Hey there boys and girls, thought I'd say hi.
So after harvesting the last round with the first mystery plants in it I've decided a few things.
First I think they may have both been seeds that came from my platinum delight at some point. How they formed I'm not sure, but they both had some extremely similar characteristics, and I remember saving 2-3 seeds over the years that randomly showed up in the buds.
The smelly mystery plant turned out really pretty nice, and I am gonna run it at least a few more times. It has a great bud structure, nice spear shaped colas, with rock hard nugs. The smell and flavor are decent, I havn't really figured it out yet. Neither is as strong or stand out as the platinum, but its worth giving another go I think.
The other mystery plant has really similar bud structure and growth patterns to the platinum, and it seems to finish really fast, like 7ish weeks. However it has almost zero smell or flavor, and so it has been culled.
The new delicious seeds "deconocido kush" clone is in flower now. Its gonna be a small plant, I didn't give it any veg time. I wanted to see how it turned out as fast as possible though so I know if I should add it to the collection. The mother plant is ready to clone again so I'm gonna cut some, and hope for the best from the flowering plant.
The spring has brought the RH and temps back to my grow that I needed and things are looking great again.

I've had some good and some bad playing with mystery genes over the years. I learned my lesson early and don't take to many clones or work it into my rotation until I know for sure its decent. I did a batch many years ago that ended up with a whole try of blah plants.
I'm excited to see what this deconocido kush ends up like, seems from the description like it will be sort of a mystery genetic lol.

I think for me it's the excitement of, "what am I gonna see here" ya know? I just popped 11 beans the other day and I'm excited to see what comes from them, and I know what the are, lol. Haven't been popping beans for a while, I miss the hunt of it.

I'm kinda stoked on these, like a little kid, lol. I popped 8 mac x aww (alien apple warp), 1 mandarin cookies s1, 1 lucky charms s1, and 1 cookies n chem x double dawg biscuits. The ddb is a cross I just made to look for a male in. Credit to genuity for naming it. The lineage goes stardawg x cookies n cream x purple stardawg. The rest of those beans aren't ready yet. This one popped out of a bud and I said screw it. Check out dankonomics purple stardarwg male, his thread here or ig. I got some pollen from that male, not much but I'm making it stretch to multiple moms. Searching those beans for plants to reverse and males. I'm having fun man,Yeah its been a minute since I have ran new genetics, its time to mix things up again
. Lol

Sounds like some pollen chucking good times! hehe I wanna do some more of that. I was pretty happy with my first attempt
. I'm not holding my breath, but I got told by an old friend that he might have some original Brothers Grimm Cinderella 99 seeds for me . It would be awesome to get to run that after all these years.

I got my "Sin-D Snacks" cross in the hands of several other growers, and breeders at this point. I'm really hoping one of them has some success finding the pheno I've been growing the last 4 years. It would make an awesome addition to any line up.
Wink wink nudge nudge to those of you that have my beans.........

Speaking of face melting . I got to try Penis Envy mushrooms finally after all these years. A friend of mine gifted me a bag a few weeks back. I finally ate some yesterday, only about 1.5-2g. It was a great afternoon/evening. The magnitude of the effects was about just about what I expected from the dosage, but they lasted many hours longer then I expected. I ate them at about 4 in the afternoon, and was still wide awake with minor visual distortion at 4am. Its been some years since I ate many mushrooms, but I don't remember them having 12ish hour effects. Maybe its just been that long and I can't recall properly. Either way great experience, and I'm looking forward to eating a larger dose maybe next week with my wife.

Oh yeah, I harvested the second batch of the smelly mystery plant. This round is even nicer then the first. The clones had better root systems and it showed in the buds. They are definitely up there as some of the densest buds I've grown. They have a nice purple tint to them, and are just covered with frost. I'm gonna get some mag sulfate and see if adding a little will boost the terps a little more, and I'm hoping it might help the platinum delight too. I still havn't fully figured out why its so picky. I've tried a few things over the years to keep it happy, and its always a bit finicky, but just so dank I have to keep it . Its been a while since I've used any mag boosters, so maybe that will smooth her back out.

I run multiple strains all at different ages all in the same tray. I try to keep everyone happy at once, but its tough to always hit that balance.

Lol i know that struggle. Can't please seem all when they're sharing the same system.

Yeah that is one thing I had to accept years ago with this style of growing I do. I really eventually would like to get 4 separate trays set up so I can tailor the nutrient mixes a little better to the stage of growth or to specific strains. I don't really have the room for that yet though.
I've been considering building a little S.I.P. planter to try out. I'd like to maybe pic up a QB288 and stick the SIP in the corner I do have free under the LED. Honestly right now its all just ideas. I just found out that the city is putting in new water lines, and my land lord is deciding if they want to replace the main line into our house at the same time. If they decide to I have to completely remove EVERYTHING. It will be the first total tare down, and I don't know if I'll be setting things back up or not at this house. We have been looking for new places, and even considering moving cities or states if we can find a place and jobs. I might just try to crop out once more here with everything I have and then make a move.
Its frustrating just getting the garden looking nice again, and having this happen. Its always something it seems like.
If I find an affordable place I could blow glass form home, I would save money on studio rent which would be awesome. That's the first thing we are looking for now.
So if any of you guys know of any jobs and/or affordable places to live let me know. I'm a hard worker when I've got a job to do, just bad at manifesting opportunity.
