shoreline genetics

Are you just talking about shoreline or Texas roadkill/other strains?
Just Shoreline OG but that made it's way into the other crosses and the Shoreline is a really dominant set of genetics in his line. I've run Sour D, Candyman, Shoreline OG, and a few other testers over the years, and have kept the Shoreline OG cut that whole time. I probably need to move on but I really like the old school skunk flavor and keep coming back. 8-)

That shoreline OG looks especially good, that was in an earth box?. I was originally going to pick up the shoreline bx but the breeder told me the Texas roadkill was the skunkiest strain he had so I grabbed that instead. He was nice enough to throw in a few packs of the shoreline bx too though so if I don’t find what I want this round I’ll try those beans next round.

Finding something I like enough to run over and over and get dialed in is the dream, but I guess it’s a double edged sword, so many seeds so little grow space.

There's a thread I think on icmag with the original grower of shoreline. It's from 2004 first mention and pictures of the original shoreline.
He grows ebb and flow tables. He does a side by side comparison only changing the nutes. Botanicare Pure Blend Pro on one table and General Hydroponics on the other. The bud structure is a lot different with different nutrients.

Hydro is better than dirt. Indoor is better than outdoor. Sativas do better in warmer temps with more humidity, they're more tropical than other strains. Flowering under 11/13 as opposed to 12/12 will also increase quality.
Texas Roadkill is a lighter green/ lime green compared to other varieties. I feed them heavy because they're always hungry.
Sodium light seems to trigger them and can speed up flowering time.
I’ve heard of finishing sativas off at 11/13 but you mean the entire flowering period?
Good to know about the roadkill, I use slow release amendments so I’ll go heavy.
Coco/perlite is also a good option. Maxibloom is a good one part nutrient that you can use in any medium, soil, coco, hydro.
I’ve never seen any strain come out better than the way I grow so I’m going to see what I can accomplish before I start switching things up. But I appreciate the info and I’ll definitely be posting how things go, so I give you permission to say “I told you so” if necessary.

Yes the flower room on 11/13 the whole time.

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 light has very little to do with the finished product, i left hps in the dust 6 years ago....led produces a bettet product. Better terps n density.. your plants are starving though. Ive grown out 5 rks.. its good smoke and moved quickly..more citrus and less roadkill tho

What led's do you use ?

Ordered a pack of ecsd and this is what I got. Very thankful for this breeders generosity. It will be interesting to run both diesels side by side. I haven’t grown a Bubba in 10 years or so either, will be nice to have a few jars back in the lineup. Thanks! I will update on these and the Texas roadkill in a while. I’m traveling all over Cali these next 3 weeks so I won’t be popping them until I’m home. I plan on crossing the best diesel girls to some Cuban Black Haze males doing controlled open pollination just for personal use.34BC1180-C46F-4104-A18E-FF8C5F7C325A.jpeg

Can anyone post or reference me to some pics of the ecsd cut I got from shoreline a while back. 2/3 of my room may have to be that cut. Want to be sure it's good or legit!

The pure blend pro grown buds i had tasted a lot better than my GH run but the GH grown was much frostier. I have since lowered ppm with GH and get better flavor but definitely a difference in growth compared to pbp.

You use pure blend pro? It’s been my go to for two years now. Very gentle, but have noticed maybe salt buildup or something off if I go higher than 1000 PPM. Where as the GH in hydro I have pushed to 1200,1300ppm… love pure blend pro man.

I did run pbp in the past but I've been running GH lately.

I never go very high with my nutrients, usually in 400-600 ppm in veg and 500-700ppm in bloom. I found the high nutrient concentrations caused more issues than it was worth.

Pbp works great but it does have some high levels of heavy metals. I seen it on a list on one of these forums.
