Hugh J@ss Re@lly Shows His @ss

[Frimpong]

This winter has been a weird one for Ol' Hughie. I decided, mostly just on a whim, to try and make some seeds, as I have previously made a deal with the wifey not to flower anything out for a while. Still can't imagine what it must be like to live in a legal state. Anyway, I'm having odd shit happen that I've never had happen before. Killed off a tray of seedlings - a first! - due to some soil pathogen. OK. Weird, but OK. I guess.

Now, I seem to be growing... HOPS??? I guess trying to avoid driving 50 miles to get FFOF has opened me up to some new experiences. Totally something that I've never seen before. Three of my cups have a second plant growing in them. One just looked like a blade of grass, so I trashed it, but look at these two. I've run a plant identifier or 2 on them and Hops seems possible. Going to send pic to botanist buddy to try and ID wtf this is.

I'm beginning to think I'm paying the price now for entering into a project all half-assed and by the seat of my pants. Also thinking I may try and move from soil into hempy buckets this year. Georgia is fucked for soil anyway - it has to contain a large percentage of pine products, because the state is run by GeorgiaPacific lumber. Starting to get a little spun out here.

Anyway, I've taken the liberty of expressing my current mood pictorially.

Just looking like a little mutation. The new red gross is interesting though. So you're thinking that soil might just be a little hot?. If so, cut it with some pro mix or something maybe. Just trying to help. If you can give me any more info maybe I can help more. ?

 

[Hugh Jass]

The Sowah Grapefruit seedling is on the right, and the ?? seedling is on the left, in the same Solo cup.
Is a mutated pot seedling? Hope so. No word from Botany Boy yet.

Fig??

 

[GthaEnigma]

is it possible to get a different angle including the apex growth and stem. Is it round or squarish?

Totally possible - the long red stem is square.

Similar, and I think hops and cannabis are in the same family. Think I read that somewhere.

They're cousins

 

[Hugh Jass]

The other thing I'm coming up with on the plant identifier sites is Goldenseal, but I think it may be Hops.

Thanks to everyone for reaching out -

 

[Hugh Jass]

The official verdict from my bud, the botanist, is Japanese Hops. Invasive species and all around bad juju.
Useless for brewing, too - the unforgivable sin.

Humulus scandens (Lour.) Merr., Japanese Hop (World flora)

Humulus scandens (Lour.) Merr. (Japanese Hop). Family Cannabaceae. Genus Humulus. World flora

This is Hugh. Hugh swung in and bought a bag of fully shitty yet only semi-cheap soil at Tractor Supply, rather than drive 50 miles to get Fox Farms.
Now Hugh has Japanese Hops, which are nowhere near as good as Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, in his cups and bags.
Hugh will be alright. Hugh's one of the lucky ones. But Hugh could have avoided all this brouhaha.

Don't be like Hugh, kids.

So this stems from not wanting to take a.... "hop".... skip and a jump further? Lol sorry bro I couldn't help it

When I got to the fork in the road, I got confused...

Narrator: Never one to know when to quit, Hugh lurches on in his quest to make a bean... purposely, that is.
Here's what we know so far: Hugh killed a bunch of seedlings, flipped out, and then killed even more beans.
After what turned out to be a rather large amount of fuckery, dumbassery, and all around poor planning,
here's where we stand... Hugh has managed not to kill 2 Bermuda Triangle Haze, 1 LSD, and 5 Sowah Grapefruit.
He hopes to reverse 1 BTH, pollinate 1 each of the 3 strains, and if he gets a good male SG, sequester it, and take and store that pollen.

Sowah Grapefruit still in cups

Good luck! I know how frustrating this hobby can be. Hope everything is a big success this run.

I've been PO'd and baffled, and as a result and not looking after my garden lately. Gotta get my shit together.

Here's to a ass-kicking Spring season for all!

 

[Ramjet159]

I had a shit few months getting beans to pop as well . Spent ages chasing the beans I wanted , then got 3/10 take hold .
Now I’m caught in the do I pop more and risk another shitty ratio ?
I guess I won’t know until I cry …..I mean try

 

[Hugh Jass]

I shouldn't complain too much - this is the first time I've ever had any of these issues - and yet I will, anyway.

 

[Psychobilly]

So @Hugh Jass

You pop that Blue Cheese X Punch Mamba yet ??

No - I am bounds by the terms of a "No Flower" treaty that the wife and I have entered into.
No flowering anything out until later in the year, in exchange for a triple run last time.
This is why I'm fiddle-fucking around with this seed making psychodrama.

Did you set a date for what is considered "later" in the year ?
