Olaf's Grow-Off, Indoor, Outdoor, Breeding?

Right so, you’ve all seen me mashing buttons and randomly throwing up topics and what not, I figured it’d be cool to show y’all some of my goings on.

Disclaimer: I don’t have the best setups and whatnot, I work with what I can, and most of what I do is for science - I don’t mind experimenting as I am not super focused on yield etc.

So what I’ve been doing this year is growing Gooseberry Syrup Autos (I got the seeds from our mock-up grow-course). I put them in some soil and then headed off on the Home Grow Tour for a stint. I managed to keep them alive (that’s a whole 'nother story) and brutally MST’d them (moderate stress training or mangled stress training - basically making sure they didn’t kiss the light in my small tent). They turned out well and yielded nicely - relatively speaking (that’s the jar pic).

I then went on and germinated a bunch more beans and got a nice mix of Gelato Sunrise (fem), Girl Scout Cookie Extreme (fem), Yuzu Euphoria Auto and Purple Punch Auto. The autos have been cut and dried and are waiting for a final dry trim (I wet-trimmed them pretty thoroughly so it should be light work).

The Gelato Sunrise and Girl Scout Cookies Extreme went straight into the ground in my pollinator garden, where after being shaded out by weeds and pollinator friendly flowers they quietly grew into monsters (the selfie with the trees) and three of them I threw into pots (the pic with the two plants on the garden table and my cat awing at 'em - one of them not in frame).

I then germinated 10 89 Green Bodhi Northern Lights 5 Bx just to sex them and find some males - while simultaneously germinating 5 Terp Sneeze Autos. This is my foray into breeding (as mentioned in another topic - mind you this is unofficial business, though we are working on stuff as a company too). (the tent pic is the sex tent - the closet pic are the Terp Sneezes). One of the Terp Sneeze phenos is crazy and was kissing the light so I crudely bent/broke the leader - let’s hope it lives). These will be the receiving females, as well as one of the outdoor ones (Girl Scout Cookies Extreme - those are the larger outdoor ones and the one in the bigger pot on the table).

I found the first Northern Lights Bx male in the sex tent (the pictures with the balls) - so we’re on track to start cooking.

I’ll continue with some updates, but I hope y’all like my first actual contribution to the community. Also, probably a perfect time to say I friggin’ love y’all!

(this is my poor attempt at gaining up on @Lightbrightt2010’s immensely popular topic :rofl: - jokes, the winningest be winning)

Hey I’ll have a party over here to help you catch up :blush:

Breeding project? More seeds to come :palm_up_hand:t4: :grinning_face:

Looking good, hey we all work with what we got, I appreciate you joining in on the shanangains

We love you too @Olaf.ILGM

Preciate that! And if I get enough seeds I am fully down to start a grow-off with my frankenstein creations - you’ll all be tasked with pheno-hunting!

I am especially curious about the offspring off a reg photo x autos cross - that’ll be chaos! (Chaos Theory - there’s another working title).

Just name the seeds that :joy:

Hmm interesting :thinking:

Let the games begin :blush:

*you can also see I’m struggling with the chronology of the pics bc/ the composer view - nice that you can add more pics at once but why not chronologically? The read/unread in the sidebar I am in contact with the discourse theme about - my button mashing did not yield the desired results.

You have lots going on! Looking good!

I may end up with some Franken-seeds too. The Burmese landace 100% Sativa in the same room with White Truffle community grow were natural hermaphrodites. Pollen was dropped before I noticed and removed them.

We will know in a few weeks if the White Truffle were pollenated. Two the White Truffle skipped veg, went directly to flower.

WT-2 taken last evening.

Keep mashing maybe kick it, reboot it, clear any last updates idk just talking computer tech stuff lol we will either adapt or keep complaining :winking_face_with_tongue:

Hey @Olaf.ILGM , I’ve crossed ILGM White Truffle to ILGM White Runtz, two of the highest yielding plants on there, @Dforce came up with the name Snowblind, and I think they should live up to it. I’d be happy to share seeds from that or my others to use as grow off beans if your interested, I pollinate whole plants, so way more than I can use.

Did I hear that some planties are being played with here??? :thinking: :smiling_face_with_horns:

Hey @Olaf.ILGM , that’s great news about your new grow efforts and all the fun you are experimenting with. I’ve always said it’s not the end of the road that counts, it’s the adventure along the way that truly makes it worthwhile. Glad to have you here in the trenches with us! Hey, will you be at the LA Grow thing on the 14th?

@Olaf.ILGM I expected a Hippy look from you. I was not disappointed at all :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::rofl::rofl::joy::joy:. Did not expect the Jesus image. Very retro man. Makes me remember the 70’s. Cool shit.

I thought the same thing :joy:

Lol, someone called me baby Jesus in a NZ bar once - that kinda frazzled me. Thinking back I wish I would’ve just said “bless you, my child”, but I wasn’t quick enough for the quip.

@merlin44 that’s awesome, can’t wait to see if you got some beans!

And @Growdoc that’s amazing! Pics look darn good too!
I love the idea of a forum-bred grow-off - everyone can be enlisted for the pheno-hunt and we can try and collectively stabilize it!
How many seeds do you generally get from whole-plant polli?

Lil’ update on the Terp Sneeze monster pheno - I tried to gently bent the leader but snapped it hard, so I was a little worried about some die-off. She’s recouped and you can see the side-branches have already straightened up and turned to the light (yay!)

This morning I opened a couple of calyx and was able confirm pollination and seeds forming.


I think that at least one seed is visible in that shot.

Let’s go!

The seeds will be Burmese Sativa crosses with pollen from full blown hermaphrodite plants.

I will fool around with the seeds but don’t have much confidence that they will be worth growing.

Yeah, good point - maybe not the best idea to start messing around with herm genes.

Lemme know if you’d like a replacement for that herm - because there ain’t no use for seeded out plants with questionable genes. [edit: by a replacement I mean a batch because it messing with your whole grow, depending on the extent of pollination that could seriously hurt the grow as a whole]

Sorry I missed that too - had a wild weekend so I am on my last remnants of brain capacity,
