Hi Steemians!  Hope all is well.  So happy to get back in the groove of things posting my grow room updates.  I was playing politics and trying my best to do exclusive posts here, and to Smoke.  Well honestly that did not work so well, in fact Steem get's a lot of hate from a few people over there.  Kind of sad since if it was not for Steem, Smoke would probably not be here.  But I will not let a bad apple ruin something for me or ruin the growth of Canna-Curate, and I will focus on Canna, since I do not owe nothing to either platform.  So for now on my veg room and flower room updates will be posted to both sites, of course I will modify each post to fit which platform it is being posted to.  A direct copy and paste is just plain lazy. Now I have really decided to do this, cause it was hurting my grow journal.  I got sidetracked, and really neglected my grow room updates. It's nice to get more eyes on my grow, cause maybe I will inspire someone to grow, maybe I can learn, or maybe someone else can learn.  So no longer will I limit myself over politics.  Now do not get me wrong, I have many content that will be only for Steem and content only for Smoke.  For instance I will be "forking" my Steem Og, to create Smoke.og.  Very excited about that [project](https://smoke.io/grow/@jonyoudyer/smoke-og-update-9), which I hope my fellow Steemians will take the time and go check it out.

Last flower room update I discussed my Peanut Butter Breath.  Today I want to discus two other strains started from seed in search of a male for the Smoke.og project. 

# Strains
* Astro Beaver
* Dj Short Blueberry

Astro Beaver is a strain I got from my Canna-Curate partner, @bluntsmasha.  He talks so highly of this strain, and now I can see why.  For one this plant is very easy to clone.  I had 5 good cuttings from it just after 35 days of growth from seed!  Second the smell coming from it smells like watermelon!  Yes, WATERMELON!!  Very interesting indeed.  In fact I got a male from this seed, and it will be used to fork the Steem Og.

I am really happy with the FIM job I did with this plant.  It's getting a bit of a deficiency, which is really no big deal, but I will hit it with some fertilizer as soon as I get my ass to the grow shop to pick up a good bottle.

So you see those white pistols?  They are so ready to be pollinated. I am going to attempt to create the F2 of this strain with the Astro Beaver stud I have.  This strain needs to be put in the hand of more growers, and I will do my part to make that happen. Thanks again Blunt!

# Ok time for Dj Short to take over the turntables!

I have many great things about Dj Short Blueberry, but I have to be honest.  Out of the 4 from seed, none are very special.  Of course the real judging will be when the buds show, but as of now nothing has stood out to make me excited.

This is the only Dj female I got from the 4 seeds.  I ended up getting 2 males, and 1 hermie. This female has been in flower for about 10 days now.

The leaves are different then all strains I have grown. The smell that you get when you rub your fingers on the stem is quite pleasant.  I have not took any cuttings.  I fell since I have Dj Short pollen, from two different phenos, I will be fine with not keeping this strain around.  Another factor why I did not take any cuttings, is because I am going to get a clone from [Dark Heart Nursery](https://darkheartnursery.com/). Making sees are fun, but having an elite cutting is even better. Besides, I can eventually cross the cutting I do get in the future.  So yeah that's all for now, not much will be going on besides some veg room updates, and seeing the flowers of these strains progress, so stay tuned, and stay positive!
