so how do ya'll keep a dad around? Do you keep a father, and take clones off of him to flower out with moms clones? Or do you just one and done them? Do you grow the fathers out fully after they pollinate the mother?

My last male pick, i flowered out a lot of males , and slowly started picking them off as they failed testing , or if other where surpassing some. It came down to 2 , I was going to use both n test , but into flower 1 was dumping 10x as much pollen and seem to be an overall faster pheno.

I took the tops n put n water away from everything, to collect pollen.
I removed all balls, and put back into veg .
I have a lot of pollen stored from him , but he is a little bonsi tree in veg , waiting to be cloned when ever needed .

I got 20 beans I just popped to look for another , I’ll try to member to take pics .
But things been crazy here, managed to save everything but been a shit show.

Don’t ever cheap out on a AC in a sealed room, it’s the heart , with out it , everything goes down.

Sorry for your HVAC woes, brother! About to throw my pick of your Honeystomper x HH crosses into flower, (again) stem rub aroma is amazing! Grapey stankonia.

Both sweet Dixies are cracked and transplanted. Stoked on these and thanks again amigo @Amos Otis 20190203_180401.jpg

I chopped my purple phone of black dog yesterday at 55 day or so of 12/12. Mostly cloudy with plenty of amber. Even the lvtk was far enough along at 55 days that I chopped it too. It was cloudy with little amber but that shit can be couch locky so I want to make it less so.
This purple pheno is definitely the aesthetic winner, nice colors more frost and she is a squat little oak tree looking structure when topped. She will get chucked. 20190202_220000.jpg20190202_222133.jpg 20190202_221951.jpg

Looks good man! I dont believe I went past day 56 either. Very tasty weed and shes pretty too. You look like you got yours to put off a bit more than mine. Whatcha thinking of pollenating her with?

@BigHornBuds Hickok Haze and C99 crosses and @macsnax Cookies and Chem 1 variegated and 1 had trouble poppin the helmet. I hate starting seeds under fluorescent and after having them inches from the light and still stretching and falling over I dropped 60W of cob in there now they are doing better and so are the vegging clones but I dont want them to get out of hand so with the added light they are going the be pruned and maybe even shielded with some of that photography fabric I have.
I went back and looked at this. I can see a familiar leaf crinkle/twist, expect to see some purple stems too.

Sire = [(Dogtrap) UWPurps x Locktite] x [(Golden Glue) Jew Gold x Locktite] that I call Goblins Gold.
7 days since flip. I did a first round of Male culling yesterday. There is still a few unditerminant male or female plants, this early on.
Bubby Hotep = Bubbas D x Goblins Gold
Looking heavy on the Indy side. Short and fat, just like I like em. :bigjoint:

I'm gonna hit her with the next good male I get. Right now I have 2 grapes sato (miyagi x grapes 13) in flower and both have very nice stocky structure and if one of those is male I'll collect pollen from it. Then I also have two roasted garlic margy seedlings which I may use if the nicer one is male.

Then in a few weeks I'm gonna reverse my blackberry pheno of black dog to make fems and I will bx these two phenos together.

I'll probably keep her and the blackberry pheno till I find something I like better.

Shadowplay = Malawi x Goblins Gold
Only 1 confirmed female. High male to female ratio. :x
It's looking as if the Goblins Gold is taming the African Sativa side. The stretch has just begun however, I shall see.
Malawi is some special weed. It got me so stoned, you know how you feel after smoking a heavy Afghan, but I was wired at the same time. Like I wasn't in full control of my movements.
Zombie weed! :twisted:

Like a true chucker I just one and done it. ya win some ya lose some. and I don't sell the beans so I don't need to keep a dad around to make a ton more in the future in the event they turn out great.

the better the starting material, better the end product.
This is C99xHH Haze99 that was seeded and had the seeds picked during drying. Mostly small lower buds theses where cut a little early because my AC died n had to make room for others . CDD75D29-425C-4769-9C71-6E56815F5E67.jpegI broke the buds in my fingers to look for more seeds I missed when trimming(7)
Made sure it’s even n to the corners. 09F3E377-B347-4F92-BE86-A2F713D07A92.jpeg3065380C-E98B-4273-89FF-E7F82BFCFB30.jpeg

Make 4 parchment paper packs 0E22A87A-4E69-44EB-9243-DF28A1A1B1C5.jpeg
I rip a piece, fold in half then half again.
I have played with directional flow folding, I have found it to be more of a pita. Then it’s worth, it’s only better for taking pics, making it look like a lot is coming out. A8EA0862-F745-4DEE-84B5-04884D6D2B97.jpeg
This unit is off. This gets me 190CAB108D1-1305-428C-9C21-37634D0F6BA6.jpeg1556C007-CC65-4BB5-B001-DA3C81E356A1.jpeg
I put the bag in the PP , bring to 1ton , as the pressure falls, I increase pressure , at this point it’s been a couple min,
