9 plants (5 strains) in a 2x2 tent

02/02/25

Week 3
Switching light cycle to 12/12 for the next 4 weeks. The last 3 weeks of flower, I will gradually reduce light by 1 hour weekly. Im curious to see what happens.


I top dressed half a tablespoon of 4-4-4 pellets last Sunday. Today I noticed some of the lower fan leaves starting to fade on three of the plants. Im going to top dress 1 teaspoon of blood meal today.
Watering 1 cup every other day. All the plants are really liking that schedule and portions.


SFV OG

Purple Valley Ice (sativa dom pheno)

Amnesia Haze x Sour Strawberry
The Amnesia Haze stretched more than the other plants. Pretty surprised by that. Both Amnesia plants were significantly smaller than the rest, yet now they are they tallest. I will be keeping a cut of this plant for a while. It is super stable and practically impossible to induce rhodelization through any form of stress. I put the mom through the ringer and she kept growing undisturbed. Also, the terps are one of my favorites. Sandalwood and citrus. Its such a simple and delicious terp profile.
I made F2 seeds but I harvested the plant a little too early. So the seeds look premature. I'm going to flower clones of both dad & mom of the Amnesia Haze to make better seeds. The Amnesia male is incredibly vigorous, but it did throw female pistils when I light stressed it. Ideally, the father plant should not do this. My plan is to find a stable male in the F2 lot, to continue refining this strain. I dont have a name for it yet.
Both MTF and Valley Ice males that ive kept, do not throw female pistils when I light stress them. This is a simple way to test a male and see if it is stable or not. Incidentally, I successfully pollinated two small branches of the Amnesia with my purple Valley Ice male. Curious to see what happens.


Picture of premature seeds,
F2 Amnesia Haze x Sour Strawberry.
Im going to plant all of them in 2-3 weeks, just out of curiosity.



Males can herm. Although, it isn't as obvious. You will notice only a few pistils on a male that herms.

Week 4 on 12/12
All of the plants are drinking 1cup of water a day. Half a cup in the tray, half a cup for top soil. Im trying a different method of watering to see if it makes a difference. I top dressed half a tbsp of 4-4-4 pellets today.

The SFV OG seems to be Nitrogen monster. Large Fan leaves are fading. The blood meal has broken down, and the new growth is darkening. If I decide to run this cut again, I will remember to hit it with 2 tbsp of blood meal in week 1 of flower.

I pollinated a small branch with my purple male. I'm going to stabilizing this strain again, with a vigorous SFV OG male. Its on my list of projects.

The purps is just trudging along. Easy to grow, light feeder.
The Amnesia Haze x Sour Strawberry is looking delicious. Easy to grow, moderate feeder. Really frosty compared to the other plants.
The Amnesia Haze x Purple VI cross pollination is looking great. I will probably end up with 80-100 seeds. I dusted three branches on the smaller plant.

Week 5 on 12/12
Everything is looking good. Plants are liking the watering schedule. 1cup of water every day. Half a cup into the tray and the other half over top soil.
Both SFV OG clones are drinking 2 cups of water a day. The root system must be massive at this point. Ive noticed bananas on both plants, but no seed development. This sterile banana gene is annoying. When this plant was grown in the greenhouse, it did not throw bananas. So, its being caused by some indoor environmental stressor. Not sure what is causing it, but it honestly doesn't matter to me. Its going to take a few years to stabilize this strain again.

The purple VI is also throwing sterile bananas . I did pollinate one bud with SSH. The Silver Haze male that is in the living room finally started dropping pollen. I'm really tempted to run all of the F1 VI x SSH seeds in the greenhouse this year. I have tentative plans to do a sea of green in the greenhouse, testing 200 beans of the F4 VI, but I might split the count 50/50.... 100 F1 PVI x SSH and 100 F4 VI.

Last but not least, the Amnesia is looking happy and on point! I noticed 3-4 seeds developing on the cola, but that is just stray pollen from the controlled pollination that took place 2 weeks ago.


Thats all for now. Cheers
