Breeder Cuts, Keeper Cuts, and Instagram Hype… Oh My!
- Thread starter Desert Dan
- Start date
as long as we are hype-ing let's not forget the virus...
make the labs rich with the growers dollars, first THC, then terps, now hplvd!+++
@Chunkypigs Huh? Did I say something wrong there? It was just a recommendation of bleach over alcohol. Nothing about labs at all.

The cost of each test is $25 from Tumi. Not much to find out if a plant should be culled.
no, it's just the biggest hype in weed ever, the virus, not the bleach...
@Chunkypigs it fucked my garden. So to me personally it isn't hype.
that's a bummer, especially if $25 dollars would have saved it. you certain it wasn't russets?
this shit started with dudded Glue getting passed 10 years ago at Cali high times events and now
it's the biggest news in weed and everyone's decided it's the next Covid, or Weed AIDS.
a costly new industry is rapidly growing now to that promises to help you save your next garden but weed money isn't going to cover your apical meristem tissue culture recovery TEK these days...
I don't doubt that there are plant viruses I doubt that they are the problem for every failed grow.
I doubt that the testing is accurate and also believe that not all clones are equal in health in every
gardeners hands.
I see the genetics I pass around in many different growers hands every year. there are big differences in growing styles, nutrition, insect and fungal pressure, and plant health in these growers OPs.
personally I think full sun and healthy soil keeps your moms in better heath than always inside but I have a friend who's plants are always indoors and his cuts are always the fastest rooting and his flowers are unequaled on this coast.
not all thumbs are equally green, good luck and good health is fickle, and if there is a Canna God he might not like red heads, who knows...
@Chunkypigs A virus can cause a serious problem in even the best gardeners garden. How they deal with it is the test. For me it was easiest to shut down and start fresh. Gave me the first break from the garden in quite a long time.

How did the og by reserva privada turn out? I just got 48 seeds and I’m wondering if the new batches of reserva privada seeds are good and have that original og in their expressions when pheno hunting? Let me know thanks
I bought mine around 2010 and the keeper was excellent . No idea about what they have now.
yo taco that looks good. @firephenosbc tried uploading having issues on my end. here rp og seeds from 2019 or 20 super funk terps like bubba https://www.icmag.com/media/og.17706834/ this should wrk i think
lemme toss up some picks of this year's hype that went through my hands, smoke reports as it drize.
Triangle Kush already got some dry and it's great.
Double OG Chem- can't wait to fire these
Gelato 33, never got cold here so not much color but killer aroma and frost
Tropicana Cherry, this one hits every base except the high is real quiet.
Rainbow Belts 3.0 everything about this selection is an improvement over the 2.0's that I ran last season but have not smoked it yet.
Mac1 always pleases me and sungrown > indo
Slapz is heavy on the frost and the indo was good
White Truffle is late to flower but pretty, I liked the smoke of the sample
There's a lot of pretty good but not earth shattering stuff out there
Gelato is just a mess, 33 was pretty good, but the last 41 I had was all over the place, it almost had the creamy gas to it but ended up too thin minty
The headier high and minty flavor from the Durban can be nice, but Durban can also be harsh and kind of schwaggy, there are some of these cookie strains that just look like crap dark olive green might as well be brown
Dolato, while having one of the best noses and hardest hits, had the harsh flavor thing going on and didn't look great, it was also hermied
Platinum kush breath, all nose no flavor and didn't hit like the dolato
Oreoz would have been the bees knees if the high lasted longer than 30 minutes, I guarantee there are phenos of plain cookies and cream that would blow it out of the water
The minties I had was better than the kush mints, but I feel like 99% of that comparison is chem vs bubba
It seems the most worthwhile new strains lean very heavily to chem or kush, or skittlez/runtz if they're trying for something fruity

OG Kush and '92 OG are still my top 2 but the Double OG Chem #5 and #15 are both in my new favorites along with the Triangle Kush and the Green Lantern.
ECSD crushed again and also Chaco's Sour Valley and the Chem D and 91/SKVA.
got a lot of gear that I have not even smoked yet but the Zkittlez and lemon Cherry Gelato outs were not very impressive. The RS-11 was amazing at Drumz but my copy got lost in the flood here. Blue Deo was really Dank and also the Banana Cream cake x Jelousy.
the Double OG Chems are the shit though, crazy strong and so gassy. people tap out so fast when I pass joints of them, it's crazy. really blessed to get my hands on so much fire this season!
Double OG Chem 15
won't upload pics here today...bummer...
Hydro stores are failing fast in my part of NY along with the rest of the weed scene as the recreational boom ends with a wimper. I'm guessing that 260 of the 300 recreational permits holders won't sell a dime bag of their crop this year, so much low end outdoors here that it is unreal.
meanwhile they are giving out 800 grow permits this year and still only 23 legal Dispos and 7 deliveries up and running to try to move the legal boof...
so glad I'm a med grower and only in it for the quality...
my rant fixed the internet and pics are working now!!! #ChunkyToTheRescue!!!
White Truffle also crushed but very late...
this BlueBerry Muffin selection from the Hells Angels in MA is a stunner and supposed to finish in 7 weeks indo.
My Homie's selection of Rainbow Belts 3.0 was a real keeper too, much nicer than last seasons RB 2.0.
OGKB 2.0 got frosty like always...
GG#4 has been really nice the last 2 seasons as the weather was nice so long.
Thanks and RIP Joesy and Marr!
Chem 91/SKVA
I bartered for 54' of this 22' wide hoop this summer and got it moved here last week. Monday the dozer is coming to cut a pad behind my house and next season I will have a legal 12 under plastic thang going to rival JayPlantspeaker, lol.
