Hey My Friend Sue

Recap Update Cause I like how Artekey does it.

Oct 29 day one

end day 2

End day 10

End of week 3

I haven't been feeding daily yet they still dont dry out (wish they did) but they use the res up in 2 days and dry out in 5. I expect this will change soon as they finally started some vertical growth.

one male is acting weird, (posting pic) feed is the same I thought I dryed it out. I tried a few varied feeds, swung ph a bit over a few days (6.2, 5.8, 5.4) added ca-mg+ still looking worse.

The greenest and healthiest un sexed plant, received full strength lucas from day one (second photo). So they will all get Lucas from the morning on when water is warmed up.

Day 25

end day 28

Staminate flowers are opening, Moved to flower side and placed in front of fan. I find the structure and vigour of both plants to be uniform with well distributed clusters. Both flowered nice and early and have proved to be acceptable as parents, great stable well known genetics to use for Cross breeding.

Day 31 this is my favorite Female. I will seed all others but this will be the Grade 1 seed imho For purebred strain.

Males day 31 blowing loads all over every day. I keep them in one tray, so they are a little bunched up. But very uniform in structure.

Day 35, Nothing but lucas and ca mg+ in a coco hempy

Day 40,

So all fems received regular feed to saturation plus 50% runoff as flush. Trimmed up the dragons and put them in with the males . I wiped down the closet while everything was out. I use 99.9 methanol mixed @ 1:2 with water and a few drops of soap to clean up pollen dust. Because this is an open pollination with males from the same genetics I am brutal with pollen. I am not useing cornstarch or flour to cut the pollen or useing a makeup brush to paint it on. I put the male in front of the fan and shake it once a day. Pictured are the results.

Seeded buds and calyx to Day 65 + 500 Seeds so far.
