jcash look at Dankhouse's Strawberry Alien Kush. I ran it and rather enjoyed it.
I personally respect Dankhouse and consider that seed company more talented and their stock is definitely legit.
thank you sir. im ashamed to admit that i do not have any Dankhouse strains in my vault. was eyeballing the double barrel for a bit, but couldn't pull the trigger.

i had just never heard bad talk about CV before, it kinda caught me off guard

Sampling the PlushBerry.. to be honest it's okay. Very melon,Lemon sugar tasting ..(way more on the lemon side).. no real berry taste at all in this pheno.. High is pretty damn mellow in my opinion

Not bad tasting smoke tho
 
PD is right on the money in my experience.

what you have done (regardless of your intent) is essentially the same thing as trying to make clones of a plant that is already in flowering. if you are running lights 16+ hours a day, then even if successful, you are only revegging the plant, and if u have them at only 11 or 12 hrs of light i can't imagine that the cutting you took would make roots.

although to be fair, i have never put a cutting into 12/12 until it was rooted and ready, and i have never tried to make clones of plants that had already begun the flowering process. so maybe it would work, but my novice opinion is that it will not.


as a side thought, if u want to protect your females, couldnt you just have put the desired female in a second "cooldudebox" with the male?

either way, good luck bud!
Ya, I should have realized some of these mistakes before I got chop-happy. To fix this, I took some more cuts of the main dad that was laying on top of my "pot-trash" bin, and cut new angle cuts on the soil planted ones. I cut the bottoms off a couple water bottles, filled with water, and covered the tops with 2 strips of clear shipping tape. Poked a few cuts into the tape and this is what it looks like now.
I didn't move the ladies around because they are in the 4x4 tent and will soon be joined by A13xA11 and DirtyGirl, Space Bubba, Jaffa Cake, and Green Python. Sooner or later I will build a better setup for the dudes.

What light schedule do you think I should run....12/12? I don't live in a place where I can window them. Sorry for all the ?'s.

If I could only choose one feminized seed provider it would definitely be Dinafem. They got their shit dialed in tight. Love this strain.:weed:

just curious, was that from the green, the pink, or the purple pheno?

you definitely want 12/12. if u do more than 12 on, you will be telling the plant to stop flowering, and that would be the opposite of what u want. you want flowering to go into hyperdrivespeed ;)

i just chopped a Dinafem Diesel a lil while bak that i got as a UFO, it was very fussy early on, and i almost killed it too make room for some other stuff, but in the end i was really glad i didn't. its only been in the jar 2 weeks, but it has a really sexy smell and taste so far. not as fuely as im use to, but i only had one seed, so i can't speak for the line as a whole, or about possible different phenos. just that i was very pleasantly surprised and thought it was nifty that you had mentioned this girl ;)

Your cuttings should survive as long as they are hydrated. You may want to replace the water everyday or even put them in bubbling water just like you would do for a clone. Hopefully they are mature enough to open and realease pollen soon. You didn't leave any of the bottom of the plant? If height was a concern you could have just topped the hell out of it and saved only lower branches. Well you live and learn, good luck.

ya i chopped too early, and probably shouldn't have killed the plant without doing more research. I will keep a close eye on them and change the water. If it doesn't work out, no big. I will let you guys know what happens in a week.

Yes cvs is chucking and selling untested. As for pollen collection. I bought a small plastic storage tote with tight sealing blid and some velcro stickies. I took 3. 16 oz cups and putg them in a line in the bottom of the container. The middle cup with water and notches on each side, the outer cups had notches cut in each side as well and I used a piece of paper folded into a V and let the paper rest in the notches on the outer cups. It holds the paper right under the branches I have in the center cup. Doing 2 branches at a time works better and they stayed alive for over a week ....... I also bought a large storage container with locking lid and just put the whole plant in there to do his thing. I like this better and it'll be my main method. I put paper in the bottom and just let it collect. ..... just don't let ur male get big enough to touch the sides, and get a container that will stand on its side well, for taller plants

Also before you put your male into his container cut off any leaves that are even close to dying or falling off or are in the way of letting plllen fall into your collection unit. Water is your friend, maybe use a humidifier.
 
Thank you guys. +rep

LastWood - I will go get a large rubbermaid tub to make things a bit easier and cleaner for next time, will check any leaves for drooping or obstruction and cut them in the next couple days, and will get a cpu paper-pollen collecting system down as well.

My only exp with Dinafem is a friend saying he didn't like the cheese....and my recent harvest of Dinafem OG. Bag appeal isn't like most OG's but it is really stinky and tasty.

Only CV I have is the Blue Magoo x JBJ. Held off on a lot of their drop because I wanted to see pics of other/more grows before I bought more. Thought about Sin Diesel until I saw 303 Biodiesel.

Personally I don't think Cannaventure is much different from any of these other guys out there selling mainly untested F1s. I went thru all the CV threads at ICMag and didn't really see anything amazing. I know for a fact that they work with a couple legit clone only quality strains but they'll cross any and every thing that has any hype attached to it and release it with little to no testing. As soon as I read they were gonna cross the "girl scout cookies" to something else and offer it as a new cross I laughed my ass off. There's gonna be shmucks out there thinking they are getting GSC and what they will be getting is nothing like GSC.. just more of that same old or in this case worthless stupid shit. The Blue Magoo cross was about the only one that ever interested me. The Sin Diesel is probably okay. But the rest of their shit looks like shit to me.

going to be playing guess what in my garden for the next couple days... 3-4 SSSL have Hermie Sacks on them.... :-/ with this and the plush going this route I'm more thinking this is my error now..(scratches head) WTF could it be?? My OGPK is doing just fine but, I'm beginning to think she is just very very stable.

No light leaks
PH is monitored and is between 6.4-6.7 on average
feeding has been light heaviest being a feeding of 900 PPM

Yes the smell is way different from say a ChemDog. More citrusy and fresh I guess. Now I've only been into two different sets of their seeds and they are a little finicky to strong soil mixes. I've changed to a real mellow base and a weak fungal tea to start out with. Then you can turn up the feed after 2 or 3 weeks in 12/12. At about week two I also top dress with some hotter soil. On another note, I basically killed my whole veg chamber by letting it get too hot while away for a bit. Luckily at the time I only had two moms one being this Diesel and the other a CheeseQuake. The CQ wasn't diggin it at all and was laid to rest whereas the Diesel is making a comeback with some greening of newer growth. As soon as there is some obvious growth I'll take a few cuts and reset a mom. If only for that reason of being able to take the heat, I was impressed. I have a CQ in flower now that I am fucking freaking out on for all of the frost showing up at 4 weeks. Simply incredible. My first thought was to get more beans of CQ but I think I'm gonna take a cut or three of her tmrw at lights on to make sure I replicate this beauty.
CheeseQuake @ 28 topped once.
