Unfortunately I think they took their site down. They have an Instagram post up announcing they were splitting up but I ain't on the gram so I don't know when it was posted or if they ever explain why. I know a few of their breeders started Crickets and Cicada Seeds but if the founders, Kagyu and Bamboo are still breeding I dont know where.

I had kind of guessed the Burmese was their thing since its their IBL and because their Smugglers Choice Burmese is $200 a pack ... but ive got nothing on the Swazi side of my cross

 

[GthaEnigma]

I hadn't heard that but i have been behind the times for awhile, i don't do the gram either. I guess i had better jump on the gear i want then.

Only lil Romy has yet to show sex. Wound up with 12 confirmed females from the 20 regs I planted. Four for four on the SCJs! One of which is budding up already.

Some plans for crosses are coming into focus but we will have to see how things develop. Little disappointed in the early results from the AK bean brains stuff ... its so hyped and I've seen such good results elsewhere, but only one Rom BX4 looks good and all the dope beard durbans are really small ... hoping we see some decent stretch from them.

On another front I decided to do a straight coco grow next ... trying to pick which strains to run for it. Thinking its gonna be Cobb's Candy, Detroit Lemonade and Welchie. They're going to be run in one gallon smart pots all the way through with Veg + Bloom nutes.

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

I knew outdoor growing seemed too good to be true ... even with the bugs they were just chugging along with barely any help from me, then bam ... rainy weekend when I was too busy to get to them and I lose the entire FS x FC to bud rot...

The NCH is pretty small too. But the Ketama is looking nice so we'll see. I think I prefer my indoor growing. New England weather is just so unpredictable. Maybe I'll setup a greenhouse next season and see how that goes.

I just got everything for my new tent, opened the tent box .... and it was tonneau cover for an f150 short bed .... couldn't make this shit up. Amazon says they can't get a replacement to me for almost a week ... not ideal. Gonna have to try to find something local. If I can't find a tent but get my hands on some mylar tomorrow this may turn into a construction project

Got a tent. Little too tall. Now its custom. Also got this guy today ... for motivation.

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Everyone in their new home. Kicking a 240w DIY QB with the 315 CMH now.



Veg tent seems so empty now ... guess its time to drop some more magic beans! The aforementioned Detroit Lemonade, Cobb's Candy and Welchie went down. Have something special from Useful on the way (that dude is just seriously awesome) so that will be joining them in my coco lineup when it arrives.

Also, I was mistaken when I said no more autos for a while ... Mephisto Creme de la Chem got dunked tonight too.

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Black cherry pebbles is closing in on harvest! She's getting some nice fall colors now ... too bad I underfed her and left her leaves all pale and yellow ?

 

[HydroRed]

Oooh....secret mystery beans from Useful .....Im intrigued!
You aint lying about him, hes a genuinely wonderful and giving person and a hell of a breeder with an unmatched sense for good pairings.

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Of course I drop a bunch of money on this new setup and think I'm settled in for a bit and my CMH starts acting up ... it's not coming on every time when the timer flips ... works once you tap the mogul socket ... may be needing a new one

Random picture dump...

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Messing around with some chucking ... learned a few lessons already....

Should've planted more seeds of fewer strains ... not enough to pick from ...

Instead of harvesting the pollen from the SxB I decided to do a little open pollination experiment ... stuck my favorite females in the tent with the male, once i think the pollen is good and set they will go back in the big tent ... got an SCJ, Romulan, SxB and Dope Beard Durban in there for females ... see how it goes

I'm narrowing in on a better plan for my next round of regs ... thinking it will be a whole pack of Brisco's Southern Bananas and a whole pack of Useful Lucky Lime F2

In the meantime, plenty going on ... all the beans I just planted are up so "A Gentleman's Coco Grow 2020" is officially underway! Going with a 70/30 coco and perlite mix ... Veg + Bloom Dirty and Life+ for veg with some Mad Farmer M.O.A.B added during flower

Wound up being his Chem D x Banana OG testers and a full pack of Lucky Lime F2 regs ... long story short he just up and offered to send me some beans because I DIDNT win the giveaway ... dudes like Oprah, everyone gets a prize!

I had no idea what he was sending but I'm super stoked to grow these out, his pairings are definitely top notch .... I can say the same about your work though too Red, this Monkey Juice has been a real pleasure to grow, and Im willing to bet the smoke will match ... I'm anxiously awaiting harvest!

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Topped and took clones off the Dynoberry Bites, Big N Tasty and Blackened Oranges

Big N Tasty looks like it has some N toxicity but not much I can do until I up-pot ... not too worried though



Chem D x Chocolate D ... smells like straight gas fumes right now



Katsu Key Lime Kush ... smells like ... key lime ... go figure!



The SCJ Females that didn't get asked to the prom



The rest of the remaining females of various strains

Useful Chrème D’ bannan
What a wonderful world.

He picked the the guy for chem warfare.
Blow that up Corpy !

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

@Jewels may have been prescient...

Lil Romy has grown into a big beautiful woman ... she showed sex a few days ago and immediately took off ... something says this may be the Rom you've been looking for ... beautiful form

She went back into the veg tent ... gonna try to take some clones, grow her out a little bit ... hopefully I can get some clones to take ... haven't been doing well lately

Have to get some McDonald's Parfait soon

 

[Jewels]

I can see those clones forming up.
Have you ever tried a top clone?
In my limited experience, topping seems to pop all the other nodes. Gives clones to play with, and produces a manageable sized plant as time drags on.

I have actually ... I started trying to clone just to not waste the tops ... it worked then, I gave most of the clones away

Now I want to clone for myself, to keep a mom alive, and I cant for the life of me

 

[Jewels]

Some plants are legit harder to clone than others.
Indica have got my goat, a time or two.
Keep reading, trying stuff out, do your thing. The ones that don’t keep up, are the ones you didn’t want.
errr,
Wait,,,
That might be the Pirates Code .
I don’t want to be looking over my shoulder for Walts ghost .
