So the initial grow of the female pheno hunt ends, 10 weeks with first week at 14/10. 4, maybe 5 nice phenos worth another run to see how they behave as clones, a few of them are looking good, very vibrant.

Will have to judge once they've had some cure but 4 of them I've tested so far have a lot of flavour in there. The BR2-3 pheno which is almost identical to BR2-5 is the strongest I've tried so far in flavours, heavy indica-leaning stone that lasts a couple of hours. Puffed on some BR2-5 earlier and not much different but more of head stone, still buzzing pretty good :eyesmoke:

There were originally 16, 8x BR1 seeds and 8x BR2 seeds, culled down to 13, then 4 males were culled. The BR2 seeds produced the best overall plants in smell, flavour and size. The only BR1 seed worth another run is that "JTR" pheno, BR1-4. The BR2's have a funkier smell and similar colouring. If you were to run a pack of BR2 seeds pretty sure you'd end up with at least a couple worth running again.Will pop BR2's looking for a male when I get some time to focus on that. Looking to find an F2 male like the F1 male that made these seeds and make some F3's. Have 40-50 of the original F2's plus 200+ that were just de-seeded from the BR2 F1 female, should find something there ;)

Here's how they started and ended up in flowering:

Something a little more serious and a reminder what drives me to grow. Some 50/50 Harlequin & Blue Ripper pro-bono caps which will be ongoing every couple of weeks. The brother of one of the nicest people I know is not in good shape with lung cancer. He went through chemo and radiation, then 6 months later just got re-diagnosed and cannot go through another round, he's just done and I totally understand, I wouldn't have gone through it again if I'd had to. It just breaks you physically and mentally, nothing has ever done that to me like chemo and radiation back to back. She called me asking if I could help as she'd heard I make these through another friend I helped out last year. Super nice people but can't afford the $200/gram for oil our f'n medical system is charging. Sad situation that no one should ever have to face. Hoping at minimum they give him some comfort and who knows...

If anyone is ever in a situation where they need help, don't feel bad asking for it and please do what you can if you're in a place where you can help out. If I can't give a hand up to someone in this situation I shouldn't be growing.

I also primarily grow for my wife who suffers from fibromyalgia and uses quite a bit of what i have grown so far for edibles. The watermelon strain I grew worked fairly well for her, the other mystery strain, not so much.

From what I've read it seems to be hit and miss by strain so trying different strains and keeping the one's that work could help. Good luck with it. It has so many uses if people are open to trying it, imo edibles work the best for medical applications.

Reload time :D

Day 30 for the 4x 3gal's at the back under CMH, Day1 for the new 3x 5ga under the Tasty LED COBs. First run with these 3590's, should be good, those 5gal's are all huge before the stretch. 2x Blue Ripper 2/F1 clones on the left and 1x Fireballs on the right. One thing the COBs get me is another 8" of height, going to need it with these :shock:

Hey try a high thc strain with a little cbg and cbn too. My quantum kush is like that. It seems to work well for my friend who is has MS and a brain tumor. He seems to go after more high thc rather than cbd. He's a small real skinny guy too. Body chemistry I'm sure plays a factor . He's done chemo and radiation. He's doing a lot better now than he was last year. The meds he was on last year had him so sedated. He was so incoherent and could barely stand on his own or those meds. Probably part of the reason why he wanted the high thc.

Yeah I'm thinking mixing up sift from a couple of strains to make the caps is a good way to go. Mixing up the Harlequin with either the Blue Ripper or JTR should give it a good range of cannabinoids. All the pharma meds they put you on with these diseases have so many side effects, the MJ meds help with a lot of them. One called prednisone which is in the steroids line is commonly used with chemo treatments and that stuff can keep you awake 22 hours a day. I used to do sift straight up by the pipe full just to get myself down enough to sleep. Cheers.

Prednisone is a bitch, I'm on 60mg a day right now and it's not my only med. The MJ has gotten me off a lot of meds though, especially for the nerve pain. So my hearts out to your patient and to you for the help. I am 100% sure they're ever so grateful as I know I would be....

Cheers Evil, hope you don't have to stay on that for any length of time. I went septic form an infection about 6 months after my chemo, they put me on 100mg twice a day for 5 days and no weaning off it. I had withdrawal symptoms for 3 days when I came off them, f'n brutal stuff and very addictive. I always have way more MJ than I can consume personally, putting some of it to good use hopefully. They're super nice people and very grateful, kind of people you go out of your way to help.

I had some bad vomiting last week and went through these withdrawls WORST experience of my life. Worse than the damn paralysis I had in my legs/arms. I thought I was cramping from being dehydrated, turned out it was withdrawls from ALL of my meds at once. The Prednisone, Tramadol, Lexapro, Gabapentin, etc.........

Was not a fun three days bud

Again more power to you for helping these folks out :clap:

Yeah those pharma meds can be brutal, hoping for a quick recovery and getting off that shit as soon as you can. The cocktails of pharma meds, each with it's own side effects and probably a few that are addictive fucks with your system and your head. That's where the MJ helped me a lot, bringing me down a bit and stopped my mind from racing.

That, the relief from anxiety and insomnia, and the nerve pain has been the best relief for me thus far. I have slowly been weaning off of the Gabapentin thanks to the MJ......

Camshot of the going to be over-filled flower room - lol Those 3 new one's by the door are going to fill more than half the room, 3.5 x 4.5' or so when they finish stretching and~ 4.5' high. I'll move them down to the back when the 3gal's finish and swap the lights around. Those will give those Tasty LED's a challenge, could be good if they're up for it :D

Tagged them to show what's going on in there:
