster... said that it works and after that you set it in 12/12. He said that back in the 80s this is the cycle that they would run in the trailer parks up in Alaska, due to the short head space of the old mobile homes... So we shall see.

I am also using a couple products that will help, one contains triacontanol and the other a kelp extract which does help stacks the nodes closer... As bad as I hated to, I sprayed them right before lights off with Florel also (Ethephon which converts to Ethylene)... It is absolutely safe, the only precautions to take with this is during application, it can irritate the skin according to the research, although I have never had any issues whatsoever and I do not wear protective gear when I spray. Anyway, it immediately converts to Ethylene gas and once it evaporatesit's gone, there is no residues, it is not systemic either. It's the safest PGR on the market and is the only PGR approved that I am aware of for use on food crops...

I have only ever used it in case I have stress during the grow or growing a hermie known strain. It definitely has always worked for me. But supposedly it can also reduce stretch by at least a quarter and up to half which is a lot! It's supposed to initiate flowering much much faster also, basically overnight from what I understand. The info out there of its use for this reason is very limited, so this will be a nice experiment.

We shall see....

What is the purpose of Florel? I did a quick search and the article I read said it was to keep unwanted fruit from developing on ornamentals. I didn't read too deep because using it on cannabis I'm sure serves a different purpose.

Nice update--cool to see the Beatrix Choice doing well. Someday I gotta get an indoor grow space going. Although being limited to outside does help me keep the obsession in check I suppose--I'm sure my wife is happy with that.

I read your journal thread awhile ago but haven't recently...Do I remember seeing that you have Bodhi's Garfunkle in there too? (Dumpster x 88g13hp). I've got a very healthy female in my garden, a nice squat pheno with tight node spacing and really nice stem rub. Also saved a male cutting to pollinate with too.

Side note--I was reading up on breeding terminology and am wondering if AKBB's NL1 x BSkunk/NL1 I've got going is technically a NL1 'bx' with BSkunk as the outcross? (Assuming the NL1 used in both steps was the same mother, right?) Doesn't really matter, just trying to keep learnin'.

Have a great day y'all.

Wow, look what showed up in the mail today. So now, I can wonder what I have. I found some packs of TK NL#5 HAZE f2 on Golden Ticket that I remember AKBB saying as the one with most varying phenos so I grabbed it as I never managed to get them at JBC. This came today and I am just as excited for the freebies. I am going to assume that they are the f2s20200615_201033.jpg

Everything looking good so far 3 days into flower. Seen the first sign of stretch this morning before nap time...

Why can't I get over the fact that I should have switched to coco years ago? I guess when you depend on your hobby, your love and passion to help you make it thru life, you'll wish that you would have been doing what brings out the best all along.... Not tooting my own horn, don't want to come off that way as I am not that type of person. But I can say this, this will absolutely be the best yield and possibly even crop, that I have ever grown indoors in my entire life. I'm ready for this!

Hello, I’m here to report on my tk x g13. It is very vigorous and gets color at the end. It is very narcotic nighttime smoke. Taste is hashy and smell is sweet and creamy almost like vanilla pudding.

I've been looking for that taste for years now. I've very old school, and the best weed I've had always tasted like hash. I talked to AKBB about that flavor and he knew exactly what I meant and said none of his stuff really had that old school hash flavor. He'd like to have that himself. Maybe he found it in the G13 cross. I guess I'll have to give that a try.
