Farm Life With Snype!

[Snype]

Out of all of the Mortorbreath and Stardog pheno's, Motorbreath #6 hairs are starting to turn and it is only at day 30 of Flower. She stretched the most in out of all of the plants. Her buds are dense and do not grow in a long chain. They are more of a dense gum ball shape. Under Trichome examination, there was a hint of amber and a lot of cloudy and some also clear. Maybe this one will finish within the next 20 days and I will have an early pheno. We shall see. Here are some pics:

Hell yeah! Funny you caught that! Been writing since 1991. Still got all my black books from those times.

kinda makes me want BYTCH now...a writers strain...

kinda makes me want BYTCH now...a writers strain...

She's a great pheno! I am lucky to have her. Out of all the plants in the tent, the BYTCH's are shorter than the others but much more bushier. Granted they were grown for 2 weeks longer than the rest of them but still. The only thing she is really missing is trichomes. She also has weak branches which makes her floppy. I crossed her to 3 Sour Diesel IBL males that I selected out of more males. I made sure to not include the thick stemmed diesel because she was lacking compared to the thinner stemmed diesel. I have thousands of these seeds. I haven't popped any yet but I will sometime next year. I want to grow some of those out and back cross them to my BYTCH for the BX. The other project that I want to do is cross the BYTCH to a few Blockhead IBL Males for a Mob Boss type of plant. Maybe some how in the process I can make her less floppy as well. I don't keep my beans at my grow location for security reasons. If I had access to them, I would probably start a few projects but it's probably best for me to wait until life settles down. Tons of work at the moment.

Snypette came with some supplies this weekend which included some tester F13 F2's from Green Path Seeds! I've been wanting to try F13 for years but never got any. I'm hoping to find something really nice in these so I can't wait to start them! Green Path was very nice enough to include 42 seed! I can't thank them enough for this test grow! Going to be a learning experience for me. I just might go completely organic on this grow for the first time because these types of strains can be delicate to grow. I'm going to try and go with this formula from:
Organics for Beginners
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=53792

"LC's Soiless Mix #2:

6 parts Pro Mix BX or HP / Sunshine Mix (any flavor from #1 up) / Fox Farm Ocean Forest or Light Warrior
2 parts perlite
2 parts earthworm castings
Powdered (NOT PELLETED) dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
If you use a 3 qt. saucepan as “parts” in the amounts given above, it equals about 1 cu. ft. of soiless mix and you can just dump in a cup of powdered dolomite lime. The dolomite lime is for Ca. and Mg. not just to adjust the PH of the soil.

Now for the plants organic food source

Choose one of these organic plant food recipes to add to LC's Soiless Mix.

RECIPE #1

If you want to use organic nutrients like Blood meal, Bone meal and Kelp meal...

1 tablespoon Blood meal per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
2 tablespoons Bone meal per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
1-tablespoon kelp meal per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
or Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract as directed
(OPTIONAL) 1 tablespoon per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of Jersey Greensand to supplement the K (potasium) in the Kelp Meal and seaweed extract.

Mix all the dry nutrients into the soiless mix well and wet it, but don't soak it. Use Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal. Stir and mix it a few times a week for a week or two so the bacteria can get oxygen and break down the nutrients and make it available. And don't let the mix dry out, keep it moist and add water as needed. It'll also have time to get the humic acids in the Liquid Karma going and the dolomite lime will be better able to adjust the pH of a peat based mixture too.

With this recipe, all you need to do is add plain water until harvest".

Sounds like a straight forward mix. I will probably pop half of the seed (21) and go this organic approach and if that doesn't work out well, then I can pop the other 21 with my methods that I already use. Should be some fun! Not sure where this thread will end up but I will be starting this week!

Some of these plants are looking very nice! Here is a pic of Stardawg #9 at Day 32 Flower:

 

[Snype]

One of my favorite plants in the tent is Motorbreath #2. Her bud style looks different from the rest of the pheno's and is probably SFV OG dominant. Her bud looks more delicate than the other pheno's. Here she is at day 32 of Flower:

 

[Snype]

From a beauty standpoint, all in the pheno's in the tent look amazing in their own specific way. I'm comparing all of these plants to my almost 4 year old production keeper that I still run. Production wise compared to the BYTCH, none of them compare at all from what I get out of the BYTCH. The only interesting one is Stardawg #6 and maybe she will be able to compete but time will tell. I do know from experience that just because a bud looks perfect as a keeper, doesn't mean that she will contain maximum flavors and potent effects. This is usually the case where beautiful buds are missing one other component and are not keepers for me personally. I will be impressed if the Stardawg #6 produces 3 oz. The other plants look like they may have a tough time getting 2 oz but I always underestimate when it comes to yields. I'm usually more shocked when I see the actual weights and a lot of these buds look pretty dense which makes it harder for me to judge.

Of course I backed up all of the pheno's and have plenty of MOMS. I am running a test 2 of all of these pheno's in another room with 4,000 watts. They are still in VEG though but this time I'm going to try to top them more and VEG them longer to 18"-20" with 9 plants per light in soil.

I still hope to find some keepers for the head if production is not there. It's going to be tough though because all of these plants are Chemdog related and so is BYTCH and she was chosen for a reason. It's going to be hard to keep up with her with my growing style. On top of that she is very flavorful and so potent. I never get sick of smoking it and when you grow her right, she stanks. I mean really. A few grams in a baggy in your pocket can stink up a whole room by itself. Another reason why I kept it. She wasn't the best producer out of that specific test crop but she still yielded very well and had the stretch that I needed for productive crops as well as flavor and potency. The branch structure of the Stardawg #6 looks stronger than the floppy BYTCH. Can't wait to smoke these and see if there are any gems! Time will tell.

Here are some pictures of 1 of my BYTCH's at day 33 of Flower in the tent. I counted at least 13 mains on her and she will have no problems producing 3+ oz. Keep in mind that the 2 BYTCH's were 2 weeks older than the other plants and were topped more times.

Motorbreath's & Stardawg Day 35 Flower Update
All of the plants are looking very nice and are happy! Every pheno has something special about her so it's hard to say which ones that I don't like. In the end it will come down to flavor and potency. They look great though! At least half way done with flowering!

gotta say snype's that was a enjoyable read and funny at times. lol had a few goats myself once for tax purpose,an nice tucker.

I know what you mean.....
I just did a seed run to find a few keepers. Their all good in their own special way. I found a Strawberry Dogshit that has the strongest smell, and off the charts trichome production.
Its the smallest yielding pheno out of 4 females, but its the best.

The 2 biggest yielders are still excellent smelling, just not even close to how strong of a strawberry smell the small yielder has.
Im torn between needing BIG yields and needing the strongest smelling, best tasting, most potent flowers around.
I guess Ill keep em both cauze I cant decide.

Yeah man, keepers are extremely hard to find of a specific quality. I won't even be surprised if there are no keepers even here. That's how hard it is for me to find a keeper. A lot of times in the past I was forced to find keepers in packs but they were never truly keepers.

But on another note, I just got Nag Champa / Illuminati Stardawg, WD40, The White and another clone only that I don't know too much about yet. From what I hear some of these cuts are going to be very nice! Still a long way from getting to me though because my boy just put them in the cloner and they still need to root so anything can go wrong. If these cuts are what some people are saying, I don't think I will have to test anymore beans for a long time! That would be pretty nice! I'm still interested to see if I will find at least 1 keeper in this tent though. The suspense is killing me!

Stardawg Day 36 Flower Notes

KK Stardawg and Stardawg #6 seem to look exactly the same. The big difference is that the #6 grows much bigger buds and has a thicker branch structure. The #6 bushes out more than KK but they both produce similar trichome production to each other. They are both less frosty compared to the #9 which looks like a whole different plant. It seems that the #6 and KK are more Chem4 dominant and the #9 is more JJ's version of ChemD. Look at how the KK and #6 look compared to each other:

The first one is KK and the 2nd one is #6

The first one is KK and the 2nd one is #6

Stardawg Day 36 Flower Notes Continued

Stardawg #9 looks different from the last 2 pheno's. She smells very strong like ChemD funk / stank and is more coated with trichomes. Her buds are the smallest out of the Stardawg pheno's but look the tastiest. Here are some pictures of her:

Were these a seed run?

 

[Mister_D]

Synpe you are one of a very small handful of people on this site that could understand how I can crack 500 seeds and consider maybe 2-3 of them as actual keepers, and that's if I'm lucky.

You have a taste for a perticular strain.
I would try and remember, or think about that taste you crave and figure out what it is. Ive been through 10's of thousands of beans and still havent found any keepers other than BCBD Purps.

I have a serious love affair with that old school Afghani that has that old world spice to it. Fire orange hairs and lime green leaves.
The Purps has that Ghani kick/undertone to it and thats why I love that strain. I compare all other strains to Ghani. I keep growing all these other strains to try and find what I really want. The Ghani.
I just havent found a seed co that I trust to have the real deal old school Afghan genetics.

For me, this is Haze. I compare everything to haze, and so far in 20+ years of smoking nothing has compared. I have a bunch of haze from different breeders, and several thousand Mexican landrace beans I plan to start growing out at some point.

Wow that #9 looks amazing for only being 36 days in.
