12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

[Hot Diggity Sog]

lookin good,, which strain is best producer?? earliest finish strain? most frosted?

They were supposed to finish at around the same time. From the 1st chapter, each of these 2 strains were very frosty, finished around 60 days. The Chronic Thunder was the best producer. This chapter though the Skunk #1's are far superior. The close proximity combined with the shared root space has proven to have lots of negative consequences. They just have not thrived like before.

Oh well...drastically different technique on the horizon once these finish.

Yea with that many plants trying to thrive in a small space would be hard for them to really come out like you wanted them. This just shows how strong cannabis is as I'm sure all those roots are just tangled galore and yet they are still putting out very good. I know your lil disappointed but you still should have some nice smoke. Looking forward to the next run

Thanks, me too. It took a little effort to get the seeds ordered from attitude. It involved 2 fraud alert calls from my bank, and both debit cards getting locks placed on them...lol
I was able to get all of them ordered over the span of 3 orders tho so its all good. Looking like June 1 is the probable go date.

I hate to be always asking you for favors, but can you please document your experience with the spray? Like logging the date(s) that you spray and stuff? I'm really excited to see how this plays out for you.

Yes ill be keeping a log in a note pad but also trying to document as much as i can online to help people out did my first post and will keep it up till the end of harvested seeds

I have two plants that will be seed slaves and one for making pollen only flowering under a 250 HPS but should do the job

I have another topic that I'm hoping you guys can give me your suggestions on.

In my small scale V1 octagon, I placed seedlings that were germinated in 1.5" rockwool cubes inside of 2 inch net pots, directly into the 4 PVC pipe and just top watered as necessary. What I was wanting to learn was whether or not the tap root would be able to make the 2 inch journey down to the flowing water. What I found was that only 1 of the 7 plants did so. It took 11 days for that plants root to reach the water and 10 days later his roots were 18 inches long. The other 6 plants never reached the water. The roots were seemingly being air pruned.

So for the big run coming up, it's vital that I don't put the net pots into the PVC pipe until I have roots that will hit the water. This is the best idea I have so far:


I just ordered Rapid Rooters but I also have 1.5" rockwool. My idea is to fill the net pots with either of those 2, place a dome on top and then place 6.0 water in the tray just high enough so that the netpots will be sitting like 1/4" above the water line. Probably put a small air stone in each tray to agitate the water. What do you think?

I'm getting subbed for that CS grow .
Edit : HDS I don't know how you got quoted too lol

Yea I'll be watching Nerds fem seed making journey. @DirtyNerd will you just be collecting pollen? Are you gonna flower the sprayed plant first collect pollen and then pollinate the girls? That's what I would do

That sounds like a good idea bro. You can hand water them till the roots get long enough. They won't take much to get abundant long as they don't dry out and stay moist you should have nice roots and a couple weeks. Since you've done the experiment you know to not put them in there till roots are long enough so whatever you come up with will be good just don't make it to complicated.

Sounds like a good plan air stone would also help or you will just need to change out the water every couple of days or what I do when starting clones/seedlings is have the base of the tray covered in perlite it's great as the roots just grow In to it and also makes for easy transplant once the roots are at the size you need the perlite is good becuase it holds the water well works well for me but each to there own

Hey bro I am going to collect pollen but at the same time I am just going to leave them in the same tent with the he she so she can spread her pollen with the fans blowing on her the tent is isolated from the others and I'll make sure once Iv been playing around in there I won't go in the other area till changed and washed once I have collect pollen and the other girls are growing seeds I'll kill off the he/she

I am really interested to see how this works and to see what the seeds turn out like ever if most are shit I am sure in the 100+ seeds there will be a couple of keepers

It's just going to be a super skunk x super skunk and super skunk x blue dream but once I have the pollen I can cross her with overs and try make some more lady boys with other stains If this is successful I'll be posting as much info as I can as the info I have found has been a little shit

 

[Hot Diggity Sog]

Oh man...the tray with perlite sounds perfect.

 

[Hot Diggity Sog]

Ill just keep a big ass tray of perlite moist and push the net pots half way in...ez!

Glad I could help my random stoner brain sometimes think of good things ..... Sometimes ....

i ran both sensi skunk #1 and seedsmans original skunk#1.. sensi finished a week sooner with way more crystals, but the seedsman is supposedly a stabilized hybrid, it yielded more...over all i liked sensi's way better..had very bad luck with sensi's super skunk though, it was ditch weed garbage,,not what i paid for...

 

[Hot Diggity Sog]

In my 1st chapter, I had 2 Skunk #1's and was pretty impressed. They came in around average for the yield but scored very highly on quality. The general appearance in Chapter 2 has been pretty consistent...height does not have a ton of variance. Bud formation and crystals seems pretty consistent. I decided against Skunk #1 for the 3rd round but I will definitely be coming back to them.

 

[Hot Diggity Sog]

Just went down and watered with 14 gallons. I'm seeing dramatic swelling going on which puts a smile on my face. I did not take any pictures as I took the MH out and put the HPS back in. I'm doing a lot of flip flopping of bulbs.

All 3 of my attitude orders have officially shipped. Woohoo! V3 octagon is going well. Making some final decisions on vertical spacing as well as row transition.

They better had hooked you up fareal. If they don't I would never fuck with them again. They should love you for life and give you stuff all the time cus nobody makes orders like that
