Thanks for the good information! Genetics interest me a lot, and I plan on doing more research on them after I finally get my feet on the ground here! It's my first grow, so I know I won't make an amazing yield, might as well produce some free feminized seeds out of it for future use! Clones aren't good for me currently as I'll be moving soon, but seeds are great! Definitely planning on sticking around, and thanks for the good information again dude! My first seedling's first real leaves are just starting to form, oh my goodness it's exciting!!!Thank you bro. Its good to have you here. Hope you stay to watch the rest of the show.
And if you do want to start breeding, and crossing strains, the best thing I could "ever" tell you to do is get the breeder bible/book & read the hell outta that thing!! For me, I have to read it 1st hand for myself so it'll sink in and I will understand it.
But if you do wanna start, take a "top notch" plant (female) and make sure she has really good qualities, such as tight nodes, good root structure, even branching, etc' just "good" qualities is what your looking for in plants you wanna cross, or make produce seeds. You can take the said plant with the good characteristic's, spray it with the CS (a single branch) till run off on the lower part of the plant, do this for a week or so, (until you see male parts) forming, collect the pollen, dust it on a single cola. Then you will have beans of that exact plant with the good characteristic's.
You really should try & locate a "breeders" book, or information on RIU about breeding before starting though bro. Because it does get alittle complex at times, say when your back crossing, and polinating a single branch insted of your entire crop. So you gotta know atleast the basics, and be really carefull doing this the first time or two. There's more to it, a lot more! But like said, you could learn a lot more & better from the breeder book bro..
Its good to have you here though..

Well just the basic wiring bro. Black to black whit to white, green to ground. All I did was take lamp cords you can buy in the store or on net for like 2 to 3 $ and the sockets for like a 1$ or 2$, and that about it on the wiring. The bulbs nothing special, just with the during vegging I run a mixed of the warm & cool 2700k to 5600k and when I flower I switch to cool. With the added blue CFL'S, I run those during vegging, and "red" & orange during flowering.
No special brand or anything, just whatevers on sale really.
Shoot!! We gotta pinch pennies all we can buying our growing equipment..

Well, don't get me wrong bro, I still don't know it all. And I still have my issues from time to time. I find myself learning new grow techniques everyday just about. And find myself forever more studying, and trying to find out new techniques, secrets, tricks, etc'. I also stay with them a lot. Lol.. to the point my wife gets jealous over them!!
I tell her, "hey!! They can't take care of themselfs!! They need a lot of love". haha.. you orrta see the looks I get at times.. haha.. Its all good though. She'll get over it now won't she!! ... haha..

You know, I was looking into the family tree of the Peyote Purple I have going & they had breed "Chemdawg 91'" somewhere down the line with the Peyote Purple!! Pretty cool huh!??
I LOVE botany, and just anything to do with these plants really!!

Ninja didn't understand my first explanation of how it's unlikely to burn your plant if you leave drops on them. I was providing a more simplified example.?? Did I miss something?? I didn't understand what/who you where reply..?:
Plants are looking good, by the way.

It's crazy how plants with similar strain lineage can be so different. And yea man, all this is just too interesting to me. Almost makes me switch my major from bio to botany, but I figure with my bio degree I still get a nice taste of botany (2 courses minimum)You know, I was looking into the family tree of the Peyote Purple I have going & they had breed "Chemdawg 91'" somewhere down the line with the Peyote Purple!!

Agreed, don't cross colors.. (unless the circuit is a 220/240 and you're running romex and it is -specifically labeled- that one of the whites would be a hot) If questions, please ask before you do wiring so you don't burn your house down. We have more than a few qualified to field electrical questions.Well just the basic wiring bro. Black to black whit to white, green to ground.

Oh i get it now, thats what i thought you ment. Ive done it and never seen real burnt spots either. I have lots of fan action and circulation though

Personally, I'd be prone to blame anything in the water for the burn. While straight water hasn't caused burning for me, some foliar sprays have.Oh i get it now, thats what i thought you ment. Ive done it and never seen real burnt spots either. I have lots of fan action and circulation though

Not trying to argue KP, but I am also leery of water spots, being a mechanic for a number of years, and having paint jobs that I was particular about, and also selling Meguiars and Mother's products for a few years, I have seen tests of how the newer waxes are formulated to 'sheen' water from a finish, rather than the old school 'bead up' theory of how to tell if your car was waxed good, and the reasoning behind the sheening action was that the rain drops could magnify the sun and create burn spots on clear coats on newer cars.

I've only had (water spots) on my plants leaves happen to me 1 time. I didn't really know what it was at the time it happened!! It look like small "rust (burn) spots to me. I figured iit out after a day of tripping out! Ivd also seen on a few others plants "hard water" spots to!! Idk if anyone in here has ever had a "salt looking" buildup that kinda looks "white" and you would think its PM, but it isn't. Some people also mistake it 4 salt buildup from nutes also. But when I had it a few years back, it was due to "hard water" is all. Now when I do mist off my plants, I try to make sure the fan is going in there with them so the water beads don't just sit on the leaves..

Not a good sign. Chicago is notorious for opening seed packages. They got my last one, but thankfully the second one came threw NY so no problems that time. Good luck you'll know as soon as you seen the envelope if its got green tape all over it. Just take a picture of it if it happens and email and they will fix it.
