Figured it was time for a new thread. It’s a new year with new goals. For those of you whom don’t know me. Greetings. I am always working on a fruit tree, fish, or cannabis project. I think fresh fruit and cannabis go great together. I love this warm inviting community.
Basically, I sprout new and project seeds around new year, veg them inside under 13 watt cloner lights and put them out in the greenhouse on sunny days. Around Valentine’s Day or so, I flip everyone to flower by leaving them permanently in the greenhouse on 10/14 sun cycle. Each week adds about 20 min of light at my latitude… I then do 3-4 selective seed runs using the greenhouse and my garage in a plant juggle. I reveg the pollinated plants under the sun as spring becomes summer and harvest the seeds when they are ripe.
Next I put them in bigger pots and release my favorites into the raised beds to proper fall harvest. Then sprout the newly made seeds a month or 2 before summer solstice. This allows you to grow and flower 2 generations of seeds side by side at the same time. The original seeded mothers reveged, along side their seedlings sprouted the same spring. Most new seedlings end up getting culled. I have learned to be ruthless at culling, or the collection gets too big and never gets better. Only my favorites grow on. Any that do not pass mold and rain test get dumped into compost if they are a project line. Or are picky bit@$+s.
I also work with the keeper collection at the same time. I try to keep my 12 favorite females and my 5 favorite males as Bansai clones thru each winter. 13 watt cloners, cold temps, minimal nutrient; the gear I have favors Bansai clones. Over bigger dedicated mothers. Then they have to reprove themselves each year outdoors to prove they are worthy. I mostly select for mold resistance in the seattle cool fall rains and 100rh morning maritime dew. The keeper clones take pollen too, then reveg and take seed. Sometimes I just set them aside and let them be a year if my hands are full. I have kept my jillybean cut since 2006 and my durban cut since 2007. Using this general routine. Keeper clones are released outside then recloned for inside thru the winter. Plan to post updates here.
Everything is run in char rich living soil. I amend my beds with compost tumbled table scraps and composted leaf litter. An occasional noxious weed anaerobic tea, and Washington coast fermented kelp tea. Love me some biochar. Seedlings are started in promix or sunshine mix till they are about a foot tall usually. Then living soul soil. Did I mention I love Biochar? Haven’t used a commercial fertilizer in 6 seasons now. All home rendered table compost and biomass.
Catching some sun in the geeenhose today. All back into the garage at sunset to keep the lights long cycle. About another 10 days till I leave them out in the greenhouse to spring flower run.
Lovely ILGM hindukush gifted by @DEEPDIVERDAVE going to get some NL pollen. He ran out of room in his tent.
Lovely ILGM afghan auto top harvested finishing off the lowers. Catching some greenhouse sun. Also a lovely gift from deepdiverdave.
Also thanks deepdiverdave for this seedling. It’s noteworthy because it’s an Axolotl hydro sprout. Rinsed off the soil and dropped its roots into a 200 gallon baby Axolotl grow out. May get its own thread if it takes off. lol
Thanks for reading and happy growing. 
You are thorough and have a definite system. Like to watch your upcoming season bud.
