Tales from a happy gecko

Quick seedlings update;

8/10 SD BX1 from Piff Coast Farms
8/10 Chocolate Cookie Dough from SoCal Seed Vault
3/4 Karma SD BX2 F2 from Black Bag Seeds

Unfortunately the Dippy Elsy’s didn’t give anything good; about 10 sprouted but all of them were mutants with almost no growth, it is what it is I’m just a little bit disappointed as I really was hoping to find something nice with those.

So I decided to soak some Blues from Underground Originals, Pure Michigan F2 and a pack of Apple Cobbler from Alien;
9/9 on the Blues
10/12 on the Apple Cobbler
0/10 for the PM F2; seeds were dark almost black, had to hand crack them but none of them showed tails..

After the Dippy Elsy failure, this happening with the PM F2 got me bored a little bit, came to the conclusion that the best remedy would be to pop more beans lol.

Soaked yesterday;
14 ‘96 ECSD from Lorax315
12 SD BX3 from Shoreline Genetics
10 Frozen Coke from 3rd Coast (almost all of them had cracked in water, compared to the PM)

And I will soak these tomorrow or on Monday;
Skunk x OG#18 - DNA (regs)
MTF BX4 - AKBean Brains
Koffee F6 - PNW
Sega Sour - Black Bag Seeds
Orange Cheesecake - The Plug Seedbank (regs)

Quick shot of one of the JH x Rosetta Stone, ready to stack; I had forgotten how vigorous JH crosses usually are!

What a lineup! Sounds like you’re hunting some diesel and diesel crosses. I’m kinda doing the same. Subbed up for the show.

Thanks @MtRainDog!
Yeah I just can’t help it, from everything that I’ve grown/smoked through the years, SD remains on the top no matter what.

First time i smoked some was the SD Riri cut (came from Rezdog’s release) in 2007, then there were two or three clones floating around in Europe at that time, DHK cut and fakes.
I’ve lost these cuts several years ago, and didn’t find anything that came close to them. Was lucky to grab a pack of Karma’s SD BX4, the pheno I’ve kept reminded me a lot of great memories.
6E48DE29-ECF7-404A-A607-94D2CB01E4AC.jpeg

She’s about 90% like the SD i remember.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this SD BX4 release, as the Road Dawg, Sour Josh and Headbanger I had grown from Karma were clearly more sour than diesel.
But this one is just the perfect mix.

So I´ve been searching and collecting (and still am) every Diesel strains that I could get my hands on, and will mainly focus on these for the next year or so.
Here is what I will be soaking during the next couple of months;
  • Chocolate Diesel F2 - Derg Corra Collective (x4)
  • PCSD F2 - PiffCoast Farms
  • Sour Diesel BX3 - Shoreline Genetics (x4)
  • Sour Diesel TCC F2 - Alter Ego Genetics (x3)
  • Sour Pie - Alter Ego Genetics
  • Platinum Sour Diesel - Alter Ego Genetics
  • Island Sweet Skunk x ECSD F2 - SeedHeaven Seeds (x2)
  • Volcano Sour - Black Bag Seeds
  • Diesel Face - Black Bag Seeds
  • Diesel Dawg - Black Bag Seeds
  • Chocolate Diesel F3 - Useful Seeds (x2)
  • Super Sour Headband - Lifehouse Genetics
  • Karma SD BX2 F2 - Lifehouse Genetics (40 seeds)
  • Deedee (Sour Diesel Riri cut BX3) - French Touch Seeds
  • Sour 33 - EZ Genetics
  • Sacred Sour - Aficionado
  • GTR F3 - Aficionado
These are all regs, I haven’t looked in fem seeds till now but I could hardly resist to some S1’s..
This will be the main part of the hunt, I will also focus on orange and chocolate/coffee strains, amongst other things such as Blueberry/Flo, Zkittlez, Island Sweet Skunk, Mango Haze, Cheese, Sundae Driver, etc. Finding a nice fuel OG without any sourness is also on the list ?

Very nice collection of diesels. For me it’s been a more recent kick, and I’ve only grown and harvested the ECSD s1 so far. Have a lot still to dig into. The high of the s1 is very on point for me. A good potent hybrid for anytime of the day. Doesn’t leave me feeling groggy. Great returns on the rosin press. Terps are good, but not very SD I think. They are fruity, with a diesel background. I didnt know Shoreline did a bx3… thats awesome! If you like coffee/chocolate take a look at AK bean brains maybe. His chocolope should be a good one, and he has some chocolate thai in his arsenal.

Here’s what I have to hunt through for SD style strains:

ECSD bx1 (Shoreline)
Starduster (ECSD x Ms Universe) (Dynasty)
G-Unit (Gorilla Bubble bx5 x SD bx4) (Tony Green)
Pineapple Fields (Kali Snapple x Ms Universe) (Dynasty)
ECSD s1 (Heisen, Shoreline cut)
ECSD x Purple Punch (Heisen)
SD x Lemon Tree (CSI)
SD x Cali-O (CSI)
Bubblehead (Headbanger x Sour Bubble) (Tony Green)

Yes I get what you mean with that fruity twist, which I didn’t have with the « old school » SD’s.

The Chocolate Thai is another of my favs, and the chocolate crosses I will be hunting are mainly based on it.

Just re-read this and see you have quite a few packs from SoCal seed vault. I was just chatting with him trying to pick up a couple packs of their Strawberry Diesel F2 (they’re out of stock atm), but interested to see how their gear turns out. Anyway, he said their Strawberry diesel is from Classic Seeds IBL, so F2 might be a misnomer. A little search later, and reading through @texasjack’s journal on zlabs.nl, I came across Generic seeds, who also sells Classic’s SD IBL on GLG and Soak n Beans. I picked up two packs. But at $35/pack i might pick up some more from SoCal seed vault. They have a lot of interesting bargains

Here are the 9 JH x Rosetta Stone at 31 days dincenot sure where I saw the RS leaning pheno’s last time lol, as they’re definitely all leaning (more or less) to the JH, especially when sniffing them; typical haze scents that you could find in the Netherlands during the early 2000´s.

Take care everyone!

Yes they have a great choice of genetics to choose from and for very reasonable prices; that’s mostly why I’ve ordered some packs from them, Bryan is a great guy too!
