I’m in Poteau.Like how east tahlequah
I gather these are some of the quality genetics you found. I would love to hear about any others you would recommend, as I am trying to hunt for exceptional quality as well!Yep, same boat. I chose not to renew this year and shut my little grow down. My situation was, I’d inherited my deceased family’s large commercial building, had enough cash to get some equipment, and no shortage of desire to grow and learn what I could while I could. Not everyday that opportunity comes along.
I knew the business side would be a challenge, so I was putting my effort into finding some really unique stuff grown organically that would “sell itself”. Ultimately, I did it because I wanted to pheno hunt on a scale I wouldn’t be able to otherwise. I expected it to sell better, but by the time I had any kind of decent product, the market was flooded. I had some primo harvests, and literally everything was done by me, down to the hand trimming and making custom bag tags. Had a pretty decent thing going for a couple years. I just couldn’t be ok with the prices dropping and the obvious lack of knowledge about or desire for true quality. The market seems completely ok with junk herb with no regard for quality. Not my market. There’s some things in this world that are worth finding the really good craft/high quality stuff and not settling for bottom or mids: coffee, dark chocolate, food, herb, water, wine, etc.
Have no regrets tho, got connected with some of my favorite breeders through IG and whatnot, and found some really good herb. Made a bunch of seeds, and now just have a few projects going at the house. Relieved to be out, not dealing with Metrc and all the bs. I wish things would really turn around and the market would value craft and high quality small-production, if only for the plant’s sake to be valued more, especially regarding pedigree. Each his own.
So I say, F the market, grow your own, and grow a variety of older and rare genetics instead of 10 different types of the same bottlenecked genetics and hype crap. Happy Monday folks View attachment 5177093View attachment 5177094View attachment 5177095
I dug a pond in my mother's backyard and hit water 6 ft down. It sucked because it was a muddy mess when I went to put the pond liner in.The guys that drilled my water well back in 2018 charged $15 a foot to drill. Once the Asians came around, he started charging $50 a ft. He had not done a residential drill for 3 years. All grow ops. That dude banked some serious cash. He’d drill a well and only get 4 gallons a min, those Asians would just say drill more wells. And hitting water is a crap shoot. We hit water at 79 ft, and drilled to the bottom of the aquifer at 225, set the pump at 195ft. Others may have to drill 300 ft before they hit water…. Do the math.
I'm just a personal garden grower who got into the history of genetics after I acquired a friend's seed bank. I always chuck pollen on a cola somewhere and have spent the last 4 years growing and selecting for outdoor success. I did start learning indoor as a winter hobby last year and am about using living soil and using rainwater and my homemade worm compost. I am looking for loud and strong, both sativa and indica, and preserving where I can, such as the Tom Hill's Pine Tar Kush I was fortunate enough to acquire. It is good to see other Okies on this same journey, though it may be years before this kind of boutique cannabis finds a viable market in our state, I believe it will one day. Just as craft beer and regional appelation wines have already. I doubt I will still be around, but maybe I can make a small contribution through some of the genetics I sift through, in my limited way.I’ve found good stuff from AK bean brains, serious seeds, lucky dog seed co, Bodhi, Thunderfudge, THSeeds, Humboldt Seed co, csi, and Crockett fam/DNA. Just depends on what you’re looking for. I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned and help you find what will suit you well.
And I’m not a breeder per se, but I did a fair bit of seed-making with a handful of males with good pedigree if you’re interested in any of my preservations.
What are you looking for most? Pain relief, sleep aid, energizing, easy growing, super loud terps, novel genetics, etc?
If you just want something that’s easy to grow and should reliably yield very resinous and medical herb, I’ve got my CBD Warlock x Northern Lites no1, and also crossed to Booty.
If you’re looking for super dank and potent, (White Fire x tk) x Hunza Valley91, WFTK x Booty, Booty x HV91, Gadzooks x Booty, and others.
Sativa? WFTK x TKNL5Haze Haze dominant, (Sunrise Thai x Chocolope) x Booty, or STCh x TKNL5Haze.
I have pics of pretty much all the parents

Crockett’s Haze
AKBB NL1 x ACC NL1 (AKBB)
This was properly pheno hunting through over 250 seeds; taking and keeping cuts, flowering them out, drying and testing, then deciding on whether to keep the cut or not. Of course, many either hermed or were obviously inferior. I found multiple keeper-worthy phenos in most of those packs. Ask me more questions.

100% about preserving. Ten years from now everything is going t be inbred polyhybrid hell. Actually it already is. I got mine. That's all I care about.I'm just a personal garden grower who got into the history of genetics after I acquired a friend's seed bank.

My sentiments as well. I doubt I’ll ever grow a cut from someone else. I’ll still buy novel seed lines occasionally, but have some really good building vblocks to look through for some time. Not enough lifetimes to grow everything one Would like. And there’s so many genuinely good breeders and preservationists out there to buy into all the “hype a x hype b” stuff.I'm just a personal garden grower who got into the history of genetics after I acquired a friend's seed bank.
