Thanks for offering to pick up for others. If Sunpirates gets on the list here I will send a seed pack to OGF in his name. OGF will take it from there. They are under no obligation to do special delivery but probably will be happy to help members with this if you ask.

Otisgardens web site will be maintained for us to share and disseminate the strains and information about them for as long as possible. Still, always a good idea to save on your computer any web pages from here that you want to keep.


Mostly look for what you like, what smells good to you. Odds are if it looks good and smells good to you then it also will to others. Ask friends to help smell. The difference between noses is surprising. You may find a plant you love and everyone hates or vice versa. The ultimate goal here is sync with a plant, grow your own cure, then share it. Two plants that did not make it into my lineup were AK-47 and Jack Herer. I lost those. If anyone can introduce those genes to the pool I would appreciate it.


General vigor,  early trichome formation, large bud size, and good smell are the first things to select. Then look for bud size. You can rub stems with fingers to get an early indication of smell. With males this is the only smell test. Bud smell gives a good indication of the finished product but no smell is sure until the dried buds have cured for a month. Stronger smelling plants cure better. Strong smells generally come through as flavors. Smells can change substantially through curing. Potency and effect are unknown until the plant is smoked.


Keep notes on your observations. They add up and are indispensable for making calls on which plants to cull or keep. Blue painters tape makes the best labels. Blue tape can get wet and is removable like a post-it note so it can travel from little to big pot. Keep a sharpie marker nearby and put your notes right on the tape. Labeling is the one thing you Do Not want to get wrong. Incorrect labeling can screw everything up.


Might as well also mention that without a pest control plan you are likely going to fail. I have not emphasized this enough in the past. Have at least neem oil and insecticidal soap on hand as a first line of defense. As soon as you see any bug you have to spray. Cheap pressurized sprayers are useful. Use of a respirator highly recommended. Use a fogger if you are sensitive or your garden is large. I use neem and soap in combination at 95% neem with a little soap as a surfactant. Also use straight soap but it is harsher on new plants. You can wash the soap off after a few minutes if you like. It works on contact. Be on the lookout for little yellow dots on leaves that are the telltale sign of the dreaded spider mite. You must address those little yellow dots immediately or you will lose everything. Mites love pot and grow rooms.


Avid works as a preventative for insects and a cure. Use it or something similar if neem and soap do not work or if your problem has advanced to infestation stage. I think Azamax is similar if you can't get Avid. Procure works well for powdery mildew and bud rot as a preventative. Oregon's wet climate necessitates a preventative dose of fungicide before blooming. If you ever have mold or PM buy three more fans. You have an air flow problem. Preventatives are used only in veg, never in flower.


Concentrated hydrogen peroxide is the only thing you can safely use on blooming plants that have bud rot or PM. It is sold as Oxidate, works very well, and leaves no trace. It is a very good idea to spray blooming plants with Oxidate in their fourth or fifth week of bloom to avoid finding hidden bud rot at the trimming table. Worth saying that sulfur burners can be used to treat PM in bloom. They should not be used within 30 days of using neem or with wet leaves. Most fungicides work by raising the leaf pH. In fact, milk at 7 to 1 will work like that as a fungicide. Hydrogen peroxide doesn't work by raising pH. It oxidizes and destroys the mold or mildew, which fizzes off into the atmosphere. Peroxide is the only thing I want on my plants in flower.


Another thing while I'm thinking about it. The easiest way to open zip locks is slide your fingers horizontally in opposite directions while pinching the zipper. Pulling the zipper can break the bag and send seeds flying everywhere.

You are in. By my reckoning we are at 33-36 on the list out of forty total depending on whether or not the three who did not say which club come back and do that.
