After much contemplation, ive decided that this year's greenhouse crop will be simply one tray of F4 Valley Ice (MTF X SFV OG) seed.
My general plan is quite simple. I will keep the plants in small pots, and transplant them into the raised bed that is in the greenhouse, around late July. This way the plants wont exceed 5 ft in height. It will make the whole grow much easier.
This is a pheno hunt, with two objectives
1. Make F5 seeds
2. Backcross a vigorous purple male to the f3 Valley Ice mother.
** Important information to document, for my own records**
The Purple F3 male that was selected to create the F4 seeds has proven to possess strong genetics. From my small tests indoors, ive gathered that the purple flower pheno rate in the progeny of the F1 Valley Ice x Brandywine is 75%.
I am expecting 90% of the F4 Valley Ice progeny to display purple flowers.
Selection of the F4 VI male should be rather easy. I am confident that I will find a male plant that is displaying all the same characteristics of the F3 Mother.
