Last season I crossed a male Trainwreck with a number of different females. This journal documents the cross with Lebanese landrace. I had four females. One I moved out to cross with a 707 Headband male. Here are parents. (Bear with me; this is my first grow journal and I had not planned it out at all.)
The Trainwreck dad is obviously the one in focus in the foreground. One of the three Lebanese ladies is in the background.
I currently have three of this cross growing in and underground grow space with a few Mantis Commercial 315 CMH Fixture running Philips 315 Watt 3100k Bulb on 18-hr daily duty. I reprovisioned a pot that one of my Lebanese from last season was in to put a clone in outside to change its photoperiod and get gender expression going. After watering a bit, five others sprouted from the soil. I generally pull my plants up from the pot and cut the stem by the roots (dropping to the top of the pot) to make it easy to clean up. Apparently, some of the TW x LB seeds fell as the plant shook then. So, I have some additional ones.
Now for the ALEY 1904 name. If you google it, the first two hits currently, completely unrelated to each other, name it. The first refers to a tragic train wreck in Aley, Lebanon on 12 April 1904, an explosion that killed 8 people. The second is about a train wreck at the 1904 World's Fair that killed the Tilghman Howard Aley family of Cedar Vale, Kansas. Don't ask me how I accumulate such ridiculous trivia, but the connections were too good not to use for this strain.
As for the grow, I like to use Fox Farm's Ocean Forest soil. Early fertilizing is with the dry Dr. Earth Tomato & Herb (4-6-3). General fertilizing in vegetative mode is Alaska Fish Fertilizer (5-1-1). Flowering time, I had been using Fox Farm's Tiger Bloom (2-8-4), but am considering others. Have earthworm casings, but probably with not need to augment it ever. Also picked up Terpinator (0-0-4) to see if it can boost the terpene expression as harvest approaches. Various pot sizes are used. I like to bring them out of the 18on/6off underground to outdoor, in pot, growing in partial sun. (There are exceptions. The Highland Thai I did last year was enormous and had to be planted in the ground. It did not finish until late December, amazingly.) Obviously, the five unplanned pregnancies are getting complete normal outdoor photoperiod. Since it is early in the season, I expect them to grow vegetative for quite a stretch. Will add more photos when I have some daylight to take them. The product should be about 90% sativa and I figure THC level might be mid or high teens to low twenties percent. But I will have it tested.
