The never ending hunt continues. What an utter disappointment Grandpa's Cookies and XXX were for me though, people think the bud is amazing but I'm just happy to be rid of it.

This is my favorite at the moment, just so happens to be my own cross 
Nevill's Haze x Peanut butter breath
Doesn't look as nice but damn it's got some flavor and strength.

I found a little nanner cluster deep in the middle of the huckmonkey. It was weird, it was where the single preflowers usually are. Gonna have to keep an eye out but I’m down with some fem seeds.
Gah!! I'm glad you guys take it so lightly.  As the breeder it makes me want to tear my hair out. Initially. But as the breeder it's also the report I need to hear. Besides "it was killer" lol. I track everything. Especially with my obsession regarding hermaphroditism, intersex, nannering, whatever the fuck one wants to call it. *Note: My anality lies with the grammar there mostly btw. There is no verb for something becoming a hermaphrodite. Anyways, that's another rant. One that involves people, chickens and frogs. Back on track, out of the 14 people here on Shroomery that have the F2, two have reported mild nanners. Hopefully none are not reporting in hopes of not damaging my pride. It's ok to report. I'm breeding my pride too and a stress test now and then is a good thing. A handful of people at Mycotech have it with zero reports. On this side of the screen the crew has grown 240 plus now with only 8 that nannered. Two of these guys are brutal growers and I stress test frequently (both intentionally and not lol) so that's not too bad. Even if the 240 is cut in half taking clones and feminized seeds into consideration. If you're still reading this eventually leads to an observation. I typically grow from seed. Always on the hunt. El Natural with no topping, training or defol. I wanna see them rip. Although she handles heat, drought, nutritional deficiencies very well, (she's well taught) the reports seem to be related to LST. Something I'm going to take a closer look at. It's not something I was unprepared for however. Tells me I need a better male when it goes to F3 again. Being I just found a nanner on that Amnesia Lemon I grew a while back I'm still feeling pretty good about the mother clone. I highly doubt there's a catastrophic failure in the future although there's always a chance with all genetics but the F2 mother clone is pretty solid. She sees topping and and manicure from time to time and even some stem bending. Supporting my male theory.. yep here he goes lol, he wasn't hard to reverse. He didn't turn really fast either but he was mostly selected for color, terps and structure. In general males are very sensitive to wilt or chopping stress. I've seen LST trigger flowering. He cloned ok but never wilted or was bent. Should probably add these to male selection testing. Supporting my female theory. The mother clone has never nannered nor have any of the S1 seeds generated from her. She's so solid and takes such a beating I would think she's a True Female. The fact she reverses proves otherwise but I think she's as close as it gets. Funny timing on all this. Here's an S1 grown in a 1 gallon pot. Semi-intentional beat the frigging tar out of it stress testing. Just went over it and not a nanner to be found.

Aka, let me know if you do get any seeds. So far no one has that has reported nanners, but it's something I'd like to know.
So there's a rabbit hole of thought for ya. And I'm off to a slow start.

Oh my…. That’s looking like what I pictured my grow room to be in my head when I started. Unfortunately that’s not what mine looks like but thanks for sharing so I can be inspired to keep at it. I’ve got the space. It’s the cash, knowledge, and skills I’m still trying to get up. That goes for everyone. It really is nice to have a place to share. The only thing better is having a place to see others work.

Mr. Piggyman might I recommend the world of hydroponics to you and your beloved 2x2 tent. You'll never have to buy soil again. Also the powdered water soluble fertilizers are cheeeeap. Don't buy the liquid stuff if you don't like the rip off effect.
I appreciate the thought, but I have no interest in hydro or coco. I'm an organic soil grower through and through, it's what I do! If I get frustrated with a soil mix I just toss it in the outside mix and go for more inside. I like being the steward of a little soil mycro herd and their poop forest. The challenge of making a good mix is the point for me, not the yield. TBH, I don't even smoke. The most intoxicating thing I consume is coffee I give it all away to friends and strangers in need, the dopamine hit from that is it's own reward.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! The MI5 autoflower seeds that are over ten years old and I thought were dead came back to life! The gibberellic acid solution soak for the seeds seems to have done the trick and many more than I thought are finally breaking soil! I'm so glad I didn't throw them out when they didn't pop after a week and instead put them in solo cups of happy frog. Only problem is now I have to transplant a bunch of sprouts since I thought failure rate would be higher and put LOTS in each cup. I'm so excited to get to do a seed run and see if I can revive the lemonberry pheno. It's a super rare pheno that's just god-tier cannabis. I had a couple of growers absolutely not believe it was an auto until I showed them the grow. It's a first gen auto, so it's a bit of a genetic mess. The original breeder Stitch is an ass and I'm so glad i don't have to communicate with him anymore. Just happy to get to clean up this ol favorite a bit. I'm going to have to get a floro setup going for a bit, really running out of space quick! What I wouldn't give for a basement again.
Pic Tax:
  
FINALLY got around to mixing new soil and remixing old soil outside. Just taking it easy and doing it when I feel like it instead of stressing about deadlines. One compressed 2.2 cf bale of sunshine mix agg plus with mycos(expands to 4.4 cf), one cf bag of worm castings, one cf bag of veg scrap compost, a cup of dolomite for each cf, two cups fish mix, half a cup azomite, some alfalfa, half a cup rainbow bloom mix, half a cup powdered rock phosphate, some discount Dr Earth tomato mix(basically same ingredients listed above) ten gallons of used soil from last year..... Dump it all in a kiddy pool, mix like crazy in the pleasant spring afternoon sun, dump in a 45 gal smart pot on a pallet and tarp off to cook until planting in mid June.

I shouldn't have to feed too much in that pot if all goes right. Hopefully the early finishing F1 seeds I bought will pay off and I'll finish a month before I usually do. Sure would be nice to harvest while it's still dry out and before large game seasons start. It would also cut a month off of feeding time and I could rely on the soil more.

Hey everyone, just wanted to say that I have to step away for a bit. So I may not get to show my final product.
I just found out that my granddaughter has a rare bone cancer in her hand so I will be spending more time with her and her mom who was diagnosed with female cancer last year.
Y'all keep up the beautiful work, I will be living through y'alls pics for a bit.

This mugato is so dense and leafy. I’ve pulled so much off it over the last couple weeks and it’s still just solid leaves. Might be a pain to trim.

The next generation. Back from bottom up is laoberry, laoberry, utopia haze. Then the front the bigger bottom one is c99 clone that was supposed to be a solo cup seed thing but the other ones refused to grow and now it’s a full blown plant. Above that is cherry glue.

Got the last of this round in the fridge to dry. I think this will be my go to method till I find a better way. I just don’t have a cool dark place to hang 12 plants at a time but I can fit a lot of buds in the fridge. Im on day 3 of curing the fist round that were dry and I’m happy to report the smell coming out and they are getting sticky instead of crispy so I think I got it right.

Now I got to learn chow to clone and sex my plants. I understand the process for the most part I’ve just never done it. If anyone has pointers I’m all ears.

Snip, dip, and stick into some coco or rock wool. Blam.
Rapid rooters and clonex will make it really simple…

I'm confused as to how you're flowering female plants without knowing how to sex them?

BPH depending on your climate you may find simple cardboard boxes a good option to dry buds in. In my climate it works quite well. I tend to use it a lot when growing small batches, so I can just fill a small box with nugs, leave a card with the name in there, and then it's basically just set and forget. They say you gotta turn the buds over but with the carboard boxes I've forgotten about turning them around several times (like, didn't turn em even once ) and I never noticed any mold or anything. Come to think of it, the sides that touch the box are usually feeling just a tad bit drier to the touch than the side that's the the open air so I suspect the cardboard actually reduces the chance for mold by taking up the moisture and releasing it again to the atmosphere faster than the surrounding air can or something...

Cloning is easy. First buy or build a cloner. I have an Oxyclone and Clone King. Slightly different setups, Oxyclone is a DWC bubbler. Uses an airstone and pump to aerate the water for rooting. Clone King has a sprayer manifold that mists the dangling stems. Both work great.
Pick a branch you want to clone, measure 3-5 inches, then make your cut just above the top of a node on the plant. New branches will eventually grow from the node that you made the incision above. Now that you have the clone separated, trim the bottom to just below a node. Roots will come out of the cutting's node that you made the incision below. Make 45 degree cuts, it helps the wound on the plant heal faster and helps the wound on the cutting root faster. You can also abrade the outside of the cutting if you want. It's not necessary, but exposing the cambium, just below the fibrous exterior, can increase rooting. Dip the cutting into rooting hormone and then place it in the cloner collar. After 7-14 days there should be signs of roots. You can even just throw the cutting straight into dirt or a glass of water, but it takes longer and gives bacteria more time to kill the cutting. Try to keep the cloner between 60-70 degrees. Water warmer than 75 greatly decreases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water (you want as much DO as possible) and creates favorable conditions for pythium aka root rot. You don't need anything in the cloner besides water but I've noticed a difference when adding small portions of nutes, hormones, mycos. Products like Clonex, Rapid Start, Great White.
