My first breeding project...Black Tea Tangie x Feral Octane. Long live the homegrower. Thanks for the great genetics BGS!
I used a quitip to apply the pollen on three flowers on one stem.

Popped April 1st and topped twice indoor. Transplanted from a 10 gallon pot outside into this 40 with the bottom cut out on June 1st and lolipopped. Topped again on June 7 and supper cropped last week. All there's left to do is let her grow👍
This was grown in a 3 gallon bag, topped once and flipped at after about 6.5 weeks of veg. Two branches were pollinated with a Feral Octane male. These are surprisingly dense and weighty. I twisted one up yesterday (uncured, of course) and it has a creamy orange taste. The smell is orange. The smoke is thick and creamy...not tangy. Good smoke, but I'm sure in about eight weeks it will be even better. It's sister is outside in a guerilla location and is THRIVING. I had to super crop 12 tops on it yesterday and had to stand on my toes to do it. There's not one single blemish on her leaves, which is unusual for my hot steamy climate.
Last year I grew four plants in 25 gallon tubs. I popped them June 1st inside and put them out on August 1st. The Grimm Truffles yielded about 14 oz. Haze x C99, Dimension 369, and Princess Haze x Cap Junky. I decided to just do one strain this year. I popped this one on April 1st and transplanted it into this 30 gallon tub from a 10 gallon bag (She was really root bound. I should have done it last week) with the bottom cut out of it. Most of the soil is from last year's tubs and I revitalized it with 3-6-5 and bone meal. I also added a large bag of potting soil and a large bag of manure compost. I'll hit it with fish emulsion about once per week for added nitrogen until she starts stretching. It's been topped three times and I'll build a trellis frame later. Got her in just before the rain👍
I used a qutip on one branch only. I did the same on a RS-11 and yielded about 40 keeper seeds. I did that not to pollinate the other flowers and it worked well. I'm really looking forward to the results. How long do I need to allow the seeds to cure?
I'm not saying this lightly, and I know everyone's cannabinoid systems and preferences are different. Having said that...I'm 66 and this is the best weed I have ever smoked. Usually I'm a sativa lover, but this one is the best of both worlds. Extremely potent! Like the first hit is felt immediately and after about 3 or 4 you're done.
Secondly, the terp profile is what I remember from a lid I bought back in 1981. It's not that pineapple poor duplicate stuff I grew a few years ago, which wasn't bad from ILGM, but it wasn't the real McCoy. It's not what I've purchased in a dispensary of the same, either.
Dirty Bird selected one from Sticky Fingers to self. They hit a home run! My wife says it smells like armpits, but I detect vanilla and skunk. I believe this is an heirloom from Hawaii. Rumor had it, back in the day, that the OG Maui came from seeds in a bag from soldiers on R&R from Vietnam, which guess was a Thai Stick sativa grossed with an Afghan, thus the rock hard buds, ease of trimming, and with very sturdy branches. Did I say loud? Yes, it has a very memorable smell.
I ordered more and will clone this time.
