heya everyone, this is my first cross, and i got a few hundred seeds so here goes the first test run. i by no means am a full on breeder, but i'd like to document this one, so if they're any good i could maybe give some to seedbay for charity or somethin.
before my favorite plant died she spouted some pollen and kept her lineage going in a few crosses. the pollen she gave off after a year of being completely female (with a few stress tests to check stability) landed on a Female Seeds Northern Lights, a BOGbubble, a Bogglegum, and mostly on a Skunk #1. but first a little more on the hawaiian...
Kona Cherry
this hawaiian was grown from seeds i took back from long, airy, dark and hashy bud grown outdoors on the big island, and was one of two females that were very similar, but this one smelled like scratch&sniff cherry with a pungent kick while flowering, which took around 12 weeks or so. the smoke was, wait a sec *puffs some* soothing and expansive, mostly clear in the head yet still encompassingly relaxing, and potent but not overly powerful, similar to other hawaiians with a rather soaring and uplifting high that never seems to plateau. the earthy odor form burnin the herb outstinks all the other strains above. a couple have said the dried bud smells similar to haze, but i have yet to smoke a pure haze...
here is an old picture list of hawaiian strains. the herb this came from was exactly like #7
though still immensely hashy and unmistakeable, it might've even been a little darker n airier because of the season... growing her indoors changed all that...
so she was flowered once without a single banana or seeds after 13 weeks, then revegged and flowered again 6 months later after, this time drought stressed and light poisoned and popped some male flowers, but not many. most of this pollen was distributed to to the large skunk #1. i never got clones going and the reveg didn't work this time, so what i came to call Kona Cherry is no more unfortunately. i'm terribly sorry i wasn't good enough to keep her going, but shaz happens. here's a pic of her, i'll post others later...

then second flowering after reveg while seedbearing with straight HPS without MH supplement

next to her was a massive skunk #1 tree from gypsy's freebies that i got in '02. from sam the skunkman's 2001 crop, very lemony strong pine-sol skunk scent, finished in about 8 weeks, yielded big rockhard nugs and was a lot stronger smoke than i was expecting, a fuzzy kick to the head and always gets the best of my sinuses. a shot of her...
-
And so, i got a bunch of feminized seeds it seems, only one way to see what's really in the little pods now... so i picked out some nice seeds and just grabbed some random ones for a total of 38. in a glass with filtered water, a drop of superthive, drop o sensa spray for the helluva it, in under a day 34 had popped
although 34 popped, a few never came outta the soil, probably too hot for them since i put em under a 400w MH at under 3' and a couple had accidents leaving me with 27 healthy seedlings right now. soil is some regular stuff, worm castings n perlite. they're 6 days old here from a couple days ago, already seein some variation. almost all are stretching like crazy even with stem working and a fan and the MH at 1.5ft or so. they're getting 15hrs light right now, but i will transplant in a week then go to 12hrs to keep the size and timetable down.some pics...

that's all for now. sorry i do tend to go into too much detail sometimes, but this is their introduction after all, i'll keep it to mostly pictures from here on out
i won't deem a name until after they've flowered, but i'm always open to suggestions. and any feedback from real breeders on what traits should be apparent from which parent, and any other advice is of course more than welcome.
peace n green thumbs all

could've been transplanted days sooner, as most were well rootbound in the red cups.
