f13 leaning pheno's

f13 leaning pheno's

These are stringy frosty littler girls, probably the keepers of the run provided potency is decent. They for sure have ultra low yeild so they will never be commercial at all. But so far they look quality, which was the focus of this grow. I suspect by growth patterns, these might be the sativa leaning frost monsters of 'kind effect' I was looking for when I purchased the packs. Still have a pack in the fridge, I have one male with very similar growth characteristics as the green dreads...

Mrs. Cali is the big smoker in the house, most of these grows are to provide her with meds that help her, and recreational material as well to share with friends and fam. It's silly, this war on vegetables. Anyways, the SSSDH is her favorite. It was the first pack of beans we popped when the tent got put back up over a year ago. We actually had another cut that was surprisingly even strong than this one, but alas the mother was lost. Probably for the best, it was electric haze and very uncomfortable medicine, very hardcore racy heart sativa in no pleasent way. Only one other plant has come close to the quality of effect of our current SSSDH. She's loud, proud, hits hard, lasts long, fucks you up then cuddles after. We like her a lot.

La nina smells like rotten tropical fruit, similar to cindy99 "trash" pheno. Both have had a rough go at the spider mites, those are being controlled now by predatory mites... and look fugly.

SSSDH - connoisseur genetics, original release

La Nina - Mr Nice

Thanks for checking these posts out. Dont forget to look at the last page at the bottom for f13 mix phenos and lovely frosted DJ short buds

Just caught this thread after seeing a few of your posts in the f13 thread. Nice work, thanks for sharing. Did you keep any of the f13 pheno's?

 

[Ncali]

Hey meds, thanks for checking it out. The f13 had some special plants, of which I think the real string bean green one was an excellent effect, and horrible yield lol (needed to go a few more weeks though, lemon chem rubber smell) and one of the fox tailing with good chunky bud formation, but still blueberry smelling, females was a keeper. Waves of dreamy euphoria type effect, very lovely and no anxiety. l also kept a male with heavy leaf twist mutation, and purple stems. The plants that were large yeilders leaned too blueberry/mellow for me. The prettiest purple frost monster really didn't pan out in effect or terps sadly, great pics though. I have another pack I will search through too.

So I'm finishing up my other thread of ACE plants and crosses, and this thread is on hiatus until that finishes. Up next are more from DJs BBf4 father that was used in the f13 reproduction.

Lineup in Bout 6 weeks time:

Farmers fire x 5 (cherry pie x bbf4)
SSDD x 3 (bohdi seeds)
Granola funk x 4 (GSC x Wookie, bohdi)
Purple Maroc x 1 (Maroc hashplant x erd purt, Female Seeds Co.)

Thanks for the reply. I cant wait for my little girls to get bigger. I just pulled down a pack of farmers fire. I think your gonna be happy. I haven't had a chance to inspect them closely, but at harvest, they were strong smelling cherries, blueberries, n cookie aroma in the background. Amazing aromas. Cookie type bud formation from my first glance at them from harvy. I got a couple harvest pics Ill try and hunt down later.

Hello NCali . I have some f13 seeds from early 2015 and getting ready to start them. How old do you think your seeds where of your F13 originals you did recently?

Let's go.

Hopefully we can yield nice buds.... but very many seeds from very variegated f13s would be a huge success.

Soil Changes

Soil Changes

In the last year I have been doing a lot of work enhancing and enriching my soil recipe. I just recycle soil after a flowering cycle is finished. One day, space permitting, I plan to do some no till beds.



In my experience, an organic medium just has been the best flower & terps to date, and it is so simple a regimen to maintain. One can get fancy with teas and complex recipes and the like,or like me, you can do nearly all water and walk away with buds that have people scratching their heads at what in the hell they've been buying in dispensaries for all previous years. I plan to just keep enhancing my soil game for the future.


My goal is to eventually have almost all locally sourced amendments (within 100mi) that are reasonable in price & procurement without compromising quality of soil. Ideally, I would have it all be sourced in a way that is responsible and sustainable. Malibu Compost is a great example of one of the amendments that checks my boxes for these criteria, and then some. However, not everyone that sells "organic" products have high standards, organic game is wild wild west right now in the USA. So, take all that high and mighty stuff with a grain of salt, because honestly a lot of people in this industry lie like a dog on a rug.


Originally I had started with a FFOF base and amended with kelp,alfalfa, & guano as the soil started to fade. This yielded OK results but I have done some research, listened to podcasts, took a big drink of the Coot-aide.




Current amendments:


Dr Earth Kelp meal
Dr Earth Alfalfa meal
Sunleaves Indonesian Bat Guano
Earthworm castings
Malibu Compost Biodynamic 'bu blend
Neptune's Crab & lobster meal
supomag
Oystershell powder
Great White mycorrhizae inoculations at transplants


coco-coir/perlite/peat moss as needed.

Also doing some Lacto-bacteria culture and some malted barley seed/root powder, shit is magic. Some people get really fancy with aerated tea's and what not, but that's too much work. I have some fish emulsion for the first weeks of veg to give the soil mix a little bacterial primer if its been sitting in the storage box stagnant for too long. And that's it besides water.

Maybe that sounds like a lot. But I have found it to be like a 'set-it-and-forget-it" type of recipe. Maybe more like "shake&bake" because of how much mixing it takes haha. The hard work for me was only in the original build of the soil. Every round I do a little maintenance and amend the soil based on the grow/age and return & mix used soil to a large bin to rest until needed.

I am trying to phase out and use up the remaining Dr Earth and sunleaves, shit's expensive and really does not scale well at all. I'd like to start phasing in better sourced alfalfa and kelp meal, and the compost has enough Phosphorus that I shouldn't need the guano once it's gone.

Next up is the plant selections that I made for this current grow and personal-use seed run!!

Varigations have proven the best quality, so far...

Varigations have proven the best quality, so far...

So I was only able to obtain one pack of the last release of original f-13 from DJ. Of those, only 7 sprouted tap roots. Of those, 5 broke ground. Of those, 4 survived seedling stage (one of our cats thinks DJ's work is delcious too) of those 4... 3 have excellent characteristics for what I found to be great markers when I grew the f13 throwbacks. Heavy leaf variegation and purple stems, a like reddish purple hue that's easy to spot...



Of those 3 beautiful plants, 2 are female.

One has a more ...studly .. appearance

Provided he proves to be capable, I hope to stud him out to some of my cuts and some f13 plants. I have two f13 throwback selections, one very "flo" leaning girl and one braided rope looking freak pheno that looks like hell in a jar, smokes like a god damn champ in a joint. So that makes 5 girls that are f13 in relation to the male, and then a few other things that I just think might marry themselves to f13 rather well for starters:


g13-haze: Cause you know, haze hybrids and terps and shit are always awesome

Ace- Panama: Central American sativa hybrid meets HOGxPThai, yes please (I am in love with fine Mexican and Central American weed)



Rainbow Driver: An Archive modern poly-hybrid to see how this male does against one of the current day mash up strains.



Golden Tiger (Chang Mai Thai x Killer Malawi): electric-ass thai hybrid crossed to classic mellow creeper hybrid in the f13, might have a very unique effect... I expect the offspring will look ugly as sin hahaha.


Well, wish me luck IcMag friends!

F13 seed preservation chugging along

I really love the look of ACE panama, as per usual amazing smells from the panama, vigor like no other. ACE puts out crazy good seed stock.

I have CSI Humboldt chem 91 s1, pure ogk x chem91, and purp urkle x chem91 on deck. Planning on running some male haze crosses to play around with these fine girls. The CSI gear are some of the most vigorous seeds I've ever popped. I am excited.

Few weeks further along

F13 Male is in full bloom now.

G13hz

Panama smelling nice

Chang Mai Thailand x Killer Malawi, waiting for pollen

F13 original girl smelling of crazy anise, very strong, very frosty

I hope I can take some more cuts of that last f13, she is the winner cut of the group minus some sterile nanners every so often. I've been having trouble taking cuts from her. One more try with cuttings/clones then we'll try reveg path if I cant get cuts to take root...

Coming up next I have CSI gear (chem 91 s1s, chem crosses, OG kush mash ups, purp urk etc) and I'm looking to put either Nevils haze x Mango haze male or ((nevils haze x mango haze) x golden tiger) male on those girls, I am still mulling it over. I want to try some chem dog gene pools x haze/heavy tropical sativas... I'm just copycatting some ones pollen recipe in my little pollen chucking attempts. Seems like a good recipe for the Nev Haze x Everything folks, I'll see what happens here.

Best wishes IC, much love

She throws a lot of sterile manners, not my favorite plant to grow right now. She's not super happy, but she's pretty. Also very very low yields, and crazy color is due to the very cold temps here right now...

Your garden is looking nice amigo for some reason colorful cannabis plants are my favorite. I'm curious how those chem 91 genetics turn out. I've yet to grow anything out of that side of the chem family.

panama &f13 end of flower

An enjoyable grow. I really love growing panama and her crosses. F13 got some nice nice flower. The male was frosty, spicey smelling, and resinous ... but prduced few few pollen spores. I kept him and well try again for more seeds, so far we have a handful of panama x f13 only. Not my most successful seed run.


Panama.

F13 tb and f13. Can you tell the difference?

F13 tb. Cinnamon baked goods, like snickerdoodles. Just as its cured. When it was growing it was spice & floral

F13 original. Floral, fruit/sweet grape, funk.

 

[Ncali]

Just a few picks with hps and without. From the back, left corner going clockeise. CSI- Chem dog s1 x2, Artifact Seeds - Rainbow driver, CSI- Virgin purple, Homemade- nevils mango x golden tiger, MNS - Nevils Mango, CSI-Pure OG.

The chem91 s1 and pure og are calmag sloots, not too happy in the first pick. Theyre sharpening up with added calmag.

couple weeks flower

couple weeks flower

Very early. Took cuts of the csi girls.

All of Nspecta's gear looks and smells amazing. Of the CSI plants, the stand out growth and health wise is not surprising: Virgin Purple. Its pure og kush x purple Urkle. The plant with the least amount of chem/og genetics haha. (Middle row, rightside) I think I could dial the others in some to increase their health.

The chemog s1s are great, one looks like an og kush leaner, tall and lanky. (Back center) The other has sawblades for leaves (back left, bad pic here sorry). The pure og kush x chem smells like vintage OG kush, love it. (Middle row left)

The nevils haze mango are both males. (Fromt left) They will both be pollen donors this round, they seem to be pretty typical NHM specimens. I grow a fair amount of nhm plants over the years. These two males meet this projects standards. The only thing I wanted to avoid from the gene pool is the stocky nl5 pheno for the purpose of this project(chem family females vs haze hybrid males) Its a cool pheno, dont get me wrong.

The NHM x GT are sadly both female.(front right). They are the best plants in the tent right now. I have hundreds more beans of these, so in the big picture no worries. Ill do more searching, might do a grow of those beans and afgan haze next round.

The nevils haze mango mother of the (NHM x GT) cross was a very special plant, botanically the most aesthetically beautiful plant I've grown in my recollection. Beautiful vibrant green foliage, smells of sweet mango and peaches with no cat piss. Most of my nevils haze mango have some level of the peepee. The flower structure was whispy, I dont think I could have grown it better in my set up, its buds just never up to par, even for nld plant standards I have. Thats why she was culled, to make room in the small stable for something that does excel in my conditions. It was a sad one to let go, but its wonderful to know that 2/2 of her progeny have her asthetics. Her dads no slouch, maybe its a nice match.

This thread is all about searching through certain genepools and finding interesting individuals. Im always looking for new things: High, terps, or tools for a pollen chuckin closet farmer. I love the grind. For some its about getting dank buds, hash etc. Right now and the coming weeks is what i like about growin, having beautiful plants.

Much love GC
