Two weeks into flower. First Picture: 3 Ski Trains on the left and 2 Shooting Stars on the right. Not as bushy as I thought they were going to be, but they are growing a couple inches per day. Trainwreck is like the pitbull of strains. No matter what you breed it with, the jaw will always come through. That's a good thing and a bad thing for me since I have 8 foot ceilings, but as you can see in the second picture, this 303 gear is definitely more manageable than TGA's Qrazy Train at this stage of the game.
Lights: 2000W Sodium
Temps: Low 80's with lights on, low 70's with lights off
Humidity: Low 50's
CO2: 1250ppm when the lights are on
Nutes: 8 mL/gallon of General Hydro's flora micro and 16 ml/gallon of General Hydro's flora bloom
Watering Schedule: For every two hours the lights are on, they get a half hour of water.

Yeah, it would look a lot nicer if I still had five plants in it. Both of the Shooting Stars hermed on me.
Not a happy camper.

At what point in bloom did they herm on you O? They looked great at the post a couple days ago. Sorry to hear the bad news...that strain has been run more than any of the others in the collection without issues to this point. Did you get pictures?Yeah, it would look a lot nicer if I still had five plants in it. Both of the Shooting Stars hermed on me.

I just have A few questions where did budpatch acquire the cuts he gave 303 seeds? and what makes them so special? sounds like a few 303 strains may have a herm issue, sounds kinda like the same issue centennial seeds was having.

Thanks for dropping in Ku$hking!
Everything I gifted to 303 was grown from seed sourced from the breeders directly, or from their retailers. Two were my private breeding projects...Aspen OG and Grape Funk. They were special for their unique traits and medical benefits. Something very unique in each that wasn't found in any other market strain we knew of. I never had any intentions of them going big time, I just love to grow, breed and collect seeds. The 303 team was a perfect fit for me.
At least 50 females of each 303 strain were grown out prior to release by a combo of patients, caregivers and a licensed warehouse grow. We didn't use untested landrace sativa genetics like Centennial did. All of our current seed strains are polyhybrids of existing market tested strains. Herms happen, for whatever reason, be it environment, feed schedule, genetics, etc. I've seen posts of herm issues with every established seed company on the market, but we strive like they do to keep our strains easy to grow and herm free in a wide range of environments. We do stress test our moms extensively and select moms from as large a population as possible...grown from seed, unless of course we're working with a select cutting, but even then, the cutting has usually come from verified seed stock of some kind. All of this gear is currently being grown from seed in the medical grow for the center that distributes our seeds, so herms are as bad for us as they are for the home grower and we hate them as much as anyone.
Hope that answers your questions.
Here are a couple shots of our selection facility with some 303 Gear going for the next round of selections.

i can think of several distinctions that seperate Centennial from 303 - for one, they actually give a crap about the gear and patients (we all know Ben at Centennial is all about the $$ only). 2nd, unlike CS, if there were consistent hermie prone issues (like there is for several CS lines - no stresses needed to toss full ballz) I'm pretty sure the genetics would be scrapped and projects restarted. 3rd - have you EVER seen Centennial Seeds' breeder on the forums? it begs to ask why or why not? in the year+ since I ran their gear and complained, i have yet to see/hear from the breeder over there and they continue selling the same bunk genetics all over CO. tells you a LOT about a company. If they are willing to come onto the forums and answer questions, talk to you like a real person, etc..... then they are worlds up on the competition.
