are phenotypes found in both sexes? are there plants that have phenos exclusive to one sex?

also, what is an sts solution? dont bother answering cause i'm googling now. but Just stating that I dont know what it is I guess

edit: found this link about it: https://steemit.com/cannabis/@thecleangame/how-to-make-and-use-silver-thiosulfate-solution-sts-for-feminized-cannabis-pollen-featuring-the-gorgeous-early-dane

sounds simple enough. I think I'm gonna try it.
Phenos in both male and female there bud. That's why you hear so much about people hunting males. It's a pretty low percentage of males that are going to raise the bar.

I guess more specifically what I was trying to ask, is if a plant typically showes say 5 different phenos of a female, would it have the same 5 types of male, or would they tend to be different? May you only find 2 or 3 traits vs the 5 in the females? Or maybe you answered that too and I’m just reading too much into it.

Think of these plants like children. They're all going to be unique and have their own personalities. Some similar, some not.

View attachment 4314165Everyday it gets a little better

Should have the rest of the pots & FloraFlex this week,

Something that didn’t occur to me when moving the pumps , was keeping prime.

Have to install check valves in all the outs .

Other then that, works as it was designed.
I was gonna ask about that, thought you were probably using self priming pumps. What about just reconfiguring so pump head is under water?

Keeping the pumps primed , simply was forgotten about until I turned one on.

The pump would need to be underwater, I have a 1” line sucking from the bottom of the res, (like putting the head underneath) adding the check valve to the bottom of that will keep the pumps primed.
When I setup the test section, I had the pump in the res, and with all the moving parts , it was going to make problems .
The 100ltr tote will not handle 3 days so I’m switching to 50g res’ and they’re not going to move , just two pipes from the manifold .

Actually, I think putting a flapper style on the outlet would provide for a solution with less flow restriction and thus less load on the pump, if that's at all an issue.
Guess I should ask, what style of check valve do you have?

Edit, if it's not obvious, I've never designed a hydro system.

I’ve been hand watering , n just found the problem last night, going to check a few local places tonight, if they don’t have it , I’ll order theses 31FE1613-D030-4AE6-8C12-6C33BF5D754C.png

Looks like those can be installed horizontally but you'd need 2 or a reconfig of the pump outlet to tee setup.
Could probably just take the spring out of those if it ends up creating a flow restriction. Maybe look for one that is vertical install only?

Meet my newest creation. This here is Sour Magnolia. She is my Cackleberry 4 x Jelly Pie male I hunted last year. The pollen was fairly old and not kept well. I wasn’t sure I’d get any seeds.

I have the mom in flower and she is a cherry diesel leaner with some OG looking fatter leaves than the cackleberry. Frost is forming on the fans already so that is a good sign. Hope she stays stable.

My Deputy #1 branches are fat with seeds from Lemon Meringue male. About 15 more days and I’ll see what the deal is.

I still have the Lem Meringue F2’s to make and a jelly pie #7 to hit as well.

Zephyrus 16 is stacking upView attachment 4314643
This is the most bud I’ve seen on a plant this early.

Frosty tooView attachment 4314644
Nice to see everything getting back on track for you.

I seen some cats on the growing with fishes podcast talk about DIY'ing shelving into tables, apparently it's a thing. :)

I got my floraflex all setup last night, didn't sit great on the uneven pots that are 1/3 done flowering. Next round will be better I'll make sure the pots are more even. Did the trick though. Impressed, no leaks.

were a bit tricky to get around the stalks too but w/e.

Looks real lots like 4 MonkeySkunk girls! Nice and bushy responding well to LST and branch pinching!

3 weeks in on Greenpoint Black Gold F2s and all 3 are doing well with one that looks like a sprawling pheno I had in the original pack. It was 4 weeks from planting to flower and yielded 2 once in 6 qts recycled organic mix!

51 days on 4 Copper Chem f2 building mass with no fade and plenty of white new flowers. Expecting 9 to 10 weeks or so. Most beautiful plant is least tricked up so far but all quite similar and very much look like Black Gold plants! Smell dopey but no ID on smell beyond lemon/citrus but something else is there.
