man tough crowd! now i know why i quit posting here.... if it aint some exotic bubonic crazy ass cali kush noone will give you props! maybe i should go introduce myself 150 times so i can have enough posts to get recognized...lol...what is it with the click on these sites? what do i have to pick a tutor and apprentice myself to a senor member to get a comment! ill bet if it was purple urkle id have 7 pages already! friggin snobs! ) i thought we came here to communicate and to share common interests..if were all in this together why do i feel not welcome here? i think we deserve mad props just for posting here in the first place in the face of the powers that be! fyi this is not your run of the mill ak. it came from the brothers grimm stable circa the late 90's and if nothing else has historical or novelty value. lucky they even sprouted! its not a cherry ak but it definately leans towards a sweet cherry floral bouqet and and as you can see from the pics has been a pleasure to grow. i guess there arent any ak fans here..well heres my keeper kush maybe it will spark some interest....
They look very nice it's just there are so many nice pic's of plants not everybody gets noticed, also ak is very underrated strain but i like, it i'm smoking trim off my outdoor one last year as we speak. Keep up the good work. Slips
I love the Ak also...smoked it many times from clubs here in Cali...good medicine IMO great for appetite and a good all around night med....in fact I may have a chance to get a cut and grow one plant to have a diff flavor.....
Lots of people are still either pissed off or paranoid....we had a major shitstorm...yanno? So a lot of people lurk...but don't post....
no its all good i was just tryin to get a laugh...and your right there are so many beautifull plants out there now.....all the more reason to admire the old stand byes imo... anywys thanks bro...
I have in the past ran ak's from Serious, and I vegged them until they were at least 23 inches tall. Dwarfed the pics ( no intention of demean as it is a very nice plt) I would just like to say these plants when vegged for 24 inches produce large multiple nugs. Want real bigin, use DWC. I had a HUGE mother,her trunk was 4 thumbs wide, 3 ft. ( easy ) wide and 4 ft. high. Go for it. Don't let your ppm's go over 1800, really more than 1400, mine got away from me cause she was a hugh drinker, 1-2 gal a day.
oh hey there you all are...thanks guys and though i dont think she'll be a "serious" part of my garden it was fun to grow the ak finally...
yeah thanks for the advise beetlepumpr those sound like monsters would love to see some pics..
these beans came from serious stock originally and are probably f-2 or 3 im not sure..but as you can see these were done sog style and were planted at 4 per sq.ft. in a flood pan in 4" rock wools and fed every three days at 1000ppm. ive been working less and less with hydro though and am going to do some in soil as soon as i find a suitable mama... maybe a grape crush?
looks better than the serious ak i did last year in dwc. I have never seen anyone do grimms ak before... i mean grimm is basically a thing of the past - have you been keepin this clone around forever or did you have a stash of beans?
id love to try some grimm stock, so i ordered some gn c99..
well i believe sly furthered the selection a little so they may be slightly different or completely different than the ones you did lorax its a crap shoot ya know but the beans were gifted to me by a good friend who bought them through sly years ago. in order to preserve these old beans we decided to pop the remaining relics and make some beans for later..we also sprouted f-1 c-99's, grimm white rhino's, and 10 sugar blossom x c-99 beans made from an original f-1 c-99 stud and the genius dom. clone sugar blossoms. as far as grimm being a thing of the past i think your wrong(no offense) but i think in each one of these plants is contained the ingredients for the future and i intend on doing my part to preserve them hopefully undamaged untill they can further be studied ya know. im no scientist but id rather not see such rare beans go to waste! hopefully i make the right selections...
the clone sugar blossom
DUDE.... Im not in some click. Id like you to review my posts. Just because I wanted to express my love for Cdog. Im still new to this site... LIKE YOU. Your grow looks bomb... Let me know if you want some so-cal CLUB genetics...LOL.
good luck preserving them but you let me know where i can get f1s of ANY of the following and ill take back my comment about "thing of the past". i meant that solely because they are inaccessible, not quality
rosetta stone
dtc99
A11
C99
green giant
MTF
ice princess
sugar blossoms
no, not a single BG is available in f1s anymore, and thats a damn shame. they came and went before I really discovered the hobby, but i remember long ago seeing them in stock in HS, and that stock slowly dwindling...
possibly i still have some original beans as well as access(maybe if hell come off them!) to the mtf and gg and the princess 88....might have to wait till there is a clone avail. but if there is it will be avail. to me. i will have a clone mom soon of the c-99 and will make f-2"s most definately. i have sly"s widow 88 and an adventure mix in my hands soon to be popped.. yeah these beens are gettin rare arent they!?
well good luck with those. im amazed at how often i see c88.. which is not often.. but the fact that i see it surprises me.. my understanding is ya had to get it straight from soul or sly.. sounds like some maybes on your horizon, good luck hope you're able to get em all.
but yea they are getting rare, too bad BG fell apart..
yea alot of these are pre release and came from sly himself. im not even sure if they will sprout...it is a shame and i dont want to be in a hurry either but im havin fun with them... i havent found any medicine better than this and ill be happy with it for a long time...much love goes out to brothers grimm you opened my eyes to the love of the cannabis plant. wherever you are happy trails and come back we miss you!
very nice bro ive got f1 grimms stock in seed form still like there white russian c99 a11 sugar blossoms dtc 99 c88 x c99 ab ice princess so they still live on with me bro
