Seed vault jailbreak - genes gone wild

Contemplating changing up our germination schedule again.

A commercial grower just shared some test results with us yesterday and I'm waiting for them to send me the actual paperwork. According to them, our Vintage Pakistani tested at 15%THC/15%CBD for that awesome 1:1 ratio. I had a feeling the VP had CBD in it and glad they found it in the testing. Dread Bread came in a whopping 20%THC/23%CBD! Once I get the paperwork I'll post the actual results here and in the Bodhi thread so folks know.

If this is the case, that we already have a couple high 1:1 ratio THC/CBD strains, we can delay running the Ethiopian Paintbrush & Huckleberry Web. Once we identify a few more high CBD cultivars, we will plan on doing a high CBD seed run for folks and give them out as freebies for the local community.

Now I think we'll focus on finding more hard hitting strains, fast finishers, and running the pollen chucks to look for standouts.

Too Buku #22 here at 51 days in a 1 gallon pot under a Timber LED.

Can't edit the post above, #161, but I got to see the results and they're a little different, but still good.

Vintage Pakistani came in at 15%THC and only .06% CBD (.48% CBGa & .94 d9 THC) for 17.61% total cannabinoid
Dread Bread came in at 17.5% THC and only .06% CBD (.4 % CBGa & 1.08 d9 THC) for 20.44% total cannabinoid

So that means the high CBD ratio pheno hunt is back on Going to soak God's Paintbrush next, which has the same dad as Dread Bread. Then onto Huckleberry Web.

Too Buku #26 at 51 days. Not the best pic, will try to get more in a few days before the karate chop.

I thought that I would share my update. The clones have been in the Earthboxes for about 2 days now and the Grokashi started to make the mycelium mat already. I will then topdress it with crab, barley, and Malibu compost in that order. For the earthboxes, I cut HappyFrog in half with Promix(BX myco) and added EM1 and FPJ to the reservoir. Next step is to build a screen... The Duct tape is an eyesore, but they won't be visible for long.

Pretty awesome! I swear this looks like my old setup. First thing I thought when I saw the pics is how cool it looks and they should jump up pretty quick. I would be worried about the black plastic getting too hot and would have used the white side up. But once you get a canopy the light won't hit the plastic as much. Are you going to water into the tubes the whole grow?

Found an old pic:


btw - I had to scrap the plastic soil covers at some point because I started to get some powdery mildew. But I wasn't using any growkashi stuff. That might help keep PM down but not sure.

Talking about popping old seeds...just saw this article where they popped 2000 year old seeds. Now I really feel like an idiot for not being able to pop 10 year old seeds lol. Pretty cool though it's like going back in time with that plant.

We had a gender reveal party the other day on 4 of the last 5 remaining Strawberries & Cream f2s from Exotic Genetix. 3 came up pink and the last one was blue. Glad we have at least 3 females to flower out to see what the hype is all about. I have to say that 4 of the last 5 plants are all pretty weak/slow veggers compared to almost everything else. The clones will hopefully do better than the OGs (original plants from seed).

5 of the God's Paintbrush have broken ground so far. One has 3 cotyledons + 3 bladed leaves. Pretty cool.



Just dropped the Huckleberry Web beans in water yesterday. About to sow them later today. I have to say, Dynasty wins the best packaging contest. Don't stare at it too long or it will give you flashbacks.



Next up: Goat Fuel (Sannie's Jack x Kandahar Afghan)
TK x Iraqi
King 91X (King's Banner XIII x '91 Christmas)

Jar of some Too Buku #26 that was just harvested in our "home grow" suggested setup. All the TB26 tops get that pointy tip. Smells are very unique and hard to pinpoint. Like a sour/citrus smell on top of a pina colada and some sandlewood in there. High is a fun go do stuff high but it can lead to couch lock if smoked at night or if you smoke too much. f2s on these will be an interesting trip.



@MustangStudFarm - how are all the plants doing since transplant? They all catch on yet?

Man, they look great. I've been busy building a worm farm in my backyard. I've been digging up tree stumps with a shovel and axe, so I'm sitting here sore lol. I've been talking with my wife and a worm farm just sounded like a really good idea because I was trying to buy in bulk locally and I couldn't find any. The market looks wide open for a worm farmer in our area. I was seriously ready to spend over $600 on a cubic yard of castings, but I couldn't get any of these local guys to respond to my bulk order... My plants look great really, but my lights just went out. I'll take pics tonight when my lights come back on.

Sounds like a lot of good hard work. Good thinking on the worm farm. Making your own is so easy and less wasteful. I mean how many pounds of food scraps, let alone coffee grinds do I throw away each year? More than enough for the worms to much on. Glad to hear the plants are looking good.

My new worm bin is going to hold over 540 gallons or 2.67 cubic yards. I left enough room to expand too. I'll take pics after I finish building it, it shouldn't take too much longer. Anyways, I put these in Earthboxes on Feb 21st and most of them have taken off.

Looking really good. All nice bushy growth. You might need to change your name to "The Worm Guy" or something with all those worms lol. Sounds like an epic worm garden. Will yours have a 2 chamber deal to allow the black soldier flies (bsf)?

BSF show up on their own and I always welcome them. They eat and compost faster than worms. Plus, they are not as picky of eaters. I bought my rock dust in bulk and I have 4 different kinds: Basalt, Azomite, Greensand, and Oyster shell flour. All of these trees that I am cutting down would make great biochar and I will start making a charcoal retort after I finish my bin. I think that a worm farm would do really well in Oklahoma if the EWC was made the right way.

God's Paintbrush didn't germ that great and we only got 6 of the 12 to sprout.
4 out of 7 of the Goat Fuel sprouted.
10 of 12 of the Huckleberry Web sprouted.
3 of 3 of the Monk Juice v1 sprouted.
7 King 91X (King's Banner XIII #8 x '91 Christmas) in the steam room.

The TK x Iraqis are taking a few laps in the pool right now and have a date with the steam room tonight. We were chatting the other day about the TK and how many breeders are using it and how many of the HYPE strains have the TK in them. You would think TK would get played out but it seems to change up so much depending on the dad. This Iraqi dad I think might be one of the best stable genetics-wise. Really hope to find a nice male from this line. Def going to f2.

Next up is:
Grey Area (Too Buku #26 x Big Sur Holy Weed)
Granny Skunk
Kandahar 91X (Kandahar Afghan x '91 Christmas)
Purple Star

Will try to get a few pics up soon of the Strawberry showdown going on. All about 4 weeks flowering:
3 x Strawberries & Cream f2s - one of them is super frosty at 4 weeks and stands out. all have a Captain Crunch berry in cereal smell
5 x Strawberry Cough - all looking/smelling similar. smells like a fresh strawberry just picked off the plant
3 x Strawberry Goji - one is super frosty and stands out. All smell like a strawberry syrup.

I started flowering on March 15th, so I'm just a couple of weeks in. I know it's kind of boring... Each one is different, so I expected a big variation in size.


Vintage Pakistani is a fast grower. One of the thirstiest that I have...


Love Triangle is probably the happiest in the garden. Not the biggest, but looks the happiest.


Dread Bread on the left and Pineapple Thai on the right. They both were growing into my light, so the Thai on the RT got a little burn on the leaves. Both of these are probably going to be good outdoor plants.


Pineapple Thai in front and Too Buku in the back. They both look like they stretch too much for indoor. However, I'm not that good at training plants yet. I think that I spent my time doing soil research and it's hard to master all aspects of growing lol.


I didn't list every plant that I have, but all 12 are from the Oklahoma Clone Company.

Nice! They are all exploding in there! Looking good!

One thing you can do to control them getting to the light is to top them or train the stems. To train them, just bend (but don't snap/break) the stem to a 90 degree angle and it will start growing horizontal for awhile. Yeah, the Too Buku gets a little stretchier than I would like and you have to stake the floppy buds on her but it's worth it! She yields great.

Looking at your pics, they vegged out nice and bushy, but there is a lot of light not getting through under the canopy. This can cause mold/powdery mildew pretty easily. Make sure you have adequate air flow down there and you definitely want to defoliate down there so it's nice and bright and airy. Those lower fan leaves that aren't soaking up light, are just draining the plant of energy.

Here's the Purple Monkey Ghani at 57 days flower. Rock hard nugs and a nice combo of smells between the Monkey Balls and the Kandahar Afghan dad. Like a skunky, dirty sock, chem funky smell.


7 out of 7 Grea Area beans have sprouted.
13 out of 13 Granny Skunks have sprouted up.

Switching up the schedule again, next up is:
King 91X (King's Banner XIII #8 x '91 Christmas)
Hawaiian x Columbian x Afghani from Bodhi.
Purple Monkey Ghani (going to pop all the rest of the seeds to make f2s sometime around 2021)

He said smells between the monkey balls! lol
Sorry, turned 13 for a minute.... Hahahaha

seriously killing it though, as usual!
