StOnA's perpetual pot plant pandemonium.

[St0nA 425]

Ok maybe pandemonium is a bit more grandiose than my small batch, personal supply operation but the quality and variety will surely make up for what it lacks in quantity. You will find lots of different strains with plenty of bud porn to browse and undoubtedly some breeding and experimentation.

 

As my seeds sprout and progress I will post some pics and info for them along with any useful info I may have.

It looks cool anyway do you have a larger picture so I can obtain the big picture in my mind.

[St0nA 425]

Well here is a random dispensary bud seed. It's either sour kush or sour diesel. It was the first to germinate and of course had to be the guinea pig that ironed out the kinks in soil and water. It's funny how many little things you forget when you haven't grown for a while. Anyway after some sick days she is perky and stout AF.

[Theo 150]

I know what you mean I had to shut down for two years/grew again and had to quit again for about another two years. I'm accustomed to getting colas the size of 2 L bottles well maybe not quite so damn close I can claim it LOL.

[St0nA 425]

Getting soil and water kinks ironed out. The guinea pigs are surviving but in typical 2020 style they have been a bit sickly more often than not.

 

My first sprout, dispensary bud bonus bean, has been a champ through the adjustments and despite the challenges it decided to do a gender reveal today.............. 💝♀️ the first bean in 6 years being female is definitely a blessing especially after the stress she's been through. She's the one on left end in full shot.

 

Here's a shot of the FrankenVeg 4000 light I threw together for a few bucks. Works great, will prob add another.

 

 

Slow going here for now but when the real show starts there will be plenty to see!

[Theo 150]

Great starts good potential hope to see more thank you for sharing

[St0nA 425]

Still moving slow here. Trying to find the best route to get my horrible tap water in better shape and getting the soil mix dialed in with a very acidic batch of Ocean Forrest.

 

On the bright side the plant on the far left (either a SourD cross of mine or Tahoe Cream) is fruity AF. Any time the leaves are touched, or a breeze goes across, your nose is filled with tropical fruit smell. So that's exciting for such a small plant.

 

[St0nA 425]

These pics of my water filter should tell you a lot about my growing style. 😂🧑‍🔧🧑‍🎓🧑‍🌾🧑‍🔬

 

Goes in 550ish ppm 8ish pH. ...Comes out 0-5ppm 5.5-6 pH.

[St0nA 425]

So I popped a bunch of a cross I made a few years ago. (SDv3 rez x (AE77 Cali-O x Swt Tooth3) x Ghost OGK cut) x (Grim C99 x Ghost OGK cut) aka SOOG x Cindy's Ghost.

 

I know it's a mutt but it's all elites mixed with old school genetics that were combed through in batches of 50 or more to choose the contributors. So it's really a matter of which kind of fire will result.

 

Thanks to ROC for the Orange OG and Cindy's Ghost. One of the greatest under radar breeders I've ever come across. You'll see a lot of his work in my arsenal.

 

Anyway, got about 9 to eagerly germinate. 

 

They are mostly doing well as I'm dialing in but this one is markedly frostier that the others. Gotta love baby frost.

[St0nA 425]

Quick pic update.

The up potted 

[EDDIEKIRK 11,915]

Nice job, @St0nA

[St0nA 425]

Things are still going a lot slower than I'd like but progress is progress and in growing patience is paramount. So I should probably reflect on that some more.

 

Anyway. I got the first 3 beans that would crack for me into the bloom box on the 1st of the year. They weren't prepared for it as it was a lot sooner after up-pot than I typically like. But as the first in 6yrs they are long overdue.

 

In my excitement to get going I lost track of what strain 2 of the 3 are. I do know that they are either the last 2 of my prized SourD rezurrection or a SourD cross I made. I can't be certain unfortunately but from the way they are looking I might have gotten lucky AF and they are both my SourD. Stay tuned for that. The 3rd is a dispensary/bag seed that is either Sour Kush, Sour Diesel, or a random Kush.

 

I'm letting them grow au natural with no manipulation to see what characteristics they have. 

 

Getting 3 beans to crack out of dozens is sad but at least they are all females!

[St0nA 425]

Some more progress here. The 3 ladies are doing well. Got the lanky ones staked and ready to gain weight. Had to sew the stakes to the fabric pots

 

Enlisted my daughter to make me a height tracker, just need a few clips to use as markers if I want to get serious about it.

 

 

Got a couple more into the bloom box so I can see what they have to offer before I invest too much and because I'm running out of veg space. Lol

 

[St0nA 425]

I guess it's time to dig the old point and shoots out for some shutterbuds. See if I can remember how to use them.

Here is a peek at my what looks a lot like the plant that made me fall in love with SDv3 in week 2.

 

[EDDIEKIRK 11,915]

how many gallons is that bigger plant in?

Those are all 3gal fabric pots.

 

 

[St0nA 425]

So it looks like one of my Tahoe Cream is turning out to be a triploid?!? 0.o

[St0nA 425]

Had some time to reacquaint myself with my camera today. I hadn't been using this one long when I went on hiatus so I hadn't fully learned how to ride this bike lol.

 

Anyway... Here is a few shots of the babies in the house. 

2 Gummy Bears from Elemental Seeds (because it was one of my fav dispensary smokes over the years)

 

 

And two Cali Connection Original Sour D (because I don't wanna live without it any longer😭) The second one has been stubborn and yellowing, which if you know the real Sour D then you know that's a good sign. But as soon as I realized I got her corrected. 🤞

 

 

[St0nA 425]

Some gender reveal action going down today.  

 

My sole SOOG ( Sour Orange OG) plant is a boy and both Tahoe Creams are girls. Soog was in a hurry to soar his oates so it's a good thing I had time to check and isolate him.

 

The Tahoe Creams have legs that go all the way up. Good thing I flipped em young. 

 

Another look at the 3 headed freak TC.

 

 

And the frost setting in on 21F mystery cross.

 

[St0nA 425]

Super excited today as one of the plants that caught my eye weeks ago that also showed fem yesterday... Today has the most sour, diesely, pungent, hit you in that one spot in your throat smell that I have smelled in years. 

 

It's a seed I made with my sour d being one half of the male parent. Having lost all my beloved sour d beans this has me very hopeful I can get her back. Anyway.... So Stoked!!!! What a smell 🤢🤮

 

[St0nA 425]

Things are going fairly well now, plants are liking adjustments i've made thus far. They are loving the soil mixes which are:

 

Seedlings- 6 parts coco/perilite/pumice mix- 3 parts fox farm Strawberry Fields - 1part Ocean Forrest

 

Veg- 4 parts Ocean Forrest- 2parts coco p/p mix- 4 parts Strawberry Fields + azomite, alfalfa, agricultural lime

 

Bloom- 6 parts Ocean Forrest- 2 parts coco p/p mix- 2 parts Strawberry Fields + Bone meals, alfalfa, agricultural lime, azomite, probiotics.

 

Here's some shots of the ladies in bloom. Still dialing in camera but getting better.

 

 

Here is a look at the 3 headed Tahoe Cream getting started.

 

[St0nA 425]

In my search through my sees collection for survivors i got a bit anxious after failing to germinate so many so I tried strength in numbers. It just so happens that one of my creations was still viable and I ended up with 12 to add to the 3 I already had and then I added 4 fems from attitude that came in the mail. So a total of 19, of that 19 I had 3 males. 

 

1 came from the 12 and doesn't resemble the majority of the pack. It was more indy and has a very skunky diesely dank stem aroma while all other females have a herby spicy stem aroma except one super sour diesely stem female who is also easily distinguished from the pack.

 

Today the funky male indy pollinates a branch of all the flowering ladies in the box.

 

My two mystery crosses both smell like lemon starburst and I can't wait to see how they finish. Almost 5 weeks in now.

 

In a few days I will pollinate a few more branches with the other flowered male who is the brother of the father of the 12. Lol

 

The 12 are all a  combination of high pedigree refined legends and have created some beautiful, hearty plants and I'm pretty excited to see what the results are especially with the two individuals, they are super pungent funky slinky sour and that's my type.

 

The "herby uncle" Sour Orange OG (SOOG)

 

 

One of the beautiful fems of the 12, pretty much what the pack looks like. 

SOOG x Cindy's Ghost

 

 

Another fem of the 12, just super nice stout, lush ladies.

 

 

The Standout SourD funky stem fem of the 12.

 

I'll get pics of the others up eventually for anyone who wants to see the story of the desperate dozen who's genetics are:

 

Thee Ghost Og cut in both parents

Ae77 Cali-0 cut 

Sweettooth3 (90's version)

Selected Bros Grimm c99 

Selected and refined reservoir SDv3=

Sour orange og  X Cindy's  Ghost

 

 

 

 

 

[St0nA 425]

One of the impregnated buds, pistils kindly changing to confirm the pollen hit the targets 24hrs later.

 

 

 

 

[St0nA 425]

More interesting things from the desperate dozen.... So this plant was the one I would consider the runt.

 

It was clearly lagging behind the rest but it had tons of baby frost that lasted longer than everyone else. Buuuut.....this plant ....

 

 

 just hit a certain point and refuses to get any bigger. Like a pigmy, it's branching out but is like the miniature version of its siblings..........

 

 

It's hearty AF but an absolute pigmy mini. Lol.
