Small veg update on 6 of the 13 ladies in the plot this year:
Zkittlez x Purple Urkle
Maui Wowie x Purple Urkle #1
Pure OG Kush x Chemdog 91 (left)
Humboldt's Most Wanted (right)
Savage Purple x Girl Scout Cookies
Albert Walker x Bubblegum
Couple of these plants are showing great outdoor potential. When I pop seeds I'm usually searching for Phenotypes/Genotypes that work well for my specific little area. I like a balance between potent medicine and an easy outdoor plant that doesn't fuss much. Some plants just work outdoor and are super easy, and some just lose the fight outdoors from day 1. Over the years: Kush hybrids have seemingly been my easiest/favorite plants to date. Something about a 70/30 or 60/40 dominate Indica hybrid that isn't SUPER purple but just has hints/swaths of purple in her bud. Thinking back over the years my favorite #1 plant in the plot where always kush genetics: Candy Kush, Whitefire OG x Tahoe, Bubba Kush, Black Cherry Soda, Cream, Red Cream, OG Kush, Platinum OG. All of these plants where potent smoke, and easy to grow.
Maui x Urkle #1 is such a thick beast I probably won't have to use a secondary external cage on her. The branches are thick and strong which is a trait I look for. I get a heavy amount of wind and a decent amount of rain the first two weeks of October that make thin/weak branches snap easily. Walker x Bubblegum is showing a really nice formation to her budding sites and structure, she also literally smells like ballpark gum right now when I brush up against her.
The Savage Purple x GSC AND the Humboldt's Most Wanted both have high potential too, at first both ladies where showing some traits of being heavily Indica. Every stem/branch is so fat and she stayed very low to the ground after topping. However, after a few weeks of veg and cleaning of the internal growth I'm starting to see some spaced out nodes and lankier bud sites and both are going to bush out a bit more. Which I'm happy to see because in the past I've noticed I like the golf-ball nugget kush type plants over the long donkey dick cola hash plant type nugs.
For contrast: I have a Do-si-dos X Obama Kush from Founding Fathers that is just staying pure Indica, she isn't getting tall and every branch/stem on her is like a sausage link. The node spacing is so short shes probably going to be bud stacked ontop of bud stacked ontop of bud, and she just doesn't wana bush/spread out after topping. Acting very similar to the Deep Chunks I topped last year (Never top your deep chunks by the way lol just let them christmas tree out)
Zkittlez x Purple Urkle (im calling her Zurkle for now, I got dibs on that name lol). Great plant structure, much like the Savage x GSC she started off super indica and short/bushy but now is starting to get some air into that inner growth. This plant I have high hopes for.

Two more plants to update. The smallest two in the garden this year but for sure not the least of the genetics selected.
Z-1000 #7 (akaTrumps Candy #7 = Zkittlez x T-1000 special selection) x Forbidden Fruit
Triangle Kush x Big Sur Holy Weed
Edit: the white specceling you see at the bottom of some plants/foliage is just water soluble food grade diatomaceous earth that was sprayed on the plants/pots to deter any ant/aphid/thrips.
When I topped the Big Sur x TK at about 18 inches tall, I got the most amazing smell of mixed vibrant fruits, especially when I rubbed the topped shoot in my hand. She's the shortest plant in the plot this year and is showing the slowest growth/vigor but honestly this plant right here might end up being one of my favorites. There is something about the runt plants in every years run that has a real special quality to it. This TK x Sur plant has high potential in my opinion just judging from her lanky node spacing, how much "air" there is within her internal growth, and how she's not super vigorous in her growth but is showing no defects or defienancies, she's just happy being a bit smaller/shorter.
The Z-1000 x Forbidden fruit also had an INTENSE floral smell of berries and fruit when I topped her. Both the TK x Sur and the Z-1000 x FF made me say outloud "I have to clone these two" when I got those smells/profiles from topping. Everything I have heard coming from Trumps Candy or Z-1000 has been really good, some cats on the Founding Fathers forum say all of their Z-1000 x Obama plants where worthy of being keepers. Another plant that doesn't have a deficiency, isn't showing anything wrong with her at all, she just enjoys being a smaller/shorter plant that doesn't bush outwards like everyone else.
It's funny too because I could probably bring 100+ people down to my plot and say "you get to pick one plant to keep at the end of the year" and I'm willing to bet 99% of people would choose the Maui x Urkle #1 or the Pure OG x Chem 91 because of how big/beautiful/vibrant they are right now pushing 6ft. Where as I would be highly tempted to choose the TK x BSHW or the Z-1000 x FF. My instincts tell me those lanky smaller plants will provide some of my favorite smoke. Over the last 12 years of growing I have donned these type of plants "Squatting Kush's" and they always end up being my favorite, time and time again.

Did you ever get to try the Sherb X Lemon Party? I'm deciding what to buy from CSI for my first grow. Lemon Party and Sherb were the first to catch my attention, so I found your comment from last year while searching for what people had to say about them. I'm mostly looking for sativa dominant, limonene based strains. Which Lemon Party crosses should I try first? What other strains might I like the most? The journey begins! To anyone reading, I bless all of your current and future grows with all of my luck. May your yields be forever increasing in size and potency.

So far I have really enjoyed running Lemon Party S1's from CSI. I ran 4 S1 seeds last year in my outdoor setup. 3 leaned Indica, 1 leaned Sativa. All 4 had the craziest lemon terpene profiles i've ever smelled. I got Starburst yellow, Lemonhead Candy, Lemon Tea, Lemon Haze and many other smells. The indica dominate plants reminded me of Bubba Kush in her build/structure/bud formations. Not the strongest cannabis in the world, but very nice for joints/blunts and mellow smoking!
Now when it comes to the Sativa Dominate seed, she's a bit of a different story.
One of the best, if not my favorite sativa leaning plant i've ever put in the ground.
I didn't really start paying attention to her until she was getting covered in frost. In the past decade of growing it has mostly been Indica's or Indica dominate hybrids in my plot. This was an absolute treat of a plant to have in the garden. Although the lanky thin branches made for some issues with weight and snapping branches during light rains, but it was a worthy trade-off for getting to play around and experience such a frosty sativa plant.
She gave me serious haze/thai/hashplant vibes. When you crack the bag it smells like hot lemon tea. When you smoke the concentrates it's like Lemon with a very small hint of haze/hash. Another positive trait of this sativa leaner was not having to worry about budrot or mildew, she had all the breath-ability in the world and had no issues with aphids or ants like a few other plants in the garden did. Something about her natural defense I guess?
Where this selection REALLY shines though is her terp profile and SUPER mellow high. It's easily the most unique Lemon smell i've ever encountered in a plant. And every single person I give flower or rosin that came from this plant they end up saying its their favorite.
This females insane resin production paired with her amazing terp flavors makes me want to isolate and hunt down a selection specifically for creating concentrates. The bubble rosin and dry sift rosin I am creating with her material tastes so damn good.

Thanks for posting this detailed reply!
I think running a pack of Lemon Party S1’s might be what I attempt for my first grow. Looking for that sativa Lemon Party like the one you’re describing.
If it is your first grow, just know that the Lemon Party S1 can be prone to major herms, at least indoors. Not sure if @lassenoutdoor18 experienced that outdoors. Worth it if you know what you are getting into, but for a first grow could be tricky. Not trying to talk you out of it... just a heads up.Thanks for posting this detailed reply!

I had no herm issues with my Lemon Party plants outdoors. (I started the seeds indoors and vegged them for a few weeks before going outdoors with them)
No worries, hoping you find a sativa leaner like mine!Thanks for posting this detailed reply!

Thanks for the warning about Lemon Party S1 being likely to herm compared to others. I’ve seen that mentioned in past threads. Not sure if I’ll try an easier strain first or not. I definitely still want to try it.
I’m still trying to decide what size tent to buy. I have a 5 plant limit, so if I flower 4 plants at a time in a 4x4, I can’t have much going in veg until flowering is done, which might not be ideal. If I want to do a “perpetual” grow where I start new plants vegging while others are flowering, that would have to be with maybe only 2 plants in veg and 2 in flower.
I feel like it’s worth it to always have both veg and flower going, (let me know if you don’t agree). Having two 2x4 tents is probably enough in that case, if I keep 2 in veg and 2 in flower. (Instead of flowering 4 at once and needing a 4x4 tent).
I’m in a small apartment. I could fit a 4x4 in my bedroom and a 2x4 in the closet, but it might be better to have two 2x4’s in my closet. Decisions! I have a closet that is 2’x8’x12’ that could easily fit two 2x4x5 tents. 5 plant limit sucks, but oh well!
