it'll be some decent mids, but why grow mids for 3plus months?

because I can?
Who said this is the only thing I have going. I have like three rooms of grows with exotics and other things like Runtz and IHG strains
never understood why people question the strains others decide to run.
and we will see what it is once it’s lab tested. I’ve had plenty of people tell me shit I was growing was gonna be bad and then come back testing 20%+

People are so stuck on the exotic hybrid hype train that they forget the down to earth fundamentals of growing and never really surpass a certain point because they always quick to run hybrids instead of trying to figure out how to get good enough to max out older strain capability.
Just like everybody told me running this would be a waste and couldn’t even possibly turn out decent or good and I’m proving that to be wrong everyday.

That shit looks better than my Pineapple AK auto.
And watch the high from this be STELLAR. . . I mean, think about how stupid-high we used to get on the shitty brickweed. I used to simply think it was due to lack of oxygen, but maybe there was something great about the weed, that, even compacted into gas tanks and spare tires, still was able to retain some "medicinal" value.
I, for one, am colored impressed by this grow. Fine job, sir. Fine job

We didn't all grow up smoking kind. Humble thyself.

That's the scenario that got me into growing: start some seeds from what was considered "good" weed at the time.
The results were ALWAYS substantially better than the source weed.
Quality genetics were essentially non-existent; only available through Amsterdam seed catalogs available in the back of High Times
during the peak of Operation Green Merchant.

People just wanna hit the Easy button and we know it all starts from genetics. There’s just something unexplainable satisfying from turning shit into gold. I’m sure the breeders of the hybrids felt the same way when creating the accomplishments of the high end strains. It’s the same thing. Let’s take something and give it a chance and see what we can do with it.
Honestly there’s a lot of older terpene profiles and etc from the past that have faded away. People don’t even like smoking stuff that smells fruity anymore. The new generation wants everything to:
1. Smell like onions and dirty socks
2: be colored purple everywhere.
3. Make you throw up when hitting it.
it has all growers now growing the same shit and doing the same things and being boring. Every single strain out these days is purple or forced purple by low temp drops. Misleading people to thinking purp automatically equals good. Most people have it easy with growing exotics and try to grow older more unstable strains and fail miserably because they just aren’t good at the basic fundamentals

This was a fun thread to follow. Thank you.
With that said your plant has had nitrogen toxicity the entire time of flower. You could have gotten way better frost, way less foxtails, and way less nanners if you had treated it properly during flower.
Your lab tests will only show what these are capable of being under the conditions you set. They have alot more potential than what has been shown here.

I know. I never once said everything was 100% dialed in and it was in a 10 Gallon bucket of coco needing constant feeding and difficult to feed with a strain neither me or probably 75% of growers these days have ever even touched for themselves. I also couldn’t flush it because it was a 10 Gallon bucket in a constrained room that I could not flush like I wanted to because I couldn’t really move it out of the tent. Once I did figure out how to move that extremely heavy bucket into a place where I could drain it then it helped get rid of the salt buildup
Everybody can do better, that’s the entire premise of growing;experiment, learn, do better next time around. The labs will show it’s still good for what it is and yea I already know what can be better next time around. its about knowing you can beat those tests the next time, similar to a high score.
Im not sure if that was meant to be constructive criticism but coming at it with a completely negative approach and glass half empty instead of half full is not the way to go about it.
Mostly I purposely stressed this plant to see how much stress it could handle by doing different things as well, ice, low temps etc. but a lot of the foxtailing is purely genetics. The foxtailing occurred with no stress from the beginning and no issues and it is well documented that these types of strains are known to naturally foxtail but maybe you’ve never see that before. I’m running multiple other rooms under the same conditions with no issues.

It had nothing to do with negativity at all. It has to do with you seeming to blame those nanners on it being a possible landrace. I was just not sure you realized what had actually happened.

I blamed the nanners on the stress I put on the plant, not just it being a landrace…I said I stressed the plant beyond the environment it was typically meant for. Which is true because different strains are acclimated to different environments through evolution. This plant was just a lot more easily stressed than others. I have multiple other plants in the same environment that had zero issues. So it was this plant alone.
I was more so responding to your remark about lab tests because that’s literally what lab tests are for..to show you your results of everything you did. No more no less and it’s up to you to go from there.

Nice result, how does it taste? Or have you fired up a bowl yet?

Good stuff bro, i once grew some amazing bud from mexican brick weed. It tasted like lavender, and made pain melt away.
Im also sprouting some mystery seeds at the moment, that i found in a old drawer and some Ethos Vineyard freebies that Ethos has no information on.
Whats the final product taste and smell like, and the quality of high?
Cheers!

Got any mexcian brick weed seeds to spare? 
Some of the best weed i've ever smoked was brick weed believe it or not.
