What's the smell/aroma like on the Tree Spirit!? Any Pine, or fuel? ( I hate fuel/diesel).
Description says "like chewing on a pine cone" so I pulled the trigger and bought 2 packs. I'm hoping it's REAL HEAVY on pinene terpene.

1 female is very gassy fuel like a chemdog cross but not OG, similar to some I found in Locktite. The other 2 are slightly sweet pine with an acrid Afghan smell.
They have a bit to go, so things may change a bit.

Thanks for the feedback. Let me know the end result if possible as I will be watching, I have 3 packs of Tree Spirit coming...I may have jumped the gun.
Locktite appears to have lemon/diesel terpenes...which has me worried.
Hopefully, the pinene starts kicking in even more as they fatten up.

Tree Spirits are coming down in about a week.
Here's a close up of some Locktite I dry trimmed yesterday.

Frosty Stuff!
Looking forward to hearing a little more on the Tree Spirit once it's dried and cured.

Looks KILLER !!!!!!
Ive got 2 packs Locktite, and 1 pack Mt Goji in the mail. Will be here Sat. Don't know when they'll be grown, but more photos like that, and it may be sooner, than later.

I really like the Locktite. These and the Locktite's available for the last couple of years are F2's of their original line. Supposedly their are higher terpene expressions in the F2's but less of the hybrid vigor and f1 homogyny.Looks KILLER !!!!!!

I initially found 2 keepers out of the pack, but I lost my favorite.
I'm keeping this one around for breeding.
I've grown a small population of f1 crosses of her and she seems to significantly increase the yield of the donor parent, in the cross, but has not increased the frost levels significantly.
I plan to reverse her and see what she does in a cross as a pollen donor. If I don't care for the results I may try the S1 generation or attempt a back cross.

I'm vegging in a newer, larger space...but it took my RE beans a few extra days to germ than my Peak stuff, and I had to help pop off bean husks. 11 ot of 12 so far...they better all pop because 100% is my standard in direct soil planting.

I also plant direct to soil, or soil-less in my case, and do remember getting about 10 out of 12 beans to pop from the ECC.
I only ended up with 4 females and only 1 looks acceptable, but not ideal. Will have to wait and see, she might turn epic, in the next few weeks.

I'm in this to hunt and work the genetics. It sounds like it's needed.
It's funny because I'm down to 1 not germed yet, and it's ECC.
I promise to do them justice.

Out of 12, 2 Locktite sprouted 1 day in advance.

My buddy got 17 out of 20 of the ECC to come up in Promix BX, and it was also a little cool. Were happy.
Theyre now at around 2.5 weeks, and doing well. Definite structural variations visible. Leaf patterns different. But all growing very vigorously.
Hopefully if its 50/50 M/F, if he gets 8 Females hopefully 1 will be a keeper. I really like to go through at least 50 females.
We went through over 100 Mr Nice Super Sliver Haze F2 females to find 1. Weve been growing it for 4 years now.
Havent found anything to beat I yet. Probably been through 40 strains. Can easily get 22oz in 20 gallons Promix BX and 1 x 1000w Hortilux HPS every 63-70 days.

An ounce dried per Trade Gallon...that's like my standard I want to meet.

Ive found other than the right strain, you need strong light, and great air flow. I train the plants so they grow horizontally, and grow into a hedge. I usually don't grow them straight up. I also shake them, and mess with each individual branch, and growing tip up to a point, and then I just leave them alone. I do not top them ever. Ive found that sets them back 2 weeks. It may be ok if you give them the extra time for the 2 new shoots to grow as large as the original growing tip, and then make up for the lost veg time. That works, but reduces harvests per year.
I also have fans going 24 hours a day. Even when lights out. Temps range from 75-84 at the canopy.and good fresh air flow. That's it.
Actually to get really technical.
I use 3.8 cu/ft bales of Promix BX. Which in reality is 28.4259 gallons of Medium.
I get 2 x 20 gallon totes and a couple 5 gallon buckets left over, which also in reality, is no where near 5 gallons of soil.
But in the 20 gallon containers Its actually closer to 10-11 gallons of actual Medium.
I just use 20 gallons loosely, as I use a 20 gallon tote, and fill it to the max, which really incorrectly inflates the amount of actual Medium.
So I'm getting closer to 2oz per actual gallon of Medium.

I went with #Labyrinthseedco on Instagram for my last Red Eyed purchase. I bought 2 ECC, 1 Cannon Beach Cookies and 1 Dawg Lb. They have a buy 2 from the Emerald Cookies line and get a free pack of Locktite or Tree Spirit.
I wanted both.
They're also on labyrinthseedco.com for the non Instagram people.
