Pinkie Pie!!!!

[bf80255]

went through and weeded out a bunch of males, still have 9-12 males per batch in 1 gallon pots still developing for selection and pollen collecting later. these are female for the most part short of 2 or 3 slow developing males per bunch but ill get them soon enough.

of all the males I did find 1 hermi boy with pistils.



the rest of the pics are males in a 1 gallon next to a single female ( someone else will be growing her out)
some males shown from the top (light purle on most)
some shots of the totes and a couple piles of males (many more were killed during this photo op)

 

[bf80255]

down to 17 female TD X PPF4
17 female A1 X B1 F6
a bunch of mixed B1 F6
still some mixed B1 F5
mixed A1 F5

its hot as fuck and a bunch of different pests are hitting them, well see how they react.

 

[bf80255]

here are the 1 gallon pots holding my strongest growing and most vigorous males
B1 F5 and A1 F5 will be pollinated by the B1 F6 and A1x B1 F6 males respectively.

105 degrees of nut drenching heat!!!!
these little guys are hangin in like champs tho, had to give a double watering today because by 12 they were already starting to look dry.... im not exaggerating here either, this place feels like Iraq! hahaha im talkin cant go into the light without sweat beggining to drench your ass!

lots of pistils and plenty of purple calyx all around, first 5 pics are just the totes from a couple of angles the 6th is of a tray of A1 ive yet to transplant ( transplanting helps me control final size and lets me see who copes with stress the best so its a vital part of my breeding strategy) and the last 2 are the B1 tote which I beleive is now 100% female ( ill know for sure in a week or so)



and heres a pretty little A1 boy

Jesus.... I could only dream of this....

 

[black jesus]

I guess I'm not far behind you. I'm ending week 2 I believe....I just hope out of 12 I can keep at least 8 females...yeah my hopes high but we will see. I just hope to get big yields which would lovely for my 2 auto grow.

O.O 105f damn i was bitching about 95 the other day

I have some of the widows on week 2 in like 4 gal's and some 60's in 1 gal's , one of my hazes in a 5 gal tub .... i think its all female i had a funny looking preflower but they are so small its really hard to sex them the calyx's are tiny and the hairs damn near microscopic >.> 15x loupe and its still hard to see .... I think i might snap a pic after lights on I need to get on the ball

Edit*** here's the haze

lol no its a 12 week old haze , mainlined and pinched , these are really slow growers and take a good 11-12 weeks in flower going to veg it for how ever long this batch of auto's take ( some of the F1's ran 14 + )and let it hog the light , its a positronics purple haze #1 x kc45 F2 it looks naked but i had just tucked the leaves ..... when roots are peeking out the bottom its going in a 10 gal

 

[bf80255]

The heat doesnt seem to be letting up and these little dudes are still puttin out purple buds
first pic is A1 tray
2nd and 3rd are B1 tote
then a group shot then TD tote followed by B1F6 tote then A1XB1 tote
then a couple more group shots.

 

[bf80255]

here are some A1 plants followed by some random A1XB1 just showing the color of the bud and that they have begun to develop trichomes.

 

[bf80255]

The A1 tray has 1 plant expressing the pink pistil trait im after and 1 dark purple plant as well most are light purple and 2 are green still.

 

[bf80255]

F5 Bline tote is doing well.



so are the 3 big totes and the males responsible for pollinating each batch in 2 or 3 weeks.

 

[shiva]

Beautiful... Simply beautiful. Your plants are a work of art! Nice!

 

[bf80255]

one of the TD X PPF4 has begun to display pink pistils and 1 had begun displaying intersex traits and I pulled her (zero tolerance policy)

gunna be on high alert for the next couple of weeks to be sure no hermis slip through the cracks.

 

[bf80255]

sure enough, just as I had suspected the intersex plants are starting to come out and show themselves.

caught this one early in the TD tote ( this outcross tote has been the only one to produce all 3 of the hermis Ive found so far Im guesing the hermi genes are coming from the TD as far as I can tell) pulled the male parts apart a bit so you can more easily see them. Rather than be upset I am actually quite elated! this is hinting to me that my lines have relatively low instances of intersex traits in female plants (still getting the occasional intersex males) and killing hermis is the best way to purge the TD X PPF4 line of this annoying trait.

Aw shit. I hope I don't have this problem. I wish I was in you position but this are the only ones I have going now.

How old were the td when they hermied...makes my wonder if I should buy that stuff that gets rid of the balls. It kills them off some how. I'll look for it now

3/40 is less than 10% you shouldn't have to worry about it.

the only chemical I know that "gets rid of balls" is ethaphon but spraying your plants with chemicals "just in case" isnt smart, just be patient and if you see balls pull them off manually.
