you are awesome, mel! the two buckeye purples i planted popped 24 hours after the frosty buckeyes, I am beside myself with happiness, lol, cant wait for these babies to grow out. two seeds at a time, gonna work my way thru both packs slowly over the next 12 months, run some out side, some inside, some under my black dog led and see what they do under all that uv/ir! ttyl8r!!

Awesome, and very good to know. That also means that they're being stored in proper conditions by Stax too.

Got a few gals to post today, all are at day 35. Going to start with my Dead Diesel (Deadhead OG x Double Down Diesel) She's in a 1 gal pot, been topped 1x, and got about 40 days of veg.



And here are both of the Genius Thai gals. Up first pheno #2. Her resin production is great, bud production is a bit looser than her sister. She's been all tied down running in a 3 gal square pot. She has a nice fruity floral smell coming off her at this point. Not sure why she's browning out her pistils, she hasn't gone dry or had any critter treatments that would burn them, so maybe it's just her natural way.



Pheno #3 has pretty impressive bud production at this point, but her resin production is nowhere near as thick as her sisters. I had to stake her up today, she's done a good job of holding her own until now. Her structure is very much like the A11, long branching at the nodes with multiple bud sites. She has a spicy fruity smell. I've had some issues adjusting her feed, it just seemed like I couldn't give her enough. Last week she was yellowing badly, but I've got her greened back up pretty well.



I had originally planned to make the stash beans with the seed plants, but I've decided I don't want to lose the yield off the big plants, so I have cuts of both gals and the male in cups vegging. When they're in their 1 gals I do the seed run with clones in my cab.

I also have some new starts up. From Calyx Bros I've started 3 each of Lemon Fizz, Silent D, and Blue Spruceberry. From my own makings I started 4 Silver Buckeyes (SSH x Buckeye Purple) and 3 Gorilla Grape F3s. All are 7 days above the soil line.

looks great Mel!

Bodhi Boysenberry (aka Goji OG F3) day 37. My net has been down since Thurs evening, took these pics Friday morning.

A Buckeye Purple went to the drying rack today (green branch was broken off another plant from the room )



Bodhi Genius Thai pheno #2 day 42

Ozzy, why aren't the pics showing? I did what I always do, uploaded and inserted. Thanks!

Got a few new things vegging. All are 25 days old from seed, vegging under 1k in 2.5 gal pots, using Neptune's Harvest feeds.

My Banana Buckeye (OrgnKd Banana OG x Buckeye Purple)



Buckeye Jack (Late 90's Sensi Jack Herer x Buckeye Purple)



Double Down Diesel F3s



A friend from another site recently did a pollination of many different NL mothers, including my 89 NL5, and many different NL fathers. These are a few starts from his seeds.



Dead North (Deadhead OG x 89 NL5)



PJs cut of Boysenberry (formerly known as Goji OG F3) crossed to my 89 NL5 male



All total, I have 19 strains in the winter run. Here they are.

2 Grape God F2s I made when I was still at cannetics, shared a lot of these seed around
3 Vortex x Deep Bubba Kush made by our good friend Supernatural from Immortal Flowers
3 new starts of 89 NL5 and my mother
3 Jaffa Cakes from Immortal Flowers
3 Manatuska Thunder crossed to a daddy I can't remember
2 Silver Buckeye (98 Sensi SSH x Buckeye Purple)
3 Gorilla Grape F3s
2 Buckeye Purple plus my mother
2 Dead North
4 Boysenberry x 89 NL5 (still thinking about a name for this one which will probably be the freebie on my next drop)
4 Banana Buckeye
2 Buckeye Jack
3 Double Down Diesel
4 Freakshow's NL
1 MaddFarmer Purple Urkle x Blueberry

Also many clones of LiquidKid's Bubba Chunk, Buckeye Purple, Critical Plus, Starwarz's old DJ Short Blueberry, and the Boysenberry are either vegging in 1/2 gals or currently rooting to replace males.

nice, ozzy! Mel, holy crap!!! thats some list, that urkle x blueberry sounds bomb - like everything else on that list, lol!!

Thanks Ozzy. I have no clue what I did, damn pot.

Hi Phil. Madd passed me those seeds ages ago. I had started all 10 of them, but then I had those issues with the first sowing and only got this 1 that came up. Here's hoping that one is a girl.

Rechecked the start date on the 1st sowing, they were sown on 11/3, so that makes them about 26 days old today.

And here they are.

Melvanetics Frosted Buckeye, cali put outside 3 weeks ago. I took cuts yesterday, I've gotten roots on everything else i've cloned so far so hoping these take, I want to veg a little longer - like over the summer when the sun is better, lmao!! definitely will be topping and "shrubbing" them out in the future, as well as the purple buckeyes - those things are stacking nodes like crazy!!!

Hey Phil, looking sweet! I've bet you found a different plant from every seed in the Frosty Buckeyes, there's alot of strains mixed up in there.

Pulled a few males out of the grow today. All are 33 days old.

Been having a battle with rh since Monday when it decided to start raining and hasn't bothered to stop. Rh outdoors has been basically the same as the rh indoors. Added fans and the dehumidifier on Tuesday when it hit 75%. Been hovering around 65%, starting to see a bit of issue on some of the plants, but the forecast calls for clear and cold starting tomorrow, so I'm hoping to be back in normal range within 24 hours.

Freakshow's NL project pheno 7 Male



Dead North 1 Male



Banana Buckeye 3 Male



And finally, Banana Buckeye 5 male. I kept 2 cuts of him, going to flower him out in the seed closet after the 89 NL5 run is done. He's a really nice indica structured plant, has a sour banana smell. We'll see what he does when he's flowered out, he may end up part of the next generation of this cross if he can hold that smell and have some nice stacking of balls with a touch of color to them.

The stacking of the balls is very important!! God i am stoned right now, or did everybody else find as much humor in that statement as i did? Love ya Melvan!!!! Loving my frosted buckeye - I may have 2 males for my first two purple buckeyes, just started showing and the 9 leaf pheno is male for sure, still not quite on the 7 leafer. both have great stacked nodes, nice and short and super stocky. definitely going to keep cuts off both, just to be sure about having a good male around for breeding later. especially with the lambsbread, i am already getting all kinds of ideas on it, lol! keep up the great work!!

I like those balls stacked one on top of the other, and lots and lots of 'em.

Come on Cubby, you know you're dying to say something.

Shots from the room today

Frosted buckeye at 4 weeks - caught wiffs of strawberries, cream, and grapes today!! I sit in my chair and smoke a bowl, staring at the garden and my eyes always come back to this one, she's so freaking beautiful, melvan!!! Thank you for blessing me with her, I believe the cuts are rooting, got the lower branches pollenated with my master og x herijuana pollen which i am thinking could end up being some serious stuff - time will tell!!



I love this picture, looks like the trichomes are building up a ridge on the edges of the leaves, I LOVE THIS PLANT!!! WOOHOOO!! Not to mention the colors of the calyxes and the hairs - one of the nicer colored plants i have had the pleasure of growing.

She has a very deep purple going on that's for sure. In all the ones I've run I've never found the pure Buckeye Purple color like that one has. All of Frosty Buckeyes have put on their color starting mid-flower, with it working its way up the plant from the bottom buds. Most have been pastel shades of pinks and lavenders.

Great job, keep up the good work Phil.

Had 5 more males pull out today, 38 days old from the 1st sowing. 1 Freakshow's NL, 1 Dead North, 1 Banana Buckeye, and 2 Boysenberry x 89 NL5. It's nice to have their space to spread the plants out a bit. I still have 44 in big pots, 5 clones in cups that need big pots (but I won't move them up until there are more holes from males), and about a billion rooted cuts in trays, with more to take once the 2nd sowing gets a bit bigger.

I also had 2 for sure girls show today, one of Freakshow's NLs and a Double Down Diesel F3

Looking great Mel... :)

Flipped to 12/12 today (finally!). Nowhere near as healthy as I would like with all the high rh the last few weeks, but no too bad. Feb 18th is 55 days, all will be out, done or not, by the 28th which is 65 days.

Day 5 of flower. Pulled out a male, added a 1k, and laid the plants out different due to the change in light pattern.

Caught a cool break at the ag store today. Popped in to pick up Tiger Bloom, which normally runs me $22/quart. Some body forgot to change the pricing gun and they were marked $11.99. For just one brief moment I thought I should say something, then I remembered how much money I've spent there over the years, and for just this once, I kept my big mouth shut and got 2 bottles.

First up is a clone of my Buckeye Purple mother. She's going to end up with the 89 NL5 male in the seed run.



A couple of phenos from Freakshow's NL project. #1, the taller, still hasn't shown clear sex, but #3, the sweet round little bush is for sure a gal.

Pheno #1



Pheno #3



The two side by side

My Buckeye Jack



My Dead North

Did you say buckeye jack? Now just where can i get those, Melvan?!? One of my favorites, can't pass up a good jack!!


I pulled my frosted buckeye early this morning, when i get my internet back i will post a couple of pics. she sure is pretty, melvan. can't wait to grow her clones out under good conditions!! also by the look of
the buckeye purp mom i have one male with golfball shaped buds and 7 finger leafs, the other male has way more purple, spearshaped buds and 9 finger leafs. both have nice big hollow stems, definitely breeding with the spear shaped plant. I am thinking nl5/hz and the three lambsbreads at the very least.
