Nice, a little bud smorgasbord! Cheers, smelling pretty good too as I get my sense of smell back

Thanks for posting her up Dawg. She's a beauty, nice job, she's the first BR I've seen grown in hydro and doesn't seem to be minding her wet roots one bit
Can you say hydro donkey dicks?

Cheers HydroDan, just a tester and small, maybe a zip + but a good indicator of how that back-cross went. Looks and smells much like the mother other than structure/yield. Better run some more pollen and run a larger batch for a new year's fairy run

A clean-up and flip for a new batch of 4x 5gal @ Day 0. Will throw in another 4 ~3 weeks from now. Not bad size coming in. They came from 4000k Citi 1212's vs 5700k so the stretch should be less. We'll soon see, the last two BR's from seed at the back were about this size coming in
The group and zoom-in on the batch at the back. Those BR colas are getting massive
Cheers

Pulled the Columbian Gold P2 pheno, 53 light cycles, wasn't going anywhere, done. Not a lot of smell off this one, just the earthy smell with some pine or the like in the background. Not bad for a spare 3 gal though. A nice contribution to the hash bucket
Cheers

Hey Mo, I turn it all into sift then use it for whatever I want, mainly coco caps, daily medicine for me. I don't smoke or vape that much myself and always have a good stash of primo smoke around. So any phenos that don't have some wow factor generally just go into the treats bin
Yeah this database timeout thing has been going on for a week or so. Site's going to crash or they'll take it down for db maintenance. If you hit refresh after getting the error dialog box 99% of the time the post or like was fine.

So a twist of events on the breeding front. I'd pulled that nice looking and smelling Blue Ripper F2 male and flowered it out. The pods never opened, or at least most didn't. Got some pollen but maybe 10% of what I should have. Tried another clone and same thing. Bummer, will have to hunt through the F2's again for F3's.
However, perhaps events are just unfolding with a different twist. While running some testers in the F2/BX1 line, I pulled that F2/BX1 road kill skunk male. He was too big to flower, but one of his clones is just getting prepared to flip
He just came out of a party cup, will veg for a week or so and flip
Cheers

I need to get some of Doc's work this year so can't wait to see how you get on with the TPR

Hoping for one of his purple phenos on that one, been meaning to run some of his gear for a while. Looks beautiful, should do well.I need to get some of Doc's work this year so can't wait to see how you get on with the TPR

Thanks for the update, beauties, both are starting to get caked in QB frost

Looking good in there G, my Blue Harley is bouncing back nicely now after switching back to organics and a good defoliation to clean her up. Just dropped some fookies beans and the BR are on deck. Making it a point to grow out the stuff gifted to me by fellow growers before touching my seed stash (aside from the auto's), it's the least I can do for those kind enough to share genetics
Those monster BR's you have going there in the back have me excited about popping the beans

@GroErr -- Seeing when this thread started and knowing you had others before it, all I can say is "respect". You've been at this for a while. I'm just getting set up to do some controlled breeding on a very small scale, and will either do one or two winter grows per year... so its going to be a VERY long slow process between generations. I also won't have the ability to grow larger numbers and choose the best ones, limited space will dictate small handfuls at a time. But this is all for personal use, and so far the genetics I'm starting with are pretty solid, so it'll keep things fun and interesting. Anyway, just checking in to see how its done!

Cheers Evil, glad to hear that BH is still going, haven't seen any duds pop on those, glad to hear she's still on for a flip, they (BH) don't typically throw off much smell until about 4 weeks into flowering so don't go by what they smell like in vegLooking good in there G, my Blue Harley is bouncing back nicely now after switching back to organics and a good defoliation to clean her up.

Would be great if you could find some room for a few BR seeds, not many duds in that BX1 run, have seen some very nice phenos pop, just flipped 2 myself, couldn't decide between them so ran them both! cheers

Hey thanks for popping in and positive comments
Not a problem going slow, I'm sort of restricted myself but whether it takes 2 or 10 years doesn't matter, the process of breeding /chucking is a lot of fun, and can be quite rewarding. I've hit some beautiful phenos on the first runs, and had to wait years to find "the one" so I can move the line further along. More than 2 years and still haven't found an F2 male for the Blue Ripper's, but I found a killer BX1 male so will work the line in that direction and go back to hunt for an F2 killer male. I can't run more than about 20-25 seeds at a time, but multiple batches over time works for me. If you think you need patience to grow, wait until you see how your patience is stretched when trying to breed! lol Cheers and good luck with the grows/chucking!

Ya, I'm one week in and I'm already impatient! LOL I'll do two runs this winter, each having some spaces for seeds, some for meds. All the new crosses made won't be tested until next year -- the winter of 2018/2019. In our world of immediate gratification, this is almost unimaginable... even for an old guy like me.
Eventually I hope I can work out a way to (a) grow year round indoors, and (b) have a tent system where I'm popping more seeds periodically (instead of just twice a year), so that I have plants in various stages and I have results rolling in more frequently. I think that would spread the love out more.
For this first go, I've calculated that I can get the most out of the time period with two bigger waves of plants, and efficiency rules the day.
