The Daily Bud

Lets look at what now would be considered a selection thread. The only problem is I only pollinated enough for about 40 seeds so the first 15 used up a lot. I sent a few friends some but I don’t know where they might be. I sent Bog the rest I figured that X a bubblegum would be insane of flavor if stabilized. You are looking at my first cross and the criteria was only it had maroon stems and lemon berry sounded good to me! You can’t count me Crossing the male Jack Herer to the Cleaner Pheno it was the only way to preserve it and I only made a hand full of seeds.
We got some variation but at that time I didn’t know really why. I read everything I could and shortly before this run ended I had at least a plan to make the JC bx I just didn’t get a chance to follow through for 4 years. You can see I had some clue I had each female labeled and I took clones and budded each female under the same conditions to select the best. My male selection criteria was stupid Blue Color and a berry smell wow I still use the same simple ideas but now we work a male with many known females to determine his traits. This is one reason I re started with Space Queen as a male and why JTR is far superior over JCB.

We also got a sativa Pheno that STP dubbed Speed racer due to its hazsy speedy buzz. I think he grows it to this day. But the good news looking back I guess is 3 females were very similar. All were extremely potent and had a instant nap quality. I had many a friend take a few bong rips and pass out on my couch.

Sub that was a great story other then you getting busted by the pigs. On the # 980 post the first pic is frosty as hell . Great job and keep it up .

I met ~Shabang about this time and Tommy^2 left some Micanopy Moonbean aka Gainesville Green and he left some cuts in the fridge say 42 degrees F. back then we thought you had to snip, dip and root or it wouldn’t work the book all said that and Ed mentioned an air bubble and cloning underwater. We know that’s crap and cuts will live in the cooler for weeks and this allows us to not use moms! That’s right I said it I heard other breeders cringed at the thought it’s a simple process of making sure you have backs ups and a good cloning system. If you get 95% and you take 2 cuts your probably going to get both to live. Taking cuts from veg and storing in the time machine ( Refrigerator Crisper) until we root them and they become the next crop. Call it continuous moms.

You can see the small area here,

I was in Amsterdam in 1999 standing in line at the Blue Bird to buy some Malana Cream and some Thwizla Hash. The red haired dude there that works as a cutter was offering Warlock seeds from Magnus genetics for like 50 guilders a pack at the time a pack of AK-47 was 300$ so I grabbed a few packs. Iterestingly enough that same year the guy that created Great White Shark was selling 50 seeds for 25 Guilders should have bought a few thousand I guess. I have never been one to mince my words and I won’t stop now. While its unique strawberry smell gave it great buyer appeal the weed was shite and lacked any ready body or potency. Sure looked nice though!

I was harvesting so much weed back then I permanently smelled like a bud. When I left the house I kept smelling weed, seems the resin had permeated my skin or some shit. Thanks to AE I no longer grew little 16” tall plants but full size mommas fitted together to form a solid carpet of buds. I use the same basic method today but I allow much more room in between each plant and quantity isn’t my goal now but max quality. I no longer use c02 for a few reasons I have 3 kids in the home and we have more weed than we can smoke or give away now. Our laws prevent the sale of any meds so extra just gets turned into cookies and I have to trim it so we grow what we need.

Back then we tracked every gram and me and several friends competed for the largest show harvest I didn’t win btw I had a FNG run 16 JC under 2K in same rig with c02 and he vegged em to long. He pulled 74 zipps off 2K. Some of the qp’s were 4 buds zipps.

Apollo-13 BX

Apollo-13 X Vortex
Representing thousands of hours of selective breeding we proudly offer our first back cross of Apollo-13. Pain staking care was taken in the male selection and the project to locate him took 60 plants and over a year of research. The high is instant and powerful yet also invigorating and inspirational. Most of my writing is inspired by the THC profile of Apollo-13 as it provides a boost of mental energy. Apollo-13 is so prized for its Red Bubble Hash that many growers dream of processing the entire plant into Hash.
Simply stated I feel this is the best Cannabis produced in Seed Form!



1) Phenotypes- The Dominant Variation is a mirror of the mother plant
2) Height- Tall thin Sativa Look
3) Yield- Medium yield very resinous and sticky
4) Indoor/Outdoor
5) Best Way to Grow- Easy to shape and train allows any style of growing
6) Harvest Window-55-60 Days
7) Sativa/ Indica 85/15
Hybrid- Apollo 13 is a cross between Genius and P75 (a precursor to C99).
9)High type-.The high is clear and cerebral, without a hint of paranoia
10) Taste is almost indescribable, like Rotting fruit, citrus, and baby poo with a hint of pepper

thanks for the info on the fridge life of clones....I always thought it was 24hrs...now i'm stoked!!!

Thanks for the info on the clones Sub! I'm limited by law to the number I can grow and this helps. Now my system will work!

I ordered a couple packs of Apollo-13 x Vortex the other day. I guess that is the Apollo-13 Bx, at least I hope it is

I've run Jillybean a couple times and have a grow report link in my sig if you're interested in my results. Actually my avatar is a shot of Jilly too!

Great thread!

Peace!

I'm loving it Subcool. Amazing thread. I'm loving my flav and drying some vortex & JTR right now. I can't get over how amazing your strains are compared to other stuff i've grown. Keep doing what you are doing as the fruits of your labors are truely a work of art. I plan to grow some agent orange, pandoras box, third demension, querkle in the future.

Make you proud Querkle around day 56.

I had one that I thought was space queen dom. But, it turned purple like the last 10 days versus the other one in the pic which started turning purple like 20 days ago. I talked to sub he said he likes to chop around day 60 for the best tasting shit.

Hey Sub, It does smell absolutely amazing. I cant wait to smoke. Thanks for capturing the essence what you intended, and translating that to the consumer. Cant wait to try other strains you created.

I can't wait to afford all these lovely genetically-engineered strains!

dam saltrock, thats some amazing looking bud. that last pic looks a lot like Qrazy Train. +rep

Great looking budz/plants to all. I just started my first grow Bubba Kush/Bubbleberry/Blue Widow/Critical +/Roadrunner. I'll post picks when my girls start to bloom.
