These are strains I've developed over the years from crossing genes sourced from all over.
My current project is Sherb Cream Pie crosses. A plant from here in the Midwest.
Thank you for your interest.

4/13 Update
The first batch of the Sherb Cream Pie crosses is starting to finish, while the second batch is just 2 weeks into bloom. I’ll be spending a lot of time on these with a pile of data to share.
The Aero Room continues to roll along with alternating pick and plant weeks. You will see more of this room in the Cream Pie updates.
The Dirt Room is really what this update is all about. Since this is going to be my last run of big dirt girls, I’m goin out with a bang!
al's Organic BOOM Bloom Tea
Into a 5 gallon bucket of RO water with a vigorous airstone add:
Our Beastie Collection:
1 tspn Great White
30 ml Micro Hydroponics Fruit & Vegetable Yield Enhancer
30 ml Micro Hydroponics Photosynthesis Plus
30 ml Micro Hydroponics Vitamins & Amino Acids
Shit From Around the World:
2 Tblspn Worm Castings
2 Tblspn Peruvian Seabird Guano
2 Tblspn Fox Farms Happy Frog
2 Tblspn Pappa’s Perfect Poop
Other Stuff:
4 Tblspn Epson Salts
4 tspn Organic Molasses
1 inch cube of compressed alfalfa*
*(forgot to mention this in the video)
After brewing for 24-48 hours, mix vigorously and dilute with RO water to a ratio of about one third tea to water. Leave all the particulates in suspension as you water. These solids will help revitalize the dirt.
So shake your can!
Here’s a video as the Dirt Room gets flipped and I go through making tea and how it works:

This thread is impressive, specially knowing it's what you were able to make after a huge fire, good job.
I see you're using very different methods of growing in the different rooms, do you have a favorite for the finished product?
Would you rather smoke the buds from the earo garden or the dirt one?
A fellow grower has also 2 different grow spaces, one in soil and one with the same hydro set-up you have but he sells the hydro buds and keep for him the buds coming from the soil garden. He only keeps the trim from the hydro grow to make some bubble hasch.

Thanx for the kind words.
I prefer aero by a quite a bit. Here in MI, everything gets tested and aero versions beat dirt consistently by a couple %THC. And I'm always messing with at a dozen different strains,
Of course I work real hard to get the flavor and smell of my best soil organic grown bud using Aero Tea in my syntho/biotic aeroponic technique.
The Aero room outperforms the Dirt room on every metric: production, quality, speed, waste products, and power use.
So much so, that this will be my last dirt run, as we are converting everything to aero. My new team has been growing trees in that space for 30 years and just marvel at it.
But you know I just love organic dirt grows. Just going to miss views like this as I sit here posting this:
Can't wait to see these in a month and a half!
Thanx for your interest.

6/6 Garden Update
The Rescue Ranch got a 64 site cloner added to the herd, giving us 384 sites to work with.
The Veg Machine with updated trellis:
Unit 5 in the Aero Room is finished and getting cut. It has 24 unknown individuals, mostly the Sherb Cream Pie crosses.
Here’s a short video update on this experiment with more details:
The Dirt Room is just a few weeks from done:
Here’s a short walk through of both rooms:

I love your work friend it's amazing how killer those strains look.
7/13 Garden Update
Was a year ago yesterday when this happened:
Which led to this:
Here’s the video:
A LOT has happened since this reset button was pushed on my life. We lost our car, 1 cat, our house and all of our belongings. Much of my lab was saved. About half of my equipment and living library were destroyed. ALL of my 30 year old seed collection, including ALL the seeds I have created over the years was incinerated. The seeds I made over the last year were reduced to this puddle of plastic:
Out of these ashes, I have worked every day – with the fantastic help of family and friends – on the Pheonix Project that this thread documents.
And my we have come a long ways! The latest als_weed video on YouTube has over 10,000 views!
You can see it here:
Day 70 Bloom - Giant Organic Trees at the Chop - YouTube
We may have found a special plant in the rubble as well – Angel Cream Pie #1. The Sherb Cream Pie crosses have given us this outstanding plant and a couple more excellent ones.
I am growing out all of the parents and daughters in one unit. I plan on doing weekly updates in the Sherb Cream Cross thread here:
7 Crosses of Sherb Cream Pie | International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
I still have a pile of work to do, but I promise to get updates done asap!
Angel Cream Pie has wings indeed, but the hard work in the steps needed to create a fully operational Aero Barn were sloggingly taken every day by our team.
Thanks again to my friends and family that have let this old smoky bird get back in the air. The chance to soar is in our grasp!
Thank you for your attention,

Oh Brother!
And I thought I was having a hard time loosing all my plants due to a virus
Brother you are inspirational… reading you has pumped me up and giving me wings!
I wish you all the best, and the phoenix is rising and will fly even better and higher, am sure of that
Wish I could have been of help as well, but all I can give is positive vibes and I believe you will soar even higher ( what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger)
Peace, love and respect
