I’m thinking if you want less Chemdog influence (in the aroma) you need to hunt the crosses that have fairly different profiles. Both of the Jelly Pie female phenotypes I found (out of 5 seeds, 3 females and 2 males) have a dominant grape aroma to their stem rub. One is definitely a Grape Pie leaner with more funk and a sweeter finish, where the other has that Chemdog chemical cleaner bite to the rub.Agreed.
Chem is better when it doesn't dominate.
Stem rubs on my bodega bubblegum have been promising. Mostly candy with chem accents.
Texas butter is the opposite. All chem so far...
Is this commonly accepted in horticulture or plant biology? I always assumed the hollow stems was environmental. When my plants are at their healthiest, they never have hollow stems. I’d think that’d be problematic in a windy environment (having hollow stems).Get your boron to 1/1000th of your Calcium (assuming you have an adequate amount of calcium) and your hollow stems will fill up
It is a common Boron deficiency symptom. I used to get Hollow stems all the time. Now I send in soil samples for testing four to six times a year and once I got my Boron levels balanced correctly all the stems have filled in. I think I've had one plant with some Hollow stems in the last three years and it was probably just a Boron hog or maybe that particular spot didn't get enough boron. And I have plants that I've been running since I used to always have hollow stems that now have solid stemsIs this commonly accepted in horticulture or plant biology?

I have super healthy plants with hollow stems,I'm not sure and never really questioned it because it never effected growth.could be from unusually fast growth in an artificial environment. Seems like I have an OG that runs in the same buckets that doesn't have those hollow stems at all.Is this commonly accepted in horticulture or plant biology?

I'm pretty sure you could use an amino acid chelated boron in hydro. You might even be able to use borax. That's what I use in soil for boron. It's About 10.8% boron. There's also Solubor. Just be careful that you don't use too much. It's not hard to get a boron toxicity either.I'm in hydro using part a and b solutions,I'll look into that and see if it's something separate I can add in
I've noticed the best weed has really hollow stems.Ive ran clones on a second and third run that did it after sprout but after the plant matures they stopped doing it,It might be a growth or humidity thing not sure,Maybe someone else has a more scientific answer on the hollow stems.My Ghost cut is so hollow i cant hardly bend them over without them breaking.
Thats what i read,I also read that breeders throw away males and females that dont have hollow stems to sort through the ones that do.I just never paid attention to them really cause i never thought nothing of it.When i really think about it it seems all my keepers had hollow stems before i decided to keep them.I've noticed the best weed has really hollow stems.
Someone posted some fire looking nugs of the cackleberry. I may have to put that one on my radar.Well, went to the mail and found the package from Gu. I had only purchased 2 packs of the s1's and he was kind enough to include 3 packs including a Copper Chem. Almost makes me feel bad, ok it does. I am more than satisfied with the end result. I wish I had some GPS bud porn to put up but this is only going to be my first GPS run. Hmm Cackleberry, Copper Chem or Cookies and Chem...
Fuck it ruby, fastest gun wins.Wonder if I just stole anyone' cackleberry in the reverse auction just then

Thanks dude, that's the kind of info I've been looking for. I have one really squat/bushy yet to show sex. So either way, I'll get some nice bud, or some pollen from thatOf the Deputies that I ran (females) I had two phenos, 1 tall and 1 short, like you've described. The shorter one was the Banner (strawberry) leaning pheno. Larger and heavier buds. Better structure. Better yield, density and bag appeal. The taller deputies were kind of lanky and had smaller clusters of buds which yielded less for me. The smell and taste has more funk and (lemon) chemical cleaner to it. Potency was much better on the taller phenos, though, which would make it my keeper choice if I was only keeping one. Just for the potency. I am sure I could grow it out and do much better with it if I ran it a few times, so no worries there. You could keep both male phenos and mix the pollen?
And I may not be the best judge, but that is a pretty sexy looking Jelly Pie male you have there, @sourgummy.
that was me the other day when Gu posted the extra 5 packs. I got the email and bam, sniper scoped a few packs. It crossed my mind to allow some others to get the testers and me not to take 3 packs, but I will be posting pics up as much as anyone probably so I felt not guilty that they are in good hands for us here to see.Fuck it ruby, fastest gun wins.
Right on, congrats on grabbing some. Can't wait to see these testers getting grown out.that was me the other day when Gu posted the extra 5 packs. I got the email and bam, sniper scoped a few packs.

The school of thought is that thick stems = most likely a good hemp plant when choosing males. Better at making fiber than buds. I would only eliminate plants based on this if I were doing big number selections. The higher number of selections the more rigid you tend to get when deciding what to keep or throw away.Thats what i read,I also read that breeders throw away males and females that dont have hollow stems to sort through the ones that do.I just never paid attention to them really cause i never thought nothing of it.When i really think about it it seems all my keepers had hollow stems before i decided to keep them.
If you got money for a lawyer then the FLIR isn't gonna work. Illegal search and seizure. Cops can't just assume you're growing weed, you could be growing carrots, none of their business.Maybe I'm not paranoid enough, I've grown for too long illegaly, and legally, but I find it to be a big waste of time and energy for law enforcement to be doing that. I think there would be easier ways to catch growers behind the "green curtain". Like FLIR in a helicopter..
