Ya I though my that after I said it? My bad.
so what would you call it BX4F1?

Unless you did some previous working of the line, they would be phk f2's

And you doing open pollination would make them PHK open F2's

i guess if you reeeeeeally want to nit pick it, PHK BX F2 OP to differentiate it from a "pure" PHK line.

But unless someone asks specifically the background, f2/op is simple and reasonably conveys what it is.

Ok thanks fellas.

No problem, just getting the story straight in case you find the next OGK, you never know

A little update on my Vintage Blueberry and Afghan 1 X Black Afghan grow.....

45 days since I dropped seeds (two were dropped a week later). I posted on December 22 which was shortly after I had moved them from cups to initial pot (1.5 gallon). I should've just went straight into the 7 gallon fabric pots. I know VBB needs room for roots so they are now (mostly) happy with their newfound room. A little stress around transplant time for the ones that grew fastest. Barely any training, did some LST on the bigger ones for a few days and the branches shot right up. I'm going to let them settle in to their new pots and maybe clean off some of the lower branches in a week or two. Still planning to see if I can veg them for 90 days, take some clones, and let 'em rip into flower.

Afghan 1 x Black Afghan is growing similar to the Deep Chunks and Hash Plants I've grown in the past, not surprising as that was what I was going for! Back right got a little stressed at transplant but is recovering nicely.



The VBB on the back left is an absolute beast of a plant. I think I'm seeing some pistils, but not quite ready to call it a she. The one next to her is a week younger and will have the benefit of not having the extra week in the 1 gallon so no stress (unlike the one in the front):

D'oh! Five males and one female. Not complaining, I know how probabilities work. Would've liked at least one Afghani female. As it is, I've got a female VBB. Debating whether to throw a fem seed or two down to fill out my tent or just clone the VBB. Or put down some more Afghani to try and get a female.

Super stand up dude! Had a hick-up and Dave came through like the Champ he is! Highly recommended!

Prelim smoke report on the Cornbread Mafia Mexican Death Sativa. I took 2 plants to day F82 in organic soil, Earth boxes, under a single HLG 350R. One was tree-like with poor yield that matured earlier, and is the better smoke; the other was stout and bushy, but took too long to mature. Very low terps, mild flavor, but a great daytime get-shit-done smoke with zero racy vibes. I'm not too dissapointed, as that was the high I was looking for, just not the taste. Very bland on flavor. Never even got real stinky. Would probably not grow again. Looking hard at Bohdi's Purple Lemon Thai for the next try, in the meantime I started a Useful BOO S1 made by a RIU dude who was kind enought to share. A friend has already done a run, and it was spectacular, so I'm gonna try it, too.

Someone on another forum made a post claiming Dave has cancer, I can't confirm that it's true, as I would feel rude asking someone I have made a couple orders with if they have cancer, but I will share the screen cap none the less.

AKBB and Dutch passion Ch.thai.
A little male heavy.
12 boys and 6 girls. So far.
Boys have been put in their own tent. They are getting close to dropping. They are in organic. So be nice. I’m pretty new to organics indoor.
Pots too small but I want to keep the plants small because of the numbers. Will be cloning soon. Lots of verigation.

First time running any genes from AKBB. Trying Hawaiian Cat Piss.

I plan to keep plants small, blending pollen from any/all males to pollenate a cola from each female.

These will get uppotted to 2L pots in another couple weeks, then segregated by gender. Males will go into 5G pots for flowering, females into 15G SIPS.

I like the uniformity I'm seeing so far. Taking any helpful hints!

Aw shit. Hope the treatment works out. Life is short as it is.

If true I feel like I'd like to send a kind word his way but yeah it does kinda feel like it's bad form from a privacy standpoint.

I’ve been thinking about this for a couple weeks now too. I’d like to send a message along the lines of ”I heard through the community that you were going through a bit of a rough patch. As a former customer and someone who appreciates the work that you do, I’d like to send some well wishes, good vibes, and send a little $upport your way if it would be helpful. Are you still selling seeds at this time”? Some people might like the distraction and know that people are thinking about them. Others might say “fuck off and leave me alone”. I was hoping to budget a few hundred bucks to send his way and then stick the beans in the freezer.

He is certainly still accepting orders.

Here's a bit of a possitive update from another user...

He's a real genuine dude. Got to shoot the shit with him a couple of times. Doubt he'd tell you to fuck off. Lol. I'm going to be getting a few extra pack to help the cause.

I love his chicken and fishing pics on IG

Just put these into flower today. 907 bluegenes, trailer park blueberry, and gaseous cakes X trailer park blueberry. I think the tpbb was only given out as testers. I found some really nice plants in all of it. I found some really good stuff in the 907 bluegenes. Good for s.o.g. growing. Very little stretch overall. All of these are around 10 inches tall and have between 7 and 10 nodes. Good for my tiny area

Here's a few more from my last crop.
