A REAL dog and pwnytail show

Number 2 in the White Powdery Mildew bean making series

Countertop Kush: re-used FF soil, 1-gallon nursery pot, GH Floranova 8-part, 11/13 under Viparspectra XS1500

The WPM series includes
GG4 x Blueberry Muffin
Fuji Apple Cookie x Blueberry Muffin
Vanilla Frosting x Blueberry Muffin[Blukakke]

While I'm not positive if this is GG4 or Fuji Apple Cookie, I'm going to guess towards the FAC.

I don't have an exact date but it's either 69 or 71 days.
Smell was a very distinct blueberry cotton candy Play-Doh early on, very similar to the Blukakke, but finished with an acrid catpissy berry smell.
It's not real loud but the catpiss is there enveloping the berries.

Unlike the Blukakke's, this one received fair treatment and regular feedings.
Yes, that wingspan is nearly 4 feet. So in all fairness, two of the branches were under a Spider Farmer 4000 for most of the duration.

If anyone is interested in digging through more of these beans, hmu. I'm probably done with them for the
rest of the year but I'll definitely be running more in the future.

Ok, so right off the bat, my Durban Poison clone is actually a Peanut Butter Breath because the labels I use for my clones pop off sometimes when it gets +80 humidity in the dome. I figure I'll be able to tell by week 6 regardless and it's for personal consumption so the rigors of accuracy are minimal.

I thought something was fishy around week 2 when she out-stretched the mother but different medium and nute regimen so?‍♂️?‍♂️

The Purple Caper Fresh Air clone is coming along nicely, way better than I expected actually.
I think this is 15-16 days. Right now there's a slight cantaloupe-y/melon smell.

PXL_20220502_052301988.jpg

Fast Purple number III is coming to a close in the next 14 days. I went a little heavier on the N in the beginning this time to test a theory*
This one is straight Promix HP with Floranova nutes[8-part minus Florakleen and Ripen].
The smell, which no one will claim to accurately describe as of yet, is much brighter and pronounced, almost "cleaner".

The second one yielded about an oz less than the first one but I flowered it smaller and the first one had a 60 day root base to start with.
I flowered this one fairly small but I'm expecting numbers closer to the first one as the buds seem to be a tad bigger on this one.

PXL_20220502_052514168.PORTRAIT.jpg PXL_20220502_052436123.PORTRAIT.jpg

Mountaintop Mint number II AKA Freakshow is done. This was in a quart pot/soil, 11/13 from seed once I realized it was Freakshow.
This one is different from the Darkheart cut I ran early 2021 in that it has a rich berry smell with burnt rubber skunk back end and the DH cut was very burnt rubber with hints of "fruity-ness". Either way, I'm not a big fan of this strain but I would keep one as a house plant because it does look cool.
It's been drying in the pot for about a week now I think since I didn't have space in the dry tent when I pulled it out of the bloom tent.
Now I really just don't give a s4it.

PXL_20220425_055601334.PORTRAIT.jpg

Last up is @Dino Party Double True Soulfire freebie. I took a cut because every time I don't, I kick myself. Very unique serrations compared to everything else I've got going on. Right now it just smells kind of "planty".
It's about a week into flower. I'm guessing around week 4 I''l wish I went a few more weeks veg time.
I really like the look of her so far.

PXL_20220429_085327762.jpg

Everything else is being nursed along after my back door blew open during a windy night causing my heater to run all night which a lot of stuff in my veg box didn't take kindly to. I relinquished my last PBB cut as well as a Purple Caper - Mac Daddy and Fresh Air cuts, HSC Pistachio, and my backup cut of Fast Purple to the compost pile as they were too dehydrated to resuscitate.
The Fiona's Chem Cake, Space Pastry, and my Flo cut fared a little better but are in need of serious attention.

Life's been pretty zany the last couple of weeks and got me feeling like Bob Flanagan in the Pinion video.



✌️

*ah yes, the theory... I feel like I get a better, more even trichome finish when I have higher N as opposed to a limeier-green plant going into flower. That's all.

Ok, first the bad news.
My wife and I have finally been priced out of our town. Yup, I'm a renter. We've been lucky for the past 15 years or so in that we've been under-paying for what we get. The landlord has been gradually increasing rent since 2012 and this year she finally put us out of the range we can afford. Which is actually still under the average for similar dwellings

The other bad news is electricity. There's more because we all know when it rains, it pours, but just trying to give some perspective of where I'm at rn.
I think I can sustain until July, then it's abandon ship time and on to the whatever. I knew this day was coming, just wasn't expecting it now.


Ok, now the good news.

It doesn't get any better than this:

Fast Purple F1 at 47 days

and the cut I took, four weeks behind it at 26 days

View attachment 105909

She's a bit sativa gangly but she's a nice producer. COPA says none have gone past 56 so we'll see. She's getting close, but the trichs are hinting 60-63.
The early nose was herby-mint but the last couple weeks has added a bit of skunk and what seems like orange without the bite. Like a pastel orange. But not orange. dig?

I pulled my Purple Caper Grand Fire at day 63 a couple weeks ago. It's probably one of the best finishes including dry and cure, that I've gotten from one of his strains... but

It's just not the same pheno that I was running in '17. Not even close, which is unfortunate because it's returning nice reviews. I'll try again later. I've got two more behind it I will turn to hash. The nose on the '17 GF was a distinct sweet grape smell and taste while this one is more masculine with none of the sweetness and the grape is hidden behind some other stuff that isn't unpleasant but also isn't my first 10 choices.

The [1st]Flo got chopped a few weeks ago and I/we have been sampling here and there. The tops are prime. The high is bright and heady with no heaviness at all.. definitely not a before bed smoke.

View attachment 105913

The nose is berries on the front end and and hash on the back end. The taste is berries all the way down. I've tried Flo two times, many years ago, and this is nothing like that. The terps on this aren't as strong and sweet as the Hella Jelly, but it's a true smell, an organic smell, to Hella Jelly's high fructose corn syrup sweetness.
Until I can run through the rest of the beans, this is the keeper and the most requested "can I have some more" right behind the Mountaintop Mint[I'll do a separate post on that].
I've got a HSC Collie Man Kush, Raspberry Ice Cream, Mountaintop Mint II, and Humboldt Pound Cake, as well as a CSI Durban, a Seven of Nine and Miner's Wife from Second Generation, and a small seeding project a few weeks into flower, which brings me to the even better...


The weedster bunny visited. In light of all the bad news, I'm really hoping I can get to the Space Pastry and my Dream Floats soon.

View attachment 105910

Holy shit, guys! It's like Cracker Jacks for adults except the popcorn is seeds and the prize is seeds and it's just prizes as far as the eye can see.
This shit better hold up. The camera adds 10 lbs, they say.

If I can get a couple holes plugged in this sinking ship, I'll pop them and at least get a feel for where they're going to fit into my program. I want to get to the COPA ICC x GSD pretty soon too. Plus he just dropped the FP for real. I'm entering that existential crisis zone you've all already experienced probably.

There's never enough

I feel your pain buddy..My situation has been very similar in the past..I was renting when I started.. finally buying a place in the country and built as what I think is a strong sense of growing over many years..Long story short .. divorce..Lost everything... literally..except what I was wearing my truck and the best thing I had..MY SEED COLLECTION ? I had chucked the the to the best for quite some time...Up to current..Still haven't popped some of them crosses and currently renting...New wife.. Looking to buy again...One thing that never stopped was picking the best female and hitting her with the best male..even at times just one tent grows..The passion keeps me focused to the point that NOTHING has been able to shut me down completely..I'm more focused now than I ever been and have found some very nice plants..Best of luck to you brother..If it's in your blood it's in your blood

Peanut Butter Breath coming to a close. I accidentally deleted my calendat entry for the "Durban Poison" which is what I originally thought this was.
Gotta be around 65-70 days.
No room in the dry tent right now so I'll check trichs and pull it at the end of the week maybe?‍♂️ PBB 004.jpeg PBB 003.jpeg PBB 002.jpeg PBB 001.jpeg Peanut Butter Breath.jpeg
I tried to save the mother but I think I fried the roots. I took a huge chunk off the top prior to that, that's sitting in water right now and looks like it might root.
I sure hope so, this pheno is probably worth hanging onto for another minute. Loud nutty earthy smell.

Raspberry Ice Cream. This the last one and I'm done. Nice high but not fawning over the terps which are predominantly lemon with a raspberry back end.

Tent shot. The just starting to flower monstrosity in the bottom right is the last Fast Purple I'll be running for a while.

PXL_20220602_063020356.jpg

On the veg side, I'm prepping the FCC's and Space Pastry. Also got the 4 Flo x Fast Purple about 3 days into flower in half-gallon pots...

Real quick while I have an internet connection.
It's been real sketchy since Tuesday when it sounded like a lawn mower dropped from the sky at terminal velocity and something popped?‍♂️

From past experience I know there are some that agree and some that don't, but I've never toked any Blue Dream that wasn't lame sauce.
I had some Blue Dream from Tahoe Wellness back in 2014. It was good enough that I went back and grabbed another eighth before I left.
That's the only time I've had a Blue Dream worth while. I would have bought more but I didn't want to carry any weight around since Nevada was still illegal.

Nothing like the real thing. Only had a couple times but god dam . Amazing but ya 9/10 it's shitte . Have had similar experience with GSC. But man once I got a taste of the real thing. Wooooooo baby ??

I be one to admit I fell for the hype..The two phenos I kept looked amazing...super amazing! Just no ass to back up them good looks... Actually decided last night to not move em in with the next male...Gifted away the clones...Moving on

Raspberry Ice Cream nanners out hardcore at 57 days. I forgot to unplug my Viparspectra the day before and that has traditionally been the culprit but the RIC was on the other side of the tent so I'll have to consider other reasons. The two before didn't express maleness until around day 65 and not as much.

PXL_20220607_054712170.jpg

@Dino Party Double True Soulfire is a light yielder but the smell is reaon enough for me to line up number 2 with more tops this time.
Probably not a keeper

PXL_20220607_054512393.jpg PXL_20220607_054603453.jpg


Going out big with the Fast Purple F1 from @Copagenetics. In retrospect, I probably should have flipped a few days earlier.
She's in a 4-gallon again and the pot has been almost completely dry each "morning" looks like I might have to wrap the pot or get a tray
so she can drink the whole day, later in flower.

PXL_20220607_051522291 (1).jpg

Last but not least are the Fiona's Chem Cake. This has been a nice exercise in stalling out plants long enough to have them fit into the rotation.
Low light, low temps and general abuse seems to work. Another week and these will go to flower. I think I have 2 males and two females out of the four.
Out of the seven beans, one never made it past the first week, the other two got dumped on the floor when a plant I had balancing the the two on a stupid shelf dried up and upset the balance.

The dog and pwnytail show is officially over. We had to lay our pupper to rest a couple of weeks ago and I'm still not over it.
I've tried to make this post 4 or 5 times and just couldn't do it.


00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200209081829806_COVER-5.jpg


While that was going on, my landlord contacted me to let me know they were going to come in with an appraiser to gauge how much they need to spend to bring the house up to market value. That gave me four days to relocate my grow.
It ended up going to two different spots for about two weeks. I brought everything back and got it all set up again last Tuesday but now I can't keep my tent humidity below 60% for some reason I've yet to discover.


I've been puffing on the Fresh Air as my daily driver since I'm out of Peanut Butter Breath and the Fast Purple simply doesn't taste as good. The high on the Fresh Air is a little more chill also; decent smoke for driving down Pacific Coast Highway all day.

Fresh Air.jpg


The @Dino Party Double True Soulfire is cut and dried and just waiting for me to jar it up. I'm going a tad drier than usual with everything since a lot of this is going to be stored long-term. The best terps have evaporated off but there is the smell of an acrid pissy-ness and almost a sour berry. I'm smoking some as I type this and there is an almost grapefruity taste but it doesn't have the bite of limonene, rather the opposite, it's cool and kind of menthol-y on the inhale.
This one was pulled at day 64. The second one is on day 24 right now and I will try to take that one to 70... maybe.

DTS.jpg


All of the rest of the Purple Caper stuff is finished. The Birthday Cake16 has an oddly tantalizing sweet frosting front end with a strong skunk-ish back end.
The one thing about PC strains is that there seems to be a common "hashy-like" taste across his work. I attribute it to GSC but IDK.

Birthday Cake16
BC16.jpg Birthday cake 16.jpg


Mac GSC2- this one I didn't really give much thought to. Out of the three, This one is probably the best yielder given the short amount of veg time and the size of the clone. These were as old and about the same size as the Fresh Air but I put the FA in a 4-gal fabric on day one and the other 3** clones stayed in their pint containers until 2 days before flip when they went into 2 gallon fabrics. My buddy says the Mac Cookies smells like moldy mangoes.
I haven't really had the time or motivation to sit down and smell the flower.

MacGSC2.jpg

2nd PBB. This was supposed to be the one until I discovered the Durban Poison was this also.
The labeling mistake rose about when I over-cloned the PBB for fear of losing it, and not removing the label from the original DP seedling container.:facepalm:

PBB.jpg


Right now I've got two Fiona's Chem Cake, a few of the Flo x Fast Purple, a couple small Flo, the last Fast Purple, and a bunch of BC16 and Fresh Air about 3-5 weeks along. Due to obligations and to simplify things, we're giving out place up and moving in with a relative for an undetermined length of time. After that, the wife would like to move closer to Illinois to be closer to the kids and grandkids. I plan on being completely out of here by the end of August.

For now I'm going to attempt to keep the three Purple Caper cuts and the Dino Party around as long as I can. Where we're moving to is extremely risky to grow outdoors and there is no prospect of even the tiniest indoor although I can probably garage the cuts over winter.

Thanks to everyone here for making up a terrific community. It's mildly depressing I can't run all the genetics I've received from here and in direct relation to this forum. You all are awesome!

For now, I'm done with this thread, any further updates will get in where they fit in.?

**There was also a Mac Daddy[Mac x Grand Caper] but it suffered injury in a terrible sky diving accident mentioned in an earlier post.

First off, I'm so sorry about your pup!!
I am a huge dog person and they become a large part of our family.
It is a very traumatic experience losing one of them.
I feel your pain.
Next, what a beautiful array of plant you just showed off.
All of them are just lovely, you should be proud of your work.
Lastly, if you every do come back this way, Illinois is fairly canna friendly these days.
A med card is a phone call away, and it will let you grow 5 plants at a time, (not counting clones under 5 inches) legally.
Not perfect, but doable.

Cheers,
WillieP
