Good day growers! So a little more if you’re interested....
-Born in New Brunswick and raised in Nova Scotia Canada
-Could never grow for real mainly because I had no place to dry and cure
-25 years smoking but 20 of them were unknown weed. Just a regular dealer who had good weed lol
-Now in Ontario zone 5A. Started indoors 5 years ago with mostly Canuk and Crop King versions of White Widow
-2019 I went outdoor with some Canuk Strains and Barney’s strains
-Harvested a Jack Herer fem that I was unsure of as it didn’t have the peppery smell I expected was way more fruity and super delicious. Honestly I thought of fruit loops.
-Smoked a friend Wonka Bars and felt the same high and loved it. Sativa’s kinda scared me off after a super potent Sour Diesel caused me some anxiety attacks and rapid weight loss. (Should market that haha)
-Discovered wonka bars was a Jack Herer descendant! That’s when I learned about the Pineapple and the Brothers Grimm connection with C99
-Started gaining a very strong interest in true genetics
-Mind Blown. My first dispensary visit is still a blur in my memory. Truly like a kid in a candy store, a whole new world, THIS has now become a whole new universe. So much research and reading now that the growing season is over. It started with building my own organic soil and adding amendments so I could “just add water” but that wasn’t enough fun for me. Soon I was brewing compost teas until that wasn’t enough so I starting brewing seed sprouted teas and rotating weekly feedings. Learning about microbes and living soils. So much fun. It’s a true passion. How can you not be at complete peace when you’re in the garden.
-Anyways, sorry fk I was trying to avoid writing a novel. All of this searching and reasearching and a growing desire to preserve true genetics led me to MikeJ. The quote I found said something like “not well known in the seedbank world but very well known in the breeding world”. That was all I needed to see to check out his site. His strains looked so appealing to me but no prices and well you guys know how the rest goes. C99 baby!!!! Fuck ya!!! So far I’ve got some C99, Blueberry, Northerberry and Sweet C99. I can’t stop lol. Just ordered the Texada Skunk x C99 , Sweet Skunk x Haze and the Haze x C99. Had to jump on those after reading you guys were disappointed he didn’t have them a couple years back.
So the purpose of this post was obviously to learn as much as possible about Mike’s strains but also to see if there were any other Canadian growers and of course in particular south eastern Ontario Zone 5A. I recall coming accross a few I’ll just have to scroll back a bit as I can’t remember names but I want you all to know I truly appreciate every bit of info you guys have shared here. Looking forward to some more grow talk over the winter. I can’t wait to start running some selections as I’m going to run both indoor and outdoor if all goes well.
Everyone
