Sorry for the lack of updates and my absence from the forum for a while. Been real busy. Lots of exciting things happening in the world of Cannabis right now and I am happy and proud to be a part of it. Our world is changing quickly right now and we can either make preparations for it or we can stick our heads in the sand. I for one will not be caught with my head in the sand. I have a passion for Cannabis and my community and want to see both thrive in the coming times.
Humboldt county has always represented Organic farming, Sustainable living, environmental activism, and a close knit community. I stand for these same things. I take pride in knowing my neighbors and community and lending them a helping hand. I care for my land, my neighborhood, my rivers, streams, and trees. I try to live side by side with the native wildlife and minimize my impacts on their habitat. I try to educate those around me and new comers to my community why it is that we love living here and how to value and respect this land that has given us so much bounty.
Humboldt means so much more than just the best Organic, Healthy, Sustainable Grown, Cannabis available. We are trying to set the standard of how we can responsibly cultivate Cannabis and cultivate a strong, healthy community and lifestyle at the same time.

Big updates coming soon. I promise.

big up ...great words

[Ganja D]

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments guys. It really touches my heart and makes me feel great.
I have dreamed of breeding cannabis since I was about 15 years old and have spent countless hours observing and thinking about herb plants ever since. I actually dream at night about growing multiple nights a week and now each day of my life is a bit cooler than some of my dreams.
HL and I are keeping all these males to make seeds for next year. It is a great challenge and loads of dedication to put the proper energy and efforts into selection. Here is a small example of my thoughts.
HL's Hindu Kush/Blueberry x Blackberry/Purple is awesome. The blackberry clone only is terrific smoke but not the best yielder(we have a few of those as well). In choosing which HK/BBxBB/P male it's complicated.
We have one standout that has the purple traits of the Blackberry clone and the smell of sweet Blackberry,but it's not the sturdiest male we have and it's node spacing could be tightened up a bit. It was early to show sex and has vigorous growth.

On the other hand we have one that has the purple traits as well in color but not in smell. The smell is more musky like the Hindu Kush. This one also has a great sturdy structure and will likely produce offspring that can hold massive buds that weigh a ton and tight node spacing.

I love the first one because it will surly pass on it's strong sweet berry smell and flavor but the other clearly is the winner when it comes to structure and sturdiness. For personal smoke I would choose the first,for heavy yield and strong stone I would pick the second. We will keep both and collect pollen. I think these will be males HL and I will test on a variety of his strains.
Sorry if this was too much info,just want to share how I think about the plants and maybe even get some feedback. The HK/BB x BB/P is a winner either way.

Real nice structure to both the males. I like the seconed one the best. I have always picked my males by how vigorous it is and then by structure. Smell's seem as theycan vary pretty widley after you add the female to the mix. But if your shooting for a certain smell of course you should use the male that has the smell you want. I always look at it as if I was trying to breed humans. Good looking people probley have better odds of having good looking kids. You have 2 big ole fatties mate ussually the offsping are big ole fatties. But we all know it dosen't always work that way.

Anyways I love what you guys are doing in the gardens this year. And thanks for sharing the journey with us.

 

[vince514]

keep em both but the second male looks like it has a real tree trunk like stem and also is showing some color on the stems, ya never know the next generation from that second male might unlock something special....and might be one hell of a yeilder

 

[HorseMouth]

Way to have the choice on the males. It'll be great to cross the ladies, keep them labeled and see if you are right on the dot.

Great Plants draped with Hortonova pics.

Peace
