For realsies? Why is it so friggin purple?!

It’s actually more pink than purple to the naked eye (the bud)
I get a lot of cool colours with cmh and the cree cobs. I have different many lights and spectrums.
when a plant does not receive massive amount of P I’ve found more genetic expression. (Some strains stay green even in my tent)
My grow gets pretty cold during lights out for a few hours a day when the veg light is off for a couple hours. This factors into the purple. Especially the leaves.
honestly tho, its all you bro. Genetics are factor #1 for this kind of thing I’ve found 👏

I should post a few more of what I refer to as the "fuschia" color of the Nigerian Sunshine BMR leaner. I was really surprised the first time I grew it out in cooler fall-like weather. It is really has a bright pink hue. Great job running these gems! Give us a smoke report once she has cured a bit!

she was slow.. now she’s hungry af and looks like she wants to yield.. women.. always changing their minds 😝
I have one in jars that still needs a smoke report. Then we’ll smoke up on pinky stinky there lol. Can’t wait
So excited I’ll have to jam to this classic album

Well, today I am finally getting around to cleaning the Blackwater. I know that it micropropagates in 0.5 micromoles of TDZ but this is an experiment to see if it works in 0.5 micromoles of meta-topolin.

I also used samples from two different plants, one indoors and one outdoors. You can clearly see the difference. There are ten samples and all I need is one to make it.

As I had imagined a lot of these plantlets had mold in them. No wonder she struggles. I am looking at about 80% of contamination today.

If these fail 100% I will dump, rinse clean, and pressure cook up some TDZ with PPM to prevent this kind of shit from happening. PPM (Plant Preservative Mixture) is a biocide that prevents molds and mildews from destroying whole batches of TC transfers. This is the fun part of science...figuring out what works and what doesn't.

OK, here is what I have packaged and up for grabs so far. Send a PM if you want some FREE seeds.

Bodega Bubblegum x Nigerian Sunshine (10+ seeds) - 21 pucks
Nigerian Sunshine #2 x Goji (20+ seeds) - 23 pucks
Nigerian Sunshine #1 x Granny Skunk (10+ seeds) - 16 pucks
Nigerian Sunshine #2 x Granny Skunk (10+ seeds) - 35 pucks
Nigerian Sunshine #2 x Granny Skunk (50 seeds) - 4 pucks

NS #2 is the Blue Moon Rocks pheno that I keep posting pictures of that has fuchsia calyxes indoors and light lavender coloring outdoors unless exposed to cold where it darkens dramatically. NS #1 is a different pheno that a local friend prefers. It stays green and doesn't have the BMR coloring influence. It is an uplifting, non-anxiety inducing old school smoke. Both are good yielders and go 65-73 days. (I personally prefer the latter end of that timeline and let mine ride to 72ish)

Also, when I was cutting plantlets for the Blackwater tissue cultures yesterday I noticed that the outdoor version had a mystery pollen donor. I will toss in a Blackwater x Mystery Box pack in for a few folks too since I have about 50 seeds. Since it sat out there for months and months in I-don't-give-a-fuck mode it could be one of a variety of males. Blueberry Muffin x GSC, Granny Skunk, Goji OG, or 88g13HP.

Anyone that has been following along knows that Blackwater is my primary keeper and I have had it for many years. This cut is originally from Cali Connection's Blackwater (regs) which is Mendo Purps x SFV OG Kush IBL.

I still have TONS of these left. Anyone that hit me up has some on the way already. If you are a Canadian just hang tight as they are on the way.

If you didn't get any and still want to send me a pm and we can get you set up.

I can barely get a clone to root. LMaO.

How are you sterilizing your plant material?
Off the cuff I think I was using 15%bleach for 15 min. Dunk in H2o2 then to sterile water.
I think I remember seeing lots of stock. Maybe try a growing top?

>>>>Checklist<<<<
-Ez-Cloner
-T5 Fluorescent Lighting
-Permaclone collars or brand new neoprene collars (only permaclone should be reused)
-RO Water
-Gloves
-Sterile brush and scissors (I use a tooth brush)
-Bleach
-UC Roots (STERILIZING AGENT)
-Clonex cloning solution (NUTRIENTS)
-Hormex liquid (ROOTING HORMONE)
-PH equipment

>Initial Cleaning Step: (only if you've had cloner issues)<
- If you've experienced brown roots or stem/Pythium - using gloves, disassemble the cloner + pump entirely. Use brush to scrub each piece with a mixture of hot Water and ~5ml/gal bleach. Reassemble. This should only have to be done once in a blue moon.
>Standard Cleaning Step (repeat every time before taking cuttings)<
- Rinse Permaclone collars in hot water to remove any debris. Place rinsed collars back in cloner
- Fill cloner with mixture of hot water and 5ml/gal bleach. Run for 8 to 12 hours. Drain
- Fill with tap water and rinse for 2 minutes. Drain
- Remove Permaclone collars and sterilize using any of the Permaclone methods. (microwave/pressure cooker/etc.)
- Place sterilized collars back in cloner with gloves. Cloner is ready for use now.

>STEP 1<
- Fill with RO water from sterile reservoir
- Add 2-3 mL/gal Hormex
- PH to 6.0 using a clean calibrated PH probe. (I sterilize with rubbing alcohol and Q-tips but bleach works too)
- Turn cloner on
- Add 10 mL/gal UC Roots
- Let run for 15 minutes

>STEP 2<
- Wearing gloves, Take big clones with roughly 6 to 8 nodes on top. More nodes untrimmed = more natural auxins produced. Make the initial cut ~1/2" below a node
- Clean up lower stem roughly 2-3"
- No need to trim leaves/scrape stem/split stem in half
- Place all cuts in cups with mixture of RO water and 20mL/gal UC roots. This helps prevent embolism and is handy for transporting from room to room. I make ~1 gallon and label solo cups with strain names.

>STEP 3<
- Before placing in cloner, make a second final cut on each clone directly at the base of the node that is 1/2" above your initial cut. There is a plug of carbohydrates found at each node and it will aid in rooting. The secondary cut also helps prevent embolisms.
- Place clones into cloner with roughly 2-3 inches of stem to go below the collars.

>STEP 4<
- Add another 10 mL/gal Hormex and run for 15 minutes
- Add 20 mL/gal Clonex solution

>STEP 5<
- Add 2mL/gal UC roots every other day until final transplant

>STEP 6<
- On day 7 the stems should have a spongey white look from the Hormex (pic attached), Drain system and fill with fresh RO water from sterile reservoir
- PH to 6.0 using clean PH probe
- Turn cloner on
- Add 20 mL/gal UC roots, run for 15 mins
- Add 30-40ml/gal Clonex solution. Really big clones love the 40 mL/gal but if taking regular sized clones use 30mL/gal

>>>>ENVIRONMENT<<<<
- T5 Fluorescent lighting roughly 18" from canopy
- 78-80 deg. F
- ~65% Relative hum.
- lights and pump on 24/7
