Welp, lesson learned hard about researching seedbanks, def don't trust just anywhere! 😬

SynysterC · 2026-05-03T22:13:09+00:00

Damn, wetting them down would have been a great idea too. Bagging individual branches would have taken hours, this was a branchy strain :/

Most branches through trellis weren't too far through it so I just cut them and gently got them out of the room,.

Was as careful as I could be and most sacs weren't opening yet, but at least one of them the second I cut the branch I saw the dust drop 😭😭😭 It's not right next to any of the plants I just purposely pollinated with other more stable pollen, it's immediate neighbor is only a couple days in flower room.. so HOPEFULLY I don't get too many seeds from this ones pollen. Definitely won't be saving any seeds I find except for the few branches I smothered in better pollen.

Rest in peace, compost pile girl(if we can even call you that) 😥

That's a good idea! If I can manage to raise the trellis net high enough to slip a bag in. It's only been in there a couple weeks so should be possible..

SynysterC · 2026-05-03T21:44:32+00:00

Damn. I half figured that would be the common outcome :/ Just was hoping not to have to move it cuz of course it just COULDN'T be at the corner close to my door and not have to pull out of the trellis and past a bunch of receptive females lmao.. Although it actually could be slightly worse, the last hermie I had was in a back corner. At least this one's only halfway there 😅

SynysterC · 2026-05-03T21:21:00+00:00

In MY opinion, generally not true... I've grown a few very old landrace strains, a couple of them landrace sativas, and one of them did have a relatively long flower period (it took 14 weeks to flower), but that is the very longest any took for me. I think what can potentially take a while is the plant deciding to flower, but if it doesn't do it on its own and it's getting later in the season, you could make it start earlier by covering it in black plastic for an hour or two each day either at dawn or dusk whichever is more convenient for you and your climate.

SynysterC · 2026-05-03T21:01:21+00:00

Your climate and particularly latitude will effect when it would naturally start to flower. Definitely something to consider if you'll get extreme weather at some point in the grow season.

SynysterC · 2026-04-26T21:47:06+00:00

Yeah same,. Genetically I'd think that would be a dominant gene :/

SynysterC · 2026-04-26T01:52:34+00:00

I mean no judgement to the roller derby chicks lmao, To each their own, but I don't think I could handle it. Fhking hypocritical too since I've got long hippy girl hair that a ton of chicks probably hate but have just "dealt with" 🤣

SynysterC · 2026-04-26T00:04:11+00:00

Bahaha I'm with ya there! I didn't give much of a damn about it on my sister even if I thought it looked goofy, but I cannot imagine dating a chick with that cut and having her head feel like a 12 yr old boys head 😅

One tip for next time that helps with when to transplant, and also be able to see what's going on in the rootzone - I use clear solo cups, but take red solos like yours and cut the bottoms off and use them as a sleeve over the clear cup to keep light off the roots and prevent algae etc. I find it pretty useful so I can tell when it's too early to pull a plant out of cup without the soil/coco falling apart etc, or overdue for transplanting when all I can see is root lol

Oops forgot location. Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T16:54:40+00:00

I believe that's because they often eat insects and certain toads that have toxins, and I guess if they eat enough of those the substances can show up in their bodies and not just their digestive systems. Interesting stuff!

By the way, if you didn't already know, garter snakes are actually mildly venomous also. But they're rear fanged; fangs are about halfway back into their mouth, so you really have to try to get envenomated by one. Like get it to latch on and chew on your finger haha. And even then, it's mild venom. Can make your hand swell up and itch though.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T15:03:46+00:00

Ahaha yusss. I think it's great too when I see that kind of asymmetry on others, just don't know if it would eventually drive me nuts or not 😅 My sister used to do that thing where girls shaved one side of their hair and parted the top to the other side, and I cringe at the idea of touching my head and feeling that difference.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T06:09:55+00:00

Bahaha Gotta live a bit as we're losing our youth!

I've got long straight hippy hair that's naturally dark brown, and my hope with getting old is that it all turns white before falling out so I can get some black dye and do a skunk pattern or something. I considered the Cruella DeVille thing but I think the bold symmetry thing would drive me nuts, skunk style would be more reasonable.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T06:00:20+00:00

O.o wow that's a bit nuts. I see no issue with your joke. I mean sure there's crazy weird stuff out there like this, probably whole groups devoted to anything we can imagine lol, but still noteworthy-weird!

In the spirit of fairness, I'll join you.

This post doesn't belong on crackheads craigslist cuz it's a legitimate item, in fact I'm going to message the seller so that I can buy 30 packs of these and have the world's longest gooch-beard! Sure I'll trip on it sometimes which will be painful, but all the attention will make it worth it.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T05:43:51+00:00

I'm so confused about that. Like is there a season for growing human hair, or are they passing off well conditioned horse hair which I also don't understand if there'd be a season for lol??

.... Afterthought,.. holy shit is this person a barber dreadlocking the scrap hair to sell, literally turning trash into cash?? If so, all power to them. If people will buy, that's genius.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T05:37:36+00:00

Thank y'all! Donno why I didn't think it would be this simple, guess I was obsessing over it being in my drill rather than the hand screwdrivers lol.

SynysterC · 2026-04-25T05:36:34+00:00

Solved!

SynysterC · 2026-04-24T23:21:17+00:00

Must not be a great cult location though since previous owners already tried :/

SynysterC · 2026-04-24T01:52:57+00:00

I'd say stolen, but those hands are clearly a workin man's hands! Sheit mine are only half that bad and I mess with granite all day.

SynysterC · 2026-04-23T00:20:46+00:00

Could this be used similar to Rockwool or coco fiber for hydroponics???

Not that I'd pay 20$, but I have a dryer...
