thanks very much bro, im especially watching the raspberry kush cross cos its mum showed no sign of purp until its first calyx...then full steam ahead with colour, am wondering how many offspring will have that trait?...keeps a kid off the streets man lol

Should be at least 25% of the progeny will be heterozygous for that trait. 25% will be heterozygous for no colour (if the dad had no colour) and 50% of the progeny will be a mix! I'm excited for you bro, I always get excited when testing my own creations!! Definitely keeps us off the streets bro!!

thanks for the info....yes im very happy to see some growing well but definitely saddened to see those DGOG crosses being slow, they were my fav plants out of everything this past season, i try to aim for the faster finishers...who knows as they grow they may get their second wind & power on, just hope they are nearly as good as their mums when they finish!

No worries bro, any time!!
The DGOG may just be slow to get off the mark, I've had that before and the plants ended up the biggest in the garden lol! I'm sure they'll come good bro!!

thanks man, been 15yrs havnt been able to grow in pots with a very bad root rot disease entrenched in the area just slaughtered pretty much everything, discovered last year mycorrhizal/trichodermal treatment which holds disease at bay so now...going a bit silly & planting like a fool being free of that horrid disease in celebration, read a farm nearby had same type of disease had to be/still is total quarantined for a solid 30yrs by the agri dept.

my lady's love great white. Do you make teas ?

ive used the great white & its good gear, but the sheer volume i need i have to buy it in bulk from a wholesaler from a different brand, estimate cost this year will be about same as last year at $3000+...fuckin hate this disease man! i mix the powder with water & just water it into the pots...if i miss a few treatments ol lady pox makes a return & wipes out those plants, for some reason standard potting mix is the pox's favorite medium, & impossible to grow anything in it, but compost mixed with coco(which am using now) has a good success rate?

thanks bro, if i just continue using the mycorr treatments every watering they go well, its when i run out of it or skip treatments is when things go bad, was on the news in the last few weeks about a rare forms of pythium which have the chief agri scientists baffled and cannot treat here in oz and their main answer is just solid quarantine of affected farms for decades, my disease syndrome is treatable with mycorr but man its virulent

try some molasses on a couple plants the bennies use it as a food source. Plus when you air rate the teas it multiplies by ten times. Try it might save you cash and help with disease. Good luck buddy.

Shit, that doesn't sound good at all!!
I reckon @v.s one is on the money too, have you got a worm farm? I reckon compost teas with molasses would work well to actually get rid of the bugs...you'd be surprised how much they help plants against attacks!!

im thinking the same as you man about the molasses & compost teas too, ive been meaning to get a worm farm happening for yrs but never got around to it...gotta do it & buy 1 next time im near the city!

There is one in my town where it is cheap. They do work wonders against pest especially if you spray the plants. Once every couple weeks.

time now for some like these to be changed from 20/4 hrs to 12/12, in a separate area types like the DGOG crosses will still receive 20/4 since growth is slower than pictured performers, hopefully in about 1 week they too will be ready to force flowering

I think you b.s about the pests. Those look magnificent. So when you cover them do they dry out more or is it cooler shaded?

lol bro im double dosing them with mycorr powder with every watering, those you see are growing in an compost/coco/perlite mix which is excellent, others not seen are growing in a red(clay) soil/compost/perlite mix(which i wont use again) & 4 have been pulled cos of disease sign these last 2days, if i skip a few treatments of the mycorr those healthy types you see will be ruined very quickly bro, i cover them when its near dark while its cooler then, i run LED lights outside to extend the hours to 2am, but i still must cover those LED's so the neighbors do not see the lights too, for the 12/12 covers go on at 6.30pm & off at 6.30am, for the 20/4 lights go on just before darkness with cover put on to, lights turn off at 2am, then at 6am im up getting the cover off the frame so sunlight reaches them, im up at 4.30am-5.30am every morning anyway so its no prob
