AK Bean Brains

A buddy of mine wants to do a little joint project in a few weeks. Ive got 3 1000w HID sitting around, $1000,s worth of seeds, and hes got a big basement. He doesnt know how to grow, nor does he know much about genetics.

Figure Ill use 1 x 1000w for veg, and stretch it to a 5 x 5 area, and then use 2x 1000w HID for flowering. Start seedlings in 32oz Deli Containers/Promix BX. Veg until sexed in 3 gallon pots/Promix BX. 14- 18 females is what Im shooting for. Then repot them 30 gallon Totes. The totes are 32 long, and 18 wide. I figure I can get 6 containers per light per light, 3 plants per container and maybe give them 3-5 days under 2x 1000w HID, and then flower them. Also will probably stagger them, and grow several strains.
I figure Ill start with germinating 70-80 seeds to come up with 36 females.
This is also a pheno hunt, and is one reason Im squeezing so many in. I wont let them get to big, but make it up with numbers, and go through at lest 10 seeds per strain/hopefully 5 females.

Probably start some packs of
AKBB TK/NL5/Hz F2
AKBB SK1 x Beatrix Choice
AKBB PNW Hashplant/Black Domina x Super Skunk
Connoisseur Genetics Nevils OG. The Nevils side is supposed to be his best work. Ill start 15 of them. Has the same Orgnkid ect Male as below.
Connoisseur Genetics Psychosis cut ( 80s NL5/Haze cut ) x Ognkid ChemBX3 x Connoisseur OG, and Male is OG Dominant.
The Green Stash 89 NL5 F2
Authentic Genetics Sk1

Should be able to come up with 36 good females from those. Im sure Ill start to many but its better to have more than you know what to do with vs wishing you would have started several more. Will probably start the TGS NL5, and the AKBB Black Dom/PNWHP/SS first, as they will probably be the smaller plants with less stretch.

Im also waiting for Connoisseur to email me back, and tell me the stretch on the Psychosis/Chem/OG.

I may start the Psychosis, TK/NL5/Hz, and Nevils OG last as they are generally the taller plants. They would be 3 weeks behind the 1st starts.

My other buddy already has 15/15 of the Consumption up. About a week now. Hes gonna start a pack of TK/NL5/Hz F2 next, may have already, and then a pack of Connoisseur SSSDH, which is supposed to be potent, and huge. Guy told me today he was cleaning out his basement, and will I be ready in 2 weeks. Sounds promising. Really interested in several of those strains. Im really interested in the Black Dom x PNWHP x Super Skunk

PHK Bx got the chop today, day 68 from 12/12. Not a strong smell, but when its on your fingers its an intense lime and gas smell. I mainlined the trunk, but didn't do a whole lot of trimming smaller branches. This is one of the branches and its offshoots. Buds are super dense, as soon as I released them from the trellis they wanted to bend right over.

It looks almost identical to the phk I used to get, which was one of my top 3 favorite smokes. Can't wait to try it! This is getting locked away in my super secret head stash :lol:

Does anyone know if “TK/TK NL5 Haze F2” Is an F2 before The backcross or before and after? I know the backcross was made with at least one TK NL5 Haze F2 male.

I am halfway through the pot cast, he’s mentioned that he doesn’t use a single male whenever possible so I wonder if he selected different dominance traits in males for each outcross, backcross or the F3 lines. He also mentions male selection by overall health and structure so maybe he selected for NL, Tk or Haze structured males or the best overall males with different dominant pheno females.

The way it's written says it's tk crossed with an f2.

I've never had that happen.
Looks like there's a tendency to autoflower.
are the others in the pack doing?
On The Pot Cast he says the Vintage Blueberry has a tendency to auto flower if root bound, thats the only one I can recall. I haven't tested it out though, but I've had one in a small pot and it didn't auto flower. I would think it's a stress reaction the way things can hermie if they're root bound. I don't see how Durban would have an semi-autoflowering trait in it but maybe it does? I think some genetics just have that trigger from the stress of being root bound. Seems breeders like to use small pots on males to test how they react to rootbound-ness.

I noticed too their website is a bit off. As I was browsing, when you select a pack it might say "Only 3 in stock" regardless if you switch between say a 5pk or a 10pk. It is confusing. Are they a relatively new site?
I ordered 3 packs of AKBB from them when they had the sale. One of them which said it was in stock, they e-mailed me and said they ran out but still had it in freebies, so they'd give it to me in freebies and let me select a new pack. Website is weird but customer service, shipping time and freebie game was on point. just my experience.
