Dandelion...

,,, would have been bunny at my house.

I have not seen a dandelion for months. I would not have guessed that. The snow covers the ground, and a guy kind of forgets about them.

It just occurred to me that there may be folks on this forum that have never seen frozen earth. Kinda of funny for me to think about.
Have you ever wondered how we bury people in the winter ?

I'm guessing the same way just w heavier equipment lol.

You don’t. Put em on ice until the thaw. Canadian savages lol

A bit morbid but I had to google it anyway because I am curious by nature

"Historically, in areas where the ground freezes solid, cemeteries had a “winter vault”. It was an underground room where after the funeral the remains were stored until springtime. In the spring, the graveside ceremony and commitment service were usually held privately and at a convenient time by the family with clergy to say prayers and blessings. If you google funeral notices, you will see references to “internment” in the spring.

In modern times this is still done in some places, but sometimes the remains are stored in refrigerated facilities at a mortuary or funeral home instead.

This practice isn’t only Canadian. I believe it is done wherever winter makes immediate burial impractical.

Sadly, it prolongs the mourning period. If a family member passes in December it is a very long difficult time until spring."

Yeah, even where I am in New England most bigger graveyards have these vaults... I don't think they get much use these days with heavy equipment being available, plus it's just not as cold here as it used to be... I know the grave digger from the town I grew up in, he's into burial history to a kind of creepy level haha

I didn't know what the fuck I was watching, but I couldn't stop watching it and then I had to stop other people around me from what they were doing to show them and now they believe that I am even more weird than they had previously concluded. Yeah fun times. Positive vibes...

To you and yours as well brother!

I harvested a few flower sites yesterday from the pollinated branch on my DLA11 female, resulting in ~60 DLA11 x GG75 seeds. It had only been ~31 days from pollination, so a little earlier than I usually cut any pollinated branches. I usually try to give 5-6 weeks for seeds to fully mature, but the bracts on all of those flower sites had yellowed. There should still be quite a few seeds that come from the rest of that branch when I harvest it. The other 3 cultivars that I pollinated most likely will not yield as many seeds, just based on shorter branches/fewer flowers sites. I still have two packets of the GG75 pollen. Give me about 6 weeks from the last pollination and I will hopefully be sending you 6 hybrids made with your GG75 male. Thank you again for sharing! Positive vibes...

I am glad it's working out for you to some extent. I have been kicking around the idea of running the BR male again to capture more viable pollen. With what I am seeing in his first batch of progeny I think it's worth it. When that goes down I plan on sending some of that your way again.

I'll be updating this journal here pretty quickly with pictures of his daughters. I have been lightly smooshing young GorillaBlues flowers in my fingers for about the last week, and the male has a serious influence on flavor profiles, when laid into the GG4s1 cut of mine. Not that I need more sweet gas on the shelves at the moment, it does excite me to know that it can be also found in his F1s. I am also seeing BR dominance in the flower formations and development. About 60-70% of the current phenotypes have a BlueRipper look to them. On about half of those, the frost is a bit quicker to show and coverage is on par with the 30% of GG4s1 leaners.

I would be down to give it another try with some BR pollen again. Just keep me in mind whenever you flower out the male again and we will make it happen. I wouldn't mind looking through some of those Blue Ripper F2s either. Good to know on the BR dominance as well. I love the energy and dedication that you put into your work. I should be able to put some of that GorillaBlues pollen to work for you whenever you wish as well. Positive vibes...

I'll hit you up in a few minutes.... trying to get my fantasy team sorted....

I am a huge fan of glue myself and that what got me motivated to preform the Backcrossing project. The goal really is to capture most of the things we all like about glue and put it in seed form. It is my first attempt at building a male the way I see fit. I am stopping the GG line until I can get my hands on a certified original cut. From there I'll male hunt the GG88 and hit the cut to see if we can get some stable progeny.

U should have no problem finding that cut around this group!?

GorillaBlues assorted phenotypes at day 34

This is a down and dirty run. Nothing special. Fed standard mixes with not much PK boost. Bent and tied some of the stretchier pHenos down to even out what I can. Probably a bit to close to the LED ?‍♂️

 

[Idlewilder]

Is it the lighting or do I see some purple hiding in there?
