Sunshine daydream x golden tiger, great yield, great bud structure. Smells like the bubba in the ssdd, chocolate and berries. Good mellow daytime smoke, very relaxing but not sleepy
I've been struggling with the new light and the cold temp in the tent, I'm going to run it indoors for the first time. I'm waiting for the clones and air layering to take so i can make some fem pollen for a branch indoors and some more outdoors this summer to keep this line going.. when the temp is a little warmer I will deal with the Ethiopians and use some of the pollen, both ways.
Got a couple more Bubblegum rocketships (Mosca Bubblegum s1 x Zamaldelica) going.
got another girl that decided to start growing 3 or more branches at each node. This the 3rd one outta 5 to do it so it might be something with this cross. filedata/fetch?filedataid=2039904
I find she's elegant.
Still TRSC Manipuri x ACE Lebanese Looks exactly like the Lebaneses i've grown before.
Only the leaf rub reminds of the Manipuri.
Hi everyone, l hope you’re all well.
In my attempts to lock down my Black Dog mother I’ve used numerous male plants, over the last seven years, in an attempt to find a plant that doesn’t have too many recessive genes and alows the female expression to shine through.
After listening to a pod cast with Mean Gene, Bio Vortex and Ganja Rebel, Gene dropped a bit of knowledge in that he uses plants with strong sativa genetics with indica strains to look for desired expressions and breed out the sativa dominance for more favourable genes.
The Golden Tiger male l used was, what l called, a Malowie dominant expression and the F1s were extremely Malowie dominant. My chosen male was an absolute beast with all the desirable traits l was looking for, including the tightest male floral clusters I’ve ever seen and a tap root that went down two feet, through my raised beds into the clay underneath and this is the only plant I’ve never been able to pull out of the ground by the stalk.
As a side note, all subsequent generations have expressed really solid branching and stem development.
Last winter l did a trial run with the incross and back cross generations just to see how they did and l used the best male for another incross and back cross generation, that I’m about to start testing; this came from the back cross. The incross females exhibited a significant difference between flowering times but the keepers all smelt of extreme geranium.
The incross (one) was quite sativa dominant and all the plants were quite uniform although there were green and purple expressions as to be expected. The back cross (one) demonstrated a lot more potential with both sativa and indica dominant expressions.
This is the result of this summer’s testing. They’re in, cut off, two litre milk cartons, to test for vigour, flower development/ times with no/ little food, over and under watering, stretch, pest and disease resistance and stem development.
The flowers of the indica doms are extremely chunky and the smells are slightly nuanced but resin development is completely different between plants. I’ve just cut the tops off for testing and I’m about to put them under a light to check for reveg with limited leaf on the flowers that are left.
The cheeky chaps over at the “Malowie Cob” thread believe I’m watering down amazing sativa genetics but I’m actually trying to breed them out completely in order for my beautiful Black Dog mother to shine in seed form and the GT is the first male I’ve found that, at this stage, alows this to happen. All the other males I’ve used have never made it pass the initial round of testing lettleone the second round of incross, back cross trials.
Cheers,

Unintentional crosses between Zamaldelicas and Ace Mix Regulars. Four tiny mothers, one of which a zam, produced about 200 seeds.
"G" Day 54f. This plant was very vigorous during veg, starting flower the same size as plants twice as old. Cream soda smell and very temping looking buds.
"G" Top
"G" I love how these lowers look
From another batch, 10 days younger. By far the largest colas in the tent. Not a lot of frost though.
Also younger, but with better potential.
Not my cross, but one of the Ace Mix mothers revegged. This one has my favorite smell of anything yet. A mix of wood finish, solvent and lime/lemon that I can't get enough of. I'm tempted to think it has some Panama in it. This will be its first chance to actually grow.
Hey everyone,
here’s a photo of the back cross (one) plants (Black dog x GT) Bx1 The small plant has the desirable Black Dog mother terp profile but obviously further testing will be needed for flower development and effect.
The test plants left outside to search for resistance have excelled. Here’s a photo of two keepers that have had other plants rot all around them including the in cross. These plants are extremely resistant to frost, powdery mildew, botrytis, over and under-watering, low light levels and what ever the leaf spot disease is that I’m selecting against. Of course there are still members of the population that aren’t as resistant but still did pretty well for this late in the season.
This is an amazing starting point to spring board the breeding program from and a point to come back to if the breeding lines go awry in the future.
These plants are now going into a 24 hr wetable sulphur bath, before being up-potted and going under lights to reveg for cloning and further testing and seeding this coming season.
Cheers,
40.
