Aloha to all.
This is SunWorshiper back for season 3!
Starting off this year indoors getting an early start for outdoor season, well greenhouse season.
Season 3 is very exciting for me as last year I pollinated some buds and a couple days ago I began germination. Its been maybe 15 years since I've grown my own seeds so anticipation is very high rt now.
I am putting my duck project on hold for now and will be focusing on a different project. This new project will focus on a purple plant named after a local kid who is no longer with us.
From what I'm told Colton was a great guy who got busted with a relatively small amount of cannabis. Yet he was treated like a cartel king pin by the local police. He had given up the names of local marijuana
and cocaine dealers but nobody big time. The police wanted their accolades for taking down a huge bust so they kept pressuring him for information. Telling him if he didn't produce more useful information that "they would put him so far away that nobody would ever find him".
He had suicidal tendencies and his parents warned to police about the issue as they feared for his safety. Yet police kept aggressively pushing him for information he didn't have and he wasn't going to throw his friends under the bus. The day before 2 men broke into his house, he pulled his pistol to protect himself but it misfired and he got badly beaten.
Under all this stress the police continued to intensely threaten him. Giving him a deadline to come up with what they needed or to get locked away in prison forever. The next day an hour before the deadline, Colton shot himself. The deadline became just that, death. The police were warned about his mental state but they wanted more than a petty drug bust so they disregarded his safety and basically made life or death threats to a kid on the edge all so they could get a big bust that didn't exist.
Reminds me of when I was caught with 1 gram of weed as a teenager with a bunch of friends. The police took me as the owner of the contraband and let all my other friends go. Except 1 friend who had priors. They "owned" him as they put it. They then took us into a small room with no cameras and took the huge telephone book to our faces and slammed our skulls against the wall. All while asking for drug dealer names and making similar threats about being locked away for life and being raped daily. All over 1 gram of cannabis! I got off easy compared to my friend. Even though it was mine they beat him much worse than me. Probably because they owned him :/ in the end one cop wispered to make up a fake name or the beating would continue. Too bad Colton wasn't so lucky.
So knowing how cops can get carried away turning a molehill into a mountain and getting violent and make life and death threats, daily rape threats... I can relate to Colton and his situation a little. I find it unacceptable they pushed a young adult so hard for information while knowing he was suicidal without having a way to secure his safety.
Colton should be here today but hes not because yes he was unstable but he was also loyal, not to mention the police only cared for a promotion and not Colton's life. The decision between prison and friends was too much for him to decide, so he took his own life.
So I'm starting work this year on a new strain named in honor of Colton. Calling it- Sacrifice of Colton, aka SOC, aka Colton's Sacrifice. It will be an evolving strain for a while geared to be purple and powerful and flavorful as possible. Starting off as Frisian Duck x Querkle. I've popped a few seeds in starter cubes and will be holding onto the seed stash until the laws change where I can pheno hunt 100 at a time. That is rumored to happen this year so maybe next year I can pheno hunt. This year will just be a sneak peak at its potential.
I'm also starting Durban poison and green crack. Along with another cross I made last year which is querkle x critical Bilbo. I may cross that q x cb into Colton's Sacrifice too as CB really won me over last year. If I can find some real GDP I may toy with adding that too down the road as cb turns purple with cold and I'm looking to make a strain that grows purple. Time will tell but for now its FD x Q. The FD grows purple starting at flip and that's what I'm after. Then again my main focus is flavor above all so could end up a green strain years from now. Either way its the journey that matters more than the destination.
Along this journey I'm trying to bring attention to the Sacrifice of Colton and the also the abuse some of us face under law enforcements witch hunts. Praying things change for the better sooner rather than later.
Colton, God bless you bro.
