The Pirates Milk male was one of the best males I've come across. Loud creamy tropical nose on the stem rub, tight ass nodes with strong solid branching.

25th day of flower. Stretch is under control, Third 600Hps is hung, tents out to 6x12 now, it's full and still lot's of training to do on them, leaf tucking, etc.

I've done pretty much everything you should do, if you want to get hermies. I grew them too big, from seeds, not clones. I didn't trim the bottoms that well, I've got like leaks on purpose and it's hot. So far I haven't seen any balls, but this should tell me if I've got any interesex traits with this bunch or not.

The smell is fruity lemon flowery, familiar old school and pungent, frost has been showing for a couple weeks.

We had actual frost here in Northern Michigan last night, for the first day of summer, might get some more tonight. Pure Fucking Michigan.IMG_5345.JPGIMG_5349.JPG

It's ghetto but I'm going to use half gal milk jugs bc they are slender so I can pack um in. Never did it before but should work out ok. I feel you on the variety at least you're not a seed junky yet lol! I think Chitown seedbank has the BX but I just can't pull the trigger on them yet
I used to use pop bottles, the two liter or better yet the three liter ones. It worked good for really packing a bunch of plants in a smaller space, bit of a PITA poking holes in the bottoms of them and cutting the tops off. Lot's of strains grown sea of green in them work fine if you start them right out on 12/12.

They work good for vegging in too, I couldn't tell you how many of them I've cut up to use over the years, a thousand maybe, hundreds of them for sure.

Thought about pop bottles but 1/2 gal milk jugs seem easier to work with. Cuts easy with a serrated knife, use only one drain hole bc its hempy pot & I leave the handle attached so I can grab them. Only pain is spray painting them black. I'm starting from clones & vegging for a month.

That stuff grows everywhere around here ...stumps, logs. It's worthwhile for something? What?
If found early, sulphur shelf/chicken mushrooms are very delicious and a good source of nutrition and fiber, close to what you get from actual chicken in the form of protein, a small amount of fat, and some more complex compounds that seem to help with inflammation, but research seems to show its heavily dependent on the food source/substrate. Wild mushrooms produce more compounds to fend off various natural predators(many drugs can be extracted from various tree polypore mushrooms) picked late it can cause intestinal discomfort due to various potential contaminants or change in composition. There are methods to break down the lignin to make them easier to digest, some dry them in dehydrators like jerky to solve this problem, I cook them thoroughly in butter, if its young the entire shelf can be eaten, larger specimens are only edible on the rim.

If you really want to eat them, there aren't any look alikes that can harm you, so long as you confirm there are NO GILLS, if it has gills instead of a smooth porous surface it's likely a poison jack o lantern. Laetiporus mostly grow on dead or dying oak trees. In fact, another ground dwelling variety/phenotype is almost exactly like lobster when fried in butter, it's called laetiporus Cincinnatus, I'm certain I have some in my yard, but may be too small to tell.

it usually looks like a white/pink rosette, some can weigh over 20lbs!(mostly water). Giant puffball too also make excellent steaks if you can find them before the center turns black.

This is one I found last fall, unfortunately it was past it’s prime but the entire 80’ log was covered. Less than 5 minutes on the hunt from the car. I’ll definitely check this spot earlier this year.View attachment 4929702
80' is a motherlode, you could freeze enough to eat for months.


the timing is really weird, locally these are almost exclusively growing from late july at earliest until around november, maybe the recent cold front triggered the stump to start producing fruiting bodies.

Got four other cuts that aren’t beat to shit. My buddy got them from all star clones. Bubba, ghost og, runtz. And a few unrooted snips of Louis 13. View attachment 4930219
I pretty much have all those as S1's going except the Bubba. Honestly with all the PM & pest talk in the Strainly thread I'd rather stick to seeds for now. Look forward to seeing you run those clones tho!
