She is almost ready to chop! Trichomes are milky with about 15% amber. Really impressed with this plant. She is still pushing out new pistols and looks like she could be stretched out. Once again thanks @Bay Seedsfor the beans! Was fun growing this and excited to see your work in the future.

And then there was 4... it’s only getting hotter Spraying profusely to keep the humidity lekke. But we getting some drizzles today.

This last year or two has been challenging and interesting. I have been the topic of both good and bad conversations. Realizing that it is because people generally don't know who I am, is why it has been such a multi polar experience. I started growing 10 years ago, fumbled around with bags seeds for a year or two, before gaining access to other imported genetics. What started me on my breeding journey was when I was given the Chocolope seeds from DNA genetics by another well known growmie back in 2013, who has undoubtedly touched all your lives in some way or another. I have since bred a few strains over the years, and established a rythem within the micro-breeding sector. The state of Cannabis back then was still rough, and most of my work had to be low key, and there are a few of the OG's on here that have been following what I have been doing. Even now I keep a lot of what I do low key, and within the reasonable limits that prevail. I am a father to two teenage boys, husband to a beautiful wife, and earn my living in the property maintenance sector. Cannabis is my passion though, and where all the extra time in my life pours into, and over the last 2 years I have been gravitating toward a full-time commitment. Sharing this through my seeds, my activism, is part of my drive to free the plant. Doing this has inadvertently thrust me into the public. A place I'm not yet used to or comfortable in as I'm generally a private person. However, I thought it a good place to treat this thread as a Q&A about my breeding. Here are a few that have have already recently popped up: Q: Where do you get your seeds? A: I do all my own pollination, and produce my own seeds. The plants I breed with are selected cuts from the original breeders seed stock and my own seed stock. Q: How do you manage to pheno hunt with so few plants? A: My pheno hunting spans across many growers tents, gardens and farm spaces, besides my own space. Q: Do you sell other peoples work/gear and pass it off as your own? A: No. I see myself as an ethical breeder. I am transparent about the genetics I work with, and credit the original breeder and their work. Q: Do you have any autos? A: No. Although there is a demand for them, to protect the photoperiod genetics I work with, I will not be working with autos at all into the foreseeable future. EDIT: I have since this actually started working on a few autoflower crosses, since making major changes to my setup. Q: Why are your prices so low? A: We are at an automatic disadvantage with our poor exchange rate when importing seeds. This makes it inaccessible to many more than you think. Part of my mission is to make good quality genetics available at prices everyone can afford. So, what do you want to know?

Some @Totemic Sure the hype is real on this one, and for good reason. Managed to get 6 of them up and at ’em ... looking forward to these, hope to find some good females.

End of week 3 for my auto Sour Diesel and WW3. Lots has happened but life has been a little crazy to update much at the moment.. Resolved my bag troubles (sorta) and decided to do the unthinkable and repot both of these autos. Before After They didnt seem stressed at all. Got them at just the point their roots were beginning to reach the bottom of the old 5l pots they were in. On that note... Store agreed I got the wrong bags... definitely 5l and not 10s. Generously offered to replace the 10s free of charge which was the nicest and best outcome I could have hoped for. The problem is... [emoji23] I think this time they gave me 22s instead of 10s. Wtf [emoji23] I guess that settled that for me... 22s it is! Pictured above is the newest addition to my grow journal... *Fast Buds Green Crack CBD*. Potted in a 15l bag from GroHydro. She is end week 1 now. The "10l" replacement bags dwarf the 15l grohydro bag. They also took ALL the soil I had left to fill... so the *WW3* is now in a half FF premium/ half St Clements Nursery special. Even the *SD* has a bit or st Clements on top. Also... biobizz is expensive AF. So have only commenced belatedly (week 2) with root juice. And week 3 with Fishmix. Still have a little of my bioheaven sample so using that as well. Sprayed a few times with neem oil and planted some sacrificial nasturtiums and marigolds to distract the bugs. Seems to be working. Sacrificials getting swamped by the wildlife around these parts. Can I stop for a minute to mention the bugs. Holy Moly the bugs. Lucky none have made it onto the main grow but the pilot grow has been chewed up a bit. Seen some weird critters though. Hows this guy. Well... what was left of this guy after I stabbed him with a long stick from faaarrr away. Only half joking. Also these okes on my nasturtiums These okes are getting pyrol'd asap. Something seems to chow a lot of my flowers often before they can open. When I investigate I find tonnes of lady bird looking critters but not much else. Sprayed all flowers and my tomatoes and strawberries with neem lol. Next week pyrol if it keeps happening. Anyways... They both responded incredibly well to the transplant. Perhaps aided by the velcro sides, they showed no signs of strain at all. So I started LSTing them sommer there and then. You only live once right. I'm not really happy with how I did it this time. Was hoping for more of what I got training my pilot grow... Will work on it. Think that is the highlights reel for you all. Happy holidays yo. Updates will be infrequent till 2021 I am sure. Peace Growmies. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Likewise, when farmers used to sometimes see me run they would say I am obviously not working hard enough. Manual labour on a farm is hard work, I call it FarmFitx. Racking is stretching, carrying water buckets is shoulders, turning compost is waist, upper arms etc.....

I dont do any running. I can't. But I make up for with mostly physical labour to keep fit. It's not that cannabis gives me energy. It's more of a whole body motivation that gets me very focused and charging through a task.

I didn't think there were many/any of us left on this forum. I was TrailBlazer on that old forum. That was an age ago though. Good times...

expert grower my ass! Hehehehe average.. I am a average grower with a bit of experience. Also have to say.. I think the moderators of the board do a very good job, see zero reason why I should have some 'role' here. Beside my English is just not up to the task. Best advice I can give.. enjoy what you do and it will always end well. Have a sexy weekend folks!

I was on that forum too

I think maybe that same cat gave me some DNA genetics gear around 2013 as well. I assume you were also on weed.co.za forum back in the day?
