Okkkkkay, well happy new year first up!
Then...
From lack of input I have started some seeds I had floating around that are a mixture of crosses between a Himalayan Blue Diesel (f) and: an Assassin (m), a Russian Rocket Fuel (m) and another HBD (m). Does anyone have any idea what these might be like? I basically pollinated the female just because I could and wasn't really that interested in Auto's, but I'm intrigued now as I soaked 70 of them and 68 have germinated! They are about 3 years old and were in a baggy in the bottom of a cupboard, crazy how so many were still viable!
I have also found some seeds I secreted away even longer ago: firstly a hybrid Cheese seed from an older and much worshipped grower friend, not sure of the male but the female was the clone only South West Destroyer cut which was sadly allowed to go extinct 6 weeks ago when the owner of the mother went to Nepal on a spiritual journey (fuck that 'exodus cut' in seed form, nothing like the true UK cheese...!
). 2 landrace Thai seeds (which were brought back for me by another friend), a seed from a purple pheno White Rhino which was uncharacteristically strong and a couple of novel crosses between NLx5 and something I don't recognise by smell, taste, high or sight. Promises to be interesting if nothing else, difference in flowering times might make a simultaneous grow somewhat irksome but I might try them anyway as can't be bothered to look for new strains when I have these on my desk. Although they are probably void now, youngest one in there must be 4 years old...
Will let you know how they take? (Everything but the auto's will be veganic).
