Heh. There I go spouting bs like it's fact again... fekkin noob.

I really should have kept Gran as a mother. Using low power veg lighting. Cutting clones as needed.

But, if I can get something close to last good run, from either of those beans. I'll be stoked.

Nah you may end up with a very similar plant or maybe one that shares certain traits but you will never get an exact replica.

With the space ya working in only able to do 1 or 2 short plants id say go fems mate its still not a 100% guarantee but atleast 1 outa 2 should be ok.. If ya had another chamber id keep one as a mom an flower as ya see fit saves time popin from seed and you know whats comin from it..

You ever had a fem seed turn out to be a male ? I've heard of it but never seen it,seen them full on herm but never a true male.

 

[jzs147]

That's some pretty wild numbers

I know that’s why I freaked out rang the supplier though an they assure me that’s correct

 

[OldMateToldMeTo]

I've still got my old autocob and possibly a box to mount it in.

Food for thought man... You will also find it easier keeping them shorter from clone (topping sooner than seed) if mom is kept short ive found anyways...

Honestly i havnt had a full male from fem ive had some weird fuckin herms tho.. 1 Cali Connect's Deadhead (good smoke btw) threw some savage balls but they were sterile i cliped em cloned it out over a year and nuts never came back after 2nd gen of clones... Im a firm believer in reg seeds but i appreciate havin fems available...

All I use is fems never had a male. Hate males

Lol i must be the only bloke who likes a good strong male.. A good one can change ya mind pretty quick especially when we start to really struggle getting seeds into oz

No way I'd use it at those numbers

 

[jzs147]

My clones are like 3rd week using it and are at 1.6 ec an no sign of nute burn

Swerve was notorious for having herm gear ,had some fire too.
I was a skeptic about fem's at first but I've only had good experiences with them,it all comes back to the breeder i reckon whether fem or reg's.

Did you ask them why they need to have such a high E.C ?

True true... Ive left Cali alone since just hear to much shit... There's fire there no doubt but id rather run something thats tested and proven and Bodhi is hard to beat in that regard the guy sure knows how to find them solid breeders...

Got any pics indoor or outdoor u growing.

I didn’t know how it worked an I was using full strength grow plus there klymax and amino k.

The shit runs ec like 2.4 an only 5.0 ph I didn’t know that was how the stuff ment to be used.

Yeah right. Probably an overload right there. Was it bringing your ph down to 5.0!? Or is that run off? Cos whenever I’ve fed them ph 6.0 and tested runoff it’s been like 5.2. Not really sure how or why that is but they’ve always been happy so I never really questioned it.
I’d go again with the half strengths and bump up .05 or maybe even to 3ml towards end of veg. I started half strength bloom too and bumped up to 3ml couple weeks into it. But if you’re going to add amino k etc, id go back to the half strengths even of the additives.
But tbh I don’t really know a whole bunch about what I’m doing LOL, I just know what’s worked for me and honestly less is best. My endeavour was to keep it simple and see how’d id go and like I said I’m stoked.
Ps. They’re outdoor in coco plus.

Here’s a pic in veg


And here’s some flowers from a couple of days ago and I’ll go snap some of the whole plants in a sec for you.

Yeah he had some good ones,Karma used a Cali Connection male from their SFV BX to make a lot of his earlier stuff.
Bodhi has a pretty different selection criteria to most he is a lot more freestyle for lack of a better term lol,he's also is a real collector of strains and has a heap of stuff from the old seedbay days.

Yeah i was pissed when he stopped getting on some of the forums due to fuckwits and "master breeders"... His one of the few guys id like to see clogging my feeds up lol..

Yeah I have a gorilla bomb x gth1 male from a fem seed. I'm not using the pollen because I have no idea what it will throw. Its pure male.

Yeah nice looks insane.

Nah you may end up with a very similar plant or maybe one that shares certain traits but you will never get an exact replica.

Would be good if it were very close.

Might have to hit a lower branch on one with colloidal silver just for the sake of seeds.

That's not to say I won't try to keep a mother. But, I like seeds for the simple fact- it's easier to store them. Than a living plant.

Fuck knows to tell you the truth didn’t ask
