DemonicChronics All Organic indoor perpetual breeding projects

What's up everybody, this is my little indoor breeding op.

Been growing about 5 years, currently running the F1's of a couple local cuts (unknown lineage) X heavy duty fruity (TH Seeds).

The mothers in this cross were clones gifted from a long time local grower, unfortunately they developed a nasty mite infestation and most were lost. Out of the original 6 different cuts labeled A1-A6, 10 of each, only the A3 and A5 survived and showed a strong resilience to the mites.

After taking care of the infestation, multiple crops of A3 and A5 were run.

A3 was more potent, and better smelling / tasting but was low yielding
A5 was a heavy yielder and a pleasant smoke but had an odd funky smell and taste

Around the same time I was gifted 2 Regular Heavy Duty Fruity seeds from a friend, they were freebies. Both turned out to be male so I allowed them to pollinate a room full of A3's and A5's in order to pass on their genes.

I know this is far from the ideal way to go about things and far from a controlled F1 cross. But by using pollen from 2 males with 2 different mothers and then accidentally mixing all the seeds, I was able to create an insanely diverse epic fuck ton of phenotype combinations because there are really 4 crosses going on.

A3 x HDF1, A3 x HDF2, A5 x HDF1, A5 x HDF2.

FUCK IT. RUN EM ALL.

With that many combinations there's bound to be a couple keepers.

Stay Tuned

I've sexed about half of them and started to flower about 20 females. All the clones in veg are confirmed females.
So far I've come across a few stand out phenos.

1 - sativa leaved, stretchy, hazy smelling
2 - bushy, indica dominant,golf ball size buds, early and massive resin production, citrusy smell
3 - Huge buds, skunky fruity smell, good resin production
4 - Medium sized buds, fruity berry smell (reminds me of the original A3 but with way bigger buds)

There are many more but most are variations of these characteristics.

The first harvest is in 2-3 weeks.

This is the description of TH Seeds Heavy Duty Fruity from their website.

One word ‘Monstrous’ describes this plant best. A huge producer with giant cola’s that will make any ‘bud waver’ happy. Absolutely the best indoor producer we have seen yet. Ideal for plantlet method 20-30 p.s.m. But beware, we don’t call it Heavy Duty Fruity™ for nothing, this plant smells strong. So air cleaners or ozone generators are suggested. H.D.F. merges big production with quality and strength. Who says commercial yielding plants have to be low in quality?

Type Sativa/Indica
Height 120-160 cm
Yield 400-600 p.s.m.
Flowering Time 60-65 days

Everything is run in super soil, early clones are transplanted to a 50/50 mix of fox farm ocean forest with well rinsed coco coir and extra perlite. Veg room is about 4 x 4 with a single 400w MH and small ac unit to regulate the temperature. Temperature stays between 73 - 76 degrees F with about 50% relative humidity. All seedlings, clones, and mothers are kept in this room. All plants from seed are vegged a minimum of 45 days to ensure good sized plants and sexual maturity.

Clones are taken weekly before plants are transplanted and moved into flowering. Rockwool cubes and 2 26w CFL's give me rooted clones in 7-10 days. The trick is the heating mat and distiller water.

All soil is recycled in large 50 gallon garbage cans and is reused every time I make a new batch of soil, all rootballs are naturally composted by the microbial life in the soil with the help of some high N guano or blood meal.

Flower room is about 8 x 10 with 3 1000w HPS's and a 10,000 btu stand alone AC / Dehumidifier unit. The AC / dehumidifier provides me with between 2-4 gallons of distilled water per day which is used to water all plants.

Once a week the soil is fertilized.
For veg I use
1/2 - 1 fl oz / gal. Age Old Organics Grow
1/2 - 1 fl oz/ gal. Age Old Organics Kelp
1/2 - 1 fl oz / gal. Fox Farm Big Bloom


For flowering I use for weeks 1-6
2 - 4 fl oz / gal. Age Old Organics Bloom
2 - 4 fl oz / gal. Age Old Organics Kelp
2 - 4 fl oz / gal. Fox Farm Big Bloom


Last 2 weeks of flowering all plants are flushed with ONLY distiller water as all the remaining nutrients in the soil and plants are used up.

This little oddball will be going into flower as soon as I get some rooted clones off her. She had 3 leaves at every node early on and now has 3 branches at each node. I let her go untopped for the first month waiting to see if it would revert to a normal opposite branching pattern or switch to an alternating pattern like another similar plant did. Finally I topped her last week and she's finally starting to branch enough to get some cuttings. One thing that I noticed is that on the lateral branches the nodes are normal, no triples just regular opposites. I was hoping the trait would show in the clones but its not looking like it will.

Sweet operation man. When will you be doing the next round of crosses? Think you will use 2 males and 2 females again or are you going to start trying to target in on and then stabiles a phenotype?

I've already got my eyes on a couple phenos that I'd like to continue, my only problem is lack of space to grow out the males, and of course finding the right male. For right now I'm just concentrating on finding the 3 or 4 best smelling, tasting, yielding, and most potent phenos, eventually I plan on getting some TGA gear for future crosses.

hell yea i love high density grows. utilize the fuck outta that space!!!

How do you like those Age Old nutes?? I use their Root Rally, water soluble Myco and liquid kelp. Love the stuff.

So far Im very pleased with the age old products, when I started out I was using advanced nutrients and lets just say that they're a lot more expensive and to be honest my plants look healthier and are growing better than they ever have.
