That was actually the original idea, and then I figured that would be lost if people wanted to be able to follow the gene pool. So rather than be all cool - SnoMonkey - gave credence to the male and to GG4 - it stayed in line with the old naming adage that says you should be able to sorta tell what the genetic history is by the name itself...
I know it's not done that way anymore...but...

First off - apologies to Mars Hydro. To date, I've still not gotten a flower round under their lights. In fact, I'm just now vegging plants out under the Mars SP3000. I'll get into some details shortly. I have been taking pictures and I will update.
I don't want to spend an hour typing out the drama in my own life as some sort of excuse for just vanishing, HOWEVER, life does happen. Some of it is always self inflicted and you sort of expect what you get and other aspects of it just seem to come as fate, whether earned or ill gotten or blessing or curse.
Life just happens. At times I find myself in the driver seat and other times I find myself more a passenger. The last few months have been a combination of both.
As I discussed so many pages back, I had allowed myself to enter the dating world and it didn't really go well. Parts were fantastic, other parts pure tragedy and heartbreak. A lot of confusion some where in the middle of the extremes.
We split completely for a couple months. I found a massage therapist that was a decade younger and she found herself back on a sailboat with her ex. I think both our independent experiences showed us there was something different or special about our interactions and others paled in comparison.
Long story short, we started talking again. I drove hours to see her. She drove hours to see me. We reconnected and I'll admit - through some therapy and sincere soul searching, some how we have managed to work through things. It doesn't even feel as if I'm the same person or if she is the same person or if it's even the same relationship. It's not. Things are way different. We are way different. It's something entirely new somehow even though the participants are the same.
That's the long and short of it - I'm okay. I've not had any security issues. I've just had a serious bout of depression. Anxiety. Self Loathing. A lot of anger and frustration over time wasted. A garden I couldn't stand to be in because of the memories of sharing it with her took over the escape it once provided...I've been in a serious state of "need time for self to get my f.u.c.k.i.n.g. head straight"...
I feel like that is occurring and it's time to get back to sharing what I love and what really at the end of the day make me...well, me. I lost myself for a bit and the garden suffered.
Mochiesel #9. Dead. Chem Sis x Topanga Pure Kush. Dead. Lazy Lightning. Dead...again. WTF. Chem Sis x Lucifer OG. Dead.
Whole garden. Dead. I just quit watering. I let 3 trays of clones die. All back ups. All mothers. A flower round 3 wks in I just quit watering even though light cycles still continued. Everything...dead. Dried up and crusty. Leaves turned to dust upon touch...
But - that is the past. The future is now. That is what is more important.
I do have some plants going under the Mars SP3000 - veg in 1/2 gallon at the moment.
TopDawg Seeds, Fam95 - Familia x I95 - [Chem 3 x (TK x Stardawg Ix2)] x [TK x (Legend OG x Stardawg Ix2)]
This is a powerhouse line and something I picked up at the Boston Freedom Rally in 2019 from MoneyMike. These two lines, the Familia selected clone and the I95, represent, to me, the lines that $mike built while paving his path to working with TopDawg. They were his contributions to F.A.M. and showed his passion and dedication and ability to focus and work on a given project until something superior surfaced.
There were 11 seeds. All spit good tails but only 8 came above soil. 1 dampened off. The other 7...of which one is a runt and 2 show a few early leaf abnormalities, are just shy of hitting their stride and blowing up.
These are some seriously stinky plants - 4 of which really have my attention and stand out for various specific traits I like to see in plants. I expect one of the 4 to be male and it's the loudest plant in veg by far. The thing just reeks.
I'm going to work on sorting pictures and uploading a few things to get a...more.... purposeful update underway and return this thread back to it's grass roots, so to speak.
I'm going to go back over everyone's messages and posts. I want to thank you all for the love you've shared. I know I've checked in but not posted. I tried to keep up with PMs when I logged in.
This thread is about to get back on the Stank Bros train. More on that soon.
dank.Frank
