CSI humboldt thread

I'm so stoked on his TK crosses. got a grip!
Caleb did specifically mention to watch lowers on the TK cross as they are prone to balls sometimes. I would guess an OG x tk would bring that out more than say mendo p x TK or something along those lines. I grabbed some myself.

And i would have to agree i do think the lower population hunt of Chem 91 s1s probably isn't worth it and you better off running a hybrid. I personally haven't run the chem 91 gear so i should shut my mouth.

To touch on the Chem D.... the info gather is that Caleb a Chem D that is held really tight compared to some of the other chem d cuts that go around. Definitely prone for nanner and nanners in its progeny. it won't stop me from grabbing a pack of hybrids when he releases them. You know if he did Chem D s1s he has other strains he hit with it.

I grew out a few freebie packs of
Bubba Kush x Chem D S1's that CSI Humboldt had released about 3 years ago.
He told me he found some amazing gems in the Chem D S1's, but most were unstable to the point of not releasing them for sale.
I suppose people are braver today to mess with them and now he's released them.


He did with Big Bad Wolf.
Since he made the chem d s1s you know he has a stash of Strains x Chem D he made too. I bet hell have the Chem 91 x Chem D

Agreed. I def would be taking advantage of it I could. Just can't do it in my area.
Autoflowers mightwork short ass seasons but not as quality in many ways.
Thanks, I don't mind opinionated, I don't have 100 grows of experience, that's why I'm asking and mentioned the strains I was looking at hoping someone might chime in with experience with them as well. Didn't mean to help spread misinformation with my wording. Just wanted to try some nice csi urkle and old family purple without dropping too much cash and picking the wrong strains.
I think youll be all good with those two strains. Urkle is great tasting bud and I've seen some nice pics of the old family on ig.

If you want to get a nice purple, get urkle x t1000. Its basically a urkle bx1 since t1000 leans urkle. You cant go wrong with anything crossed to the t1000 IMO

That's going to be an awesome run man. I need more bubba cross in my stash. Youll have to keep us updated on how that goes.

Feel bad for your guys herm probs, I haven't had any, ran an eight foot muddog outdoors and found one seed, lol. Ran a bunch of 91s, no herms. And I never got herms on the chem d ever, lol. Ran the cut in Oregon and running crosses ever since, no herms. I guess it could be Caleb's genetics, he never says anything hardly about it on ig like you guys say he does, but who knows. I actually agree with Dr pandas post earlier, how can some never have the probs of herms yet other growers seem to have em every round? Very odd. Someone should ask caleb, lol. I suspect what some are calling full herms are not. Stress sacs, lol, from your growing skills
Lol

I have years of experience with cultivars from all over the world. Dozens and dozens of breeders. Full on hermaphrodites are rare yes, but intersex traits are not. There are definitely a lot of amateur hour growers on this forum causing a lot of their own problems. That being said, OG and chem can throw bananas especially on sites below the 5th or 6th node. It's just a reality. I do 1 gallon cocoa drain to waste and I'm sure how root bound my plants get might contribute to stress caused intersex traits, but I hardly ever get a seed. have you ever inspected every branch top to bottom? You really never find a banana ever? You must be a god. Because my flower from seed (not even keepers or elites) is smashing top shelf at almost every dispensary I've ever been to. Also, I hold a cut that I have seen dozens of growers fuck up on because it is hard to grow perfectly. Legendary mythical cock gobbler's ghost one pure kush. Mine always comes out better than anybody else's I've ever seen. Must be my growing skills lol The same skills/rooms that produce intersex traits on OG and chem lol lol lol lol

I've got at least 80 crops under my belt and I've had all sorts of herms over the years and they weren't caused by light leaks, well maybe a couple. :P

If you grow enough weed of unstable genetics
i.e. Chem, Thai, etc you'll find some too.

I am not anyone special, but I've had a few conversations with N$pecta over the years. Although he is much harder to get ahold of the last year, he is around occasionally to answer questions.
Here is N$pecta's take on the matter of Chem D.

Genetic Herms don't exist. "If you're having grow problems I feel bad for you son..." Jk lmao we know the truth

I really like Nspecta and he has my business for life. Another good way to chat with him, when you order leave him a message in the comments. He normally reads those.

Lemon tree S1 x zkittles. pic is from last day of week 3 in flower. Grown in living organic soil. I’ve also got bubblegum x GG4 & ghost OG x Humboldt snow running in the same tent.

also, FWIW, I grew out 4 Gator Baits a couple runs ago, which should be more prone to herm bc of the Chem and I would think the TK doesn’t help. These plants went through quite a bit of stress, between our tap water source going from ~100ppm to 400 ppm, which I’m assuming a lot of the extra was calcium because any plant that got that water would show magnesium deficiencies, to my roommates gf going through a phase where she would turn AC off and open all the windows, which in the Oklahoma summer will make RH skyrocket. Out of all 6 plants, I found about 5 seeds and they were all from same plant. I was expecting much worse. My next run, i’m debating between running big bad wolf or Rest In Peace

I am guessing those are for next year outdoors so he has similar packs to flip for the low low market...
Muddog sucked outdoors yea pm factory wasn’t something I did it is what it was I had over 15 other strains that is what muddog offers larf and pm with classic chem terps and indoors one pheno Hermd that one outside was better of the two the dedicated outdoor was shit such larf late finisher so I’d hold off on thinking muddog is good for outdoors because like I said out if 15+ strains that was one to not run again just cuz it’s strong and good terps Dosent make it not larf or late finisher

Exactly. Strong and flavorful. Otherwise larfy, leafy, and not super vigorous.
