FPOG x Cherry Sumshine 2 days into flower.
My apologies for taking so long Broski,but you know the deal.
All good bromigo, she looks happy. Is the tomato cage a new addition to the setup? I can't guarantee it, but I think my plants will grow without the cages. They weren't specifically bred for cages, but if you think they'll be more at home with one...:lol:. J/K, I'm amusing myself with the idea that I everyone grows Schwaggy Seeds with the cage since the tomato cages are in just about every plant photo I post. :bigjoint:

You've got a lot going on with testing and such :weed:. Has the split veg lighting been situated?

Skunky VA #8 (Chem'91skva x Skunky Brewster)
This is my selection for the F2 pollination. She is a serious beast expressing all of my hopes from the Skunky Brewster. The bud development this early is in stark contrast to the Chem'91's slow beginnings to really start packing on weight. The frost and stem strength have been increased as well. The Chem smell is here with added hash nuance.

Skunky VA #14 - Honorable mention (will also be pollinated for F2)
She has a very sturdy and open structure. The Chem'91 branching is present with narrower leaf blades, increased development speed (not as much as #8, but more than the '91 at this point in flower), and the tall stretch of the '91. She is a nice pheno, but it is hard to ignore the bud/trichome development of the #8.

Skunky D #6 (Chem D x Skunky Brewster)
I have been surprised by this cross. Many of these phenos can be described as more compact Chem D plants. They look like 2/3 scale Chem D's with the structure and more importantly, the smell profile. This plant smells dead on Chem D with a touch of hash-fuel. I had to double take the tag when I was smelling her. If the flower time proves to be quicker, I don't think the Skunky D will need as much line work as the Skunky VA.

She's happy considering she was in a solo for 2 months.
The tomato cage is there to try to keep her somewhat confined to her area.She went straight into the big tent. I'm thinking I'll be able to tie the mains to the circle opening her up while keeping her somewhat manageable with super topping.Lol at least that's how I saw it in my mind.How much stretch would you say I can anticipate?
Rooms full of Schwaggy Seed Armys in unneeded tomatoe cages around the globe.:blsmoke:"They don't need them!!!" "Yea,but my OCD say they look neat."
However,I did pilfer the tomatoe cage idea from you for my small plant F&D runs.Thank you.
This gal is in the big tent,I have a scrog net running at the top of the tent to hang to yo's off for limb support and spacing if needed as well.Should've done this years ago.Tho I'm no stranger to the cages, I have the bigger tomatoe cages on deck,they won't be needed this round unless she asked for it.

Yes,my testing cup hath runneth over.Lol seemed all the beans came within a week of each other AFTER I popped a bunch a beans. As a man of my word or I make every effort to be,some things got pushed back and others bumped up to the front. My testing obligations have finally whittled down(Sans 3 more strains).Then I get to dig in and pheno hunt threw a few cat's packs8-)

See,my perpetual garden got thrown off track by a few things.....running a new system(F&D),new genetics taking over more space than allotted for in flower,new tent logistics (the switch over kinda put a dent in things) life,kids and custody court.In which I won by the way.So life has settled somewhat and is great now.

Haven't decided on the veg lighting yet,still running my blurples which is cool because I can dim them and slow veg down whilst I catch up.Well, I've decided I just haven't pulled the trigger.Getting the new tent allows me to run 1 more F&D tote in the itty bitty tent to flower in also.I may have to go back to coco for veg.Even with low light my soiless hempy solos veg too fast for the flower tents. I'll tackle it tho,I shall not be defeated.
I have been mulling it over since we've spoken and it just doesn't make any sense to not go in the same direction as you did. You know I'm going to ask you what you used to mount the one one the bottom.Eyebolts?
Admittedly,I do love to DIY and wanted to do a strip build next heh, or any build but I'll save my diy projects for flower tent.

I won't apologize for the long post.I missed ya! One of the few threads I look forward to seeing if I get an alert to. Peace Bromeister.

Veeddy nice Bronado. I know this wasn't a target or goal,but which cross in the f2'swould you suspect to be the "quick" finishing <10 weeks,sativa high?
How long did you take the Skunk VAs and Skunky D?
The "okay" = your work will be available to the public in the future finally!!! :clap: :hump:

Congrats, I'm sure the garden is a welcomed escape from the less than awesome parts of life.

Even with low light my soiless hempy solos veg too fast for the flower tents. I'll tackle it tho,I shall not be defeated.

Yep, keeping the veg space in soil definitely keeps the overgrowth in check. The other issue you'll find is that as your library outgrows your ability to flower everything, you'll have plants in veg that can get unruly as she waits for her turn to be cloned and flowered. You'll end up pruning things back that will have to wait. When I do a round of cloning, I have to also prune back some of the library and end up with a 5gal bucket full of elite "garbage".

For the light, I held it up against the bottom of the table and screwed some short 2x4 scraps along the inside edge to pin the light up against the table. There are some other ways I'm sure, but that's the idea that came to me at the time. I haven't had any issues with it, but whatever you choose to do, make sure it's solidly secure.

:grin: No apology necessary, you're good people. Much appreciated Broseph.

Of the Skunky Chems, the Skunky VA would be more likely to have sativa qualities in the high and shorter maturation time. They are still in flower (pics above are from day 28 in flower), but the Chem'91skva cut finishes quicker than the Chem D. The Skunky VA is much further along in flower development than her '91 mother, so I hope the flowering time will be shortened. I especially would like the Skunky D to have shortened the Chem D flower time. Chem D is killer bud, but the flower time can really deter her regular commercial appearance.

I'm excited by the "okay", hopefully I'll be able to find the balance between working lines and having things available sometime this century. :blsmoke:

Humble observations one piece flow >> batch building when flower-time is a variable you want to control/eliminate from process. Flower window defined by what you allow it to be and will be that every time. Harvest windows defined when you want them to hit. It's up to you to design the queue systems to support the goals. This is from a grower perspective, not a breeder perspective. If scope is to shorten the actual flowering time of variety then I'll stop with production advices :dunce:

Picturesque plants as always :weed:

Hey Teach!!
Do you know much about plant tissue sampling and the materials needed to do it?
Is there a way to do it without massively expensive lab equipment?
I do not have any experience with tissue culturing. I know there are kits you can buy to try it at home, so I guess it is possible to pull it off. When I make a batch of mushrooms, I use a clear storage tote with two holes cut out for my hands to fit along with the jars and spores. Growing mushrooms is similar in the need for as sterile an environment as possible and I have regular success using the tote. There are many design examples but they can be a simple tote with two holes or more intricate with gloves sealing the holes.
