[Mr GreenJeans]

Frosty colorful goodness. That is a B-U-tiful bud BeAn! Props dude! I'll be right over J/K

 

[acidfire]

Looks delicious!


I have nothing but good things to say about tga aswell.

 

[BeAn]

Thanks you guys, smoked a few samples that a homie had put on the radiator since this morning....got in from work and lit up, now a few hours later im still buzzing. Its a very talkative high at this point, a happy feelgood smoke. The first decent toke ive had since the last harvest, been getting this sandy import crap since before xmas..not good.

MGJ, Your more than welcome to stop by for a smoke lol..

Acid, How did you find the Astroboy and Connie from the fiesta mix...im seriously ictching to pop these to find a Astro mother. Any tips for destinguishing between the two?

Keep it green dudes, theres enough to go round so help yourself...

Right on..I love sampler time..GMT got me into the quick back-of-TV method for quick samplers..suppose a radiator works pretty good too...
Nice looking bud I just have a problem with the name "floater" ..That name already symbolizes something else for me (sometimes contains corn)..
You say "hey man, wanna check out my floater" I'm thinking "No sir I do not want to check out that floater" .. "just throw some tissue on it, then it will go down"..

 

[BeAn]

Yeah thats kinda like what my brother said(F**K off..) lol, in reply to "Get your laughing gear round this Floater". So ive started calling her the FLindy, and the other the FLativa...kinda works better, doesnt cojure up images of poop in your head lol.

Stay safe man!!

Well heres the bad news...

Well heres the bad news...

...One of my Floater Sativa clones(the biggest phatest one) has put out a whole lot of male flowers, not just a single innocent nana..atleast 7 or 8 full blown male pods. Thus the 'Belter' project has been put aside for now, a great excuse to start a new project.... i was looking for an excuse anyway lol.

After the stash run with the clones, both the Floaters will be ditched..no further work will be done with these.(And now the good news...) Ill germ a whole lot of Apollo11 F2's and a few Fiesta mix and play with new genes, kinda like my version of the Apollo13 clone...But using Apollo11 and Astroboy as a base, im in the wrong country to have access to this Elite cut so this is the next best thing. The Lifesaver will be kept hopefully untill i can make some F2's, then replaced with somthing new next year.

Anyways, right now im just on my way out...been toking the FLindy most of the day, earlier i drove high for the first time ever and i was better than when im sober lol. Still, better not make it a habit eh...lol.

Lifesaver @ 69days 12/12.

Keep it green!!

 

[BeAn]

^^Floater Sativa, my battery ran out before i could take a pic...so this is the after chop shot. Not good, but hey...the smoke is phenominal, cant knock Suny for this cross.



^^The FLindy ive been toking..

 

[mossy]

Sweet BeAn..sweet..
I am pleased to hear that you do "tests" on the bud..I am not the only one with bad habits...
Initial high reports look promising too..I like the buzzed ones..
BeAn M8..PLEASE tell me that you are not smoking that coated/imported bud..there is hell on about it..
"been getting this sandy import crap since before xmas..not good. "
Good luck with the next project..

 

[BeAn]

Yeah, it wasnt the worst though... 7g's and another 14g's from two different sources went in the bin. The oz i got from down south was sandy, but not too bad...the others were mouldy and sandy, one looked like it had serious powdery mildew(i told the bloke: white widow my arse lol.)
The good oz only lasted a week, ive never smoked that much by weight in a week...i dont know whether its beacuse the homegrown ive been toking for ages has raised my tolerance, or the baught in gear going round has seriously dropped in quality in 8months.

Lol..too high now, keep it green man.

 

[mossy]

That's the stuff...it hit over here too..with a coating that tasted like those sugar free mints. I saw the "glass bud" thread and warned my friend..but no-one is taking any notice..
the story came back that it was sugar cane canna..
As IF..I have never tasted anything so artificial in my life..
I am pleased that I am smoking my own..I know what goes into them.
You could be right about the strength thing though..a friend came 'round with a nice piece of keefie to try...I never even felt it..

 

[BeAn]

It sickens me that someone could bastardise our sacred Herb, but one more reason to grow your own...and so we shall. Im with you on the artificial sweetener type thing, i thaught that too at one point.
Glad you agree about the potency thing, lol...homegrown is awesome aint it!!

Stay safe dude, and keep it green!



Im seriously looking forward to the spring, its my chance to finaly taste the Apollo family..and start work on my new stash using the Apollo13 x Ortega x C99 and Apollo11 F2 that i got from the Doc, he even sent me the pack of Subs Fiesta mix with 7 extra beans in it by accident. Also some Apollo13 x Jacks Cleaner x SpaceQueen from Cannasuer...
Its what i wanted from the Belter project (untill i saw the hermy tendencies in the Floater, cant base a whole line around a hermie..), I need a real sativa that packs a punch..but wasnt a twelve foot tall monster that flowers for half a year..lol.

Heres some of what ill be working with...


^^Apollo 11




^^Fiesta mix..

 

[BeAn]

Im thinking the Floater sativa was stressed by being next to the oscilating fan, having cold air blasted over her with the lights off. I dont feel that she is a natural hermy as ive had a few successful clones already, and the other clone in the cab is doing fine.

But variety is the spice of life as they say, so a change of genetics is rewuired. Ive accomplished most of the things on my list in the past year, and ive got the FL x LS beans in my fridge too. After growing and smoking the parents for a year, i think further down the line when i sprout the Belter beans ill know what to look for.

Stay safe...

Lifesaver chopped @ 71days..

Lifesaver chopped @ 71days..

This is when i like take her, early in the window...

Keep it green!!

 

[Core]

congratz on the chop....she looks like she will get the job done....

 

[BeAn]

Thanks dude, she certainly does it for me...

Keep it green dude!

 

[acidfire]

...Acid, How did you find the Astroboy and Connie from the fiesta mix...im seriously ictching to pop these to find a Astro mother. Any tips for destinguishing between the two?...

I ended up with 4 females, and all were the astroboy(i think).
All were very similar in structure and smell. Light green leaves with orange/red hairs.
One was more sativa dominant and took a few more weeks than the rest.(you can see that in the background of the next pics.)

The frostiest plant, which also had the strongest smell. Kinda orange/pineapple.






Before chop.


Outdoors. She also has a very good resistance to mold.




Here are the clones before flower. I cant remember which is which, but the keeper was the smallest one going in.


p.s. - Nice looking LS. I wish I would of gotten a pack of those when I had the chance.

p.p.s - My friend grew the connie outdoors and said they were tiny, then suddenly grew 2 foot colas in a few weeks. Smelled like melons.

 

[mossy]

Congratulations BeAn...
now for the hardest part of the process..
trying to get her through the cure..
BEFORE you smoke it all
It is amazing how long 3-4 weeks feels when there is only bought pap kicking around..

 

[Guest]
