Clones strain from the medical shop... But i cloned it off the guy that bought the plants...LOL... SO free strain. Gonna have to get some more of them... He still has all the moms going.i think i like that mango green crack too
one of your own crosses or bought????
either way your one lucky dude
i guess your a member
His outdoor ones ended up being big o colas.... Soon well see how 6 different strains do outdoors... Ill be doing as much topping and supercropping as i see fit... But im planning on going Big!

Hey Franco, here's an update on my Mandala strains. The females are kicking some butt. Kalichakra and Safari are both in flower and looking great. The only downside is that 2 of 2 Mandala #1 and 8 mile high came up male so I started a new round. I'll keep you posted. I should be about 6 weeks from Harvest on the Kali and Safari.

Man sucks about the males.... your not gonna keep a male around to get some seeds?... I was thinking of getting into that this time around.
I have 6 8 miles high seedlings so im hoping for at least 3 females.... keep on growin man!

I want to try some breeding too (so at least I always have a stash of seeds) but in the last 3 months out of 14 seeds planted in 5 different strains, only 3 have turned up female. If I saved all that male pollen I would become a sperm bank. Right now I have some Western Winds pollen put away to breed with the Mandala strains.
peace and keep growin at your end too

are you gonna top em, and let some underneath grow a little more? i think you have done that in the past, i just dont remember lol.
your grow is inspirational my friend, i hope to be doing some of the training and cropping like you have done.
i havent been updating much, but i think if my thread got more attention i probably would. so check out my grow, its in my sig.
good growing to you!

Hey Franco,
hows it been going.
as you can see I haven't been on at all in like
the past 3 weeks. Its been all about school, school and more
school. Just had a mid-term and currently working on 3 projects
due in the next two weeks.
How are the grow progressing? I see you guys were talking about
pollinating for seeds? I never really understood how you get pollen
from males...
How does that work?

lol getting the pollen is easy enough its getting the genetics you want thrue back crossing or feminising that gets complicated.
but pollinating is easy
yes you need a male unless your breeding fems via stress or rhodelization
simple pollintions are done by letting a male mature and putting the pollen on a female plant.. after this is done is when you generally start stabilizing and breeding for the traits you wnt. but to do a simple pollination just get a male and a female move them way away from your other fems dont want them getting seed..
another way is to let a male mature and just use a paint brush or a bag and put the polen on a bud (make sure its not gonna touch other parts of itself or other plants.
its not really that hard as i said. except if your refining and stabililizing your cross.
the reason being the plants will all get different characteristics due to the different genetics in each one.. what were doing when we stabilize a breed is cross breeding and back tracking with plants that have the characteristics we want..

What is "rhodelization"
never heard of that before. so when the male pollen sacks are mature
do you just sorta crack them open and get the pollen to put in the bag
or put on the paintbrush?

rhodelozations for breeding fem seeds. ya let them over ripen (the females that is) and get a few male bananas appear.. then pollinate another fem with that pollen and get female seeds
how to pollinate
depends how you go about it. but yes ya got the idea.
just get the pollen ito some sort of container and then apply it to a bud on a female (ya can even just stick the branch in a bag and shake it a little if thats what tickles ya fancy)..
heres a good way to pollinate tho its fdd2blk's method..
Seed production. a tutorial
hope this helps
