So I said I was going to fill in the gaps from what I missed out on posting over the past few months, and I am going to be a man of my word damnit! Repeat after me, I WILL not get stoned and side tracked, I WILL not get stoned and sidetracked....
So since I last posted, two grows were completed. As you already know from my last posts in February, the first of those runs was really just a bit of a Pheno hunt, and genetic exploration in search of studly male pollen donors. Popped a few packs of Emerald Triangle Headlights Kush, a pack of Emerald Triangle Lemon Haze, and a couple packs of Emerald Triangle Blueberry Headband. The Lemon Hazes all sprouted happily and healthily, but other than some cool black foliage, the strain didnt really wow me, and I simply tossed most of them, and grew out the most interesting of the bunch. These plants seemed to grow more Kushy than hazy, and while some of the smoke was real nice, none of them had the specific traits I was looking for, so they were quickly retired.
The headlights Kush was a very interesting strain to grow. Some leaned NL heavy, others took after the OG Kush, but about 75% of them ended up being a claaaasssiiiiiccccc haze. I saved my absolute favorite male from the bunch ( a classic catpissy haze that flowers FAST), and a hand full of my favorite females (one of each phenotype) to be pollinated for possible genetic exploration down the line. All in all, having been grown, dried, cured, and smoked I can say that the catpissy haze phenotype was by far my favorite. Good height and open hazy structure, great flower production, extremely resinous, potent, and smells extremely delicious, like the perfect mix of Lemon Pledge and dank cat pee. It was everything I was looking for in this project.
As for the BBHB, well.... to make a long story short, some kind of fungus damped off and molded 3/4 of the BBHB seeds right off the rip (Whoops! Now I add a bit of H2o2 to ensure an uncontaminated germination process) and were reduced to trash. Out of that group of survivors, I selected one keeper that stuck out to me above the rest. It was a beautiful lady with classic Christmas tree structure, tight flowers, beeeeaauuuuutiful autumn colors, and a very pleasant stank to her that smells of blueberry muffins with hints of kushy fuel funk. I pulled her aside and impregnated her selectively with my best keeper HLK male to make a polyhybrid that I have been having an absolute blast playing with... One you're going to hear me talking about a lot in the future, Blulight.
Here was the mother of Blulight heeaaaaviiiiilllyyy impregnated.
I'll go through the rest of that run, and the one following soon to update you guys on what I've been up to, but my lunch break is coming to an end, and I have to get back to the hydro store.
Until we meet again my friends!
