no probs...lol...
i hope all is well...
i know it's been awhile since i have updated this thread. For that, i apologize. been goin through alot of bullshit with a person about a business that could have been great, but ended up going a different direction, too many questions, not enough answers so, i stepped away from it. In the long run it cost me a friendship, but saved me alot of legal hassles. One thing i found out about this particular business/industry, as far as partnerships go, trust and loyalty is major factor for success. once thats compromised it goes south FAST. this is the 3rd time i have gotten involved with another person involving this "product", and ALL 3 times it failed miserably, and at the cost of a friendship. i made a move to Colorado a few years ago that turned out to be a bust, but i learned more about the business/industry, and legal aspects of it as well. each time was a learning curve. now i know what to do. lol so whenever some one approaches you about a fantastic opportunity with regards to cannabis, sit down with this person and watch the movie, Treasure of the Sierra Madre. an old Humpry Bogart movie, then talk about the "Business Adventure"....lol...
ok, Now the update goes as follows...the 3 plants i had in bud, all died in my arms, sad. this is the first time i have ever had problems with my "hydro technique". couldnt get a rootball goin, had water problems, couldnt keep the Ph controlled. it was frustrating as hell. clones diein left and right. 2 cyles went to crap... the ONLY good thing that came of this whole mess was one Dr. Grinspoon cuttin survived, the one that i took, i had to clone right off the plant, i gave it to another grower to try and do something with it. my 3rd cycle is doin ok now only because i switched to soil. I know what your thinkin, Soil?, Crate you suck at soil projects....lol, i got no choice. so far, they are doin great. im using the Michigan based M3 Mix, everything is included, just add water...cant get no simpler than that. from what i can tell, its a variation of a "Super Soil", but its workin...
i think i found the girls in the 3rd cycle, one strain gave me 4 different boys and one girl...that would be the Mikado/F13 x Rom x Herijuana strain, i hope its a potent plant.... the next was 1 boy, 1 girl of the Sensi Star x Long Bottom Leaf strain...and the other was G13 x Strawberry diesel strain, looks like 1 girl, 1 Boy there too. i wont keep any boys this time around because they arent my strains and out of respect to the breeder i wont do any crossin. i know your sayin what difference does it make, who would know? its just something i do. he was generous enough to share his genetics with me, and that kinda of trust and loyalty with me goes along way, i will simply enjoy the gift....a pic of the next cycle before i transplant and clone...
...
Provisional Seeds was able to get me my long awaited wish list item, to them i thank you very much...and with that new strain i will do some crossin/breedin, only because this particular strain is being discontinued by the breeder. the strain is Mental Floss by Chimera. i been lookin for this strain for sometime, as ironic as the story goes, i got the last 2 packs right before being discontinued, lol..wtf...lol
Oh Yea, get this... i took a cuttin from my Darkness/Durga Mata cross before it went into bud and eventually died off, and remember i had a male of that as well. i noted that his clone had little pods hangin and opening, but the female was still in veg and as young as he...guess what happened, my babies did it anyways...lol i didnt have any desire to breed this strain out cause it thought i wasnt that good....one day my son finds a branch from that harvest that gave me very little but enough to decide it wasnt worth any further projects...WRONG!!, that bud he found was sticky as hell and it was tasty and potent....but i already threw out the male and his cuttin...damn it!!...Wait a minute, hold up man, the young female now has little seed pods on each branch right at the crotch of each node...LOL, that has never happened to me before, its still in vegg, but producing seeds from the accidental pollinating.... so i havent done anything but let it remain in 18/6, continue to transition to soil from hydro and then i will put it into bud soon. the bud head sites are still there but not formed, so i will be able to harvest seeds before i put it into 12/12....this is awesome, the strain will live on to some extent. The Creator must have known it was worth saving and took matters into his own hands to continue this particular strain and have them breed in spite of my non-involvement....amazing. you can see the seed pods on the main stalk at each node, and the bud head untouched...it is a pretty plant....gonna let it vegg till the seeds are done, and i see a few pods gettin ready to open and spit out the finished bean....
