I have 3 pheno types. indy goes 50 days, 50/50 @ 65 and sat @ closer to 10 weeks. all of these lean towards the SWT more than the Ortega. plan on hitting these with a BG A11male next run to see what comes out may hit a few buds with some AK pollen as well just for kicks.
Turned out to get pretty dang FULL an all...
THICK ASS top an many branches for an LUI???
Hydro always throws more branches any strain though..
Cool,enjoy that classic!
Lg
I had an ort pheno that was short and columnar but I did care for it so she was culled. These all leaned in the Swt direction.
all I have is old classics. my seed box runs from 1998 - 2005. been out of the scene since 06.
this was my test grow on a fresh system. from here on out i'll be refreshing old stock. Been collecting a little pollen. A11, early AK 47, Ortega, and sweet tooth. the next year or two will be a lot of bean making from what I can get to grow. then i'll be ready to move on.
I have some ak/double sour diesel and sour jack I will drop later on.
I dropped some of the ak/dsd crosses before but germ rates sucked as in 0 for 10. most of them cracked but none took off.
dropped some TW X Herijuana last night. all of them sank so maybe something will go. germ rates haven't been that great in the past. soaked these in a .50ec bloom solution and a drop of super thrive so maybe that will help. these are F2s of some of Mota's old gear.
anyone got any tricks for germing old stock?
Ill be looking for lemon Thai which I think is the secret ingredient in the chem line. some of my all time favorite smoke. never grew out any chemdog. kicked myself 100's of times for loosing the LT.
my sat phenotype will go into final flush Thursday. I will post a few new pic's.
These were a test grow to work any bugs in a new system and to knock off any cobwebs after a long time lay off. Kids are finally grown so I can dust off the old box and do few grows
these LUI's were f3's I made many moon's ago. ran these as a test run in RDWC not expecting much but they turned out so nice thought I would share them.
LUI is definitely worth keeping around. not the most potent but a sweetheart just the same. I made these from my Ortega pheno x a couple SWT leaning males.
these were made about 05 so not as old as yours but still getting on in age. I dropped 10. 6 popped 3 swt heavy females, 2 swt male and 1 big Jurassic looking Ortega.
I have to say I like the Swt side better than the Ortega. Sweet floral smell with a hint of berry. the 50/50 has hint of the Ortega earthy funk in it. My original ort was all earthy dank kinda bland with sleepy couch lock buzz. sampled some of the 50/50 bud decent 3 to 5 hit weed. decent head with a sleepy time come down and nice body high to ease the arthritic pain in my joints.
SOL, DJ and Red did a nice job.
here is a pic of the ort male. I kept a cut but of course, don't know what I will hit with it maybe a UBC CHEMO,J Wakeford or a herijuana. guess it depend on my old seed stock.
kept both swt males as well but that auto flower crap is getting old so they will most likely get the ax.
Got a feeling most of my seed stash is bird seed. Going to try some gibberellic acid and see if that helps my germ rates. Sure can't hurt.
once I get through the old box it'll be time to move on to some more modern stock to see what I'm missing.
Hey GP I remember that pic from some of reds threads. thanks for posting it. Looks like my old Ortega. Thick cola on that lady. The only plant to ever give me mold issues.
OG brings back a lot of memories. remember being paranoid as hell during the crash. everyone scrambling to clean house not the best situation. That was the begging of the end for me then HG started getting pressure and that was it. Times sure have changed . I'm digging the new vibe with legalization and all the new medi states.
Swt pheno has handled the heat and humidity much better than the Ortega.
Nice tribute to red and legends. I remember when high times was building LUI up to be the next great thing but never really took of like the SD or the kush lines.
I still have a pack of strawberry blonde x blockhead and a few other legends strains to sort.
