lebanese seedrun. leb x leb s and a leb2 clone in my passion flower bed. some mature seeds popping out the preflower areas and rest still immature. fair enough. leb 1 male is still producing a few new pollen sacs too. the early skunk are not early , but smell strong . the strongest smelling one i cloned and saved in case its any good. early skunk 6ft in a 1 litre pot lol and not flowering, preflowers have been hit with pollen though and i have a bit of leb pollen saved and a live plant still producing so the early skunk should still give me a few seeds.

lebanize it, and i will advertise it.

oldtimer second pheno seed harvest. hundreds of the second pheno. both phenotypes very similar. not the most enjoyable smoke, but i know they are heavily bottlenecked. more pollen chucker stock for me . i will sieve out the good seeds and label up for storage and future use.

 

[zaprjaques]

whats it like? why no enjoyment?

 

[shiva82]

It smokes like a heavily inbred seeded sativa . the beauty of old timer is in it's offspring . i think i would need to grow 100- 500 of these oldtimer haze to find a stand out smoke. I have quite a high tolerance, i'm not proud of that either . I only grew them to make more seed stock and to outcross. all the left over bud and leaf material i'm going to spin later.

oldtimerhaze x cataract kush from about 15 years ago. the male and female used were not the best and from few numbers. the oldtimer makes monster plants . these all wanted to grow through the ceiling . my nate made the cross and i grew them all out . grew loads of them. old timer in my opinion is a magical breeding stud

 

[zaprjaques]

everybody got their own tolerance, nothing wrong with that. so its rather on the light side of the spectrum, might change with time as many swear on a long cure... and on the other hand i get what youre saying, working with small seed stock and selecting for whatever traits make it bottlenecked. ace got only 50 seeds or so.
i'm sure its outcrosses will bring out some nice specimens.

i won't be long curing it pal, its all a pile of dust now and it will go into hash. a premium clone only type pheno i would long cure etc. i took a small bud off the peach last night. speed dried in one day , and two weeks early , wow . already good. thats how i determine whats worth sitting on and curing . Some strains do improve with a long cure and others don't. i quite like the harsher smoke and fresh terps. it's always subjective things like that. for example the daydream starts off as a guava note when dried and fresh still, then it gets less fruity and more like butter and coffee chocolate. some people love that and prefer the later complexity . I like the fresh guava notes early on. Same with making hash and rosin and concentrates, many different methods combinations to make different products just from one type. its cool as fuck

 

[shiva82]

more oldtimerhaze x cataractkush . stacks on stacks pheno. i always thought while growing them out of i could select better parents in the future ,that i would make similar crosses with to better them. good fun to grow , always a monster plant

 

[shiva82]

another pheno ,mid flowering cycle , of the same batch of seed.over a decade ago. using old timer as the stud.

 

[shiva82]

all the lebanese seeds and its hybrids i will use each season outdoors in the uk , and just pollinate the best females every year with all my favourite males and see where i end up. i have no idea what will be a success or not. climate will dictate that and i will just select appropriate to environment. i may emigrate in the future though

 

[shiva82]

my next grow indoor for personal smoke .violeta .5 out of 6 . four of these i will flower and i will give the spare one to a friend local to me to flower at same time.

 

[shiva82]

possibly the last time using my tent . i think i'm going to take my tent down and give it away and use my gavita pro 1000 instead of 2 x 315 watt cmh. it will cost more to run obviously and it means altering my room to maximise height but it will allow me grow out my haze hybrids as trees and with less training . This round in the tent i will run 4 x violeta and the best looking 4 x hindukushxparadisecheese females. I love cmh , but i also love the buds that the double end gavitas produce.

 

[shiva82]

oldtimer haze hash. i span the pile of old timer dust in my tumbler to see what it would yield. not much at all and full of plant debris. I pressed it through a filter to clean it up , and it has oxidized up and made a dark opium looking hash. A bit crap , but better than nothing. will save it for a rainy day.

utopia haze. brazilian landrace ,reworked indoor, so they say. Nice plant so far . i like her , regardless of her mystery heritage.
