shoreline genetics

Texas Roadkill week 6. Fruity and not very frosty. No skunk smell at all. I know I'm gonna get some flack for this but honestly this is my second run growing shoreline gear and I think it is pretty bad genetics from what I've experienced. To be fair I haven't grown out too many plants but nothing I have has been good.

what strains have you grown and how many plants of each? I’ve been looking forward to growing his Texas Roadkill but the only reviews I’ve read about it weren’t very flattering, but said the smell was there. I plan on popping a whole pack to get a good idea of what’s in there. I've definitely seen a lot of people say good things about some of his other strains and seen some really beautiful plants though, so I’m still optimistic.

You get better results if you feed them more and give them some hps light. Plants should be a darker green.

Not to be rude but those don’t look like the healthiest plants. You can’t blame genetics on poor growing conditions.

I've grown 5 shoreline bx2, 3 bubba kush, and 3 Texas Roadkill. Half were males so I've grown out 5 females.

do you find that growing methods effect the skunk coming out? I know its been mentioned that when people started growing indoors vs outdoors and using salts instead of organics that they lost some of the smells that they were used to getting.
The breeder has always told me that Texas Shoreline (and crosses) prefer hydroponics with intense HPS. This makes sense as it was likely bred under these conditions originally back in the day. I have had luck with using a good, rich soil mix under 400 and 315 CMH. I have not tried to flower with LEDs yet. I add a little bit of sulfur to my soil mixes to try and help bring out the pungency also. I also use insect frass, good compost, EWC, and Aurora Roots organic dry mixes (a bit of all three of them).

Also, I found that it's very intolerant of anything less than ideal indoor conditions.

Outdoors is seriously hit or miss for me, as I'm growing at 8000+ ft. It really doesn't like cold, but I managed to pull in some ok buds this year too. Way better in a greenhouse or better still, indoors.

lol, yikes! I use soil with organic inputs under leds. I plan on trying earth boxes with these though, might scratch that hydro itch. Thanks for the info.

Are you just talking about shoreline or Texas roadkill/other strains?
