Don’t get me wrong she has great traits but not something I kept around. I’m also not a big fan of the “skunk” profile, but her onion, vinegar, butthole funk smells and beautiful greasy resin production are her best traits... for me, she lacked character in her high, yielded little, and was super fussy to grow.How was the Hippy Slayer? I understand mediocre, but was hoping for details as to why.
I still get a giggle hearing "butthole funk" as a quality. We all have something though, right? The skunk profile is attractive to me.Don’t get me wrong she has great traits but not something I kept around.

Sure hope these get released again!Here's a couple buds from TKxIraqi #4 on the left, and #10 on the right. #4 seems to be more of an Iraqi leaner, with a floral like smell and marshmallow like taste. Very strong indica high on it that sets in quickly. #10 seems to be more TK leaning, with a nice OG fuel like smell & taste to it. Knew from the get go this one has some potential. Really like a lot of what this cross offers. Will f2 these soon.

That looks beautiful!Red Lotus grown in one gallon coco/perlite. I didn't do any topping or LST, wanting to see how she grew naturally. She grew TALL is how she grew -12" at flip, finishing at 52", on day 79, not including that extra little foxtail at the very top. Really pleased with everything except germination. I popped the whole pack, only one female out of the three that germed, but man she is a monster. Can only imagine how big she'd get outside in sunlight.

Agreed. I was thinking I should pop a few of those next, along with some Peach HP, and a few more Goldstar x Snow Lotus.That looks beautiful!
Any of the Lemon lotus turn out for you outside? Did you make more seed from it?Agreed. I was thinking I should pop a few of those next, along with some Peach HP, and a few more Goldstar x Snow Lotus.
I got a free pack of those. Maybe next timeAny of the Lemon lotus turn out for you outside? Did you make more seed from it?
I had one survive a vicious attack. They were visited/found and chopped down, and left. One wasn't cut all the way through. It survived, but it's hideous. I haven't found any seeds, though still hanging to dry.Any of the Lemon lotus turn out for you outside? Did you make more seed from it?
Thanks for the update and great to hear you have a spot for next year. That sucks they were found and messed with. Most of the lemon lotus i had were around 10 weeks inside with a few quicker phenos.I had one survive a vicious attack. They were visited/found and chopped down, and left.

My other patch(Blackberry Spacewreck) looked like I was never there.
Edit: On a high note, the finished plant looked to be mold/pest free, and was finished or within a week of finish..picked the 18th in southern Michigan near Indiana line. I have a secure location for next season, so that's good too.
I shouod run some indoors too, I think I've only got 4-5 beans left. That's why I was hoping to f2 the outdoor this year.Thanks for the update and great to hear you have a spot for next year.

Great honest report from someone that has actually run the proper amount of plants to have an opinion on eAch. I appreciate the honesty. Did you make the F2 Goji?Regarding the Hashplant, I hated basically every Hashplant leaning pheno of each cross. After looking back, the keepers were mom leaning in terps/high but the Hashplant dad cleaned up the structure and vigor.
The jalapeño smelling Hashplant leaning Clusterfunk I posted a while back had the most underwhelming, un-enjoyable, weird high. I also notice that the offensive/rank Hashplant terpenes are completely lost in the cure, so don’t base your selection on the smell of the living plant. Same deal with the Hashplant leaning black triangle and Peach Hashplant.
The final keepers from my last run were:
Peach Hashplant 3
Electric Cowboy 4
Cherry SSDD 1
That is 3 out of 75 females. Everything else is gone. The Electric Cowboy is hands down the absolute best plant out of the group. Nasty oil/metallic brake cleaner smells with earthiness on the back end after cure. The smells are as good or better than the best GMO cuts I have run across, but the high is far superior since it doesn’t have a sedating effect. It’s an OG type uplift/relaxed high without the harsh comedown/sedating effects that often plague hybrids.
Peach Hashplant cured with a spice nose up front, and peach terpenes on the grind. The nose translates to the smoke with some sweetness on the palette. The high is uplifting and focused, and I was told it was daytime smoke by everyone who tested it. No crash after the daytime effects.
Cherry SSDD is the Cherry Sativa cross. It’s not even close to being a Sativa. It cured up smelling like buttered muffins. It’s a very light, delicate terpene profile but is very very nice. The high is delayed, but hits with a wave of relaxation and slight sedation. Headspace is uplifting and happy, a go-to after a long day at work. Puts me right to sleep since the headspace is so relaxing.
Each one of these keepers has something special about them that justifies their space in the mother room. There were lots of plants with frost, big yields, interesting smells, and great growth characteristics.. But when it came to the high, most of them just didn’t hit the right notes. I need to FEEL good during the high. I found that a lot of these plants just got me stoned but didn’t make me feel “special” in any way.
So after 2 months of testing and lots of bad bud, I have my keepers and have been able to compare them to the older cuts in my stable. My thoughts are as follows:
Goji OG F2 is still the absolute best cut I have and the best cannabis I have ever used. Clear headed uplifting high, and just experiencing the damn high makes me laugh about how good it is. I vaped it for the last 2 nights and laughed while saying “all that hunting and Goji is still the best, dammit!”
Cherry Lotus is still a trippy, uplifting, afghani resin factory with auditory effects that I haven’t experienced in any other plant.
Yeah that is it. I got rid of everything else.
I’m running another hunt that will be finishing up at the end of November. It’s all Doc D gear but is either Bandaid Haze, or related to the Bandaid Haze #7 cut. Ill be honest and say that these plants have the best growth characteristics that I have ever seen from a seed hunt. Literally zero herm traits out of 56 females and they are all loud. I think the reason is because everything in that room is crossed with a female that is just a few generations from landrace. The stability is jaw dropping and made me realize how much absolute trash there is in circulation.
Now, I’m gonna go stock up on snow lotus crosses because those seem to really agree with me.
