Trichitect's Travails

Man I bet there's some scent coming through in there! I'm just saying; if you were to move this week, I'd have that U-Haul unpacked in time for Morels in the front yard lol. Maybe bring the Durian with you... lol.

Visiting Michigan for a morel hunt is on my bucket list. I will get there one day!
@Psychobilly , when do they start poppin?

Depending on conditions, I'm starting to check spots right now. Early Spring, to mid Spring, would be a good time.

Just tried the Durian. God damn is it funky. As times it's like rotten eggs, propane, flatulence, at others it's kinda floral & sweet. Interesting af.
The taste is really sweet immediately upon hitting the tounge and then it turns to a creamy complex layer of flavors; flowers, cream, dry cheerios aftertaste, meat, umami, beans, sulfur, and yes @Psychobilly , there's some cheese funk in there, too. It keeps developing and changing as you savor each bite. Again, interesting af.
The texture is like layers of delicatley thin shredded sausage casings with undercooked scrambled egg paste between them. Honestly, that part I don't find very appealing.
Crazy bumpy texture on the rind was literally stabbing me while I pulled it apart.

Inside looks like an alien fetus.


The thing stunk up the whole house!
I know exactly what to look for now @Kanzeon

LOL I've heard that texture can be off putting, but, as I said, I've not had a shot at it yet.

Well, you guys probably know that I've been trying to put more effort into "fruity candy" strains lately, because I found myself always shitting on strains named after candy and fruit, and now I know, deep down, there's at least ONE fruit someone could name a strain after that I'd be ALL over hahaha.

Grow update:
As usual I'm trying some new things this round. I added some homemade biochar and a good portion of heavy clay topsoil from outside. This resulted in a much heavier mix than I'm used to, so now I'm relearning how to water. Overall the mix takes water much better than before, the clay just always accepts it, unlike Peat which goes all hydrophobic if it gets too dry.
On top this, I switched up my nutes to Rooted Leaf, and so far I'm loving it! Everything I put it on is doing great, meds, veggies, houseplants.

Frosty MacFish male & female. I took him down and saved pollen. Also saved pollen from the Punch Mittens & WhoOody Tribe. The (2) SCS Melvinz x Syrian Landrace males went into flower now.

Veg room is getting hot!

Big Sexy, The big one is a male, best looking one I have ever seen, already has trichomes on the fan leaves and it's still just in veg 🤯. All of the trouble getting seeds to sprout may have been worth it. He's definitely a keeper. The other 2 aren't showing yet.

Close up of male

Trichomes on male in veg? It's hard to see in the pic, I'll get some better macro shots.


Punch Mittens female, also getting frosty in veg, not used to seeing that.

Gotta be a good sign!

One more close up of the male with trichomes, I can't wait to see what he looks like in flower .

I mean if I knew you were looking for a sticky dude, I'd just invite you over while I'm sniffing Cheese... Haha
