My mailman had a nice package for me today. After almost 2 weeks in customs, all was received in unopened, perfect condition. Well-done Attitude...once again.
Took 17 days to deliver, but there were several holidays (including 'Boxing Day' in the U.K.) and weekends where mail wasn't moving much at all, so all and all considering everything, they arrived right about when they always do.
Strains enclosed:
5-Pack THSeeds Burmese Kush (regular)
2 ThSeeds Burmese Kush (regular, UFO)
1 Cali Connection Buddha Tahoe OG Kush (regular)
1 Cali Connection Original Sour Diesel (regular)
2 GreenhouseSeeds Trainwreck (feminized)
2 THSeeds Wreckage (regular, UFO)
2 THSeeds SKunkage (regular, UFO)
All seeds look healthy and viable, a lotta tiger-striping on the seeds too, which I like to see. Tiger-striped seeds always seem to be a sign of a mature, fully-developed seed. I've noticed sativa or mostly sativa strains have little or no tiger-striping, which is interesting.
I hope I have better luck with these Cali Connection seeds than I did last year. I picked up 5 Larry OG Kush seeds last year, and only 2 cracked after germination, and of those two, only 1 popped up outta the ground...which ended up being male after flowering. I'm very familiar with germinating seeds, especially sativa's which are more finicky, so I'm pretty confident it wasn't an error on my part.
I was pretty disappointed in Cali Connection after last year's debacle, but gave them another chance this year with the Tahoe OG and Sour Diesel. Both of these new seeds look MUCH better than last year's Larry OG seeds, which were small, yellow, pale, and looked and grew like garbage.
Can't wait to grow these Burmese Kush again....it's fantastic smoke if you can get ahold of some. They don't produce much....they finish at about 4 feet max....but the nugs are nice and compact, and are the easiest plant I've ever harvested to trim...you just pluck the nuggets and whoala!...kind bud.
Also plan on breeding some Diesel Ryder with the Sour Diesel in an effort to beef up the strength of the Diesel Ryder, and hopefully creates a much quicker-flowering strain than original Sour Diesel normally is, but more potent than regular Diesel Ryder.
Plan on breeding (with any luck in getting a male) the Wreckage male with one of the Trainwreck feminized seeds, and then next year (2014), back-crossing this years resulting seeds from that cross (F1's) with the other Trainwreck fem (S1) I have. Hoping to create as close as possible to a pure-breeding Trainwreck as I can...with the amazingly strong-branching of the S.A.G.E.
Lastly, I wanna cross (with any luck in getting a male...I've got 7 chances) a Burmese Kush male with the Buddha Tahoe OG Kush feminized, with the hopes of producing an OG Kush cross (F1) that more closely resembles original OG Kush, while decreasing the flowering time.
I've got several grow sites miles and miles apart from each other, so I should be able to isolate each strains male pollen from any nearby females. I'll be using buckets/grow bags for all these seeds, so I can move them if/when necessary from intruders/rain/animals/etc.
These breeding projects are almost as important as all the other grow projects I have planned for 2013 (which are many), so even if yield from the finished females are low, my primary concern is obtaining several hundred healthy and viable F1's at the end of the year.
Can't wait for the spring to get here...it's gonna be a wild ride this season...stay tuned!
