I think you are thinking of backcrossing (<-link). But that doesn't have anything to do with cloning/taking cuttings really. Plant sex is required to backcross.

Hey I'm all for going over-board with the filter and exhaust. Pretty much everyone ends up upgrading their lighting or space at some point so at least you won't have to upgrade the exhaust system again... And in the mean-time you can use a speed controller to save on electricity and lower the...

They look excellent! Very compact bushes you have there. I want to see them flower out - planning on doing a journal?

Oh I'm not going to sweat it if the tent girls get a little bit seeded. Just don't like relying on one piece of cheap equipment to keep them from being ruined. In any case, I want/need the seeds in case I can get moved this summer - don't want to try going cross-country with clones. lol

How did you fit 5 plants in that space by the way? I have a 2x4x6' tent and even with just 3 weeks of veg, one plant would fill it up after the flowering stretch. 2 is pushing it for me... Are you going from clones or seed?

Usually takes a full two weeks or so after starting 12/12 before you'll start seeing mature pistils... then it takes a couple of more weeks before they really get going with a lot of pistils. Small or young plants can take even longer to flower after switching to 12/12 if they still need to...

Just my opinion but don't sweat it so much - just readjust the timer. Nothing bad will happen. :weed:

The girls in the cab just started showing their first pistils so I won't really have to store any pollen for any length of time. I've got a glass dome for him for when he is close to done. But all I'm going to do once he starts really dropping pollen is bag him up in a zip-lock bag, cut him...

Can't really beat an inline fan - esp. with a speed controller. Are going to be using a carbon filter?

Those temps sound pretty good.

I'm just doing it as a side-hobby to growing but I've been reading up on genetics and breeding for awhile and want to get a bit more serious about it. It's been fun just crossing good plants for seeds but what I'd really like to do is breed towards my ideal of a perfect strain. It really doesn't...

Not sure what the textbook answer would be as far as ideal temp... But I don't think 83 is too bad in the real world. It's hard to do better than 10 degrees above room/intake air temperature. This is what I deal with in the tent if it helps: It's usually around 70-75 in the room with the...

Going to grow some out, pick the best couple (1 SWxAt and 1 SWxMD), keep them around as clones, and then cross the offspring plants (SWxAt X SWxMD) back with my favorite of the two clones and see if I end up with something stable that I like. I should have plenty of SWxAthena and SWxMD seeds for...

Thank you Jesus!

Sounds all good bro - keep it up. I love the seeing the growth spurts too, esp. after giving them a fresh reservoir. It's rewarding to see. A stable pH is excellent, it usually means you are in or close to the sweet-spot as far the plant feeding/drinking at the same rate (this is ideal). A...

How is your DWC plant today? Any issues with the big bucket?

The setup looks good man! Of course I'll help anytime and you aren't bugging me in the least. Not sure if I was having connection problems or what but it seemed like you dropped out on YM or my messages weren't going through... or something funky was going on. We'll try xboxlive next time.

Got a 4-pack of real German hefeweisen beer today! And two bottles later my head is spinning. Been over a year since I last had a beer or any alcohol and it's hitting me hard. lol It's not a bad buzz at all, but damn I feel slow in the head. Much prefer cannabis!

Nope! I don't have anywhere near the easy access of strains you guys have access to out there on the west coast (with trading clones and what-not). But I do love me some kush.
