The 3 honeybee sisters! Beautiful girls!!! I had a war with pests after buying 2 bad bags of coco, during this time I also battled a PH problem that in over 15 years I have never experienced which i also blame that coco, since going back to my regular brand all issues have been resolved! Yay

These girls were completely yellow and i actully pulled em out to die! Once i fixed everything i repotted these yellow wilted plants and this is roughly 12 days and look gorgeous! I blame all of my issues for the shitty male/female ratio as these are the only girls out of 10! I know it was the stress cause a whole pack of purpetrator was also male, A WHOLE PACK!!!!!!

So I've been wondering why the fuck my Lee Roy is looking stellar and my Fireballs which is a heavier feeder then the Lee Roy is looking like shit in the same soil....

Apparently my Fireballs REALLY hates cold, like it will just shut down and die lol, it was half way there before I shut off my A/C and closed my tent for 24 hours. She was drooping bad and is yellowing out almost looks like an MG/Cal deficiency. She's on her way back now, and the clones rooted and didn't seem so adversely effected by the cold which is super weird IMO. By cold I'm talking about 18-21 degrees celcius.

This switch to LED has made me change quite a few things up. My grow space is always cool, the LED's get maybe 5 degrees above room temp. I read everyone saying the decrease in heat the lights put off is surprising I still wasn't prepared for how little heat. I can use 2 little clip fans to rotate air in my space and one exhaust to pull threw the filter compared to the 4 high power fans I was using before.

I'm experiencing the same thing with one of my Fireball phenos. My temps have been down around 20C at lights off, high of 25C with lights on. It doesn't seem to like it this cool, slow veg growth and slightly droopy leaves. The other Fireball in the same tent is loving the temps and responding well to LST.

I've got a pack of Rosetta Stone F2 going in to flower this weekend. I'm hoping to preserve this line somewhat, and it sounds like an open pollination with all females/males is the best way to go. Cool. What if I'm working with a pack of seeds that I'm not trying to preserve the line per se, but I find a really nice female and I want to make some seeds that resemble that female? Is it best to just pick what looks to be the best male from that pack and hit only that one female, or should I take pollen from more than one male and hit that gal, or something else.... and why?

Thanks

I guess if you happen to choose the wrong male, while only choosing one, then your seeds will reflect this and be a mediocre batch, possibly. Sure open pollinations create the greatest amount of genetic diversity, but is that what we really want? So if a few of the males are undesirable, by using a number of males, then you end up w progeny from varied males all jumbled together into the seed batch. Selection is already difficult enough. I'll also cite that DJ Short does not use multiple males on a project, perhaps for other reasons than mentioned but thought I'd just throw that out there.

My tendency is to work a line, pollenate all the best females, but with only one best male. [keep in mind, pollen can always be collected from other males and stored or a target application.] You'll still have plenty of diversity by only choosing one male along with multiple females for a project, without all the randomness multiple males bring. I believe this simplifies by providing a basis of some degree of male continuity while working towards an f2 or f3 version. Not everyone will agree with me, but I hope my perspective adds something.
