Chief’s Den

[Frimpong]

I just flipped the next round. I will update about the end of my last round here shortly. I have two of a second pheno of Strawberry Goji and a cut of the #1pheno of Goji x LT. Along with a couple unsexed Dank Zappa f2 from @Chronickyle .

Here is my question. I’ve had the Goji x LT male sitting in a quart dairy container for months, hungry and chronically under watered. He hasn’t thrown pistols that I’ve seen, but he has developed many near mature male clusters. I’ve been considering dusting a branch of the GojixLT and perhaps a branch or two on one of the Strawberry Goji for a few beans to play with. In addition to the male being at near full flowering in spite of just flipping. I did have late anthers on that Goji x LT when grown from seed. I think I may have had a light leak issue that I didn’t catch last round and ended up finding at least a couple hermie parts on each plant in flower.

So, is it worth it to isolate this guy and do a controlled dusting, or should I wait until I revisit the rest of the pack in hopes of finding better parent stock?

I'd hit it and take a cut. You never know that could be the best male. ?

You can do both but a lot depends on your down range plans . If getting a second pheno going is too much time, dust a branch or two for now, and hunt for better parents for a real seed run later.

It’s been pretty quiet around the den, but new life is on the horizon.

How are you and your family @chiefer888? It’s been a while. Glad to see you got some stuff up and running. Hope all is well brother.

Doing well, life has been busy. I’m getting the garden rolling again and hoping to share my journey with my growmies.

Thanks for the encouragement @Jewels , time for an update!

Hey everybody, I started my veg under a few screw in LED bulbs and the plants slowly plodded along for some time. I have moved everything into the big tent under my LED board setup and things are starting to accelerate. I have 4 Endor Score from Bodhi (A11g x Wookie, left), 4 x Dragon Temple from Doc D (Temple x Dragon Energy, middle), and 2 of a Dank Sinatra f2 mashup that I got from Dino Party.

 

[chiefer888]

Oh also, I ended up pulling the trigger on a new tent. I’m moving up from my 36” x 20”x 63” Vivosun to a 48” x 24” x 72” AC Infinity. I’m excited to have a bit more room and the extra height will provide insurance if I pop some narrow leafed varieties that want to stretch on me.

Sounds wonderful.

 

[chiefer888]

Sounds wonderful.

Yeah, it’s Siouxsie (HellsOg/SSDD x Dank Sinatra f2) x Crooner Cookies (Chocolate Fire Cookies x DS f2). Maybe @Dino Party could chime in with info about the Chocolate Fire Cookies, and if you’ve grown or had reports from this cross..

 

[Dino Party]

Chocolate fire cookies? oh yeah I did the reversal on those, I actually think I got more s1's somewhere I should dig up someday.

Siouxsie was one of my favorites, and her progeny has kept me real pleased. Nyx is a Siouxsie cross and I've run that one a couple times now. I used the last siouxsie beans I had selecting the mom for that one. The chocolate fire cookies is a chocolate diesel cross and is very limey, tennis ball rubber smelling. everything it touches gets a little bit of that lime nose to it.

Topped Endor Score and Dragon Temple this morning. All four Dragon Temples showed at least a hint of dark purple sap




Endor Score:


Dragon Temple:


Siouxsie x Crooner Cookies from @Dino Party (started almost two weeks after the others)

 

[chiefer888]

Three of my Endor Scores are ladies. They all got up potted in my standard Veg mix (Biolive and worm castings ect in recycled Roots organic soil).

They are obviously ready for new shoes.

Up potted two Dragon Temples, one showed as female and the other is being shy. The two others are male and will likely meet their maker. I had been considering keeping them for f2 or crossing, but both of these croses are still available at GLG and I have so many beans to search as it is.

I flipped to flower last Thursday. The taller of the Dragon Temples is in the middle and showing some leaf stress indications on a couple of spots. I’m thinking light burn. I’ll bring the lights up a couple of inches tonight.

Textbook K deficiency.

Textbook K deficiency.

If it is potassium I am in soil reammended with dry organic fertilizer. I have some Neptune’s Harvest Rose and Flower (2-6-4). I could water a bit in during the next watering and see how it goes. I didn’t let my soil cook at all so there is a chance that the nutrient availability is not keeping up with the plant demand.
