I listen to everything I can from Duke. As far as his growing style these were some of the points I picked up on. I know this doesn't pertain to his genetics but hopefully this can help someone new starting out.

Dragon Fly Earth Medicine - Fat Flowers. Use through end of week 5.
Indonesian Bloom Bat Guano and earth worm casting Week 5 - 7. Once a week.
Supplementing sulfur either pure or via epsom salt in weeks 5/6/7 will benefit the terpene development and will take the terpene profile to potential. *Important*
Week 8 - organic cane sugar 2 table spoons / gallon. Used for fading at end of cycle.

ph water 6.4
ph down: lemon juice, lime juice
ph up: milk, baking soda

How to add calcium: dolomite lime
vital landscaping - calmag
How to add potassium: banana peels

Add microbes. Microbes plays a huge role in terpene production.

hydroton grow stones for aeration. 30% at bottom of pots.
2 inches of aeration.

metal halide last ten days from hps.
Good notes.
Proper earthworm castings and compost brings out what I want every time. I'll also add literally 1/12 of the synthetics a normal coco guy would pump into my mainly organic substrate as well. Bob Hemphill is another guy who's organic methods I like. He has three interiews on soundcloud and talks about his methods most on "Growing With Fishes Bob Hemphill Episode 199"
Oh and I like to get funky early on with Fish Hydrolysate. I'll do weird shit too when I'm high like top dressing and burying some organic oats, hit the substrate with some coconut sugar and top dressing with herbs I've already steeped and drank in my french press which seems to help with pathogens if you got the right herbs. mountainroseherbs is an amazing company for products.

I cant explain it scientifically, but yeah; using some organic nutes just amp up the flavor and terps when comparing them to straight-up synthetic salts. Ive done personal tests (again, not scientifically accurate by any means) by running straight synth, synth-org, and straight-up organic; and imo, the combo of the two was just killer... I remember one time I got suuuper into the combo's and started blending up lbs of fish guts n carcasses and sometimes fresh seaweed from my catches... Then I would digest it in phosphoric acid (sometimes sulfuric) and using that... Let me tell ya, the smell was atrocious, but hot damn did the terps come out from that...

Hell yeah brother! That's exactly what Aurora Innovations (roots organic) does and those bottles sell high.. Pretty much all they include is molasses, fish, seaweed, yucca, aminos and create 8 different products they make you buy. I'll have to get me some phosphoric acid. Well done.

I only have open packs so I’m not gonna waste your time. But if you’re interested in finding more chem/skunk/stinky phenos, look into Lucky Dog. I only grew a half pack of Hunza Valley (2nd half currently in veg) and while MY favorites were the Skelly-doms, I had a super gassy Chemmy pheno that ended up with str8 baby poo terps! Like I’m talking straight feces

I can’t fucking stand smelling the jar... but all my friends LOVE it, even compared to the Skelly-doms; which also gets them ripped

To keep this Duke-related... we’re all smoking Polecat91 as I type this. It’s a crowd-favorite but I havent found the terps you seek in my phenos.
What terps you getting from your pole cat at phenos ?

Diaper in a hot car terps. Probably the strongest weed I ever smoked in my life had that. Not my favorite high type by any means, but damn that shit would throw you for a loop. Giggles and loss of equilibrium, even distorted vision if you smoked more than a little. It was like being shit-faced drunk.

I can't wait to see your next batch of photos!

As for Duke retiring from seedmaking, that is a super bummer but understandable, to be honest. I can't imagine how disheartening it is to spend a ton of time and energy putting your passion into developing some killer genetics with all the riffraff out there.

I hope he takes a break and comes back strong.

Am I crazy to miss when this was all under the table a bit? :)
not even a little bit

Well, I fucked up.
I used some older bags of soil that had apparently been sitting around for too long and the resulting wonky PH cooked my four Local Skunks to death.
Six weeks into flower and there was nothing I could do to save them.
Save your keystrokes folks, trust me, I tried to save them, nothing could be done.
Honestly, I've been a little depressed about it, and avoiding my garden so I wouldn't have to see the carnage.
So they say "every time a door closes a window opens" and it may hold true here.
All of my Local Skunk girls are gone, caput, no flowers for me.

But...
I was just in my garden transplanting some seedlings, when I noticed that one of the Local Skunk #7 monster cropped cuttings had rooted, and was showing new growth.
I may have no Local Skunk flowers to vape this round, but, Local Skunk #7 was by far the best looking plant of the bunch at week 6.
When I make some Local Skunk IBL/F2 seeds in the fall, Local Skunk #7 will be the mother.
I wanted to be breeding by now, but I'm way behind on actual volume of buds thanks to that shitty soil, so until that's been rectified, breeding must wait.

She may not be pretty but she’s alive!

Local Skunk #7
Did you end up flowering out any Local Skunk? Wanted to hear what you thought of it.

Local Skunk is killer. Gas, Skunk, Flowers, and Hash. My friends loved it, though vs some of other strains its a slow grower. We also F2d ours. Reeks.
We also grew the Granny, and Dominion Skunk. They are all different, and have some extremely potent plants in the mix.

No, not yet.
I posted awhile back about most of my garden getting whipped out, and a tent of four flowering Local Skunks (from seed), was included in the carnage.
I was able to monster crop a single surviving cutting off of one of those unfortunate Local Skunks mentioned above.
Luckily, it was from the best looking plant of the bunch, and said cutting is just hitting the age of full motherhood now.
So I can take some normal clones off of her, aka Local Skunk #7, to run soon.
Now that I stop, and think about it, "soon" will probably be in the next week or so.
I will definitely keep you all updated.

Did you ever look into the "Grail SSH" - one of the parents of those freebies?
I can't confirm if it's Holy Grail (Mr. Nice) x SSH. His buddy made the Grail SSH is all I know and I can't find anything on it.
I got the Apollo Haze (Genius x Grail SSH) . If it's what I think it is then I'm real excited to do a big seed increase. Dragboat gave me some Death Star x Apollo 13 F4. Hoping to find an Apollo leaner for further work with the Apollo Haze F2s.

That is something I'm interested in. I would like to try something heavy in cbd but still having enough thc to get you there and preferably something sativa heavy.

My daytime smoke lately is one lady I picked from popping a pack of the Rev's black poison skunk. She brings motivation and appetite suppression to the table as well as a nice head buzz that is very functional for me but doesnt offer much in pain relief department.

I also have a couple diesel double back crosses from shoreline that are pretty nice but again doesnt do much for my pain. I've read that cbd is what brings the cherry scent/flavor. I know bodhi has a cherry sativa that he uses in a couple of his lines.

What stain does your high cbd plant come from?
sorry, I must’ve missed this. I can’t remember what the cbd plant was but thise nugs were so daggone potent. I do love that cherry, especially in concentrates. Those cherry dabs make me feel so good :) Such a nice relax.

Here's a couple of Chem D x C99 that I bought from auction a few years ago.
Week 8 and at least a couple more to go.

I picked these up before Duke Diamond had released Dominion Seeds to the seedbanks.
Wow, very nice. Very Chem dominant as well. How is she against mold? I did C99 years back and was always susceptible to PM. Princess 75 on the other hand was very resistant to mold.
