SSHZ does Captain RedBeard's "Biscotti Blonde" and Lit Farms "All Starz"..........

Ooh. I got some I been wanting to grow. And fermented, which will be growing soon. You've been a tremendous help to me SSHZ. I plan on starting a journal in few months on here and see if u and other master growers on here can help guide me through my mid flower issues. I see some amazing growers on here. No bs, no slander, just good, helpful ppl.
 
Whaaaaat.I’ve have seen the odd droplet on bud but nothing like that.i wouldn’t have the faintest what’s going on here.like sap weeping out.it tasted sweet.i had to have a taste lol.curiosity got the better of me…this probably has something to do how water is transported through the plant..

I've seen it before too, but not to this extent.........
 
This a cookie strain sshz.

I believe it has some Blueberry in it too...........

Update.......this appears to be wrong, but I'm seeing different info depending on where you go.

I just spent another $500+ on Lit Farms seeds.......if you spend the time going thru everything, they have unannounced sales on low stock stuff all the time. It hard to find, you have to go thru item by item to find them. Saved about 50% overall in Lemon Cherry Fritter, Red Heads, Pink Kitty and Ricky Bobby strains.......I've got to stop this I'm back to 3 containers in the fridge. lol

I've so many seeds.
80 strains or more lmao
 
Rub it in 😂..You guys are like woman window shopping 🤣..impulsive buying…just got to have it…I’m pretty jealous lol
 
The best..such a great writer comedian.should put it here if it’s okay with sshz just so he understands .my missus needs electrocution classes 😂.soo glad she don’t get on here.id b a dead man walking haha

I can assure you I don't have anything close to that.......my problem is, I always buy multiple packs of everything I buy except the Lit Farms stuff since it's expensive. I've given $1000's of seeds away over the years, I probably don't grow 20% of what I buy. I often change my mind on a strain between the time I buy it and then decide to grow it.
 
Gee if there ever was a strain to get the opposite sex interested in growing,rainbow cookies would pull them in.so pretty

Will b interesting to see if it was worth it.puts alittle bit of pressure on it to perform well.i know you will give an honest review.it was funny when you said that to a certain breeder a little while ago they chickened out on sending you seeds lol.
 
Shit breeder and shit seed bank............couldn't stand up to any scrutiny.
 
So, 10 of each strain have made it thru the soil line, although 1 of the All Starz is in shaky ground. Yesterday was day 1 in veg..........

Thinking about my spray regimen this crop......I feel it was very successful last grow with no visible insects or leaf damage throughout the entire grow. I'll probably do the same exact process this grow too.

Step 1. After emptying the room except the hanging lights, I bomb the room with a general insect bomb and let it sit in there for 3-4 hours before turning on the exhaust over night. If you have an air filter, cover it entirely with a large plastic bag first, to stop the spray covering the charcoal and pre-filter. Wipe the led's down with a wet rag and let them air dry the next day, lights off for a bit.

2. Week 3 I do 2 things: first is flush the soil with Venerate, I think it's 2 tablespoons per gallon. This will add a bacteria that attacks some insects, especially spider mites and eggs. It takes about a week or so to work, but it's effective. Second, I give the entire room- plants, pots, floor, and walls a spray of Monterey Garden Insect Spray with spinosad. Its oil based- you want to spray before the start of pistil development in flowering.

3. In week 2 of flowering, I'll spray with either that old time recipe I've given out numerous times (peppermint/tree oils, alcohol and hydrogen peroxide) or with Flying Skull's Nuke'em, Dr. Zymes Eliminator or similar citrus based insect killer. I've mentioned many of them over the years.

The key here is be proactive- don't wait for a problem to treat the room.
 
So, where are we with the Biscotti?
 
Not even a week into the seedling sprouting.........I will post when i have something new going on. Nothing worse that watching a 2 inch sprout.
 
I gave all my Lemon Jeffrey away stupidly.........Irie has not had them in stock for a long time now. i keep checking.
 
What’s up with these seed breeders.I’m seeing quite a few stunted ,mutant ones more than the usual.that one doesn’t look like it has top shoot.looks like a bastard plant😁

No one works anything anymore, it's all about releasing as many lines as possible in 1 year for the most money.
200 and 300 dollar packs of seeds and I see so many complaints from some of these breeders gear.

If people took 4 or 5 years to work just a couple lines, things would be so much more stable
 
I think MassMedical has done like 7 or 8 drops in 10 months and not 1 cross uses the same parent.
Idk.
Its just sad I guess. Not many do this for the love of the plant anymore, I'd say 90% are in it just for the money.
 
Whenever someone crosses a strain or two that are loved it is an easy sell to those with no knowledge of breeding.
If people really knew how long it took and the effort and LUCK it took to get what they just destroyed they might learn to think and act different.
No/ zero respect for those commercial breeders just chucking it.
Think about why they call it pollen chuckin.
Because it sure is not legit, researched breeding.
The LAST thing I want is new and improved.
I want what was old and great.
Today warning labels look different; 1728919319866.png

What happened to people looking for the best of a strain and breeding them back to each other?
Takes too long to not have a new name, I guess.
 
It's been said many times now- breeders from years past LOVED the plant first, money was secondary. Now a days, it's money first, the plant second or worse. I find more mutants than I ever have. And sprouting rates have fallen a bit too.

But to be honest, Lit Farms stuff is expensive, I've already paid $350 for a pack of something there. When they only have 1-2 packs left of a strain, they cut the price in half. So, a lot of my purchases there are 2-3 year old stuff, on its way out for good. More mutants and poorer sprouting has to be expected when growing out older stuff. Not always, but often............

What I'm growing now, All Starz, was the last pack in stock but NOT discounted- priced at $250. I had a reason to buy it but damn if I remember what it was now! lol I am also seeing a lot of their stuff on sale at Heritage Seedbank, among other places.

"Hobby breeders" are where I've been noticing more work being put in lately, because they are doing it simply for the fun/love of it rather than making money.

Gotta look for those small boutique/craft breeders that don't follow all the hype and actually want to make something.
 
Not many left now.........
I've got 4 strains to test from a small craft guy on discord.
All Big Bud crosses, hoping to find something worthwhile.
He sent 20 of each strain so should be able to find at least 1 worthy contestant.
