In the middle of the NL batch. In the last week had to slow up the seed starts as we make a bunch of clones for the local shops.

We're not going to hoard any genetics and will offer every "keeper" or elite clone we get (except those that are requested to stay in house of course) to the public. We'll even offer males upon request for those who want to make their own beans. So all my seed stock will be available in clone form eventually.

Started some Jack Light5 the other day. This is my version of a NL crossed with a sativa. The Sannies Jack grew huge colas and had a super clear head high. The NL5 influence will probably make the high a little more hazey I'm guessing. Would like a mix of the structures. NL5 stuff grows short (16-26" tall) with one thick totem pole of a bud, where as the Jack grows with 6+ big side branches with coke bottle size buds reaching for the sky.

After that I started some NL5xHaze beans from Swami and last night I started some Trichrome Technologies NL#6 x Appalachia from Bodhi.

Next up: Fouroura Borealis (Four Way x NL#1), z7 x Northern Light5, and 1 of these 3:
Nigerian Sunshine, Cherry Queen, or Durghancitral.

Thanks @lukio I put in a dm asking to be moved. I asked about starting an Oklahoma sticky for the medical patients board about 2 months ago and was told they would do it soon. It could take awhile :) It's okay I'm in no rush. Just watching my plants grow lol.

My seed addiction got the best of me the other day and I ordered the last pack of 88g13hp from Hazeman and a pack of Granny Skunk from Dominion. Duke Diamond seems like a pretty chill dude and his interview on The Dude Grows pushed me over the edge.

I stayed on track with my bean pop schedule. Started some Fouroura Borealis a few days ago and then some Zlight5. Zlight5 is a pollen chuck of the Z7 beens from CBD Crew I got crossed with Bodhi's Northern Light5 (or Bodhi Lights). Hope to find a nice 3:2 thc:cbd pheno. Next up I started an old pack of Ace of Spades from Sub. Also started up:
- Hood Mt. Goji OG (Mt. Hood Huckleberry x Goji OG) - really want some of these to sprout. praying!
- Panama from Cannabiogen
- Bright Moments from Gage Green.
- 1 bag seed from an 1/8 of Mango Sherbert (super fire crystal covered bud. smoked 2 seeds in the bud :/ and saved the last bugger).

Got this Sinai at 5 weeks out for a little photo shoot. She's seeded with about 5 Sinai males and about 10% got dusted with the 2 badass looking Petrolia Headstash males that bolted. I'm guessing she needs another 3-4 weeks. Will be handing these seeds out to anyone who wants them. Should be some cbd phenos in there and some cool f1s too.

Since last post we've started up: Chocolate Rain, Durganchitral, Pineapple Thai (707 Seeds), Caramel Cough, Nigerian Sunshine, Herijuana, and some Sannie's Jack f2's I made a few years back from Sannie's f7 version. Big lemony haze type plants. Great yielders and all were pretty uniform with not much variation in the group.

Surprise in the garden today!

I was just about to FIM a Sinai plant I transplanted a few days ago and noticed a cluster at the top:
View attachment 4252951

Then I noticed it had balls! It's an auto-flower male with a couple big balls. I found one more in the group (#2 & #4).

Not really interested in any auto flower seeds, so I'm just going to cull them. I wasn't expecting this, but they are a landrace strain and I've read some landraces act weird indoor under leds 18/6.

Nothing on The Real Seed Company website about this strain being auto. Can't find a thread on them in the seed reviews either, so I might start one in the next day or so if someone else hasn't already.

--- Anyone here grown Sinai or any other TRSC gear? ---

Happy Cold Moon to everyone. In the spirit, I'm soaking some Pineapple Lights. PL is a pollen chuck of mine consisting of (Pineapple Thai clone x Tahoe OG Kush CC) x ('89 noof cut x BCSC NL#5).

I grew one of these a few years ago outside and she increased the bud size and the structure of the Pineapple OG. Really hoping to get that pineapple taste and easy going high again in my garden.
It’s not an auto if the males pot restrict flower. It’s an outdoor bred line which never had roots touch the botttom of a pot. So it naturally will start to flower up some in hopes of making seed. It’s a self defense mechanism since it’s not used to getting restricted. Pot it up and let the roots spread and they will snap out of it.

Thanks @Dankonomics_genetics ... Perhaps you're right, but the males have all had their fun and have been put to rest. I'll try again with the f2s :)

Below is Sinai at 7 weeks. Someone needs to start up a RSC thread under seed and strain reviews! If I don't see one in the next few weeks I will :)

Had to try and pop my remaining Herijuana beans. If I don't get any I might not grow the strain again. Leave it up to fate.

Harvested a few different females (all grown in 3" square clone pots to test out) the last few days. Nikah, Gorilla Biscuit, Cosmic Serpent, Vintage Pakistani 1, and Kandahar Afghan. Will add some bud pics at some point. Here's a few.

Vintage Pakistani 1 #2 has the most red hair I can remember seeing. Some of these caught some pollen from males that were being tested in the next tent over so you'll see some seeds here and there. (posted this in the Bodhi thread yesterday)

I wondered what you thought of those beans and the smoke if applicable?
Great grow, nice to have so many great strains to consider growing.

one of my faves, sad to have lost it in a clone mix up so i might have to pick up another pack...it had such a nice perfumey rich velvety taste, i can almost taste it now! grab a pack if your thinking about it

Thanks for your perspective on the strain.
I feel it better to ask someone who smoked it rather than is selling the seeds.

Thanks! It's a long time in the making. Glad to get them all in the dirt. Felt guilty leaving them in those little baggies :)

Lol thanks.

I want to hear what you think Lukio about the Ghost OG vs the TK in the black triangle you're growing. Do you think you'll like the ghost better than the black triangle? Any similarities growing?

More bud shots and some first impressions on the phenos.

Vintage Pakistani 1 #1 - not as red hairy as #2 and a different smell. More of a slight floral to it (#2 losing the sweetness of the watermelon rind smell). Not enough experience to describe the high yet, but they both seem more of a clear headed sativa like high.
vp1 budshot.jpg

Cosmic Serpent #1 - high is about as strong as #8 with more of a sweet lively berry/Hawaiian punch smell to it than #8.
cs1 budshot.jpg

Nikah #3 - this is the most frosty of everything so far and has a nice soaring and disorienting high (the frost while it was growing isn't showing up that well in the bud on this pic). Smells of a little sour lemon like where the #7 has a more lemon square type pastry smell.

Here's one of some Vintage Pakistani 1 #2 in the jar. Real heady soaring sativa high. Smell after curing has lost most of the sweet where it almost smells like a cucumber now.
vp2 budshot.jpg

Next up I'm going to veg out a few clones to get them bigger for a seed run with one chosen Kandahar Afghan male to make f2s and an AfPak using the Vintage Pakistan #1 & #2 girls.

Plan to make a few thousand of these seeds to run through and give out. Should be some nice stuff to find in there.

Few more in flower:

Cinderella XX#2 @7wks - She's the ugly duckling that I'm not keeping, but she's turning into a nice looking flower.

Here's a pic of another plant I'm not keeping, but really seems cool - Hotspot #4 (Prayer Tower x WiFi Alien Kush) by BambooDan @4 weeks - interesting sweet bubble gum like smells with something else there I can't recognize atm. Pistils have that characteristic WiFi look to them.

Here's a quick pic of '89 Noof x BCSC NL#5 f2 (labeled 4NL9 from plant #4) at 7.5 weeks. The color is a little off from the LED in the background...the background is blue. But it shows some of the fade pretty good. Chem like smell to this one.

Not a keeper plant but just for some headstash running with the testers.
