I had 9 this round but trashed them because they were going in 15-20 days later and were ridiculously light starved as a result since my as noobed it with completely lanky 60 inch plants this time. Starting soil they were transplanted screwedem from the get go gavem real stringy growth and topping didn't help near as much so I called it a bust and will do them after this next round to see if they are worth keeping around hope some of you who have those let me know what you run into good or not.

I'll be posting an update in a day or two.. things are looking pretty good.
 
Satellite fuel: 18/24
WBK: so far 8/15. Not sure what happened here. Could be my fault. These seemed to be a bit slower to germinate, and more may come up soon. Final count in a day or two.
Lashkar Gah freebs: 3/5
Purple Peyote x Querkle freebs: two sprouted so far, possibly 4/5 total, will know in a day or two.


Left to right:

first row: Lashkar Gah
second: Purple x Querkle
Next four rows: SF
Last three rows on right: WBK

Lookin good growboat don't know why you have low germ on WBK should be 15/15 on those popped many of them now and haven't heard anyone else get bad germ out of those either let me know if more come up.

I will update when I cut the wbk down on the 4th or 5th probably.

Was just doing a ripeness check today and it looks like I might want to take it to day 75-78. Here are some pictures from the mom I would keep from this pack:

Sweet pics man...I love that bud structure. I ended up getting 8/15 on the WBKs, + 1 mutant with a fatal embryonic defect. Down the tray I got 4/5 on the purple seeds Hammerhead was only getting 70% on. I seriously think it's probably something in my setup that the seeds did not like for some reason, like the dome, rapid rooters, temp, etc. I noticed these particular seeds were slow to germinate. It took 2-3 days for the first to pop up, noticeably slower than the SF. The indica-leaning phenos are big and hardy, but there are only two sativa phenos and they lagged behind in germination and early growth. So, my guess is the sativa part of whatever cross you made is the unhappy culprit. My reaction is basically this is a good thing because the seedlings that *did* make it are adapted to my particular circumstances; their offspring will only improve. I plant a lot of seeds so I don't sweat over losing a few. The SF are transplanted into solo cups and are getting all dug in and ready to veg. Leaves on this one are really fat. Not really much else to report on these yet until they get rooted and blow up a bit. I will be flowering them in the solo cups under T5 for the initial selection and testing, with further trials of the surviving candidates in the flower room proper.

Sativa is from the DJ blueberry sativa side of things so are the mutants and they average about 1 every 2 packs. It also contributes to the stretch and berry smell. Let me know if the WBK interests you enough to want another pack I'll see to it you get another. With RR's although I am sure you are aware you really have to watch temps and I plugged the top of the hole with those or flipped them over and made my own at the appropriate 1/3-1/2" deep. I personally do a 24 hour soak, use foxfarm ocean forest soil in 6 in pots, water with 1 cup, then plant the seeds at the stated depth and use a table spoon of water on the top of the soil to keep it gently moist at all times. Mine were up and out the very next day after planting. Everyone that has popped these that I have read had good germ rates. My last 2 germination's with my WBK were 100% and before that all 5 packs passed germ test so I would wager your environment or something. My WBK's this round were also 24-48 hours quicker than the same S. Fuel beans you popped. I have no problem throwin you another pack to explore if you wish though I have some extras around and as long as it is something that peaks your interest I'd be glad to help you out.

When I can't do the above germ method I use a plastic bag and a paper towel leaving the bag unsealed and the seed get a 15-24 hour soak as well. Not shy of straight CoCo in solo cups don't even have to worry about it drying out either or whether or not your humidity dome is killing everything because it does not require one just temps below 79.

GL and thanks for letting us know whats up. :tiphat:

Hot damn that looks dank!! How does she smell?? Much love bro! :respect: SL

This was the most OGK smelling, frostiest by a small margin, but heaviest yielding, nicest structure of the bunch so I chose it. Has a nice berry tinge to it although it needs to cure before I know final smell. The dry buds from the other plants have been curing for a few days now and they have a strong smell sort of sweet with a pronounced bluebonic berry smell hard to describe but not faint. Not much OGK smell in those two phenos. If I could describe the smell I would say it smells like blueberry ice cubes. When I breed this out more if people even want me to touch it I would be taking it to the White OGK side of things.

BTW Karma just did a drop of some beans and I would highly recommend you guys trying out his raw WOGK 2.0 it is extremely good yielding rank OGK. Grab some packs you will not regret growing out any of his lines. I very much wish to provide a product on the level of Karma, Tom Hill, Chimera, and Cannabiogen/Ace Seeds crew someday.

Hey Major had family in town for the last week back to normal now and I haven't seen that before on these although I have seen it before. S. Fuel will throw a mutant every 1-2 packs from the blueberry side of things my WBK does as well it is from the the mother and they will either be very nice or mediocre. I haven't seen a bad one, but that is not to say they aren't in there.

I cut down the ugly WBK pheno yesterday will post the uninspiring pictures tonight heh. She filled out way more than I expected at day 40 she was barren looked like my root bugs hit her full force but she recovered surprisingly. I still have the one 'keeper' pheno up she will be pulled on day 75 probably.

Will have WBK bud shots up soon to0 of the first 2 I cut down.

I am decommissioned for a couple of days I had a little grow room accident. I was barefoot got my toe stuck in a cord that was plugged into the wall trying to step over a 5 gallon bucket and fell, but fell on the foot that got caught after bouncing off a couple of plants and the wall (lol) and the foot landed right on the side of my flood table laying on the ground (was still upright) and it hit so hard it cracked the wall of the table in half with my foot and about cut my toe off. I went to the bathroom to put a band-aid on my finger, thought I cut it pretty bad, it also hit the side of the tray scraped off about 1/3 inch circle off the top of my finger but when I rinsed it off it didn't look so bad. All the sudden though I started to pass out, got nauseous, and I was fallen down so I went to lay down for a second cuz this happened when I stepped on a fluorescent bulb one time in the grow room too (lol) and noticed my foot! Took several minutes to feel what I had done. I tried to look at where I cut my foot cuz it was on the bottom side and when I did it was the strangest thing it made me pass out when I barely moved my toe. So I guess I hit a nerve or something weird it took forever for the pain the set in I had just smoked a nice bowl of Skunk hash though though maybe it helped. Anyways hurts to walk wish I had a video of my ninja moves to post when I got caught on the cord it was a really, really, long fall like half way across the room and even around a corner, lol. Should have moved the 5 gallon bucket instead of trying to step over it high as shit.

Anyways I packed all the beans up yesterday I will send in 80 packs as I expect this one to be sought after. It is a Sour Diesel Skunk cross with some really nice stinky and sticky yields. Connoisseur level buds and yield to boot. I renamed it from Brie de Meaux to Sour Skunk (Skunk x Sour Diesel) for those of you that felt uncool about ordering it a dispensary :p I will hopefully be able to hobble to the post office Monday and put them in the mail so testers should get them a little earlier than I thought.

15 seeds a pack.

Damn dude, I think we must be brothers from another mother because this sounds exactly like my grow room antics. Hope you heal up fast and I too wish you had captured the event on film. :D

Maybe this will raise your spirits a little
