Yeah, they do alright, man! Just had a fem seed of her, and breeding feminized seed is a no-no. Raises your hermie rate. I wish I could do a seedrun for her!
I dont think I've seen a reg seed available for Powerkush.

Yea, im real happy that I kept 2 clones for mothers. not a lot of stretch either

could be. It really depends on the original mothers and over all stability of the strain. and If you were to breed it the stability of the pollen donor and its tendencies to herm would be in play. If you were to breed her for seed you would need to find a male of a very stables strain with no display of herming in the females, herm males are very rare. this would give you your best shot at a low herm percentage. There is always a chance of getting a few but that's just the nature of things, even in your most stable strains.

Besides... I think that Himalayan Gold is gonna' be the bigger yield in my room. It'll take longer, but I get the feeling my patience will pay off.

Subscribed. I'm making the move to aero right after my indoor is finished. Made the aero setup from StinkBud. Just made a cloner tonight and plan on filling it tommorow.

She's a pleasantly potent 50/50 hi-brid. I say pleasantly potent because it isn't an overwhelmingly potent strain at 15% thc, but from where I'm sittin', it looks like she makes up for it in user friendliness. It's supposed to finish early but(for whatever reason) my particular girl, looks like she has no intention of being an 8-9 week flowerer. 2&1/2 weeks in, and she's barely got hairs. I'm cool with it! She's doin' her thing, man. Haha.
Here's a link, if you wanna' take a peek at the genetics. According to the breeders page, she's supposed to be well suited for outdoor growing. Take a look, man...

You might wanna' get you a set of them, brah. I got two more that I'm putting outside. My brothers got the other two from the five pack. Charged his ass 40 bucks for em'. Haha.

Well I'm going to start off with one aero setup and give it a go before I jump into the 3 setup perpetual. I've dabbled in a bit of hydro a few years ago but now I'm really ready to say goodbye to soil forever inside. I'm just so sick of buying mix then having to get rid of it. Having to water tons of plants by hand, it gets old after years. I just don't see a downside to aero, no media, no hand watering, fast growth, and all I'll be doing is tossing roots.
Oh and yes that's my Grapefruit X NYCD I've been breeding for a few years(origanaly from Next Generation Seeds). Here's a few more early cola shots from 09'. It's a shame though as those football sized buds were moret suseptable to rot. I end up chopping them smaller for drying anyway.
EDIT: I got some big hands too. THis year I'll put an actual football next to them, lol.

i watered dirt for 2 years and almost gave up growing until hydro expo(rip) sold me an aero. changed my life forever man. its really easy to work with.

Got me sold. Just topping off the res, checking ph and ppm. Just seems so simple and so much less work. When I started growing pot, hydro seemed like rocket science, back then it kinda was lol. I did a little ebb and flow and DWC and the aero seems so easy, and easy to maintain.
Quick ? do you run your sprayers 24/7 or on something like 1 on 5 off?

So I just finished loading my cloner and I'm getting drips out of the top where the cover folds over, any pointers? It's a Rubbermade RuffNeck too.
