The risk with selfing is the seeds have a greater chance to express recessive genes. If the plant being selfed (making S1 seeds) is more stable with dominant genes, it's less of a risk of recessive expression. If you want to express recessives, it's a good tool. Just depends on what you're...

I wrestle with this question every grow. I think some plants do better with smaller sites and some like the main big ones. I've gotten dense mids from one plant, but larfy trash from the one next to it, both from the same seed pack. I even ran a clone of a plant, genetics I'm otherwise...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I said that. Just backcross stabilizing. Not sure if I want to inbreed it that much. The more I learn about this the more work I realize probably needs done. Hell, I'm still exploring nuances of these genes. I'm not 100% sure what expressions are from...

Roots in the reservoirs, stretch is full on with pistils clustering. I pruned the skirts today, the little branches that won't grow into the light. If the plants get big enough to need it, I'll prune suckers off, too. The one is a bit bushier. This is more what I'm looking for overall.

Glad you came back to this thread. I was thinking about it just last week. Can you post some photos?

I'm no longer in a position to pursue this project, so I'll put it on hold. I've turned it into a test run, saving four females. It will be good to know if how I'm selecting gives me the high I want through these F3s. They're untopped and already on 12/12. Seeing some solid uniformity.

Growing, it all smelled like nondescript skunky weed. Even stem rubs were just kinda skunk. Got a little sweeter as it ripened, but stayed skunky overall.

Harvest went well for the M10/Purest Indica. Significant differences are apparent. The airy bud at bottom right is the stoniest of the bunch, bringing some cheesy baby shit. The rest smell a bit hay-like, but are sweetish otherwise (especially on the grind). I've sown some seeds from the...

She's kinda twisty. Same plant as above?

Test run of Elk River F3. Just hitting sexual maturity, already on 12/12. Need to re-up the supply, too. Will be filling the reservoirs soon.

Plants drooped for a day in transplant shock, then took off. I'm guessing the roots got established on that heat mat while the foliage stalled, and now that the air is warm, the roots can really work. Waiting on gender at this point. I'll probably top them in a bit. Elk River gets tall even...

I do this regularly. Matter of fact, I have four SIPS in my flower tent waiting for plants while the insects and micros break down the brown tree leaves and green cannabis leaves. I have also used fresh alfalfa. I keep all such amendments in larger chunks to help with aeration (full leaves...

I run my pump nonstop. Don't know if your stems will dry in there, but you don't want that. A couple stems in your pics look like the bottom cm is withered/shrunk.

Trimming is done, heat is up. The plants responded quickly. I selected eight for the IBL and saved four interesting ones. This is four of the eight (far back from above). Of the other four, there is a weird stunty one; the one like the F1; the more GG4-looking one; and another that's...

Started my trim job. This one's gonna be time-consuming. Lotta indica genes. But I'll get temps back up this weekend. The Elk River sprouts are barely growing. Keeping warm roots helps. But the mothers in the same tent are not overgrowing, so that's a side bonus. Not entirely sure which to...
