well now this brings up an interesting topic. As you may or may not know I do not partake of the cannabis I grow. I grow it purely for the love of growing it. I don't smoke it, dab it, eat it, or vape it. I just grow it. I have several friends who come over for a cookout generally about 3 weeks after I'm finished jarring up my latest plant. They bring all the fixings for the feast and it's always delicious. Afterwards we all sit out on the deck and I crack open a mason jar and let everybody have a whiff and peek. Then it is sampling time. This is the interesting part. If there are four taste testers they almost always seems to taste things differently and the buds smell different to them. The inhale and exhale taste different to one or more of them. And the effects, the high can vary greatly. Maybe one of the guys can barely stand up while one is like MEH it's pretty good. My point is the same buds off the same plant are interpreted differently by different people.

Lately I have been experimenting by taking two different strains with very different terpene profiles and mixing them 1:1 after grinding them up in the bud grinder. Each of the two strains previously rated a 6 or 7 out of 10 for quality when mixed are suddenly getting ratings of 8 or even 9 out of 10 in some cases.

When I am reversing a plant to make S1 seeds for my modest collection I nearly always will grow one or two "companion" plants which I will use to make crosses with the reversed plant. When selecting these companion plants I try to find strains with terpenes not found in the plant being reversed trying to add other terpene genetics to the pool. Anyway that's my Saturday schpeel. Hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday weekend.

Please be safe and careful out there.
 
Here is what's in my garden today.

First up is my Lemon Pie survivor. I have been treating her very bottom TINY branches with Colloidal Silver in an attempt to make more S1 seeds. Being a basically poor guy I have to make my collection as I can't really afford to buy many seeds to build a collection. So I purchase One (1) seed each of 7 different Fast Buds strains and will attempt to A- get them to grow, and B- try to reverse them for seeds. I've treated this girl for 11 days with the CS and just spotted pre-flowers yesterday so with any luck. we'll see!

Next up is a cross a friend of mine made last year. It's called Blue Cheese Special (Mephisto Northern Cheese Haze X Blue Toof Special)
View media item 24065
And finally my next to last Mephisto Sour Stomper. I have just one seed left and will be trying to reverse that to make S1 seeds. This plant has done anything I've asked of it so far. Very low stress training this round as you can see.

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.

Blue Cheese special sounds very interesting!
 
I am so ready to start my Purple Biscauto seed and get the Grow and Show rolling. But until I do I thought I would share a few pictures of what I've got going on in my 2x4 auto flower tent. I have four autos that are flowering, one that I am trying to cure of root rot and grow successfully, and one bred by a member here on AFN. I only took pictures of the four flowering girls.

First up is a White Chem plant. Two to three weeks ago I was calling this a pitiful skinny plant with barely any leaves and skinny branches. Well look at her now, she took off when she started flowering.

Next up is my Blue Cheese Special Auto. This is a cross of Mephisto Northern Cheese Haze and Mephisto Blue Toof Special. I've grown a number of these and what you see is pretty much what you get every time. Not too tall, not too short. Pretty good bud to leaf ratio and good quality flowers.

Front and center in my tent is my Lemon Pie. When this plant was just starting to push out her third set of leaves I accidently fed her with nutrients meant for a plant 3 weeks into flowering. Full strength MC with some P/K booster. I didn't realize it for two days and when I saw her I was positive I had killed her. She looked horrible with browning twisted and shriveled up leaves and there were only like 8 on the whole plant. Somehow in spite of me she pulled through. I've been treating a few branches on the bottom with Colloidal Silver in an attempt to make more seeds but that might not be happening. The next 10 days or so will tell for sure. The portion of the plant above the CS stricken leaves is looking fantastic now.

And finally, tucked back in the corner of the tent is my Sour Stomper Auto. She has a plant in a 3 gallon pot on a milk crate pushing her into the corner and the Blue Cheese Special nudging her from the side but she continues to shine. Very healthy plant with beautiful color and buds that are starting to stack up some.

And here is a photo of the whole tent. The small plant on the floor in the front left is a Purple Scoops from RocBud. It was the only seed I had of that strain and was sad to discover it was suffering from Pythium. I decided that rather then dispose of the plant I would treat not only her but all the plants in the tent and see if I couldn't salvage her.

Up on the milk crate on the right side of the tent is my Straw Dog auto bred by @Jean-O from JeanOsGenetics. I'm learning as I go with these auto flowers and there are probably some things I could have done (as I am learning) to help this girl along in her first three weeks of growth. She is a very healthy and happy looking plant she's just smaller then I would like for her age. I'm sure she will take off and make me proud of her. Anyway here is the whole auto family. It's a little cramped in there but they'll do okay. Hope everyone is having a great week so far.
