Circus Candy is x Blue Dream not BBYY. lol....


And I already accomplished the cross! lol.. It's in the buds in the closet drying right now. Some seeds are viable. I will just have to hit it with more Blue Dream pollen and make sure I have enough for the BXings. then It will be good.


As long as the fuckin progeny don't herm on me.

My Cotton Candy x GDP seeds are in there too.


I took down the Blue Dream today(The small one filled with seeds)

Got a bunch of bastard seeds from that bitch too. :)

Soooooooo....


Who know's about the Candy Store phenotype???


I might get a few extra beans to pop just to search for it...... That could make for a WONDERFUL strain to cross with Blue Dream. (Yeah I love this fuckin Blue Dream OKAY! lol.)

Anyways for those of you who DON'T
MZJILL-
Orange Velvet has since proven to be an excellent breeding strain. She seems to pass along her most desirable traits – strong orange flavor, shiny foliage and large dense colas – and seemed a logical choice to work with in development of my own strain. We crossed her with a Space Queen male, resulting in my popular strain, Jilly Bean.

The results were excellent and Jilly Bean’s accolades continue to grow. To date, there have been three different phenotypes. The first most resembles the Orange Velvet at about sixty-five percent and possesses a very strong orange flavor. This phenotype is the most commonly found of the three.

The second phenotype is an equal cross of both parents, making it the only one of the three not dominated by the Orange Velvet. We’ve named this phenotype Candy Store because of its super sweet candy-like flavor. After two years, Candy Store remains a personal favorite of mine, remaining in my head stash since first taste.

The third and final phenotype (sometimes referred to as the skunk phenotype) is closer to the Orange Velvet and possesses a skunky candied-orange flavor. It seems to be very similar to AE’s Cali-O strain. While it’s not the same plant, it is likely related. This third phenotype is found only about fifteen percent of the time. It is the shortest of the three and has a high pistil-to-leaf ratio. While it has the smoothest taste, it also has the smallest yield.

i had 2 jilly bean females. both looked very much alike. one had a very strong smell, almost like a purfume. the other has a lighter smell a little like the 1st but not as strong and a little sweeter. i think i like the lighter smelling one better as far as smoking flavor, but i can't keep my nose out of the jar on the stronger smelling one. i used a male to hit both the girls. the male had the strong smell like my 1st female. it's in jars now and will have to de-seed soon. i have not been ordering any beans so this is how i will get my fix, de-seeding my own projects.

both were pretty good yielders and i will def. grow jilly bean again.

I got a seed of the DBxL from a buddy of mine. I had a few sent to me in the mail a month back, but it was a rainy day and the mail got crushed. Oh well. I at least found one and will try it out.


If it's worth crossing I will give that a shot.

I'm not sure if I want to pop all the strains I have at once. If I get the new tent(s), then yeah I'll pop it all at once. But otherwise I will take it easy and test out my strains to see if there are any real keepers or not.

I can't wait to pop the Sour Blueberry x GDP and Original Blueberry x GDP.

Also wanna see what the BBYY(Indica) x GDP and BBYY(Sativa) x GDP look like. :)

I said heirloom earlier. Because I was pondering what constitutes a strain being one. And what constitutes a particular strain, being one that can be considered an original creation??

Check this out. It's a long read but it's explained pretty much.
Original landrace and other heirloom strains are often lost in today’s hyperkinetic world of breeding. ‘Landrace’ refers to strains that are indigenous to an area, such as Red Congolese. ‘Heirlooms’ are strains that were collected worldwide during the 1970s and propagated in Hawaii and Northern California. Our constant desire for new strains leads breeders to continually cross and re-cross existing strains looking for the next big thing. There is, however, a small but growing contingent of cultivators who’re returning to our cannabis roots and propagating old landrace and heirloom strains. Varieties range from pure African sativas to Afghani indicas, collected by world travelers on the infamous Hippie Trail (also referred to as the “Hashish Trail”).

All during the 1970s and early 1980s, cannabis aficionados of all stripes traveled the world smoking the finest cannabis and hashish available. From Nepalese temple balls to the famed Mazar-i-Sharif Afghani Black, the Hashish Trail was filled with exotic delights. The trail rolls on through Lebanese Red to Moroccan Kif, with stops in Bangkok for Chocolate Thai, and Columbia and Mexico for their infamous golden strains. Many of these intrepid souls also collected seeds during their travels. It was these landrace strains that became the basis for the nascent cultivation culture that eventually sprang forth in both Hawaii and Northern California.
Talk with any cannabis connoisseur old enough to remember these legendary strains and you’ll come away with tales of their epic strength. Equatorial sativas from Africa to Vietnam flourished in Hawaii’s tropical dreamscape of cannabis cultivation. Indicas from Afghanistan were more at home in Northern California’s cooler climate. I was fortunate enough to live on the Big Island of Hawaii from 1993 to 1997, and I can attest that the best cannabis I have EVER smoked was grown in volcanic soil on the slopes of the largest active volcano in the world, Mauna Loa. By the time I got there almost everything grown in Hawaii was some combination of genetics, no longer a landrace. Yet a few of the old-timers still had access to the classic ’70s strains, making for a wonderfully unique and diverse smoking experience.
From Nepalese temple balls to the famed Mazar-i-Sharif Afghani Black, the Hashish Trail was filled with exotic delights.
The scene in California at this time was slightly different. Northern California, as beautiful as it is, ain’t Hawaii. The Emerald Triangle rests approximately on the same parallel as Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush mountains. While Southern Californians could grow Columbian and Mexican sativas, their northern counterparts found the stocky indica plants much better adapted for their climate. Shorter flowering time allowed harvest to occur before the fall rains came with their mold-inducing downpours. These short and chunky plants produced the infamous skunkweed that became Northern California’s calling card. Again, anyone old enough to remember this cannabis will never forget the pungent, almost rancid, skunk-like aroma. I remember going to parties in the early ’80s with this herb double-bagged-and still being outed minutes after walking in. “Yo man, I know you’re holding, share the love!” Our own Steve DeAngelo also has memories of this era, saying that to this day he’s not seen cannabis like what he saw from Northen California in the late ’70s and early ’80s.
So what does all this nostalgia mean for modern patients and cannabis aficionados? Well, several breeders have also recognized the value in these old-school strains. Ace Seeds, CannaBioGenn, Reeferman Seeds and Tom Hill, as well as the one-and-only Neville, are all selling a wide variety of landrace and heirloom seeds. Look for some of these to be available at Harborside in the near future. Growers who’re looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive environment are turning to these varieties. For patients, many of these strains offer powerful relief in a different fashion than some of the more modern varietals. It’s not that they’re necessarily better, just different, and perhaps more effective for some patients’ specific conditions or needs. In any case, they’re strains definitely worth checking out.
Harborside Health Center frequently has landrace/heirloom strains. Red Congolese is a regular African landrace we feature. Chocolate Thai, Afghani, and Columbian/Acapulco Gold also often grace our shelves. The future will bring many more of these classic gems to Harborside. Be on the lookout soon for an entire heirloom line which will be packaged in its own special jar. If you’ve never tried any of these strains, please consider them next time you stop by. I think you may just enjoy these unique choices as much as I do.

I'm wondering...taking a afghan dom and crossing to a durban or some other funky land race sativa. Outdoors of course. Inbreed a few generations bx to the original. And viola do we have our own strain or do we have heirloom after how many generations?

Heirloom strains are the Classic 1970's strains created by crossing landrace strains(Mainly only done in Hawaii and NorCal)

You would be creating and stabilizing your own strain. Or recreating an old strain. either way it wouldn't be considered Heirloom.
