Chocolate Diesel with branches on fan leaf stems. It had problems early on in a mix that had issues. She was transplanted into some FFOF and is doing better now. In the second pic there is a stem in the blurry background, the one (sort of) in focus actually has the beginnings of a second site on the same stem a little closer to the fan leaves. Im no photographer.

Crocus bulbs? Is that still being used on pot? LOL I know you were joking but I do remember a story from High Times years ago about a guy who crossed pot with marigolds or some other flower, he did it using the crocus bulb to splice genes. Now I suppose if someone in the pot bizz gets their hands on CRISPR things could get really weird fast.

I looked at Norstar Genetics. On the surface their strains look real interesting. Hell I even bought one of their Tangie hybrids. When I looked a little deeper. I found out he did 8 or 10 Tangie hybrids. I found they do series of strains. They take ones strain and cross it with 10 or so other strains. Then they do it again with another strain. It is not like they have 2 or 3 series They have at least 10. I can't see them doing it all well.

Yes there is a good chance there is going to be a great strain or 2 and probably lots of star plants. Why the hell should growers be their test dummies. That is one of the reasons I tried Useful. He is working with genetics he knows well.

No crocus bulbs in there. It was way too high in calcium and sulfur, had a soil savvy test done.

I was joking . But yes the polyploidy happens easy with crocus juice. I have only ever seen the petiole stem/flowers with some poly type seeds from a guy in mendo that messed with that..

Good afternoon all. Been watching this thread for a while and really like what I see. Definitely going to stick some Useful in my annual 4/20 order this year.

I got some Chocolate Trip F3 freebies a couple of years ago with a GLG order and really want to try them out. Has anybody here run these and can give me any tips or ideas what to expect?

Two BOO's, 7 weeks from 12/12. Getting more orange aroma with stem rub, especially for #1. Trichs on both are mostly cloudy, so starting to think about chopping. The waiting is the hardest part....

BOO #1, allowed to do it's own thang.

BOO #2, had some LST.

Nice. I would give them a bit more time. Mine are a bit farther along (Week 8 or so) and still putting on more weight. No sign of amber yet on mine. One of mine has had great orange all the way through flower. I have one that is just now starting to smell. Like yours it took a while to develop. I am hoping it gets stronger as it finishes. Don't rush it now. I know the waiting is hard. I want to try a test bud so bad it is killing me LMAO. And I' ahead of you LOL.

Looking good! One thing, after seeing the various BOO pics: they seem to be healthy, vigorous growers.

I was surveying the grow this morning. They don't appear to be adding much more bulk and I do like to harvest before there's much amber in the trichs. BOO #2's chocolate/purple color has really intensified in the past couple of days and starting to see a little more of that in BOO #1. Not sure what it all means but will probably hold off until eight weeks, which is next Wednesday, and re-evaluate then. Figure the plants will let us know when it's time....

About a week ago, I snipped a small, lower bud from BOO #1. Even with a crude, two day open air dry, the smoke was pretty smooth, had good flavor and a nice, uplifting buzz. By all indications, this is going to be some *really* nice smoke. I'd be inclined to reveg one as a mother for cloning, if not for all the other super interesting Useful seeds that I want to try. Curses!! Anyway, stop beating yourself up and try a test bud - for quality control purposes ;-)
