GC's 2016/17 outdoor season

[hayrolld]

Love the group shot! Since the seed development sounds like it is progressing well, it appears you will have a lovely next generation.

probably the hardest fact for me to accept is...that both Trump's & Abbott's positions of authority were given to them 'BY THE PEOPLE'...which means that...a large proportion of mainstream society think that its ok to have these very flawed individuals ruling them, leaves me with a very jaded view of humans in general

I agree about the disappointment in the people I share this country with. But you should remember that Hitler was elected too. We need to be less blindly divided - it is easier to point out problems and place blame than to fix them. Even if everyone can agree what is wrong, finding a path to somewhere better that is acceptable to groups with different priorities is tough.

what you state there is definitely what we need/have to do, though again even with recent history(last 100 yrs) as evident with Hitler/Trump it just shouldnt have been allowed to happen in the first place, as soon as solid flaws in both these peoples character were noted why weren't these people removed? it seems like its a case of 'The Emperor Wears No Clothes' with Trump, i reckon he could grab the Queen of UK on the clam & his followers would say 'yeah well...but he's got some good policies' FFS!!!, all the while the so-called decent people in positions of power are shutting their faces and saying nothing, i dont really go much on what celebs do or say but when Sir Richard Branson like Robert De Niro piped up with 'Trump is an embarrassment for the world' their stock just leaped up in my book, so few public figures are speaking out of the absurdity that this guy is in power!
bottom line for me is; the more i see of peoples mindset the more im convinced of the insanity inherent in every person...& im not saying im excluded...

thanks bro, i was concerned that the Cannarado Barney Rubble pollen may not have matched well with the strains it has pollinated, but the seeds are forming normally, last yrs pollen chuck with La Plata DGOG was not good, using males from 2 different strains 2 separate healthy DGOG females were pollinated...the seeds were very small & malformed, when grown out the offspring were very retarded in their growth patterns...either extreme dwarfism was evident or a plant 3' high with only 1 small bud on the end on each branch? bizzare!

 

[greencropper]

Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies pollinated via G.A.S. Cherry Sherbet male, seeds are developing well & hoping only about 3-4wks before beans are fully mature, a few whiteflies & other bugs on underside of leaves along for the ride!

If I make to Australia anytime soon you and I will need to have a couple beers and Js. I keep questioning how such important positions can be locked in despite clear signs that a crash is eminent. Where is the damn eject button? It does not make sense to let such interconnected, influential countries be tanked because a convincing campaign led to an undeserved win. Too many good people staying quiet or being brushed aside, while too many sheeple are led over the cliff with a smile.

Good news most of the strains are taking this season. When the kookie breath first hit, there was a lot of discussion about how to cross it. It was not survival minded to say the least, and I believe more of these super poly hybrids that isolate interesting traits may be so far from the base that they are near sterile. I did read similar comments from a couple og breeders that there is a sort of mismatch timing wse if you are going for healthy seeds. By using females that are a couple weeks ahead and a couple weeks behind the flowering time for the males you can find a more optimal window for seed fertility.

the guy(Trump) appears to hold no respect for anyone in the way he deals with people eg dismissal of James Comey, the way Trump talked about firing him was more like a school teacher would discipline an errant 12yr old schoolboy?
i do not know the exact requirements needed to launch a nuclear strike...but with Trumps finger on the button i can see the scenario with him stating...'well what the hell...they asked for it', in the offhand & erratic manner he deals with everyone & everything!

im thinking your right with these super poly poly poly hybrids, weird shit is going to happen!

 

[hayrolld]

I think the super hybrids might lead to some interesting recessive traits being discovered/isolated. I would like to see landrace strains being preserved, while these mutant oddities are chased.

i understand what you're saying, im not even a breeder but just a simple pollen chucker making poly-polyhybrids out of polyhybrids lol out of necessity, i havnt the time or desire to chase a certain strain type down as im happy with the variations offered by the poly-poly's except as what happened with the DGOG pollen chuck which was a total failure, but after the DGOG fiasco at least im aware now it may happen again...all the more reason to have as many different stud types in the chuck! i think there's serious breeders out there preserving the landrace types where they can, but definitely getting harder to find because of international travel & dissemination of non landrace types into every remote part of the globe

IHG Platinum Buffalo pheno #1 pollinated via Cannarado barney Rubble

IHG Platinum Buffalo pheno #2 pollinated via GDP x C99

 

[greencropper]

the GDP x C99 male used to cross with the above Plat Buff was an exceptionally vigorous & well formed male, thinking/hoping that this pollen chuck will be a standout when the offspring are grown out!

 

[greencropper]

Trichome Jungle Ginger Bread approx 18" high carrying beans from pollination via Cannarado Barney Rubble, this plant has been fairly lacklustre up until now, its starting to throw off a heavy syrupy medicinal cough linctus type of terpines profile
plant exhibits zero branching & since the Barney rubble has minimal branching im thinking the offspring will be totem pole types suitable for very close placement of plants together

 

[greencropper]

lower 2 pics - MK Ultra x C99 approx 4' high has been pollinated via GDP x C99, seeds are forming well, hoping to add some chunkiness & shorten flower time with this chuck, she be throwing out the burnt rubber/plastic terpines unique to the MK Ultra

lower 2 pics - lotsa people going on about the negatives of OGKB doing this or OGKB doing that?...but im very happy with this Tiramisu Cookies(OGKB pheno)approx 3' high, she be having a wonderful deep musky terpines present(wish i had the talent of Bob Zmuda in describing terpine profiles) & she is heavily pregnant with Barney Rubble's babies! with rockhard solid bud nuggets

 

[greencropper]

digging this Cannaventure Girl Scout Cookies mix(Bubba's Urkle Cookies pheno i hope), pollinated with Cannarado Barney Rubble

 

[hayrolld]

I think ogkb is much better as part of a hybrid than on its own. Despite all the reports on how hard to breed and weird mutations showing up, crosses with it, even down to just 25% ogkb, seem to produce a lot of fire plants.
That CV gsc is looking tasty

That's going to be a nice one. I have my eye on gas seeds but everything is sold out. No females on the cherry sherbet.

thanks man, theres 2 G.A.S. types left at the tude if you want them? there was only 2 males survived out of a total of 10 cherry sherbets germinated due to the heatwave, damn a lot of good types were wiped out at that time...hey you been pretty quiet lately? hope all is ok in your part of the world!

thanks yes that CV GSCM is a lovely plant, its got a heavy fruity syrup scent, another few weeks and beans should be formed...had to move them all back into a shed last nite cos of rain, got a 100W CFL on them 13D/11L(thats what they been getting outside till the sun comes out again)...not taking any chances with rain on those seeded buds!
those Tiramisu Cookies are all very different in the 3 examples growing out now & only the 1 with real OGKB traits showing, excited to see how the Bay Exclusives poly hybrid pack turns out next chuck season!
