Weez....Yea they have let me get away with more than I expected....Is that a good thing?:wtf:

True.... Thanks for feeding my oversized ego....Is that a good thing?

When we last left our hero, he was littering up the board with a totally gratuitious post. What was he thinking??? Maybe a second gratuitious post is needed.

Naaa, I don't think so.****Danger!!!....boring post ahead***

I've been devoting this short season to a few goals

1) I want to get my short season plants to 5 ft. I'm going to win that battle, but lose the war. When you mess around and drop young starts under 24 hr light, you get a lot of males. I could have beat this thru shear numbers, but I didn't have the seeds I needed to do the job.

2) I wanted to put a flock in the fields, to do that I needed the seeds from batch two to be femmed. Total clusterfuck there. Failure.

3) I wanted to breed a larger and better Thai/Skunk cross. I now have people pissed at me because I won't let any of it go. I'm keeping it all for me. From last year I have reconized four different variations. I crossed the two largest similar variations....you saw it in the last post. This is going as well as can be expected. It should fly.

4) I want to grow new strains. Better strains. Notice goals 1-3 all depend on an abundance of seeds. Everything starts there. Everything. Screw this up and I am back to the strains I used last year. And they are cold product.

Sorry. boring post....It get's worse.

Breeding and crossbreeding....I'm sure many of you do this differently, and will get a chuckle off how I am going to mangle this, but it works for me.

In order to construct a good strain, first you have to de construct it. That means you must put a bunch of seeds in from a single plant m/f cross As these seeds grow, you watch them, and note the different phenotypes that occur. Pick the one with all the best traits, cross them, and dump the rest. Do that for a few years....and baby, you got something special.

I did this with batch one. Will it work? We'll see in part 3.

I also have the time I need to do the same thing with batch three. Three is a Sativa all the way, looks like it has potential, but if it doesn't...out it goes. I will cross it with the second Thai/Skunk I have....just to see what happens. There will be no more live sex shows. From now on it's paintbrush time.

The rest get done down and dirty. I'm going to dig into my bag of tricks, and fire these seeds out in 90 days. And I'm going to do it with just nine plants from each batch. I will try to do some selection, but it ain't going to be pretty. All of the last 3 batches, are low yielders, not enough yield to make them houseplants. The last batch is a old style Hash Bud....I gotta keep that alive. I drool just thinking about it.

Well if you slogged through all that bullshit...You're a better man than I Gunga-Din....I know...I mangled that quote too.

Fuck...It's getting cold here. It's 56 at 1 AM....Bet we will break 50 tonight...Just too damn cold.....Us poor Hawaii bastards....don't you all just pity us?

I'm thinking of a new name. It has been suggested by....let's just call him a far holier man than I....that I dump oldhaole, and go by the new moniker
Moneyloving asshole baby....I'm now giving that serious consideration....

I'll get back to you on that.
oldhaole Reviewed by oldhaole on . Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two. As a sucessful long season winds down, I notice a problem. I have 28 legal holes and there almost EMPTY! Shit. Well not for long. :D We can fix this....but I need a goal. Long season was good to me, but I can do better. I could slam a bunch of seeds in the dirt and choke myself out on 90 day wonders. It would be easy to do, but yield would be...minor. :( I have a light room. It is seldom used. Here's the plan. This grow will start hybred, 12 hours sunlight, 12 hrs CFL's. That way I can Rating: 5
