Frankster's new coco grow. custom formulated salts; microorganism & enzyme propagation; frugal low $$$ homemade fertilizer regime.

Alright; thought I would start another thread on this; since it's getting close; Here's the lineup; many thanks @BudGoodman for the hard work with the cuts. I'm really excited.
Here's earlier pics when arrived;

Here' we go!

First up;
Rude Boi OG cut; RudeBoi OG is an indica-dominant strain that brings together genetics from two OG Kush phenotypes: Irene OG and a backcrossed Face Off OG. This was the most stressed out of the bunch, so why I've been holding back from documenting this grow, thus far.

Next up is the cut of White Tahoe Cookies. White Tahoe Cookies, also known as "Tahoe Cookies," is an indica marijuana strain made by crossing The White, Tahoe OG, and an unknown Girl Scout Cookies cut.

Next is the cut of Purple Punch; Purple Punch is the sweet and sedating union of two indica-dominant classics. By breeding Larry OG with Granddaddy Purple, the astonishing trichome laden Purple Punch was born, smelling of grape candy, blueberry muffins, and tart Kool-Aid. The potency of this strain gives a one-two punch to the head and body, initially landing between the eyes and settling down into the limbs.

Now for the seed show; which is a few stuff taken from these beloved Gorilla Crosses x GDP; (and one other) they've been very impressive these last few runs. Smelly, thick, dank smoke.

And 2 cuts off the verified female Landrace Thai (clones), I think this is the best selection for the cloning project. See if I can maybe get some tissue cultures going here. Very peculiar smell, lanky and fast growing.

There we go; enjoy the show everyone; and thanks for watching.

Pulled up my chair and ready for the show Frank!

I better grab a chair before they are taken..im in..

Playing around with some of the training here, by removing big fan leaves early one to increase budding sites. I think the training works better, this has taken some time for them to recoup. Hopefully, I've settled in here, and can start ramping it up.

Everything is transferred over to pots now. Some of the smaller GG sprouts were the last to be up potted.


One of the Thai landrace. Looks like the purple punch there to the right.

This is the White Tahoe cookies.

The Rude Boi OG is coming around. It curled up a bit when first transplanted, starting to come out of it some.

The Group picture. Finally starting to get some of these trace def worked out, there hungry it seems. duh.

Starting the flip in the next few days. Got a few plants cooking in the dark for feminization.

More GDP Gorilla crosses, I think there's some WW x GG also.

Here we go again. Starting to wind up. Flipped a few days back and starting to show; stretch there wings too fly. Really impressed with the vigor of this purple punch (front and center) I broke a giant branch off it fucking around, but all is good. I put them in the cloner and hopefully some of them will take.

Been spraying them pretty good with amino acids/hormones this time around during the flip; I've got a technique I'm trying to hone to increase budding site; seems to be working well, but can certainly be overdone. Note the last pic; with a little tip burn.


Once I get my pollens rolling in the front side well, maybe I'll cut some of it back; and place one or two of these up there, it's going to be a maintence issue managing the size of this grow, in it's space. Same problems; different day.

Never enuff room is there! Lmao

Agreed; always the main issue. So very limited by space. I figure pull one of those up later on into the front tent; possibly. depending on progress. I'd like to get feminzed landrace Thai off the ground, mostly shooting it with itself, and gorillas, a few blueberries.

Wondering which pheno I should use for hitting the bottoms in back tent. Plan on touching up Rude Boi OG; Tahoe Cookies and Purple Punch clones. I really think Landrace Thai might be interesting choice; ie. Making them bigger; lankier, more sativa leaning. Outdoor friendly; increased summer; heat; south tolerance. ect. Without adding to much flowering time. That's the main issue, IMO in it's current form. Thus the short flowering landrace cross.


Project tent;
One Thai got a major haircut at start of flip, it was too much; let the second go wild for now. Buzzcut Thai one is on the back right, the obvious back left... Feminized everything, cross shooting everywhere. ><^ The ugly little one is special IMO; it's Bud's Old Blueberry cut; being re-vegged. Just need a few pollens; should be fine...

Front left and front right are actually 2 plants in each container, all different Gorilla x GDP phenotypes; or straight Gorilla. (fem. seed) Pollens are popping; even Grandaddy Gorilla which is a tuff customer to feminize. I started really early this time with a fresh mix batch. I'm good to go; no more treatments needed; doing one more for good measure; I want it to female back, so I can get seed from everyone. Used an entire quart of Silver Thiosulfate Solution(STS) on this batch.

Glycine, really loving this one, me and the plants Both. fantastic tart-sweet taste; compared to the slightly more bland GABA, and simpler. Plus the actinobacteria I'm using can efficiently metabolize it.

An amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest stable amino acid (carbamic acid is unstable), with formula NH2-CH2-COOH

It is encoded by all codons starting with GG (GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG). Glycine is integral to the formation of alpha helices in secondary protein structures due to its compact form. For the same reason, it is the most abundant amino acid in triple-helices. Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter which controls muscle relaxation.

Best of all, Glycine is a colorless, sweet-tasting crystalline solid. It is the only achiral proteinogenic amino acid. It can fit into hydrophilic or hydrophobic environments, due to its minimum side chain of only one hydrogen atom. The acyl radical is glycyl.

Yea, I'm real excited about that one actually. lol, here's a pic of it's mom?/sister? Bud grew out earlier this year. She is a beauty; and so much vigor. Truly an impressive looking plant. Hope I can do it justice. He set the bar pretty high there.

 

[Observationist]

nice!

Here we go; front tent. The landrace Thai doing it's thing. Everything in full bloom. Other tent in back is surely getting some crossover effect. All mostly short flowering; frosty moderns; melded to a massive long flowering Sativa. Thai being removed soon enough, I believe. don't want it too overwhelmed with seed. I beat down some buds with pollens yesterday, will do it one more time tomorrow, I suppose. Still want to get a few decent flowers also.

Going to be a real interesting situation this time around; lots of high grade cuts in here; bred with a very crazy old-school landrace Thai shipped strait from the Gulf of Thailand. Thanks @sambapati for hooking a brother up.

I'm really looking forward to what this breed session will produce. Should be some really large; heat tolerant; all the way to Indica dom tight internodes; fast flowering; so it should be all over the map. Hopefully the Thai imparts unique smells; size; vigor, distinction. That's what I'm shooting for here.
