Nirvana PPP x Cali-O cross - micro grow

SeedHo said:

from the look of the cross you hit a good one. the ppp is one that i have missed out on, i usually like plants that shape, the big chunky skunk type flowers. i do have a question about your setup, how hard it to get to your plant. also for those gnats you can put some cider vinegar out and it attracts them to their death.

i do actually have a treatment going, dish washing soap in small dishes, does much the same thing, helps contain the little devils
now on getting the plant in/out of chamber, that is a little tricky
angle is a little awkward, and getting a bud snagged is a danger
but not too bad on the whole

the time is here, harvest and tracking the genetics
cut at 9 1/2 weeks, many trichomes turned cloudy, maybe a few amber
family photo shoot, 1st Cali-O father, 2nd PPP mother, and lastly child
PPP was LST'd, so plant shape is tough to compare
but i think they were close in the fan leaf, similar yellowing at 9 1/2 weeks
PPP was also chopped then, more buds from mom, daughter was only half the woman
i think the Cali-O contribution was on the odor side, had some lemon going on
but the smell on the whole smells like, well, urinal cakes, and it's a close match
the last bit is about dad, he had a small bud
was small, right at the tip, was beautifully formed though

looks like your cross was a success, congrats. now for the best part is to enjoy your hard work.

thanks SeedHo, yield still sucks but if the bud is quality i'll call it even
and i did make seeds with her, my crosses are multiplying exponentially, be buried in seeds eventually

Wow....some 80's bush going on here....really hairy...lol Lokking good.

i`m getting ready to try and crack some old crosses i did with the ae77, not even sure they`ll germ just due to their age. here`s a couple of shots of et mastodon. their at 4 weeks so they have a ways to go, but they are frosting up nicely.

thanks gquebed their not an old strain, they a emerald triangle`s mastodon, old gen. strains crossed to make new gen. strain.
growone you can never have to many seeds, i have more than i could ever grow in my lifetime. i thought that plant looked to yield pretty good for the light you put to them. the ppp mom looked to be a lot more productive, and if it was grown in the same environment, i could see your disappointment. hopefully the finished product is better than both parents.

yeah, seeds don't take up much room
so far my home made seeds have been good in every category except yield
i'll give the breeders their due, yields are something they breed well
