Sounds like you've tried a couple of things, being that old they could be tough to germ, usually a scuff will do it if they're viableI have about 20 seeds I wish I could pop. They are like 7 years old, which I got from an open pollenation of a mixed seed pack from Peak. Hard telling what might be in there. It was a baggie I found that I had randomly named T3...haha. I bought some gibberellic acid, came with no instructions or measuring spoon, and the sellers warehouse burned and making contact has been fruitless. I tried an H202 soak, and lightly sanded shells on 4 with no luck.
No problem, just ring if you need any help for the first batch. Collecting the pollen is the critical stage, it's absolutely necessary to keep the pollen as dry as possible or it'll be useless or very low take.Sweet if it's ok as this run gets closer for me I will bug you for some info, never done it before and don't want to screw it up...........
Sorry, missed that step, yes just plain water, let it sit to evaporate any nasty's and spray it well including any leaves below the area you hit. Water essentially kills pollen, your pollen must be dry when collected and kept dry for storage or it won't work.With what?, Just water or something special?
I didn't try the gibberellic acid because I don't know how much to use, and its felt like I have bigger fish to fry in the grow roomSounds like you've tried a couple of things, being that old they could be tough to germ, usually a scuff will do it if they're viable
Yeah I've never used it so don't have any experience with it but google should pop up something if you want to try it.I didn't try the gibberellic acid because I don't know how much to use, and its felt like I have bigger fish to fry in the grow room
That's what I said, this one's the smaller one weight wiseDamn!
Damn again, but good problem to have hey?That's what I said, this one's the smaller one weight wise
Cheers JD, very impressed with the genetics, two vigorous ladies and a killer male from a pack. Will be having a look to see what other reg treats they have over there at ACEThe profit of patience. Nice!
What is Triple Mix?I still use the AN Grow/Micro for veg and Bloom/Micro for flowering. Typically every other watering 400-500 ppm through veg after 3 weeks or so, once they establish a decent root system. 50/50 Grow/Bloom through the stretch and then Bloom to the last week or so. That's in a 50% triple mix/50% pro-mix medium. I adjust the grow/bloom/micro mix based on the analysis on the bottle depending on what they need, but not the total ppm. Don't use a lot of it and it does what I need so haven't really had a reason to move away from AN. My baseline with this feed/watering schedule is ~ 1 oz./gallon of medium with the CMH in 5/7gal for the Blue Dream and Blue Ripper (other strains are lower yield). Anything less than that density with these 2 strains I'm attributing to recent light/cycle changes, all else being equal.
Sorry for all the questions, reading the thread and I'm just past page 50. What causes the leaf twist that a few of those in the pics above have? I keep seeing it and was just wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong?Pheno hunt update on the Blue Ripper F2's. out of the 13 seeds, I culled one of the original 13 which wasn't going anywhere, plus one of the four initial testers. I have PM in my area and it's always around. While I can control it with the environment I keep my veg environments in the 60's for RH, it's better and it also flushes out PM prone strains/phenos right away. One of the first things I look for in strains/phenos is their resistance to PM and have seen it enough that I can recognize the beginnings of PM. One of them had some spots on it which were looking like it so got tossed.
The rest are looking good so far. 12 of the new batch @day 9 and 3 of the original testers @day 20: Of the 3 at Day 20, the one bottom-right is looking very good, no defs or any signs of weakness, nice structure and vigorous.

A couple of those colas got too close to the lights if you mean the cupping of the fan leaves on the Panama P6 above. Temps have been steady and not all the colas on that one had that so it's light/heat stress on the one's that were too close to the light..Sorry for all the questions, reading the thread and I'm just past page 50.

I mean if you expand the post I replied to and view the attachment. It was a bunch of seedlings during a pheno hunt.A couple of those colas got too close to the lights if you mean the cupping of the fan leaves on the Panama P6 above.
