Sounds awesome! Black tuna is a long time favourite of mine! I didn’t know about your site, very cool! When/if I’m not broke I’ll have to grab some beans @kropduster as I’ve seen some killer stuff you have created much respect

Sorry to necropost, but this seemed like the best place.
Not testers. Paid for pack. Pics at 67 days flower. #1 actually is a soft lavender, the camera just doesn't show it well.

@The Duster - bro the last I can recall you had to kinda step back from slinging any seeds and I was wondering if you'll be back someday ? lol I keep thinking about that Wrath of Khan you shared a while back, and Road Kill Skunk among others.

I started 3 seeds from my order. I got two girls, one guy. Incredible vigor out of the gate. All three exhibit sturdy stems. Number two
and three
both grew with shorter internodes, and good branching, whereas number one grew with long internodes, and was incredibly reluctant to branch out. All three had an orange type stem rub in veg.
Tuna 3 was making dark purple calyx and vivid purple trichomes 5 days from flip, but struggled to build trichomes until week 7, where it rapidly caught up with trichomes that skipped the clear stage and went right to cloudy. Live flowers have an herbal/planty smell. Pistils stay viable for a long time. Large fluffy vivid purple flowers visually reminiscent of Dutch passions shaman from the late 90s. Small head greasy trichomes with very short stalks.
Tuna 1 started out a lime green, and grew with minimal stretch, and every node that laid bare during veg BURST forth with flowers during bloom. Long dense fingers clenched into spiky flowers. Trichome production steadily marched along during flower. Around week 5, she smelled like fried chicken, but by week 7 that morphed into an old school medicine cabinet smell, with eucalyptus, camphor and menthol taking center stage, and the flowers blushed with lavender. Spiky, long colas that remind me of sensi star ogre cut, or AJs diesel. Long stalks and big heads on the trichomes, with a sandy feel tell me she would probably wash good. I got a really good feeling about this one, and I'm glad I've got it archived.
@The Duster nice selection, brother. I regret only starting three, but I was unsure what to expect, having never run something as heavy sativa as this was. I'm looking forward to finding another like tuna 1, and archiving them in fem bean form, and if I'm lucky, a few males for regs. Thanks for sharing your work.

I wish I had your observational skills, and there's nothing wrong with your ability to communicate what you've observed either.
That's a
post right there.

I left a cola on tuna#1 to see how something with so much sativa in it would respond to a long flower cycle.
I took most of it down around 12 weeks. Explodes with loads of lavender when you break up a bud. Heavy on some unique terpene that's has a cooling effect on the skin and mouth/nose.
100% female here. Great at catching dog hair, sorry
. Starting to get a pissy scent under the medicine cabinet smell.Nice work, @The Duster

Yeah, she's shaggy, but the trim is so high value, I let my scissors take it easy on tuna1. She'd get more attractive, but it wouldn't affect potency. It's like 80% purple inside.

Number 3 finished undeniably purple. Smells like a cheap fundraiser chocolate bar that sat in a greasy mechanics tool box far too long, but to be honest, I botched the dry, so she didn't benefit from any cure.
