I have investigated plant tissue culture, but it requires a sterile work station ($$$). If I was a heavy duty breeder I would

 

[Chronikool]

* Fewer hours of daylight

* More blue light, less red

* High Nitrogen

* Low Potassium

* Low Temps, but high humidity

Also known as 'vegetation of cannabis' ?

I was doing some reading about seeds and feminizing seeds and I think most people use female plant pollen, so there will only be female DNA in the mix. I don't really like this idea from a breeding point of view, sounds like a strange idea. I am thinking about trying to do some Plant Tissue cultures if I get enough time. Have you ever seen this done before Pet?

I am in the middle of making feminized seeds now... by inhibiting ethylene on the plant, which forces the plant to create male pollen sacs instead of female buds.

The tallest WHx finally began showing pistils, but only a few so far. Damn, she is shy

3/7 females- OUCH, but Melanie (the tallest) should make up for it with lots bud sites all over the long secondary branching.

In future grows, from seed, I will keep more blue spectrum going until I see pistils. I think I flipped spectrums too soon, which could have caused more males

In the following 2 pics, I did not show the 3rd girl, which I brought up from the led tent, so you could get a better view of Melanie

Fresh nutes + cleaned tote, pump filters/socks

Also, after the photo shoot I took 6 clones from her lower branches

The clones are in a bubble bucket along side the tent

The stems are really strong, so I scraped the bottom ~ 1.5" then sliced the bottom ~ 1/2" to facilitate rooting

I added the NW ufo as side lighting, and will likely add the WW, at least until the clones root, then I will use the 2 ufos in the led tent to get veg rolling

 

[PetFlora]

Coincidence?

Before I left to run errands I replaced one Quantum Flower and one UVL RedLife with 2 Quantum Grow bulbs. I also put the a/c on 70

I just got home and checked the tent

Lots more pistils

Apparently the WH x WW likes more blue at this stage

Lesson learned

Update

There are 3 plants, all from same seed stock. Sort of F2, but I only had 2 F1s germ. I pollinated and got ~ 30 seeds, so no choice as to which pheno to pollinate

If you look on the left side you can see the top of a small one (just below the cut out behind it).

The plant on the far right is pretty much identical- both expressing Indica, whereas Melanie (in the middle) continues to grow. I am almost out of height and may need to snap and run parallel. Not a bad thing

Pet, your ladys are doing what mine are, I have two being all shy and short and then the middle one is taking over! Mine are quit a lot more crowded, I think they are fitting back now that I added the bottom light, do you think they some how know when there is a more dominant lady around? Its also interesting that my tallest one was a male...

 

[PetFlora]

Males tend to be taller and thinner. Mine is a sat dom female

A tale of 3 plants all same WHxWW, pollinated with Bgum

The plant on the left is expressing both sat and indica, middle plant (Melanie) mostly sat, and plant on right mostly indica. The two plants on the outsides are almost the same height

As you can see I snapped Melanie to bring her closer to the others so they could get better light

I took 6 clones from Melanie, all are doing great, but no roots yet

Pic of plant on left also shows top bud from Melanie

 

[PetFlora]

Buds are developing nicely. Only 9 days for Melanie

Hung the other ufo to light both the clones and the male G13/WHx.

Been collecting pollen and have pollinated a few of Melanies' branches + the WH/WWx on the far right

Melanie's branches are overtaking the canopy. See pic of her main stalk

 

[Chronikool]

Hey Pet...good growth...can you go through your current total light setup for me?

 

[PetFlora]

Thanks.

I just played musical hot5 bulbs yesterday

Quantum Bad Boy 8 bulb

From front to back

HOT5

1. Quantum Flower
2. UVL Red Life
3. ZooMed Florosun
4. Wave Point Coral Wave
5. ZooMed Florosun
6. Quantum Flower
7. UVL Red Life
8. Quantum Grow (I will replace this with either UVL RL or Q Flower, or maybe another Coral Wave) Thoughts?

NW ufo (90w at plug) as side lighting

Clone/G13 male ufo NW (45w), though it looks more cool white

 

[PetFlora]

Good news. Turns out the ufos are 90w at the plug, so ~ ? 85w?

 

[Chronikool]

Oh yip....i know you like to change things around...sorry i cant keep up sometimes.

Yeah T5's are uncharted territory for me so i cant really offer anything with regards to that.

Those UFO's are from Area 51 yeah? So are those crees as the engine or...?

 

[Chronikool]

Good news. Turns out the ufos are 90w at the plug, so ~ ? 85w?

Oh sweet so you got a 'killa-watt' to test your true power draw yeah?

 

[PetFlora]

Ya I kinds do things on a whim, or feeling. I'm kind of Intuitive

Yeah these are the A51s. I believe they are Hileoptos. They are not going to use them, so Jeff was kind enough to pass them on to me

Hi petflora where you bought the NW ufo

 

[PetFlora]

They were gifts. Not production items. I don't recommend round panels, but you can buy similar panels...

This is a bit lacking (I prefer more NW= ~ 450-550) but ok for veg. In a pinch, you can supplement with WW A19s http://www.ledwholesalers.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=402

Hi petflora where you bought the NW ufo

 

[PetFlora]

Hmmmm. I have read about the healing potential of the tone 528hz, but never thought of it in terms of color spectrum. Could be an awesome addition for those who use monochrome leds. It is missing from R/B panels

[PetFlora]

A bunch of these could be awesome. Just replace the engine with NW/WW chips COBs. The ability/benefits to aim at different angles is overlooked

This is why I buy dry nutes and mix with magnetized, vortexed, structured water
