So my wife had emergent surgery and then her father died, all in about 4 weeks time. This meant that these plants received either no love at all, or love by a very kind house sitter, for the last 4 weeks of flowering. All in all - they still turned out nice. They trimmed up good and their smoking pretty mellow right now. Jelly Donutz is great for my gaming. Hawaiian Unicorn for those work meetings I just want to end.
Jelly Donutz (White Runtz x Hella Jelly) seed #2 (Humboldt Seed Co. gifted to me, you know who you are, they are lovely, thank you <3 ) the nose on this one is a little slighter than from seed #1 but she put out more uniform nodes. And I like how I can see the pink coming out on her. Next run - she will get more love and we may get to see her true colors.
And Hawaiian Unicorn (Hawaiian Punch x Unicorn Poop) by Thug Pug Genetics, in their in-store only seed packs at Horizon Hydroponics, so sad they closed their Lansing location. Wow - this 12 seed pack I have really enjoyed. I’ve got 3 very distinct phenotypes out of it and man, they all pack a punch. I’m keeping two, one which I have renamed Aloha Unicorn, as she has a much fruitier intensely citrus punch and really says HELLO. And this fair lady, who makes my whole house smell like a skunk rolled over and then died, very different from all the others, which were various kinds of fruity lovefest. <3 She still has hints of fruit/citrus but the stank is strong with her.
I’m looking forward to my winter harvest. I’ll be doing Aloha Unicorn, Jelly Donutz (from seed #2), and Jilly Bean. I’ve got Cheetah The Hut on deck as well - I just cannot decide if I’m ready for that whole house smell.
I’m excited to say that these with such a short phenohunt (only 19! seeds over the last 12 months) I really feel like I’ve found some keepers and I’ll be bringing them over to my licensed grow to be available early next year. Hopefully, other people will like them as much as I do.
We just finished a separate phenohunt there - with over 30 varieties from seed swapping events around the country. We’re bringing back some old stuff - doubling down on some local favorites - and leaning into full flavor, and a couple that are real dumpers for those rosin bois out there.
