Super Silver Haze to Flower and Seed

[shnkrmn]

I am trying to reach a decision about this one plant. It is far behind all the others in bud production and has an excessively branchy growth habit, looks like a total larf factory.

The other plants are forming much more robust buds and are way more inclined togrow buds not branches all up the mains.

So I am leaning toward removing this plant from my crowded tent. One option is to make it a seed mother plant, since I want seeds, and even though it's not the finest pheno, it's seeds would still carry the full suite of genetic variation, and I'm not so much breeding here as just producing seeds to play with in the future. It would be as simple as putting it with my male plant for a while. Or I could cull it completely and continue with my more challenging plan of selective pollenation of single branches on my favorite female, Plant C. Pollinating the whole tent is not on the table.

Feedback welcome, of course.

I feel.like the right answer is to cull that one and not use it for any breeding/reproductive moves.

I feel.like the easy answer is to move that one in with the male and let them get it on and not worry about any pollen mishaps in the full tent.

Exactly. I'm so used to growing highly bred feminized seeds it's definitely a different experience doing this!

Don’t kill it. Just trim the branches , make it smaller, have it in the back corner of the tent.
How do u like the ks5000? I like mine because no loud fans. And I can set it to 25% low power.

I've been using that light nonstop since last November. It runs cool with the driver outside the tent and plants really seem to like it. I pretty much run it on full power all the time. I veg stuff under other smaller led panels. An awesome 400 dollar light. My other tent is running a 630w Phlizon bar light I won in a contest last year. I've only flowered with it once before but it's definitely up to the job in a 4x4. Runs hotter with less advanced diodes and the driver is built in so you get that heat to deal with but it's not bad.

I won a Phlizon as well. Exhausting outside, temps stay well under control. I'm currently flowering 6 plants under it in my 4x4 tent. They are loving it.

I vote for put it outside with your male and make seeds.

I think you're right. I will put them in the garage together, very close, with wine and chocolates and an old blind gypsy playing violin. I can still pursue selective pollenation of Plant C too.

Here's a male branch I cut a couple days ago dropping pollen in my garage.

Here's Daddy

^^^ this and cut the tall colas off. That way after the time it takes to pollinate it, spray it off with water and then some citric acid soln and bring her indoors to finish. That's what I'd do anyway ;D

That's the haziest look of the bunch. I would keep it, but if I had my druthers I would keep literally every plant until the buds been tested, and that's just not practical.

I am planning on cutting the tops, that makes sense for this purpose and I can finish in my other tent which has shorter plants anyway. Definite yes on the citric acid. Now is the time of year when every pest is looking for a soft berth for winter.

Yeah, I can do a more leisurely pheno hunt another time. 6 big plants in a 4x4 is challenging right now. And I know nothing about haze so it's all a journey of discovery. Glad to get input on what I'm trying to do. It's pretty fun to get out of the same old same old crop every 10 weeks and repeat.

There's a fucking giant thread on OG about haze, lots of really good info there, taught me most of what I know about haze/sativas, but there is alot of bickering and pretentiousness to sift through.

My tolerance for that shit is low. Kind of why I mostly post grow stuff in journals rather than general threads.

Oh trust me, I know, I've had to stop visiting alot of threads to avoid saying things that will get me in trouble. I'm a big sativa guy, and there's not a whole lot of folk growing true sativas/sativa leaning plants, so I gotta take what information I can get, wherever I can get it.

Staring at the ceiling and having a smoke lol. I just grabbed the male and swished him through her branches a few times. Plenty of unopened flowers left for more pollen.

She got more loving this morning and I also pollenated one branch of a shorter, less hazy pheno. Time to kill Daddy.
