"The pHenohunter Community Preservation Project"

I've finished 2 of Skunky's Skunk#1s, a couple Ancestral Skunks, and a couple Ballroom Funks (GMO x (Ghost OG x Skunk#1)) recently.
They all came out predominantly citrusy, but there were slight nuances...
The Skunk#1s were a really interesting mix of grapefruit and onions, and probably most likely to head toward funkytown.
The Ancestrals were all citrusy. More lemony than grapefruit.
The Ballroom Funks were 2 citrusy, but 1 leaned more Ghost, and had a real nice OG smell....but also the stretchy golfball structure.
Now that I think of it, the BFs might be the first GMO cross I've run that hasn't been GMO dominant. You could probably make the connection with the OG leaning one though.

On the preservation note: I'm just starting 10 Colombian Blacks aka Llanera for the vault.
I'm also starting 4 of the Afghaan 90 x Black Afghans, and after reading a bit more about them here, I'm even more excited about them!
Rounding out the latest group are 4 Gwniver (Blueberry x Tashkurgan Afghani) by Jim Dandy, which should be fun too, based on his reports of Tashkurgan, and the potential of Blueberry.
The whole group seem to be vigorous so far, judging by soak n cracking, anyway. Most aren't in soil yet, but will be soon.
Thanks again Deebs!

I'm hoping to have these all around the same age for possible crosses along with the Colombian preservation run.
The CBs will be fully seeded w CB pollen, save for selected lower buds, which might get a little A90 and Gwniver pollen.
A90 and Gwniver girls would also get selected CB pollen as well.
I don't have any NL x Haze crosses on deck, so these are my closest chance at dabbling in a similar gene pool lol

Good going, I'm glad to have another member, preserving! We are going to have such a preservation bean stash, that there may be a storage system in our future.
A special thanks goes out to @Deebs, for his efforts behind the scenes, to accumulate, catalogue, store, distribute strains for us to preserve and, of course, collecting all the beans that are preserved, and handling them as well(y).

I'll be keeping an eye on this; CB sounds quite interesting!
 
Yeah, it's awesome that we even get the chance, and I'm so glad there's been as much success as there already has!
The CBs are really intriguing to me as well, and I hope there's a bunch of beans for those brave enough for the potential flower time.
One of the reasons I wanted to check it out was for an old neighbor, an Ol Navy guy, who said CB was the best he could remember.
If it turns out nice, I'd like to get him a few beans....after a comparative sample, if he thinks it's anything close.
I'm also stoked more each day about the possibilities of the Afghan crosses, and wouldn't have them without the preservation efforts.

I haven't started a journal for the CBs yet, but the tentative count is 7/10, cautiously speaking.
The 1 from the first batch that folded over on itself is still alive, and facing light, but it's middle stem is about 1/32" thick.
1 of the second batch didn't break ground, and was the least out of it's shell when planted.
1 of the second batch seems to have dampened off like the one from the first batch, but is taking it much harder, much quicker, and with less apparent reason.
It's closer to more light, and had less wind. Dunno...
So, there's technically 9 alive, but 7 without any issue.
Only 6 months or so left to go lol
