Day 52 - part two
  • And lastly we have the Double Grape x Toof Decay...
    1687719350953 _small.jpg


    She is starting to fill out nicely and doesn't seem to be quitting with making them pistils anytime soon...
    1687719350948 _small.jpg


    She's still got a long way's to go, but it's starting to look very frosty none the less...

  • Hey growers and wannabreeders :toke:

    I have SEEEDS!!! YES!! Whoohooo :woohoo1::woohoo::woohoo1:
    1688046395652 _small.jpg


    Ok ok ✋They are still in development, but you can clearly seed the seedpods sitting in there...
    1688046395640 _small.jpg


    Still, I'm so stoked to see these...Last year I never bothered to see if I could find them as I thought they would be deep inside the calyx hiding. Never to old to be thought something. Thanks @Antonio_DutchPassion for teaching me something new :cheers:
    1688046395634 _small.jpg


    1688046395631 _small.jpg


    1688046395625 _small.jpg


    Oh man, this Double Grape x Toof Decay if feckin' frosty!!! And hopefully full with seeds. I can't spot any, but they should be there 🤞
    1688046395621 _small.jpg



    Ok, enough baby mama's...Now it's time for the full grown ladies. These will be my smoke stash in a month or so...
    The Double Grape x Toof Decay is really doing it @Rasterman :woohoo1:
    1688046395551 _small.jpg


    Amazing color and structure...Her little sister is a bit frostier though, so I'm glad I've used her to procreate.
    1688046395541 _small.jpg


    Even them lowers look ever so nice!!
    1688046395536 _small.jpg


    Next up we have the Mephisto's Wedding x Coal Miner's Daughter...Well this lady is truly finishing up you guys. An amazing quick cultivar!!
    Thanks for sharing bro!!!
    1688046395531 _small.jpg


    The pistils are starting to yellow up, which means they will shrivel up any day now.
    1688046395525 _small.jpg


    A hairy mf'r isn't she...:haha:
    1688046395519 _small.jpg


    And to end today's post...The twins...Mephisto's Wedding. The large and the small...
    1688046395514 _small.jpg


    She has an amazing amount of frost. No picture I've taken does this lady justice. IRL she's so much prettier...

  • I don't do half work you guys and fifteen pictures in one post is clearly to little :haha:


    Even the lowest buds look ever so tight and frosty...You might get me to become a mephhead after all @stan_mephisto :pass:
    1688046395504 _small.jpg


    Last picture you guys. Hope you've enjoyed today's post :thanks:

    Day 57
  • Hey Friends,


    Like you might have read in the previous posts, I'm finding the Mephisto's Wedding x Coal Miner's Daughter is nearing it's end...Her pistils are starting to shrivel and the calyx's are swelling up like little balloons...
    So today I decided to have a look with the USB scope...Will you join me? 🫵

    So let's begin with the above mention cross MW x CMD @ Day 57.
    1688237007758 _small.jpg


    Still way to much clear for me to cut her down...
    1688237007748 _small.jpg


    Guess these buds still have some maturing to do... 👌
    1688237007740 _small.jpg


    Lovely huh :hump:
    1688237007732 _small.jpg


    She still has three weeks until I leave, so by then she'll be ready. What do you guys think?
    1688237007724 _small.jpg


    While I was at it I also took a look at the Mephisto's Wedding and have a look what I found on the branch I pollinated :woohoo1:
    1688237007708 _small.jpg


    And another one...
    1688237007697 _small.jpg


    She also has still has loads of clear, but like her sister...She still has three weeks...She'll get there as well :thumbsup:
    1688237007688 _small.jpg


    She is covered with trichomes on all sides though..A extraction monster, if I must guess...
    1688237007677 _small.jpg


    In some parts it's even looking like there's no more room...How the plant prevent these micro collisions from exposing the resin inside...:shrug:
    1688237007660 _small.jpg


    Some parts of this lady are surely getting close...Some white is turning yellowish...
    1688237007651 _small.jpg


    And last but not least...The Double Grape x Toof Decay.
    1688237007636 _small.jpg


    She has the most amount of white trichomes, while her flowers are looking far from ready
    1688237007626 _small.jpg


    Nice fresh pistils everywhere you look and an amazing spread of trichomes everywhere you look....
    1688237007614 _small.jpg

  • Ya gotta love that Meph genetics! After my first run, I've always had at least one Meph girl!:headbang:
    This is my second one. First was Port & Stilton and boy-o-boy, that was some good smoke, shame it was gone so fast :coffee2::haha:


    I will always have room for a mephisto strain . Fantastic selection of you are looking for unique phenotypes.
    There are some mighty sparkly girls in this lot, aren't there. The only one I'm the least interested in is the hind MW twin. She's starting to put out a mass of flowers, but I feel it she will only take to long. When we come back from holiday, we have a couple of garden parties and I would like all canna ladies to be out of there by then. Mum's the word, right ;)

    For today I have some more close-up's for ya'll... :shooty:
    1688404845394 _small.jpg


    Where's Waldo? :rofl:
    1688404845389 _small.jpg


    These are some nice and frosty buds, filled with seeds...
    1688404845382 _small.jpg


    Almost looks like a underwater photo... 🤿
    1688404845378 _small.jpg


    Bad angle on the first picture of this Double Grape x Toof Decay for seed watching, but oh so beautifull bud.... 🙌 "The trichomes...the trichomes, why won't anyone think of the trichomes" 👐
    1688404845374 _small.jpg


    In this next one the seeds are clearly visible
    1688404845371 _small.jpg

    Oh so frosty :drool:
    1688404845367 _small.jpg


    Gonna shut up now :hump:
    1688404845363 _small.jpg

    Day 60 - part one
  • Thanks for the rep @idiopathic neuropathy :cheers:


    Hey Bob
    Thanks for sharing the Infos to your breeding journey bro.
    I wish you the best phenos you could find. Keep up the good work.

    Have a nice day
    cu tobe
    You're welcome :toke:




    Today I've got a doozy for you guys...+50 pictures. I'll try to keep it at 45, which would fit in three posts...
    Let's get this show on the road ♩♬♬♪


    The ladies are 60 days old today and they can use a bit of extra attention. So I gathered all my tea makin' supplies and got started. Yesterday I cleaned out the 50L tank and filled it 3/4 of the way up. There's about 40L of water inside, give or take...
    To this I added 600gr PK Booster Compost tea, 100ml Orgatrex and 50ml Bio PK 5-8
    1688487205422 _small.jpg


    This will bubble away the next 24 to 30 hours. After which I will give each pot, 2L of the mix.
    1688487205402 _small.jpg


    Mephisto's Wedding (Small and frosty) - Day 60
    1688487205398 _small.jpg


    This lady is reaching her finish line you guys...
    1688487205394 _small.jpg


    No fresh pistils to be found. And the ones that are still standing are almost looking petrified...
    1688487205390 _small.jpg


    This entire main stem is just covered with frost!!
    1688487205385 _small.jpg


    Then the hind sister. She's big, greenhouse big!! And if I had the time for her I'd keep her. Sadly this isn't written in the stars for this one and she'll get harvested just before we leave on holiday. She'll go fresh into the freezer, double bagged as my missus doesn't like the fact that everything smells like, you know what :coffee2::haha:
    1688487205380 _small.jpg


    She has some frosty nugs, but compared to her sister these are small.
    1688487205376 _small.jpg


    In the higher part of the plant fresh pistils can be seen.
    1688487205372 _small.jpg


    Given time this branch will close up.
    1688487205368 _small.jpg


    Next we have the Mephisto's Wedding x Coal Miner's Daughter.
    1688487205363 _small.jpg


    Only at the very top she continues poppin' pistils.
    1688487205358 _small.jpg


    But lower on the same plant pistils are harder to find, let alone fresh ones...
    1688487205353 _small.jpg


    One of the lower side shoots... Amazing amount of frost on this gurl!!
    1688487205348 _small.jpg


    I like her a lot!!
    1688487205344 _small.jpg
     
    Day 60 - part two
  • I'll let you guys know what I think of her when she's done you guys!!
    1688487205341 _small.jpg


    And last of the smokin' girls, Double Grape x Toof Decay.
    1688487205337 _small.jpg


    A clasic Christmas tree shape if left alone.
    1688487205330 _small.jpg


    Her buds fattening up nicely.
    1688487205326 _small.jpg


    Expand my pretty 🧙‍♀️
    1688487205322 _small.jpg


    Have a look at that main cola...Nice!!
    1688487205318 _small.jpg



    Next we'll have a look at the breeders...

    Mephisto's Wedding x Forum Stomper. This girl is crisping up on top.
    1688487205310 _small.jpg


    Despite looking a bit shaggy, her bud are looking so freekin' frosty!
    1688487205305 _small.jpg


    And...I can't seem to find any seeds. But I do hope I will when harvesting her. 🤞
    1688487205300 _small.jpg


    Could this be a seed in the middle?
    1688487205295 _small.jpg


    1688487205290 _small.jpg


    Let's have a look at the Mephisto's Wedding X Coal Miner's Daughter breeder. Just like her bigger sister she has one massive main cola. And just like her bigger sister the top still keeps pushing pistils.
    1688487205280 _small.jpg


    So we're going to focus on the lower parts, which have the most visible seeds poking out.
    1688487205276 _small.jpg

  • Isn't she beautiful my friends? Nice coloring on her too.
    1688487205263 _small.jpg


    And we're going to end today's Maxi post with Double Grape x Toof Decay.
    1688487205244 _small.jpg


    This girl is amazingly frosty.
    1688487205235 _small.jpg


    I dare not to touch these girls as all that resin will stick to anything it touches...
    1688487205226 _small.jpg


    Final picture you guys...Thanks for watching along :thanks:

    Day 61 - Trichome check
  • Hey guys,

    Just returned from the greenhouse and while there I took a small tester bud from the Mephisto's Wedding (small & frosty gurl). I'll show you why...
    1688575756226 _small.jpg


    Even though there are fresh pistils everywhere. The trichomes are starting to change color.
    1688575756202 _small.jpg


    The main cola, a couple of budsites below the top.
    1688575756097 _small.jpg


    So, I'm currently drying the bud and will make up my mind after a smoke later on.
    1688575756061 _small.jpg


    Next we have the Mephisto's Wedding x Coal Miner's Daughter...
    1688575755998 _small.jpg


    She's getting close though...
    1688575755971 _small.jpg


    And on other parts there's even loads of clear trichomes...
    1688575755942 _small.jpg


    She does have enough of 'm :hump:
    1688575755913 _small.jpg


    And lastly the Double Grape x Toof Decay.
    1688575755864 _small.jpg


    Having the most fresh pistils, she still looks fairly ready. But on the other hand loads of trichomes aren't looking that far off. So I'm guessing this cultivar will become a great night time smoke...It will all depend on how long she'll take to stop pushing pistils and finish expanding...
    1688575755855 _small.jpg


    Another great example of a fresh pistil next to loads of trichomes that look almost there...
    1688575755845 _small.jpg



    Well you guys...The tester bud is drying at 36°C with some airflow over her. Eager to taste me something new... :baked:

    Day 63
  • Hey Breeders and Wannabreeders :toke:


    :welcome: to my greenhouse. Take a seat and follow along why not :welcome:
    Let's begin with the Mephisto's Wedding twins...The front girl is looking fairly ready.
    1688748042862 _small.jpg


    She's showing fall colors, which indicates the end of the road for this lady...
    1688748042859 _small.jpg


    I did check her trichomes and there are loads of spots like this one below...
    1688748042911 _small.jpg


    But the majority is looking milky...
    1688748042903 _small.jpg


    So you know what we say...If she looks ready, wait one more week and then take her down. So that's what I'm gonna do. In the meantime I get to feed her one more time, so :pie:
    1688748042894 _small.jpg


    Her hind sister is starting to bulk up nicely, if I must say so...
    1688748042855 _small.jpg


    Next we have Mephisto's Wedding x Coal Miner's Daughter...
    1688748042852 _small.jpg


    This lady isn't far behind on the Wedding two doors down...
    1688748042848 _small.jpg


    The amount of frost is just ridiculous. I love it!!
    1688748042846 _small.jpg


    And every bud is looking like this. I've only showed the bottom ones today! :coffee:
    1688748042840 _small.jpg


    I did check her trichomes, but you can clearly see she isn't there yet...
    1688748042877 _small.jpg


    1688748042868 _small.jpg


    Finally we have Double Grape x Toof Decay. Funny story. Last week I showed one of the breeding ladies with a crooked top bud. Well, this was the DG x TD breeder and yesterday I checked on the plants and found this dried out bud, with just a little bit of budrot, which cut off circulation to that top part. After removing that piece of budrot and some more, just to be sure. I was left with a nice dry bud to taste...Well, I know I tried to finish the joint in one go, but it failed. My missus had to come and get me as I completely dozed off...Anyway, just finished that joint I started yesterday and I'm happy as fuck ya'll!! A very familiar taste it has...I can swear I can taste Amnesia in this one...
    1688748042837 _small.jpg


    Having tasted that smoke from the breeder, I'm verry happy with how this lady is expanding :thumbsup:
    1688748042834 _small.jpg


    1688748042831 _small.jpg


    Well, that's 15 pictures you guys...Hope you enjoyed your stay and be welcome next time :pass:
