That last picture is incredible man. How are you getting that close and crisp?
That shot is roughly 1 megapixel cut out of the 24 in total so I don't actually get that close apart from zooming with the lens. Using same method as with the others, macro mode with default settings, plants in the dark (so flash goes on), lcd finder off so I actually look through the camera. Aim (hold button half way pressed so seeker light goes on), wait for automatic target lock, and press button all the way.

Played America's Army? Remember your training. Exhale :)

Hold camera like so:

I'll keep working at it.

Some of the seeds on the AAO. Main buds still clearly have some time to go, plenty of white pistils but as you can see, some amber on these lower seeded buds already.

Planted 38 of the CHxCH seeds two days ago. In soil. One of the most eager:

Wow, great thread man!

My mouth is watering! How do you get those leafs to get so shinny with sparkling dots?? o_O

Gotta love it. I'm pulling up a chair. =)

I honestly have no idea when or even if. I expect to spend at least another 9 months on the P cross, possibly longer. I'd love to see others grow a strain I created but only if it's great and ready. So far I just have breeding stock, still have to create a stable line from that. If that works out, I will let you know cause it would be awesome to see what you do with it.


Some fresh trich shots: (nr22)

Same plant, still in the lead, loving the orange pistils.

Another smaller (relatively :) ) bud. I expect it will foxtail a little, it has a bit hazy bud structure. Considering the high calyx to leaf ratio I can't say I mind, it's similar to the F1.

Not my best pic:

Nr 20 is less frosty but... added to flower closet last transitioned last, it was a replacement for a male that was in tubes. Gave it little space, trimmed a lot of branches so sort of the opposite of topping... it's massive and super compact. I try not to grow such large colas because of the high humidity especially this time of year, but she's near the fan and intake so I have good hopes.

Late Night, yield sucks, not really worth growing except for the trich pics. I'm keeping the seeds to maybe someday borrow the taste/smell genes, in addition to the frost.

shit put me on for some of that for shure!!!! DAAAAANNNNKKKKK!!!!!!!

Previous run (P6-F2) is hanging in the flower closet. No root porn this time... a few weeks ago many sprayers in my system clogged and I broke a hose connector on my chiller (flooding the room on the outside of the closet, ie. without pond liner...). On top of that, I refreshed the rez only 3 times during the entire veg+flower cycle. Wanted to see how far I could take it... well, with clogged sprayers and no chiller not that far at all apparently... I'm surprised they all turned out ok, but know they could have turned out way better.

The hempy plants did serve their purpose though. I knew I was never going to produce the same buds in small hempy bottles as in my tubes, but figured if one turns out way more frosty or has a special taste... actually, like I mentioned at the start of the F2 round:

If none of them whorl and none of them is unique/special enough taste-wise, I'm going back to popping F1 seeds
I'm a little disappointed with the taste/smell of the swan. Strong, but not specific enough. Not necessarily a problem because I know the male I used is dominant for the pine smell (from the chunk), but there's one, nr 4, was in hempy, that has a unique new smell/taste rather than the CH grapefruit and chunk pine or mix. It is sweet. And I love sweet (opposed to just skunk or spicy haze), so I will definitely be popping seeds of that one. Nr 19 was the most compact and most frosty some of her offspring will get to play as well.


First a round of CHxCH. I don't know what generation they really are. DNA genetics sells CH as being suitable for breeding. That should mean it's not an F1 and F2. And not really F3 or F4 either but that would probably be wishful thinking. It doesn't matter either, this is just breeding stock (one of the parent lines of the end goal, a true F1 hybrid).

In addition to these small ones I already have three CHxCH plants that are tri-whorled (whorled phyllotaxy with 3 leaves on the same level). Some posted on previous pages. From the 35 above (each under 3x18w T8) I hope to find more tri-whorled plants (the CH dad my four crosses are based on had quad and triwhorled branches). The goal is to cross more than a few tri-whorled females to the strongest most neat tri-whorled male. The offspring of that I will cross back to the same male, for several generations.

And yes, in soil. Since WP is the main trait of interest, and I want to remove about 26 of the 35 and rearrange and repot the rest I decided to do a round on soil. I may totally fuck this up. I've grown super healthy plants in soil a few times, but I suck at manually watering plants. May set up a drip system or blumat system for the 9 or 10 plants I eventually flower till the end.

I'm currently using an organic house plant soil mix for the seedlings. Which I know from experience is too hot even though it's organic, the frequent watering releases too much nutrients. So going to pick up some gold label soil again. I'll probably get some worm casting and fish or seaweed emulsion but don't really have to invest in nutes sort of speak. I still have tablets that are complete already (stick in soil, dissolves slowly during the cycle), bacteria (for a tea) and symbiose fungi, bat shit, and palm tree ash. And some liquid, from organic extract, bloom nutes I probably won't use at all. The bat shit and palmtree ash maybe neither, or as a topdressing. I've done a Sugar Punch run in the same way before I switched to the tubes, but in huge pots.

The 35 are now around the size I'd normally move plants to the tubes. Going to use the flower closet as dry closet for a few more days, maybe a week, and then I'm going to use the 400watt to veg for a while. Need to rebuild my entire room before I try out the elite agro bulb.

Nothing going on right now-----having to buy weed sucks big time!!!!!!!

Great looking ladies from I see from your very good camera work.
