Idk about you @MDK , But I'm pretty sure I haven't ran a single deathstar cross I didn't like. They look great and I'm betting smoke great... What are your thoughts on the lazy biker? I've been eyeballing some karma gear lately. I just have a hard time spending so much on seeds. I've ran multiple $100+ packs next to multiple forum members chucks or repros and am almost ALWAYS more impressed with beans I've gotten from forum members for free or next to it. I've just been wondering about that lazy biker and figured I'd ask your opinion since you've ran it. Impressive garden, Keep on killing it bro!!!

This will be my first deathstar cross I've grown but it smells like it's gonna be some heat. I enjoy the bud it's usually crossed into when I happen across a bag by some other method.

As for the lazy biker, I love it man, this is like the 3rd or 4th time I've ran it, always seem to sneak a plant of it in the tent atleast. It just smacks the lips imo, I'm a fan of old school gas and tasty og types and it really takes me back to like 2010 ish era of pre-cookie gas. It's got some flavor to it as well not all gas, definitely some fruit on the back end. It's potency is good but not absolutely day ruining devastating. I can smoke it all day and it can get me going or put me to sleep it goes both ways there. I did a full tent of it a few runs back and basically was only smoking it at the time and I never tired of it. When I thought I did I would get another bag through other means and quickly realize I was mistaken and be back smoking the lazy biker in an instant. This one I got from oldsogscoc.com which is a much fairer price than karmas prices are (I think his packs are like 150? Maybe 200 haven't looked in a while to see). I've heard karma is the Mack daddy of old school gas sours and OGs...and after having this for as long as I have I must say, I'd run anything I could get with his genetics in it, this one just stands out imo. I've had comments from people like "wtf is that!", "smells so killer breaking it up" and Moe said it was loud like a Harley lol. I'm gonna keep her long as I can.

Moe & Cannagranny have tried mine
Good$hit has the cut I shared it with the homie when I had a couple extras last time I made cuts. I actually bought this cut so I don't know how hunting a pack of it would be but I'm guessing it'd be fire pack I don't think the person I got this from hunted thru many seeds I just think they found one they liked in a pack maybe 2 and that's the one they kept.

Can't say enough about it to be honest my favorite cut in my collection.... thinking about crossing it to this Chernobyl golden ticket but that cut has Trainwreck which I've read tends to dominate in crosses so idk it'll be a trial kinda thing...not expecting it to come out better just different lol

Sounds like a rock solid plan, thanks for the heads up. I appreciate the background info. Now...... I think it's time to check out oldsogs gear. Your definitely not the first person I've heard touting about his gear. Looks like I'm off the check his inventory now... 😉 keep it up bro, I love stopping by your journal, there's always something interesting going on!

I've actually got a decent amount of beans I made with inkognyto's old stinker cut ( which is the deathstar cut crossed to his staple strain pestilence which is (abusive og x west cost dog). I hit 3 or 4 of my keppers and got extremely lucking somehow even though i only popped two fems out of a ten pack. I've been running that old school gas pheno back to back for almost 2 years now and still haven't gotten tired of it. Lately, I'm pretty much over anything cookies, thats besides gary paryton cuz she's by far the most special of any cookie cross I've tried personally. But lately, I pretty damn sure I could go the rest of my growing career with anymore of these damn cookies polyhybrid dessert strains that throw phenos all over the map. I for one cant get enough of the fuel forward dumpster terps,( the putrid alot of others hate... 😆 i also love the old sour strains of yester year. I miss my old sour og i ran for 5-6 runs before retiring it. at's what I've been hunting through lately. All the crosses I've made with that cut have been impressive for the most part besides the random outliers. Well, Now I'm actually subbed up to keep up with what you've got going on. Keep up the great work man, your garden has been looking amazing! 🔥

Appreciate the kind words, and I'm with you on the offensive terps 🤘🏻. I need to check out some chem D lines I've heard alot about those too but yea hard to move on from a plant when you got the old school funk you love, nice to know you've been keeping some on deck too, love it! About to fire up another run with a couple different old sog strains in the mix....gonna have poison mints (durban Poison x sin mint cookies I think) and durban stomper s1 which he said is very terpy....so that'll be cool and some lazy biker probably as always

He also just put up a bunch of super silver haze hybrids as well as Athens silver haze mixed in, lot of pissy smells in that stuff I think he said, I enjoyed the super glazed haze I grew although more incense smell than piss for my pheno

Beginning of week 1. Strains are Chernobyl, Lazy Biker, Coffee Crisps, poisin Mints, Durban stomper s1

The Durban Stomper is super squat I had to build her a stand

IMG_20241025_085540703_HDR.jpgIMG_20241025_085552204_HDR.jpg

Thanks for stopping in, hope everyone has been well. Let's go
 
Few days into flower the plants seem to really like my last feed regimine so I'm taking some notes on it here

5 gallons of water
30mL calmag
30mL micro
15mL grow
45mL bloom

pH to 6.2...roughly 810 ppm...each plant got 2 liters.

IMG_20241029_083326234_HDR.jpg
 
Taped this up a couple weeks back when it split, wrapped a piece of plastic wrapping around it first then electrical taped around that. Never skipped a beat

I used to deal with this. If you leave about a 1/4" to 1/2" of the main shoot above the cut when you top, it'll make it much more resistant to splitting. I haven't had it happen to me (atleast on the main stem) since I started leaving a nub. Good luck man, grows look great!
 
Beginning of week 3. Budsites and some trichomes. Next comes 2nd layer of my new net....then defol then the fun shit comes, fireworks
IMG_20241108_123616873_HDR.jpgIMG_20241108_123554211_HDR.jpgIMG_20241108_123603109_HDR.jpg

What do I grow next? I may post some narrowed down choices soon see if anyone has any ideas
 
Beginning of week 4, day 22ish. Cut out the nitrogen and will just use the N in the calmag to make it enough.

For 5 gallons of water im mixing in
35mL calmag
30mL micro
60mL bloom

pH to 6.2ish

Got the second level on the net to help hold up the longer stalksIMG_20241115_130728875_HDR.jpg

Chernobyl looking frosty AF

Something is firing off pollen, hopefully sterile I haven't ended up with too many seeds so far since I've been growing, so this kinda pisses me off as usual but I'm going to remain optimistic about it, I think I may piss off the lazy biker or something because it's in every grow and ive been having this happen in every grow then i trim the biker and find some nanners. I probably overfeed it, I water her the same as everything else but she will kick out runoff a little quicker than the other plants...I think I'm just over caring for her.

May have also knocked some pollen around when I defoliated.
 
Beginning of week 5 today. Some color coming in on the coffee crisps I think due to temps but also may have been feeding a bit light...either way she turns dark almost black anyway so I'll just not trip on it

Lots of terpenoline this grow...almost too much but that's alright well balance that out next grow by having none or very little

Anyway hope everyone is getting ready for the holiday season, gonna be a good year, can't wait for it to end on a high note and hopefully start on one next year. Have a good weekend ✌🏻
 
You reckon it is genetic what’s happening with the biker ..they don’t appear that stressed to make her throw nanners.

Seems to be but I still can't rule out it being another plant either....hard to get in there and find the culprit once the net goes on
 
I actually wouldn’t b surprised it’s a male sac(s) appearing not long after they started to flower down low on the plant.I’ve had nanners late in the grow but never early..

See I have been scouring the lower areas and defol most of that ...I think it's higher up is why I miss it but then again I'm blind AF for real
 
you’ll probably find it when you trim lol..hopefully it ain’t too bad bud..

so what you thinking of running nxt..

Shit, that's a huge dilemma lol. I got a ton of seed Ive won and bought.

Thinking some Captain Redbeard and possibly some csi Humboldt. I kinda want to make more seed with the CSI stuff though so I got more than just 7 per pack to go thru but that's a ways off so I may just pop a couple of his selections crossed to Loompas headband

So like his bubba kush 101 or the triangle kush 5150 crossed to the loompa headband I may run a seed or two of those just to see...

Also thinking of a couple bag seed I've been sitting on. Namely my 2012 selfed seed out of my mysterious grow from back then...me and my friends nicknamed the smoke "deth" so maybe trying to pop that sucker...been holding it so long can't really imagine waiting any longer... probably dead anyway but I gotta try now that i know I can keep plants for a while.

When I get my main strain just right she’s black. Freaked me out my first grow. Never knew that could happen. 😳🔥
 
Beginning of week 6, alot of fade already on the coffee crisps, maybe due to it being to the side not really under the main of the light? Idk I remember it faded a little early last time and had me freaked out a bit but came out nice.

Dropped some new seed, after 16 hours in distilled water all of the breeder seed had sunk which I always take as a good sign, infact each cup had atleast 1 seed opening already. My s1 seed that was in 50/50 distilled/peroxide hadn't sunk, which is no surprise. I have a feeling she won't open but I got to know and I'll keep my fingers crossed. All seeds are in the vertical germinator now.

Every seed except my s1 from my old school homegrown has opened the shell and shown a tail, I will consider breeder pack germination rate this go 100%. Squished the s1 a bit to get a light cracking sound hoping that'll give it what it needs to sprout. C'mon c'mon I'd throw away all the other good sprouts if this s1 would come thru....id take that trade, no diss on the other beans I just want this one again lol
 
Beginning of week 7, that means day 49. Happy with the grow so far pluck a few fans Everytime I lean in there. Shits mainly still pretty green. I'll expect a little fade on the Chernobyl, not sure what the Durban crosses will do but they look very green, I'm assuming nitrogen toxicity which I think may be from over watering them in general I've seen that you can cause that from over watering and these seem to finish drinking early perhaps a Durban thing? Idk but I keep watering them regardless everything gets the same and if they got a problem with it they'll get thrown away lol 😂

Durban Stomper S1 from oldsogscoc.com smell is outrageous, production could be alot better but he said these smaller ones pop up from time to time. Well it smells ridiculous hopefully good head stash. What is cool is it looks pretty Durban from my lite experiences with durban and it's small framed which seems unique, they're usually pretty monstrous.

My coffee crisps, enjoy this plant will grow her for sure another time or two at least.....the smoke that put a smile on the face 😊

Lazy Biker MC, coming in strong rounding out the gas section, have really enjoyed her. I think about moving away from her but damn, this grow is really smelling out and dialed in a bit better than last so I'm rethinking the move away...she can stay, don't taste gas like her everyday
 
Beginning of week 8, day 50. Lots of green thinking I'll just finish on out with water see if I can get a little more fade out of the Chernobyl and biker atleast...I don't expect the Durban crosses to fade
