What am I working on?

So, I figured I would give all my followers an option on my website to comment and chat about what they like/need. I also would like to dedicate this section to what's is going to be coming out in the future, as well as what I am just growing at the moment.
So I have to let everybody know, I have a killer guava unicorn I hunted out that pushes heavy mother traits, very purple good stacking capabilities, a very unique terpene profile. (Skunks, fruit, just down right stinky.) This mother is being re-vegetated so I can cut clones. While the mother monster crops, and the clones take root. I will eventually have all of the other plants in my breeding tent moved into the "flower" tent. Which will be switched over to veg while I train the Sour Grapes and continue testing the females. I have my male selected, He smells like the keeper I failed to keep alive after harvest. I am hoping that I will find another, the variation is low which is great. I have found a few leaf mutations and within the 30 that were popped only a hand full have the "double serration" Everybody has tight center nodal structure, some have close inter branches, some have stretchy inter branches. I monitor and take notes daily. Stress testing is going well. Major temp and humidity swings. Root zone temp swings. Heavy defoliation, Drought spells, Neglect. They're holding out well. The chosen male has basically done everything and been unobstructed. I have a few females that have shown signs of stress and some that have not. The ones that show stress I know are more mother plant leaning. (Grape Stank) This phenotype variation is leaning in a positive direction. (Citronella phenotype) I have to have some more people try it who suffer from anxiety and see what they think as well, but so far I have had the same response from almost everybody. It helps. That is what I like to hear. Share some thoughts below!
Thanks for reading

UPDATE: While I am waiting for the shoots to grow out tall enough to clone I have multiple phenotypes of the sour grapes and a keeper male, I am sorting through the females to find the one I would like to clone and create f.2. genetics. As well as doing a s1 line on the same mother phenotype. This will ensure a new genetic line that is very stable and consistent. The biggest issue on the market today is everything is a poly hybrid of gelato, where they cross like genetic pools together. True breeding is crossing two separate genetic lines to create true f1 hybrids.

While I am waiting for the flowering cycle to finish so I can move everybody over to the big tent. I am waiting for the blackberry dream to show what sex it is. (was male. got culled.) While I start doing low and high stress training on the sour grapes pheno hunt. (Down to 1 male) I have one pheno that has horrible stalk vigor I am gonna let it go to see how the final flower compares to the loss of strength..) Most of the time that will be a cancel factor for me. I would like to see how much total variety there is. I have multiple phenotypes that have a double serration, male does as well and smells like the keeper I found last cycle. So that will be the breeding male, I hope to find a "twin" we will see.
While the last grape stank has about 3 weeks left on her. I am anxiously waiting and anticipating the plants taking over the 2x4 and I will have an absolute nightmare to deal with when I go to move the plants over as far as defoliation goes. I try to keep everything well manicured every week. During flower I'll do sections at a time. Top to bottom. Before flipping the lights over to 12/12 I make sure everything under 2.5 feet below the top of the canopy gets removed/Thinned out incase I'm going to re-veg something.
Update: Clones of the K.G.U. have been cut, now we wait for rooting. The last plant in flowering is hanging. Tent got cleaned and everything besides the guava has been moved. They are both on a veg cycle as of now. I just will have to order some s.t.s. Prepare the clones for a month or so. and I will be ready to start reversals.
The sour grapes male and female have been chosen. After this s.1. project is over. I will be able to do f2 genetics on the Sour Grapes. I could possibly create an s1 with them as well if I chose to do such. But I'm more in the process of moving forward while pulling specifics from lineage to create things people have rarely smelled, smoked, or experienced. So on that note, I will continue on this venture and come back with an update once the clones are rooted.
UPDATE: Rooting has taken place, on at least 2 of the clones. Perfect timing as the sour grapes are starting to get a tad too big to be all crowded inside the 2x4.
I'll be transplanting these clones into 1 gallon pots and I have to get some S.T.S. materials to make up some spray for reversals.
UPDATE: Clones have rooted, have out selected reversal transplanted and waiting for her to take off! Thinking I might hit the Grape Stank with some Fem pollen as well. I have not decided yet. Within a few weeks I will be flipping the girls to flower and getting the heavy lifting work out of the way! Once reversal has started (first 2 weeks) I will put the mother in the tent to get pollinated so I have optimal pollination of every pistil available! Once this is complete it is a 6 to 7 week waiting game while I let seeds mature to full cusp.
The chosen Sour Grapes for the S1 has been chosen and need to get bigger, then clones will be taken for reversal and that can begin as well. While all this is going on I'm searching for the next project I want to work on and create. Looking into genetic lines and history is a key factor in what I work with. I might be entertaining some land race genetics and hunting large quantities of those to search for something exceptionally special. I have a few newer crosses in mind but with a new idea comes lots of work!
UPDATE: While the clones continue to grow and thrive. I have sourced some new genetics from Hawaii! I'm excited to run some and create some seed stock. 2 new lines are Black Skunk and Pakistani Lime. While those are going to be made later on at a later date. The Killer guava clones are taking off, I am patiently awaiting for them to get large enough to reverse and have s1 seeds made! As those get along, I'll start on cloning the chosen sour grapes. As the guavas are being reversed while the clones of the grapes are rooted.
In time things will be released. I like to make sure everything is ironed out before releasing genetics to the public, I'm sorry but I want to make sure nothing is going to disappoint! Unlike most companies I care about my customers like they are my family. Knowing somebody may be growing these for life saving medicine encourages me even more to be very meticulous with what I am doing! There is only single plant crosses done. 1 mother. 1 father.
