Indeed! My Aunty made it under the super moon and it inspired her touch to the piece which fits me well being named Fox Man and of the Dawn Societies teachings

Bring on the fall rain! The last will endure this week of wet weather ahead regardless of the risk of mold. I actually prefer to see what’s truly resistant, as well as what’s not. I feel it’s imperative when breeding to know this. Therefore I take extreme risks others may not. I do make sure to have more than enough to compensate for losses though.

Granddaddy Haze pheno of Gibberish I pulled out of the last of my F1 seeds this year after realizing I wanted to see what’s left before I look at my F2 pool. I was a lil surprised to see this purple recessive in this Haze dom pheno and can’t wait to trip out on the smoke this winter…

Jack-Pot F1 cuts I kept from last year to push more seeds this year! I used the Second Lady to produce Jibber Jabber and it’s become a fav of the two in my circles due to its intense lemon head candy nose and mouth which this living soil organic run has proven to be super loud and super tasty!

Lemon head candy sounds like a winner

Indeed Pepperpicante, being a Chef I’m adamant about taste being loud and lemons one of my favs to work and smoke. The limonene really helps with mold prevention due to its antifungal properties.

Limonene is very common and seems to be liked and selected by smokers and breeders alike. Often it will be different with genetic variance and diff combinations, even though similar. I prefer the loudest of lemon, yet I love it when there’s a pine or gas added to its composition. Even better, the cleaning compound smell and taste Skoosh is most known for due to Subcool (RIP) bringing forth the pheno of Skoosh that became known as Jacks Cleaner. It was the most intense lemon cleaner one could smoke. It was like having a drink of lemonade in a janitors closet. I keep this old ladies offspring even though I no longer hold the long lost P1 Jacks Cleaner cut passed down to me from Ae77 long ago.

It’s that time of the year as well for our 8 legged relatives known as Spiders. This one made way into our home seeking warmth and it didn’t get the approval of my wife! She thinks this is the size of a Tarantula even though it’s not that big. It was relocated back into the great outdoors and no spiders were harmed during production

Sounds like you gotta make yourself some infused limoncello.

I concur! The trim and lowers is going to be just that and the rest pressed… I’ll in turn make some extraordinary dishes with it all in my R&D Kitchen.

Well she ended up being the hardiest of the last of the outdoor and gave one last glam shot unlike the rest Ill post next.
We’ve had over a week of frosty nights and devils night was a deep freezer unlike last nights heavy frost, so it’s time. Otherwise bud rot will set in and all would be lost …I’m a bit surprised by this girl being more Narrow Leaf then anything in her flower set, but her Broad side has surfaced with an incredible tolerance to freezing.. Guess I’ll have to save her seeds and see what they bring next year hopefully carrying this tolerance trait !

Here’s some of the others I left to see how they faired in the cold snap. Most are just lowers and a few seeded buds I wanted to develop more and be prepared by the cold for next spring, just in case they needed this natural effect to be truly ready without my freezer.. I’ve had fresh seed that wouldn’t pop until stratified before and figured it’s best this way and I get to see how they faired when pushed to the extremes ! So now that that’s accomplished the time is here to close the 2025 outdoor season.
It wasn’t the worst year, but it wasn’t the best either due to augusts cold wet snap late in the month. Luckily though we ended up with a rather warm fall without too much rain even though PM was harsh due to it all and bud rot inevitable with the non-resistant varieties -mainly the broad leaf.

While most people now are fretting over the anxiety of properly drying their harvest, I’m more concerned as a breeder about my seeds! I can afford to loose some flowers if rot sets in due to spores already being present at harvest. I won’t rush things no matter how high of risk, instead I’ll continue to dry whole or quartered plants in cool dark drying areas I’ve found to be better then that paradigm of 60/60. It may be the most ideal for inside drying I won’t disagree with, but there’s even better ways of dark room drying utilizing unheated structures even if the risks of loss are increased. With the other methods I’ve come to realize there is a decrease in terpene and thiol loss due to drying hastily to minimize risk and loss, but with loss of nose and mouth.
I’m a Chef, so I reflect a lot on the taste of weed more than anything else when it comes to drying. Potency I don’t have to really focus on having my own harem and well developed seed lines both hybridized, as well as pure and inline bred by myself through years of perseverance and dedication. With this said I can’t stand loosing my seed nor that ultimate smoking sensation people never experience with the quasi-legal commercial weed scene. Worked in it just long enough to know how and why it all ends up tasting the same and burning like sawdust, or worse yet not burning evenly due to uneven drying! Most people still point the fingers at salts and improper flushing when they experience the charcoal like quality of weed that just doesn’t combust properly due to uneven drying due to rushing things as mentioned!
I am also an avid tobacco grower and I’ve learned a thing or two from my peers about how tobacco is processed and what makes it burn alongside the proper moisture levels necessary to ensure such and a smooth smoking experience. Phosphorous is a main ingredient and catalyst in building a plant fire and without, your gonna have a lot of dark ash due to incomplete combustion! It’s no diff with weed, be it leaf or flower if not given ample amounts as well as drying it evenly while allowing for the necessary time frame -that’s simply not a “one size fits all theme”, like so many people parrot and believe! False beliefs thanks to good old bro-science and that parroting people are prone to after hearing bad information they believe to be the gospel due to their own lack of experience and ignorance. Sadly this applies to so much of life, where experience is everything!
I’ll conclude this ramble here with a photo of what I treasure the most, security and personal freedom within the seeds I make yearly outside along with the help of the natural world. The wind will always be a guiding force, along side our native pollinators and the foreign here like bees. They too can shape seeds unexpectedly no matter how much I quarantine the males well before they are truly dropping pollen in excess. Those early preflowers are often the guiding force behind this , there’s no 100% way of stopping it too unless kept on separate parcels of land or within buildings with strict air flow and filtration! I’d rather nature take her course though tbh, most if not all of the best herb came from such and not human intervention due to the mysterious ways of the plants survival mechanisms and sexual nature! I guarantee that 99% of our legendary clone only came about like so, regardless of all the never-ending tall tales and flat out lies.
These branches were marked by myself before hand pollinating with color indicating pipe cleaners wrapped on each base to allow me to monitor development and identify the make up of the male pollen donator. I do keep the males separated by great distances to ensure less odds of fly away. Yet there is always a mystery when finding seed again in the earliest of pre-flower within the internodes. These seeds are often the most mature, strongest and hardiest due to them not being subjected to mass pollination that occurs even when hand pollinating with q-tips and paint brushes. I do though grow these with a little more scrutinization and monitoring just in case it is due to stray pollen from an unsuspecting male on my property. Knowing your genetics as well as yourself, family, friends and lovers helps immensely when deciphering the pollen donor. Especially when juxtaposed next to the well identified seed stock I’ve hand shaped into existence!
I hope my knowledge base helps others as they learn this art and the science behind it as well! I don’t bullshit and only relay what I’ve learned through my peers and more importantly from the plants themselves…
Walk in Peace… Fox Man
