This here is another trail by the Dirty Dozen, Evil Empress.

We were suppose to start these on Thanksgiving, but I was a few days late.

umbra.. out of 3 only one made it and it is short and squat and green:) I have not inspected it to see what it is male or female, but it sure looks nice. Will take a pic and a journal here. The BOC is not a DD grow so I will post in its own grow journal.

4u cooked my babies??? You stoner, lol. I have 6 for 6 of these growing myself. For those that don't know what the EE cross is, here goes.
GooeyBreeder made a cross with Purple Empress x Papaya x Pure Power. I grew out a sweet, deep purple female last year outdoors and loved it. i will put her pic up. I hit her with pollen from my Drizella stud and the DD crew are now growing out the beans from that cross. The name was too long and Kaotic came up with Evil Empress. I liked it and we are now rocking it.

Here's a few pics of the mother PExPxPP indoors and bud pics at harvest OD. Pretty plant, needed a little more potency. That is where Drizella comes in. His job is to make her meaner, lol. Her job is to keep the beauty and flavors rocking

Transplanted yesterday morning.

Another week has gone by

Flipped to 12/12 of January 19

I have good news on the Evil Empress cross. I grew the mother OD this past fall and had a qt. jar of her flowers sitting in my stash. Last time I tried it was a month ago and it was a nice tasty 7 to smoke. Grabbed the jar last night, rolled a fattie and half hour later I had to look at the label to verify what I was toking. It had become a potent 8 after 90 days in the jar. So, Gooey Breeder had done the exact thing to Purple Empress that I was trying to do: make her stronger. He crossed her with Papaya and Pure Power.
Adding Drizella to that purple beauty can't hurt, right? I can't wait to see what we get. First impressions may not be too accurate, if toked too early with this one. Hoping some phenos stay purple and kick some butt!

I was messing around in the veg room last night and came across the baggie I got from Gooey with the Purple Empress cross beans in it. I read the words again and sonofabiscuit if I didn't get it wrong. For a year now I was saying it was Purple Empress x Papaya x Pure Power. It isn't . It clearly says Purple Power. So, there are two purple strains mixed with papaya. No wonder why the mother I grew OD was so dark purple. Sorry Gooey for messing that up.
I checked my seedlings and I have one smelly girl, so far. The stem rub was amazing. Looks like I have a few males, out of my 6 I planted. Going to pot up the girl in a five gal and top her. I think I have a worthy one to coddle, lol.

Just fed my worms 3 males.

Replaced with the last 1, I had in the veg tent.

Update on mine. I culled 3 males and I put my 3 girls in 3 gal. pots. One of them has reddish coloring on the top leaves already. WOOT! Look for color for me on yours, please. I am hoping mine is legit coloring and not a nute issue.

Yeah, my radioactive guano can give me some very pretty colors

Here's my EE girl with color

That looks great, duck. I ended up with one female in flower. Too many dudes, lol. My pheno has fatter fans and fewer fingers, I think. I just flipped her 3 days ago. I should take her pic. First decent looking plant I have had in many months. Taking clones, in case she rocks.

Here's my only EE girl in flower. All the rest were males. Flipped her 6 days ago. Lots of tight nodes at the top. Should be a sweet cola. This is the first semi-normal plant I have had in nearly a year. Been a long fight with the root aphids and borg. Finally sorting that all out. Now I can concentrate on growing dank, instead of just surviving. There is residue from my PM spray on leaves.
