Great success! 8/9 popped (had one ‘91 Oranges that didn’t germ). All the testers popped as well. Here’s some pics just to toss up! This week my 15 gal final pots will be started up and cover crop planted, so that in approx 2 weeks hopefully the soil has developed a nice hospitable, microbe-rich environment for my sprouts to call home.

Here’s a few shots - nothing exciting, just just to share. Sorry I’ve been kinda MIA, been extremely busy juggling a lot of stuff. Cheers everyone!

This is day 4 since seeds wet.

Question for all of yous who have grown the choc d s1’s.

I bought the choc diesels in anticipation of opening a commercial grow this year, which is still happening, building is currently being built. I have a variety of S1’s from diff breeders, choc diesel from useful, ECSD from Heisenbeans, Golden Goat from Irie, to name a few. Basically, my dad has wanted to grow large scale since before it was legal to do so here. He’s not a smoker AT ALL, he’s just fascinated by the plant itself. So I told him if he got a setup built, I would help him get up and running, and show him how to grow, with the condition that i have a 1,000 sq feet to myself to do with as i wish. Once the grow is operational, i plan on popping a bunch of the S1 seeds and hunting for the best phenos, then keeping them as mother plants for breeding. However, I’m getting anxious to get my hands on some chocolate diesel. How stable are the seeds, and roughly what percentage are chocolate phenos? anytime ive ran S1 seeds before, ive gotten a very wide variety of phero’s, some of which were fire and some of which were doodoo. But it seems, from what I can tell, that people are having a lot of success with usefuls choc d. For a small personal run, where I would be popping just a couple seeds and keeping the flower for personal use, should I just go ahead and run a couple of the choc d? Or should I stick to crosses like I usually do with personal runs, and just wait till I have the room to really hunt through them? I have a pack of Chemdog 91 x choc diesel i can run if thats the better route.

I think that Chocolate Diesel is a wonderful strain. Good enough for Useful to use the pollen from one of his CD cuts as a very frequent pollen donor for MANY of his strains.

I hope that made sense, I’m high lol

haha. I dont doubt that the genetics are fire. Typically there’s a lot of variety with s1’s though, everything from plants that max out the genetic potential to the inbred offspring of kissing cousins. From what I’ve seen on this thread, it seems the CD is pretty consistent, despite being S1 seeds.

Popping seeds is the ultimate lottery ticket gamble in my opinion. But at least you most always get smoke out of it.

That said, it's so hard to guess what you would have better luck with crosses vs s1.

For a large commercial grow I'd suggest hunting down proven clones for production even if they cost a grip and then hunt through seeds on the side tip.

Then grab a few packs of those chocolate d s1 and run them all and you'll find something to run with any elite cut as well.

Cheers and best of luck

unplugged my 6" exhaust fan, left a few big upper ports OPEN.......my humidity is now 50-60% and temps up to 75 to 78.

The Orange Cookies X Choc diesel rocks on.......its 12" high with 6 huge sets of leaves, lol. She will be a month old on the 15th, just starting to get taller the past few days. Still cannot see any stem.

Will take a pic on the 15th....at one month old

Received my first pack of useful gear today. Mint chocolate trip. Don’t have room for much more atm only dropping one for now. Hoping for a fem. Been reading this thread for a few weeks and wanted to give useful a shot. Was a customer of another company that has thread on here. Not happy with their ethics and the thread is toxic. I still watch them for entertainment purposes though. :D

Everyone here seems chill and useful sounds invested in his business. Engaging with customers, freebie drops on the weekend and so forth. I’m thrilled to give my cash to a breeder that cares.
