So I pulled my Gelato 45 x CD down today @ day 62. Based on the trikes (95% cloudy with an amber here and there) and a test bud, I'm very happy with the effects. So glad she didn't turn into an 11+ week strain. This was my first foray with Useful, but it won't be my last! I see why he calls his CD a unicorn. Can't wait to pick up some CD S1s. Overall, she doesn't look much different than she did when I posted pics a few days ago. She smells of unripe mango, tire rubber, and fuel. As promised here are a few more pics.

As a point of reference, below is the above pic with some settings jacked up to eleven. It's dramatic, but I strive more for accuracy - don't believe everything you see on IG.

Love the colors on that! Really good looking buds. I like editing my photosto be more realistic than dramatic as well.

I got my seeds from the JBC February raffle today. I'm really interested in popping the Chem D x Banana OG.

I've never heard of Dogwalker OG so I'd like to get a little more information on that strain before I pop that cross.

BDGrows · Mar 12, 2021

Recently got some clones from the club (really want a GDP and saw they had Plat OG so I got it as well) and saw they had PM and pest on em... So I started treating em and I'm pretty sure they're both not gonna make it. So, to cure my sadness, I popped 2 DDS. Debating on popping 2 Kosher Tangies as well...
edit: Was still sad so I added the Kosher Tangies in as well... 2 future moms that didn't make it means that they need to be replaced by 2! Hoping for that strawberry pheno from the DDS and a Tangerine Kush from the KT... We'll see what we get!

Almost all my grow room problems have been from bringing in clones from dispensaries and friends. Always treat outside clones like they have the plague. Pop enough seeds and you will find your own elite cut. Running out 3 packs Chocolate Diesel S1, can't wait to compare and pick a winner.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, hope you get the phenos you want. That's the exact reason I started growing from seed only, too much crap on other people's clones. And to be honest, I haven't looked back. The genetics available today are just as good as any of the "elite cuts" in my opinion. I have grown many elite cuts because of where I live, you could get just about any cut you want around here a few years ago. Not so much anymore, they are hoarded by dispensaries now and it is illegal to give donations for them to private party's. When it went legal here there was an influx of Californian folk that came for the green rush and they had all the elites. It was awesome at first but then I started getting clones with problems or not the cutting it was supposed to be. Russet mites was the last battle for me and I lost. Had to trash everything, clones, mothers I had collected over a couple year span, the dirt I was growing in... then tear everything down and clean spotless. I was sad at first but found some great breeders and has been smooth sailing ever since. I would purchase a Pre-98 Bubba Kush clone if I get the chance but that is the only one I would take the chance on. I keep checking dispensaries but to no avail, there aren't many that sell them. Friday night blabbing is over now. Lol. Damn Sunny Diesel got me in the zone. Lol.

I’ve been trying to catch a Bubba clone for a hot minute myself, brother katsu sent me a 10 pack of his s1 for free and they got crushed in transit. I feel like if it’s meant to be it will be. Maybe someday. Russets are scary, definitely something to be feared. To be rid of them requires a lot of consistent work, maintaining an ipm is really important. If you do that consistently it avoids anything coming in and getting a hold. There’s a product called regalia, that’s extract of knotweed. It stimulates protective vigor and natural resistance, part of a healthy balanced breakfast! lol

If you recommend Regalia then I will try it, at least keep it on hand. I try to not spray anything, ever. Sometimes I like to use the bud for means other than smoking and don't want any pesticides or fungicides on it. Obviously it is necessary sometimes but I have found that if I keep clean when going in the grow area and grow from seed, I've had pretty good luck so far. Thanks for the info @colocowboy

colocowboy · Mar 12, 2021

You feed it to them at the root, it really strengthens up the structure. They just get strong and resistant. I have been using it for a year now, doesn’t take as musch as they recommend and really does work.

Man, congrats! You got some absolute gems. Dog walker OG is Chemdog x Skywalker OG i’m pretty sure, but i’m not 100% on that

Bodyne · Mar 13, 2021

I'd second that on the dogwalker, I think it's albert walker/91 chem. What really looked good was those gmo x choc d fems on IG. Might kill a good man for a pack of those, , j/k. No really. lol. Congrats on fam endeavors, especially with chaos in the world. The love vibe is strong!

Thanks! There were posts a while back here for the same strain, and I think those might have been a bit more purple. It's certainly a good looking strain. The main reason I post pics is to be a reference for folks interested in running that strain. It wouldn't be a help to anyone if I made them look inaccurate.

Nice! It sounds like I might find some stronger fuel terpenes in that cross. I did a search on here and found nothing but good reviews of Dogwalker. I'll have to pop a couple along with the Chem D x Banana OG.

Thanks! I totally forgot to take a pic with a size reference

when I had the camera set up. I grabbed this one with my old phone. I don't much care about yield, but I think it's going to be pretty good. I didn't veg that long, and I'm not running CO2. The plant was only 38" tall.

You sure ought to find a gem. Hope you post some pics. Good luck.

Without going into detail I must say that @Useful Seeds is one of the most generous people I have ever encountered, if not the most. I've always tried to live my life with the mentality to give more than recieve, give the shirt off my back kinda guy. It's not very often I feel someone is up to that same degree of thought but @Useful Seeds is on another level! The people in this thread are awesome also, don't get me wrong. I can say for certain that I will always be a customer of his, as long as he and I are above ground. This man is a Saint. Thank you, thank you, thank you Useful! You really make a difference in people's lives, not just with seeds but teaching people how to live. Spread the Love!

My daughter would KILL me if she knew I did this. But I have been an emotional mess for a bit, our lil granddaughter has been through some tough times, she was re admitted due to some issues. But she is now free, and home. AND this 10 day old critter has a sense of humor....crazy !!! This little girl has endured so much, so many issues during her first 10 days of life here with us. But she is smiling......think about that.

The strawberry pheno is the cut I lost in transit to my new legal home. I wish you good luck finding her. The high, taste and bag appeal were unmatched. Is it bad I have dreams about her? :sleep:
