Looking good, post those buds when they're cured . I want to see if it looks anything like the sensi star that was around back home.

Hey all, would love to see what other Canucks are running, good idea!

1x Flower Room (CMH from 420w to 630w depending on footprints) dedicated strictly for flowering 4 'x 9.5' x 7.5'H
1x 2x2' Tent (LED 200w COBs) used for pheno hunts and breeding (currently have 2x Fireballs males flowering in there)
1x 2x4x5.5' DIY Veg Cabinet (LG 200w actual LED)
1x 2x4x5' Veg Tent (LG 200w actual LED)

Cheers @torontomeds some nice buds you got there on that sensi star. I've seen it run a few times, do you recommend it? Is it a regular in your garden?
Hey bro, this is my personal first run with it, but my close buddy ran it in the states in a prime market back in 06 and it was getting picked by the consumers over Sour D and Haze (both my fav) the batch back then was super killer, the batch now smells the same and looks the same, will have to wait on the smoke report next week to know for sure, but I can tell you I will keep it around for now, because based on what it is doing so far, it is a producer, it is different then the same ol kush going around and it has a sweet pungent smell that will make kush heads turn.

Nice, will look for the smoke report. Will have to add it to my wish list, the list that never ends - lol

@realmeduser what strain is that your running, it kind of looks like a Sour related plant.
I have no idea what it is, it smells fruity and skunky at the same time. peachy/blueberry type of fruity. I bought thirty clones from a club about five years ago, and ended up keeping a few of the best ones which became my starting point, I take one clone off each plant before flowering, so I have essentially kept the same batch of plants going for five years now. Still gets me as high today as the first crop of them.
The initial tray of clones was a variety of unlabeled strains (with thrips) and I have not had contact with those guys since then.

Been wanting to run this Fireballs strain (not even in seedfinder, it's only available through Breeders Boutique, genuity in here gifted it to them). I've seen a few run on this site and it looks and sounds like fire.

Ran 5 seeds, 4 broke soil, 2 got culled at different points and was going to flower these out, then they finally sexed and were both males. Outstanding smell and very nice structure. Both are different phenos but both smell incredible so flowering them out in 2gal's to collect their pollen and do some chucking with them while I grow out a few more to find a female. Dank smelling males, had to pull the Ona bucket out for these one's :)

Looking good gentlemen!

ATM I am doing some pheno hunting myself with the F1 of (Brazilian Sativa x Southern India Indica) x unknown Sativa. Im calling it Bali Raj!
IMG_2383.jpg

Later I will do some I will do more pheno hunting with the F1's of SSH x unknown Sativa, Im calling those Kali Mara.

In the spring I have plans for some autos outside, Dutch Passion's Think Different and White Widow.

Spring 2016 will also see an indoor seed run and pheno hunting of the Real Seed Co's Lebanese. I have had these beans for so long waiting for the right time to grow them out and seed them up. Super stocked for these.

^^ Real Seed Company; Lebanese (stock photo, not mine)


And if there is time I will be doing some Ukhrul, a compact Sativa by TRSC as well,,, but that may be selling myself short. I may have to wait till next winter or 2017 to get into these.

Hope everyone here has the best damn year of their life. Happy growin.

Some damn fine looking Canadian buds :) Pheno hunts are fun, just starting a hunt through F2's of my Blue Ripper cross (JTR x Blueberry) to see what I can find, have the male that fathered these F2's cloned and waiting for F3 potentials. 3x initial testers to see if the seeds were ready at Day 20 and 12x at Day 9. The little runt in the second pic was sitting under a platform getting no light and was "culled" because it wasn't going anywhere, cleaning up yesterday I found it growing and battered but still alive, she makes lucky 13 in that batch :)
