Thats a KaliMist/x13/Thai/Dc raco ... , or am i wrong ... ? , those droopy and odd folded leafes show the thai influence ... , or maybe another landrace trait , passed on by the KaliMist ... nice pix fo sure my friend ... , you do em justice - odd leaf size btw hehe
thx alex ... , she´s the best from the first pack ... , lets wait for a second run with clones and for the second pack to be selected through
Have you kept males? I read somewhere that DJ said something about there being great potential in Flo's f2 generation, would be interesting to know if the same goes for F-13.
Dj advises in the F13 decription that its a potential breeder .... , and yes i kept 1 promising looking male which went hermi @ week 4 of flowering ... , have to wait for the second pack ... btw the otm male seems to be auto flowering
That's a real bummer. I mean a hermie male leads to think that the likely progeny out of such a cross would have a greater chance of being female, but who wants to take the risk of breeding with a hermie?
yeah i heard this " theory" with the male with a slight %-age of female pistils increasing the female offspring ... , but as i want to line breed and work with both genders hermies are DEFINATELY unwanted ..
What a unbelievable thread fjällhöga .You have gotten real good with your new camera.Macro shot's are just awesome i've got to learn how to do that :friends: :wink: .
i´m using a Nikon D50 [SLR] with a 18-55mm objective and for the macros i just put a Macro Conversion Lens on my objective ... , for sure 90% of the pix were made on a tripod which is really nessesary for a SLR as the mirror produces a " snap " when the pic is taken and this snap blurries most of the pix when taken in macro mode , just pm me if you need some help with taking photo´s ... :friends:
I just blew my life saving on a new camera .Got myself a Kodak Z650 Zoom Digital Camera with 6.1 megapixels and 10 x optical zoom...........i get nice pictures just havent figured out how to get those nice close macro shot's like ya'll.Guess i'll just have to play around with it more .Then again that's half the fun huh :friends: :wink: .
This is about the best i can do right now little look at Bacchus Cascadia.........
try to view the pictures before uplaoding them to ic mag , view them in their original size (not only maximize the window with the pic) , then you have to cut out your prefered part of your macro shot ( your cam should have a macro setting , maybe a super macro too ) and safe it ... , then load up the new pic in original size
Tom Hill´s Pine Tar Kush was added to the staple [ in seed form ]
Here some shots of a strain i made for a friends birthday as a present
Only 20 beans were made ... , Fire666 grew them and is happy with the results
Blockhead Haze
thats the last test batch of the Haze male im keepin/testing for while now [+1 year] ... , all tests showed surprisngly short-medium flowering offspring which is very potent and tasty .. , we found not a single hay phenotype in the whole testing phase !!!
btw its the same male which was used for my Blowfish Haze
is there anything you dont have .Other Than Deep Chunk which i have now Pine Tar Kush was the other strain from Tom that's alway's caught my eye !! Fine looking buddage there fjällhöga .
Huh , many things are out there , that i would be more than happy to call my own but for now we here are happy with our staple of Indicas, Indica/Sativas and Sativas

Blowfish Haze #8 +
Blockhead Haze [Fire666´s&friends] +
CherryChunk * [ slight hermaphroditic traits were observed in late flowering on a severe stressed batch but only in a very low count , the afghan incross stabilized the line greatly ]
Masterkush/Skunk +
SkunkyBalls +
Skunk * [ line bred from the famous cheese line ]
Venomhead [ Blockhead x Venomberry99 ] * - gave the line to Fire666 as he wants to work/learn with it , got it bro , no prob for me as im out of space for looooooong time now
Venomberry99 * [ only in male form preserved as the females werent stable/consistent enough ]
Sativa

VeryCherryBerry [CherryBomb/Venomberry]* the only hawaian hybrid i found worth of keepin , though we had to fight heavy herm problems ... , dropped the line
personal fav´s from smoking ... : Lion´s Herb , Dc , Blowfish Haze #6 , Haze #1 ,Masterkush/Skunk , Skunk ... and for sure my pure fish
and here my personal favs for making hash [ bubble or honey .... ]
Everything Blue [ only Dj´s , i cant even speak for Dp´s versions ]
Lions Herb , SourQueen2 , KaliMist/x13/T/Dc and Skunk
marked with * are strains that are tested + proofen , those with a + are still in progeny testing phase .. [ testing a single plant{gender is not said!} needs about 10-18 months !!! ]
I asked fire666 to bring another nug of the Blockhead Haze for taking some shots as the first ones werent that what i want to see , those colors are coming out way better now ... [ those pix are not edited at all !!! i hate those tweakers myself ]
i think fire666 will comment on this one personally as i think i hit his flavor to 100% + he will post some other pix from KaliMist/x13/Thai [pure] in my subforum or here
As one of the greatest successes in the work with Haze#1 is that we were able to sort out all the " bad attitude " pheno´s with to much NL#5 or Skunk#1 influence .. , for me a good haze should deliever a happy , uplifting high very much on the bright side , to have that said im no fan of racy stuff !
With bad attitude is meant that when smoked and the high or stone wears off that you feel grumpy and world is left grey .... ,
its a very important point in my work .... on the same level as potency , taste and smell
hell yeah pipeline that genetic lineup consisting of great landraces and some wicked mixed strains which are just marvelous and rare amazes me too having seen most of the stuff IRL, thx fjal ^^
For instance I just cured 2 more phenos from the HBHH (Holy Blockhead Haze, yeah its holy for an atheist like me xD) and tested one of them and i must say I wanna myself atm cuz i didn't try to reveg her, anyways I'll bring one nice nug off each of these phenos and let fjal write you some nice smoke report.
hoping for some , light cured samples from Fire666 this sunday .... , preparing the photo equipment and the pipes for an ultra clean smoke ... , 100% glass from ROOR not nessesary to say
btw here are some shots of a KaliMist/x13/Thai (pure) grown by Fire666&friends
very very very very spicy to the bone ... , this heavy spicyness wont leave the throat thats ridiculous , with some rotten , fruity/creamy undertone ... , very haze like with no haze in it at all !! thats the reason why i have chosen this one to be the p1f of Km/x13/T/Dc [ we have to find a fittin name , like Kali Chunk ]
the offspring was quite uniform for being a 4-way cross , i had only 2 pheno´s one bit more sativery and one indy leaning (about 60%) [talking about crossing dominance in f1s including a DeepChunk IBL parental part , gender not said ! ] all Dc pheno´s were culled fast to promote a greater sativa influence in the offspring [diminishing genes]
Its good to know that the p1f will never go from Fire´s house as he loves it very much ... , as much as the Blockhead Haze ... ?? i dunno
now pix ...
*
side note to Kali Chunk : the Affy incross increased the bract size , which is one of my personal aims , the smell is very old skool ghani like with some tropical/fruity/incense which is very lovely and strong ... , [ 1 plants stinks way more than a bunch of SourQueen 2 ´s and Blue´s flowering next to her]
