Indoor MOB

[Another One Bites the Dust1]

GS, how I wish this was some MoB right now! Alas, it'll be next year before I see any MoB, but I still have a few seeds,...

>>> Last year's grow; a different shaped plant his time; buds could have been better, but that crap KindSoil Phosphorus depletion compromised it some,.......View attachment 774219 View attachment 774220

WOW, front wards and back words! I don't believe I saw your MOB from last year. Outstanding job as always my friend! Man those dried flowers make Stick's stick swollen. What an outstanding strain. Did you deal with mold on any of your girls? Personally, I don't care if most think the greens are a tad more potent, as I do love the color purple.

Thanks @912GreenSkell and Waira for showing us your pictures, much appreciated! Anyone else with pictures show away if you please.

Peace,
Stick

Cheers Stick, thank you! The first year was better on the purp's, as you see in the trichomes,.. it was the same color, but the trich's were so dense on that first one, it gives her a silvery appearance... --- green pheno' is more dense too, I believe,... Last year, I lost a few g's to mold on the main cola, but that weather was so f'ing perfect for mold, there was no way to avoid some even on the most resistant plants! Prior to that, no mold ever,... No hermies either! ............. BBL my friend, I'm burry-eyed tired! time for a snack and break,...

Brother @StickMan

I mentioned your genetics to a pair of the finest caregiver/growers in the state of Maine, yesterday, and they were ELATED to hear of your work!

I cannot wait to grow some out, and to (finally!) have a shot at Real MOB genetics! Its been 3 years since my last "genuine MOB" genetics ran out, and your work will be so meaningful to the growers here in my home State.

A Million thank yous!!!!

Two years ago I grew out three or four MOB x C99as out in the open. Had a couple of very dense flowered girls. We had high amount of rain, and lost more than I like too, to mold. That is one reason I am wanting to cross it with a proven OD strain bred and grown in hellish Northern Lat conditions like Viking, which typically has purple flowers to boot.

The MOBs I am running now looking for potential breeders, have been through the usual stress testing with out any even any late stage single nanners, which show up on some of the other photos that I have grown in the past.

So pretty!!!

Thanks for stopping by and for the kind word.

Hey tobe, yes this is an outstanding strain. Berry smell and taste comes through with everything it is crossed with. Great medical strain!

You just made my day my brother. That is why many of us are doing this including yourself, and that is to help others that so desperately need good meds. I have just been very fortunate to be able to acquire great tested genetics to work with, and want to share them with others in need.

This has been my first shot at growing MOB, and knowing these are the real deal, I must reproduce and make sure this strain in seed form does not vanish, like so many other great strains have. Another reason that I am so passionate about preserving untouched land races. As we know, there are so many medicinal compounds in the land races that have been bred out for the sake of high THC only.

Test beans will be in transit tomorrow. (Monday).

Peace

How are you Old Friend?

Many of you here at AFN know about and have grown MOB including @Waira, @Waximus, and @stepside. I'm sure there are more of you out there, but not sure who you are or I would have tagged you as well.

For those of you that are not aware of this very fine strain. Here is the lowdown from the breeder/seed producer of HighRise seeds.

Mob is a heirloom clone only from Maine. Unknown origin, unknown genetics. It's early outside, but not auto. At this point in inbreeding it seems not to have the lowryder gene. It's mostly indica, it's blueberry for sure, it's genetic make up surely contains something purple. It has a nice well rounded long lasting high.

PERHAPS? It might have some of that Mighty Mite in'er, could be the reason for the early trait.

Cres/Krk of HIghrise is getting out of the breeding/seed producing game, and gifted me some of his MOB S2s and several of his other strains, and told me to carry on with producing MOB.

Tis' an honor yes?

I am just finishing up my first run of 15 plants looking for some keeper genotypes to begin producing more fems, and many crosses to come. Believe it or not, I did not come across any nice purple genotypes that I am happy with for indoor growing. I did however come across one for OD growers at Northern Lats, that looks like it should tick off the box for low mold, and will be crossing it with Viking photo and some red/purple PCK that I just received from a 70 year old grower from Northern Cali, who has been working this line for several years, isolating for color and potency.Will also be making some MOB x C99auto V.2 MOB x Fire OG/C99auto, MOB x Mighty Durban, and many more. Any of you that have grown this strain, can attest what an outstanding Indica Dom strain this is.

I like them C99's, got two in the 3x3 now,and gonna hit them with Grape Hash Plant, ( along with Trainwreck, and Lambsbread ), to see if we can come up with a mold resistant plant. @Waira is up to date on this as well @sniper
Should be fun.

Here are a couple of pictures MOB P#11 Day 52 12/12. Poor quality pictures as always from me, and do not do this plant justice.

Chopped the top cola off tonight, and will let rest fill in. Not enough LED light, with too many plants crowding. Plant is in one gallon container in Pro mix.

This green pheno has those nice MOB berry terps coming through loud and clear.

Looking nice and fat.

Peace

It really looks like you are busy busy. Nice. We planning on Movinn' to Co. this winter, so next year I can grow big.

For now, a 2x2 and a 3x3 tent, so to restore my stock I have to be very selective.

All those I have spoken too that have grown many plants out, prefer the green phenos for potency by far.

Will be nice to follow along here, keep up the good worx.

 

[Waira]

:smoking: yeah, the green pheno' is more potent from feedback I've heard from other growers too,... As you know, Cres wasn't after the purple at all, in fact, I think he dislikes purple strains in general- how ironic!
Stick, decode that AOF for us? .... oh, wait, is that Aunt of Farouk? -- nice! I look forward to seeing how they turn out.... Viking too!

Waxi, I know, right?

I perfer the green pheno's my self they just seem to have more kick than the purples

Stick-Man! Stick-man! Stick-maaaan! .....This brings a giant smile to my face dear brudda- -- we have talked about this for a while now! Until fairly recently, I was genuinely worried MoB my go tits up, after all the work that went into resurrecting it several(?) years ago,...There might even be the original thread from when JM, Cres, et al were working on her,.. I know I saw it, but forget where, fairly recently too! I'll look,... Oh, BTW, allow me to fill in the shout-out list some more! @sniper, @Rebel @JM @Eekman @Root ... uhhhh,... that's about it for the "old schooler" still here :smoking:....

Get the f' out, 0/12 on purple pheno? Or just one you liked? ...I see purple as often, maybe more, than not,... I'm 2/3 on it, only 1 green pheno' to date,...Rebel and Sniper can help add some ratio info too,... Green has a superb background note of incense (to my nose at least), while purple has a pineapple-ish note,.. Sniper says he get more of an anise smell out of it, but that's all "nose specific" so far as I can tell,... one thing I enjoy, and am very curious about is how individuals interpret aromas,.. I test noses whenever I can! ........... I found potency to be very close on my plants, though some think the purple is a bit less potent... This is where lab testing could be so very enlightening, particularly with terpene profiles,...
excellent cross choices Stickfriend! Tell us about Viking,... Oooo, a personal IBL of PCK, colored! .... Durban MoB- .... And the future in auto crosses with those great ones revived again- .... In fact, I'd be damned interested in F1 fast versions, or rather, to test if this bloom speed trend manifests in them as it does in other F2FV lines , like from Sweet,.. DP has Think Fast, across of auto Think Different and Power Plant (also South African sativa),...
Stick, I'm gonna scare up some pics of my MoB grows and post them here, for reference and pleasure! Stand by,...

Hey bruddas!! I have a small stash of MOB I've been wanting to drop but can't til mid August. And I WILL be dropping them in mid August!

I have been struggling with this because as some of you know... I am a STAUNCH supporter of Regular stock. I don't really like the feminized only. But two things... One not really anything I/We can do about that at this point as there is not a 100% solid family tree on girl to start from scratch and even then... We don't know the original selection process so... Lol not an option... And crossing it is cool but still not straight up MOB.

So I'm probably going to break down and try feminizing it when I do run it. I'm just not keen on using the last of my stock, knowing there's no more stock, to do something I've never done before. Nor am I willing to give them away to be femmed... So its either I do it or it doesn't happen...


Now I can't remember exactly but if I did get a white/green pheno it was only once or twice. I've had every shade of color from dirty purple-gray to pink... Violet, dark purple, purple... Dirty pink. Color varies but the terp profile remains fairly stable. There is a cedar/berry pheno I would KILL to stabilize/isolate. Then there's a grape pheno that when cures tastes like candied grapes OMG its to die for lol.

This strain cannot die... It simply cannot. I've been told that a certain breeder it was given to from the original breeder (the medicine man) said it was a "shit strain". Which immediately made my jaw drop. Out of every "rare" strain I've ever gotten my hands on... I would have to say MOB is far... If not another universe far! Away from a "shit strain". It may not be the crazy soaring insane sativa it was hoped to be... However it is an above average feel amazing strain that not only has that coveted feel like a million bucks effect... It has a rare equally coveted terpene profile that for pot snobs like my wife, is incomparable in taste. I would concur lol

MOB WILL NOT DIE!!!

I will drop some pics in here I just have to dig em up...
