Anyone done these 12/12 from seed? Anyone tried to root cuts yet?

I have never tried 12/12 from the jump myself but am thinking of doing maybe 3 of the 6 I have soaking this way.

I gave 5 of my seeds to a bud who helped me out in a big way. He will pass back a cut of each if I desire (which I know I will). I gave him some Critical Mass, Med Man, and Mango Haze as well. I told him to feel free to pass the genes around - the more that are growin, the harder it will be for them to find us all. He has SSH from when Shanti was still at Greenhouse and has done some really neat crosses. He and his are really good people who are in the game for reasons I find respectable so I hope I haven't crossed any lines by passing the new genes around - I thought he was gonna start doing back flips when I handed him the seeds from this new hybrid. He was so excited about having the Nev's Skunk, more so than any of the others.


I got all the materials I need to build a new area so I can finally ditch this toxic tent today!! Have a friend sleepin here to help me when the room wakes up...

Sooooo excited to get back on track!! Have some Med Man soaking as well.

Ya'll think the Mango Haze would be a better option for 12/12 from the jump?

I know this thread is bi-polar but man, sooooo many options!
 
If you think about Neville's Skunk cloning I will try to root cuttings taken from NS outdoor plants.
Will let ya know in couple days ... clones are little dried cause transportation from G place to home and no water for about 1 hour.
Now is it the cup with pure water, couple hours so I will use cloning powder late tonight.

I bought the MM off of Shanti directly in the last few months.

Both strains started breaking the soil this morning. They about all up now.
 
Well, I pretty sure only one MM and one Nev's Skunk ended up being chicks lookin at their pre"s. I just soaked another set so we"ll see what happens.I can't bitch since my female to male ration has been about 80% with Mr Nice seeds, last time I had to pick ones to kill in veg since too many chicks.

Will lett ya"ll know how it turns out. The Nev's Skunk is sooooo easy to grow. Haven't run into any nute whores. I was surprised that the Med Man has way skinnier leaves than the NS but damn, the NS can stink up a place in veg.
 
Nop, in matter of fact I feed crazy but I dont get problems.
At least any living organism is sensitive on ph, even your body.

Dont know, but I have feeling you work without ph/ec meter ...
 
Only my lone Nev's Skunk got burned. None of my Med Mans, Mango Haze, or Critical Mass have had any problem. It is growing great now but if I put a fraction of the nutes I put on the others I get problems. Maybe this is just one of those overly sensitive plants. The male I kept is healthy as can be in a half gallon pot without being fed in months.
 
So, my lone Nev's Skunk female is getting about done. Been around 95 days since flip.

I took about a third off so far and will be taking the rest in the next few days.The early sample buds are better than most other strains grown til finish. This particular female is a perfect hybrid - smack dab in the middle of a Skunk and a Haze as far as growth pattern and bud formation. It has long buds but they are super dense. A 2.5 gram bud is the size of the gram nugs of the other strains I dried recently.

The resin production is off the charts. I have to use alcohol to get the sticky off my arms and hands after working on or around her. It has that golden color resin(and a fuck-ton of it), dark orange hairs and a rich green. The stink is off the charts.

I am really looking forward to running a bunch of these to look for a mom or two. Once I get my Indica mom search finished this is my first priority.

I am guessing since I have only grown out this one female but, I have a feeling this is going to be Shanti's next "super strain". It has it all except for yield and I am betting there is some higher yielding phenos in the pack. This particular plant would be perfect for a sea of green grower.

I really wish I had a way to take macro pics. The buds are as pretty as they get. It looks good enough to be on an advertisement for the strain.

Even the early buds had me laughing at everything. I was driving down the road and couldn't stop giggling.

Fuck talking bout it, I need to go smoke some NOW

I have to say it again- This is killer herb!!

I have only had early samples and it blows away most of my herb, we will see if it stays that way after a week of smoking it.

I still have about 75% of the plant I am letting go to the end of the peak window and am predicting something that rivals my best SSH and La Ninas with better bud structure than the LN and denser than all but one NL leaning SSH but may be even harder when it finishes.


Can't wait to do a good run of these. I doubt that I got the super rare pheno in the one female I got - I am sure that there are many more gems in the pack. I am guessing the potential for several phenotypes is serious. The one I have is smack dab in the middle of the 2 killer parents. I hope to have a way to post pics by the next run so ya'll can see what these look like up close.

I think the more info that gets out on this strain the more popular it is going to become. I can't say enough good about it. I hope this feeling holds up with the more mature buds after a good cure and a chance to build tolerance. Even if i get used to the high a bit the flavor and appearance is something to behold. WE used to grow a (Skunk x Haze) in the early - mid nineties that we got from Shanti. It ended up being the strain for our large commercial op as it hit the highest average scores on all concerns. I can see the potential to find a plant to rival that one, if not a better one.

This plant has very little trimming to be done on top of all the other pluses.


I wish I lived somewhere I could dedicate a whole room to a couple packs of these. I would love to have the time and place to run the winners a few times to find the one, two, or 3 super special moms that I am sure are in there.

Check it out guys.
 
Nev's Skunk

I've definitely got my eye on this strain...looks like the man has done it again...your testamonial speaks volumes, mate...jay:)
 
I dropped some Mango and CM clones off at a buddies house the other day along with an EARLY sample of the the Nev's Skunk and went back by today to get some of his cuttings and he and his old lady (whose dad has SSH from the early/mid 90's and a ton of other killer shit) told me they thought it was the best out of anything I had let them sample and they have tried all of my Shanti plants. I have smoked well over 30 of my plants with them and between them and their inlaws they usually have 15 or so types around so a review like that from these cats is as good as it gets in these parts.

I picked the rest of the plant about ten days after the sample they tried and could of let it go a bit longer but I am trying to re-veg this bitch. It really is something special and after the "you don't know what is left in the pack (of seeds), you could be losing The One" speech, I have to do everything to try and keep her around.

Speaking of the old SSH cut , I got her and some nice crosses they made with her (Blueberry, Maple Leaf, etc). I am kicking them all of my Mango Haze males as they want to preserve this line.


Anyways, the Nev's Skunk has been getting rave reviews from everyone who has tried it and an outstanding response from everyone who knows whats up.

Shanti is the mother fuckin man!
 
Went at met some friends at the brewery and to dump a couple CM males on them and we smoked a cigarette size joint between 3 of us of the tops I let go longer. We rode around the country roads and had a blast. This herb gets me high like when I was a teenager smoking hick weed driving around the mountains.

During the initial faze of the high it is confused and a bit lacking in basic motor skills, or maybe it is you forget what you are doing and fumble whatever it is you may be holding.

It is strong and cuts through anything else I may of smoked before it and makes a lot of stuff seem less than stellar when they have to follow the Nev's Skunk.

The stuff that went 10 - 12 days longer is so much stronger it is impressive.

I love this plant! I hope to hell I get it to reveg! I never got cuttings from this due to it struggling so much in veg ..... clone everything!

The people I met today are a couple and her whole family has grown her whole life and her boyfriend does -she has seen a lot of grass. Her pops is the dude I got some of Shanti's work from the early/mid 90's from. Anyways, she told me today (for the 3rd time) this is the best she has had of any of my plants she has tried and in the top 5 she has had in her life. That is huge considering the menu of genetics including DJ's Blueberry, a bunch of the hyped Cali clones, SSH from '95ish, White Rhino from Shanti's GH days, etc. I hooked them up with a 1/4 and you would of thought I gave them each a handjob to go with it.

I can't wait to have my moms worked out so I can concentrate on a good size sample of these.

I hope to find a nice Nev's pheno but I really dig what seems to me like a nice right down the middle hybrid. It fucks you up and you are quite content sitting on your ass but don't expect to be napping with your wheels turning that fast, even if they are just spinning in place.

I only popped 4 of these seeds and had just one female - I fear I may have found "the one" in the pack. I sure do hope it comes back or even better, this is just an average plant for this hybrid.

It may seem silly to make such a fuss after trying only 1 plant but this is that bitch. I have 13 other types including 3 of SSH, 2 La Nina, Blueberry, etc and this is all I am hitting. I may take a hit or 2 of the other strains but on my days off I can't think of anything more perfect. Movies, music, Howard Stern's Mastertape Theater - they are all better. I am content sitting on my ass sleep is the furthest thing on my mind. It doesn't kill motivation but you will look like a fool out in public if you over do it and don't give the initial high time to wear off.

Anyways - I am going to smoke more. Wish ya'll could try some.
 
SOLD...that's great stuff, Ronin...enjoyed the update...jay:D
