Always a treat when the "one" pops, hope that goes well for you, she looks awesome for how early she's into flowering.

RE: F8's yeah wish we were truly legal over here so I could run female pheno hunts outdoor through summer. Would take a year or two off strain development! Cheers.
MAN!!! your not lyin!!! Im still excited about her lol thanks bro, yeah she fits my ideal pretty well so far, I only hope she gets chunky even though im pollinating the crap out of her and feminizing a couple of branches

I wish it was too man i can only imagine the lovely phenos hidden away in your gear....actually I can just look at your thread haah there gorgeous! I just imagine them being much bigger outdoors. Im pretty juiced for this upcoming outdoor season its gunna be a good one I can feel it. :D

Think I got up to #17 before I ran out of stickers lol
Finally tally is 22 Vigorous females in 1 gallon pots, 6 less vigorous girls in cups, raised the light and upped the cycle from 14/10 to 18/6

I also removed the weakest (flowering) 4 from group 1 and have them on the edges of group 1 to collect unused light and allow my Keeper females more room to grow properly (air circulation and light)

This is my ideal Pinkie from the front/top (ideal Pinkie Pie [P3-06-A1-1-CI-{Ci/select}-G1P1])

beautiful citrusy notes jump right out and punch you in the face and if you sit there to really take it in you start picking up on the more subtle and nuanced aromas like cheese and fruit.

Among my really frosty gals I get 2 distinct types of trich producers 1 that I call Greasy because it tends to have more non glandular (hair like) trichomes which is a very tropical/sativa trait and the ones I consider Crusty becaus the high number of glandular trichs makes it look crunchy with ice crystals this trait is very indica dominant.

This gal has a good mix so far but as she gets older im sure shell start to lean one way or the other.

Notice how the branches look hairr... those arent the typical hairs plants grow for uv protection those are trichomes!!! this girl just oozes trichs from every orofice!!I I love her!

Frosted to the tips!


Greasy V. Crusty

I haven't really noticed a difference between the effects of the 2 phenos or any other traits associated with it but I imagine the glandular dominant phenotypes are better for hashish production and extracts, not really sure what the benefit of non glandular would be but it seems to be prevalent in more psychadelic/euphoric strains from the tropics (pure sativas) I just like to track as many traits as possible for education purposes, and who knows maybe itll come in handy down the line.

I have a theory but its just that lol a theory.
trichs have more than 1 use (pollen catching, psycho production, protection)

not cannabis but for reference

Plant traits may play multiple functional roles simultaneously. Leaf trichomes have been related to resistance against herbivores as well as to enhanced water economy in the plant. In a greenhouse study, we evaluated the interactive effect of damage (control vs. mechanical damage) and water availability (control vs. low watering) on the expression of glandular and non-glandular leaf trichomes in the annual Chilean tarweed Madia sativa (Asteraceae). We found that the overall trichome density increased both after damage and when plants were grown under water shortage. Interestingly, the type of trichome induced after damage varied with each water environment. While damage induced glandular trichomes only under control watering, non-glandular trichomes were induced by damage only under experimental drought. Results indicate that in M. sativa glandular trichomes are equally induced by drought or damage but there is no additive effect of these factors. In both cases glandular trichome density apparently reached a limit, which may be interpreted in terms of constraint or efficacy. On the other hand, the synergistic effect of damage and drought on non-glandular trichomes might suggest that, compared to glandular ones, these trichomes are less responsive to each stress factor separately. Thus, for plants to induce non-glandular trichomes they must be subjected to a degree of stress above a threshold that was not reached for each individual factor in our experimental setting. We did not detect a significant correlation between trichome types. Thus, the contrasting patterns observed likely reflect independent responses of trichomes to the evaluated factors.

Indicas tend to be very susceptible to mold and mildew whereas sativas are not even though sativas come from very wet and humid places and indicas are generally from drier regions. The glandular trichs have been selected for in indica landraces through artificial selection (hashish producers will breed the plants that provide the greatest yield of extracts) whereas the more equatorial landrace sativas have had a much greater influence from natural selection, in part because flowers are the preferred method of ingestion in those part of the world and in part because the environment simply wouldn't allow a plant without the "greasy" coating to protect against the moisture (oil and water don't mix) making it so the molds and mildews lack the conditions necessary to reproduce and survive in buds.

so yeah... thats my theory lol its a complex mix of factors but makes sense i think

This is the girl im callin darkstar (insert butthole joke here lol):fire:

Girls frosty as hell, beautifully colored, nice aroma, crusty (vs slick) with trichs, and very healthy. AMAZING UPDATE!!!! she is also starting to put off slightly purple pistils on the lower popcorn buds so she may develop some pistil color before this grows done!!!

doing pretty well for having another plant in her same pot with her, might be snuffing him out today tho to allow this girl to grow properly and develop lots of pollen+ seeds.

Nice bf, a couple of beauties in there. That first one would be a good juicer candidate with the trich covered leaves!

:bigjoint::leaf::hump:

Fabulous dude! Fucking fabulous! You every thought about doing a video of your grows? :weed:
thanks man!
No not really, not that I have anything against it just never appealed to me i guess. whats the benefit over pics? My current grows are definitely not worthy of showing off either btw hahaha I gotta keep my plants tiny to hit the numbers I need and people just arent impressed by little plants ::-?

I may consider doing videos of the outdoor this upcoming spring-fall cuzz by then I should be able to veg a few big girls to show off and take some budporn for packaging :D

do you do videos?

UPDATE!!!!!!! DAY 54

Pollinated all my select females on Saturday and have reduced CS application from twice daily to once a day (first bottle of Tmist is done as of 12/12/2016)

3 females have all exhibited 2-3 pink/purple pistils from group 1 and all 3 are dark purple females sharing a pot with another plant. Ive noticed from the start that the plants most likely to exhibit the pink pistil trait are the darker budded ones so I suspect the pistil color has something to do with anthocyanins. I am also aware that pH and stress have a role to play in whether or not the trait is displayed, still trying to figure out the exact correlation however.

Homozygosity for all traits selected upon is almost upon us and I suspect Pinkie will be a true IBL within 2-3 generations :D 100% of the F7 plants grown are now displaying pink/purple buds and over 80% have a very thick coat of trichomes. Most plants also carry very similar vegetative characteristics and the terpene profiles seem to be limited to 2 distinct phenotypes ([pheno #1 fruity,citrus,cheese[-----[pheno#2 menthol, berry, cheese])

With all plants of interest pollinated from group #1 I no longer have a use for my male so I will be rubbing off his trichomes to document all of his relevant traits including terpene profile (aroma) and then scrapping him.

I apologize about not taking more pics of better quality but ive been really busy and when I tried to sit down to take pics I couldnt focus any shots and started getting really frustrated because I was really shaky after the gym (leg day) I will try my best to update the log with fresh pics every 5 days or so (better quality hopefully lol)

random pics of select pinkies (pollinated)

DAY 47
This..... is who Ive been looking for....
Tall #1 aka Plant #3
-Pink Buds
-Extra frosty
-Vigorous Veg
I got so I excited when she started exhibiting all the markers I aim to hit I immedietely pollinated her with the F7 Pink males pollen and started spraying 2 branches with Tmist!!! This is the Winner ive been searching for!!!
