Agent Orange x 818 Headband "How High Medium" Journal-from seed

A breeder friend of mine is dropping off seeds from a cross he did with his Agent Orange male and my 818 Headband female. His Agent Orange male is 1 of only two males he uses for his crosses and after sampling many of his genetics since being here in MI, I am very excited to see the phenotype's these seeds will produce. My 818 is my keeper pheno from 2 packs I popped about 14 months ago, and was one of IMO 6 keepers from the two packs.

The catch is that these seeds will be going into my usual Pro-Mix medium mixed with a little bit of my fathers ashes. If I get a keeper from these seeds I intend to name it after him in his honor, since he was a heavy cannabis user, while he was alive.

The seeds will be germinated Tuesday night and I will begin documenting every step of this process from there. This journal will not be as pic heavy as my experiment tent journey, because I find starting seeds and the veg cycle to be very boring.

I got around 40 of these, but I like to stay within my plant count, so I'm just going to start 8 for now, and start another group in a month or so once any males are weeded out.

Ok so here we are Day 4 from the initial germination.




Last pic is of two SinMint Cookie beans that I'm starting too.

Sorry I need to correct the genetic lineage of the father. I was under the impression that it was just a pure Agent Orange male, since that's how my friend has always referenced it. Come to find out it is actually a male plant from his last cross(Agent Orange male x (Ghost OG(Dr.Greenthumb) F x Chemo M) female). He told me he decided to scrap his old Agent Orange male for this male since it had a better structure and had a higher production of trichomes compared to the old male.

So the genetic lineage for this cross will be

(Agent Orange x (Ghost OG x Chemo)) X 818 Headband

Nice setup bro will def be watching this. It's always good to see someone growing something that not of the norm. The name of that OG x Chemo strain is Oh Zone from Dr Greenthumb. Should be a very nice cross that is kush dom. Watching the SinMints too. Gonna be doing some Platinum Delights next round

Well after a few days I'm going to declare that one of the beans is not going to break ground :(

Damn that sucks bro. Sorry about the death but it happens. I had my last White Widow that I loved to death die on me after sprouting. Partially my fault too but just gotta keep on moving bro keep growing. I'm sure you will get something out of the other beans you have. I'm here I'll be watching

I had a feeling I should have soaked that one some more since the shell was only slightly cracked but yeah it happens. Everything else is off to a nice start. SinMints are even working on their next set of leafs already.

I'm excited to see the SinMints. I'm gonna grab some of those soon and run them next to the Platinum Delights and see how they compare. I need a freakin warehouse so I could do some amazing things. Cant wait to get this new house next year so I can do a lil breeding on my own.

Oh I would say too wait a couple more days I've had some that seem like they don't wanna sprout then finally show up (: but if you think its done then oh well

Yeah I'm gonna leave it there until they need water again 3-4 days, so we shall see.

The sinmints were just a test of NGR seed bank's service, but it seems like a great cross!. I'm going to make an order for some Rare Dankness Rug Burn OG in a few weeks from them, and further my search for a new strain to run along side the 818. Hopefully in the spring I will have a few keeper phenos from all the seeds.

NGR is good. I've been doing my business with them lately and will continue to do so. I tell people that's thinking about ordering and people that have ordered who've had some problems that its only one person doing everything so you have to cut NGR some slack. I'm sure all the orders he's getting its hard to keep things up by yourself but I like em. Don't have to worry about customs snagging either:clap:

Seedlings are coming along great. I finally gave up on the one bean that didn't break ground though :(

I'll post pics tomorrow!

Sometimes we snooze. It's the name of the game. Glad everything is going well. Very interested in this cross. You may have to get some seeds of that cross he used to cross your 818 with to see how that grows.

Coming along very nicely bro. Can't wait to see what both strains do. I've seen a few SinMint grows but you have your setup dialed in so I really wanna see how they do for you.

Yeah I am almost equally excited for the SinMints. I have stayed away from cookies and other cookie crosses, but a grower I know is growing it out right now and it looks beautiful, with larger nugs than most cookie strains I have seen.

With the cross I really just want to have something that is as potent and decently yielding like the HB but without being so lanky.

I've been wanting to grow cookies or a good cookie cross for a min now and just haven't be a me to yet. I have beans but kinda torn between what I should run as I will be running that up until spring until I move. Just got word that I'm gonna get some Bodhi testers so what I was gonna run is gonna get out on the back burner till I complete my test grow.

I may just run something that I have in my small veg box just to see what phenos I have to choose from. I do know one thing for sure the Blue Power the the Forum is crossed with is very indica dom so you shouldn't get a very lanky pheno. Once they get bigger you will be able to really the Blue Power dom pheno as it has really big fat indica leaves

Everything is looking good 19 days after germination. Growth is really starting to take off and I will probably transplant them into 1 gallon pots by the end of the week, now that they are needing water every 2-3 days.

Post pics tomorrow.

Coming up on 4 weeks from germination. Pre-transplant pics, and putting them in the 1200w veg tent. There about 10" right now.
