Thanks cowboy. Too bad those genetics are all gone. The quality of all the strains that I had going really diminished after growing them all for those years. I would always take my cuttings from the last plant of each particular group to go into flower which was always the smallest plant hence the reason for being last going into flower. With so many different strains going constantly that practice helped keep my numbers down a bit but ultimately led to their demise.
I did one breeding project a few years ago with a male from one of Trynas' strains, ran that for a while, don't know why I got rid of it it was really nice

A trick with that, to bring back a clone that has diminished you can veg it out long and take the apical for the propagation without flowering it. Do that a couple times and it rejuvenates the genetic expression. Basically you want the main top to be a continuous line without flowering, that will keep it from diminishing. It’s usually harder to root the main stalk apical meristem but that’s where the main genetic information is pooled.

It sucks to miss plants, I’m not sure if I’ll ever fully “get over it” for some of the lost cuts. I’m still chasing that og chem I had years ago. I got a lock on the motorbreath clone that was used in the cross and I now have the chem d clone instead of the chem d bx I used to have. So I can kinda smoke around those tastes as close as possible.

Smoking some 707 headband, puff, puff, pass....

That would have been good to know a couple of years ago man, I would have liked to have brought some of those strains back. Good info thanks!

Just found a jar of seeds that I had forgotten about and their only a couple of years old....Gracies Delight x Donkey Dong Kush. Pretty happy about that. GD is Grape Apollo x Blue Dream. Looks like I'll have to wait to work with them though my new seeds should be here tomorrow or Monday. Winter breeding project perhaps? Maybe I can find a GA pheno that would be very cool. And the Blue Dream was the real deal from some second generation grower in Cali. I don't remember his name but I'm sure its in my journal Ill look for it sometime

Hey Ambzy how's it going. Things sound pretty crazy in your world good luck with everything. Your Blue Dream is coming along great I sneak a peak every now and then. Yeah Black Rose was a pretty plant for sure but lacked potency and I just used it in a couple of breeding projects to add color. Honestly I couldn't tell you about a seed bank though I've been out of the loop for a while. I use MSNL, they've been around for over 20 yrs and I haven't had any complaints. Who did you get your Blue Dream from?

Hi Highlander, doing well , thanks! my world is always a bit crazy. I am just glad i still have a job and plenty of business. I am really trying to step up my game after being so super stressed with dealing with the new pandemic. But everyday I am getting more confident and better prepared with how to handle each new toxic situation.
That is interesting that you used the same seed bank i ended up going with for my NL and Blue Dream, MSNL.
The first mailing i got from them all my seeds were crushed. THe next mailing they were all good and that is what i am growing now. They were fems from MSNL. What did you buy from them?
I need to start thinking about what i want to grow next . I still have 2 fem blue dreams and like 9 Fem Northern Lights.

Much respect for what you do Doc it takes a special kind of person to do what you do. I raise my bowl to ya. Nice to have a choice of girls too to throw in for the next round. bongsmilie

You must have been devastated to receive a pac of crushed seeds, I know I would have been. I got my first few strains from them way back when......... White Widow ( I think everyone grows WW their first time lol ), Blueberry and Ice. I did a BB and Ice smoke report here on RIU. Just ordered a pac of feminized Blueberry seeds that should be here this week and got some freebies with them 3 fem OG Kush seeds and 5 reg White Widow. Really stoked to grow them out and do some pheno hunting. All I have now is a Nitro Lemon Haze vegging and she's going out in the back yard in a few weeks. Also a male afghani who just showed and sex. I turned that one into a house plant, maybe I'll save some pollen for a future breeding project. Lot's of trics and stinky already. I hate using an unknown male for a breeder but it is what it is. :leaf:

The Blueberry and OG Kush sounds like a very solid choice. I was thinking about getting some fem OG Kush. I hope yours don’t come crushed. I was shocked that a company who has been in business for over 20 years would send seeds in a birthday card with no protection from being crushed ! Pathetic . They were quick to send replacements and sent them in a wallet and carefully packaged so they wouldn’t get crushed .
it sounds like your headed in a really good direction with your strain choices and I am looking forward to seeing some wicked new combos from you. Do you still have the Anne Frank closet to grow in? I think it was called that.

@hc sucks about the seeds. I had the same issue. I think they got too hot for an extended bit when the ac broke. Pretty old at this point anyway. Hadn't been growing as I would travel once or twice a year for extended time. With the virus that may not happen for a bit so thinking of giving it a another shot.

I was sad to hear about T when I got the news. I was told complications of sickle cell, either way, such a loss.

Yes you're right man such a loss. I remember shipping T a DOG clone by fed ex back in the good ole days lol. Bet it would be fun for you to get a little grow going again. Think you'll be in one place for the next 4 or 5 months?

Hey good memory I do still have the Anne Frank closet going! As a matter of fact that's all I have going and its a pretty small area. It's the closet in the master bedroom. It's all stealthed out, when I built it I had to hide it from the kids when they would come over. I started going out with a girl right after I built the closet and she would sleep over a lot and I grew a batch of WW from veg thru flower right under her nose without her knowing it lol.

Not sure how much breeding i'll be able to do Ambzy, with such a small area it's going to take a while to try and find a gem or two but you know me I'm sure that I won't be able to resist :weed:

Sadly with this whole global issue and my health issues I may not be going anywhere. Got diagnosed with narcolepsy and so far meds aren't helping.

I've been thinking about it. Need to see what I can put together for a cab since my old led lamp half died.

I tried some pepper plants. I used 4 of the little leds and may have been too much, but last year 2 seemed too little

Man, I really wanted to break away and come see you HC! Next time without fail, we recently moved my mother-in-law back up there also so we’ll be making more trips out there. My wife loves it up in New England and likes road trips. Hell I won’t even have to drive, taxi service lol she already wants to do it. My brother in law was looking pretty bad but like holding on to see his siblings, they are a big close family and it was nice to see them really appreciate the life part. 47 years old, he’ll be gone in the week.
Im quarantined for 2 weeks. That’s the other issue right!? Everything’s really lucked down up there. People are really freaked out too. We had a rental car with New York plates, my other brother in law said that could get us in trouble with law and locals. Strange times we live in.

Hey man no worries. Lol I got so excited that we might meet up that I totally spaced out the social distancing thing we are doing these days. We're not even seeing the kids right now. After I told my gf you wouldn't be coming over she said yeah I was kind of surprised that you were going to hang out with him when we are not seeing the kids. My daughter is due in a month and my son has a boy who is almost a year old. I'm taking care of my elderly parents too so being real careful. There's always next time brother when this shit is over!

A bit overgrown at the moment, almost 3 weeks into flower. Going to be a nice haul of ecsd and some garlic mushroom onion cookies. Right behind will be cluster funk, meat madness, lemon cake, creme brûlée, og 18 and I probably need to run my chem d by then. They will all be bushes by then! Ya I’m a bit overwhelmed. But, ma jars been empty and that’s about to change. I’m tired of dispensary grass, ours suck. I was so ready to get some variety in my garden I may have gotten carried away. Here’s the ecsd then the gmo, 18 days, about the girth of my thumb. How are your girls coming along.?
