Hello there fellow Americans and other nations.
Im not new to the forum as I have been scoping a lot around for a decent forum to post my delicious Resinous plants ( well not yet but soon to be ).
This site has a lot to offer and with America so close to better MMJ laws this
must be the place to do it.
Anyways, I have 5 years of growing experience and been growing a lot of different strains ( mostly from Amsterdam ), but about a year ago I was introduced to the breeding method, and then I where on my way to amsterdam to select my seeds for the sexing.
The choise where pretty hard but I think I made a perfect choise for parents/genes.
I went in to Sensi Seeds ( in Amsterdam, red light area ) and bought the following seeds:
Afghan #1
The plants from the fast, heavy, compact side of the cannabis family tree are named after India, and it's true that these strains are commonly grown for charas in the mountainous north of the country. However, the most perfect examples of the dark, ultra-resinous Cannabis Indica genotype are actually found hundreds of kilometres to the northwest, in the mountains of Afghanistan.
Dedicated students of Indica bloodlines often refer to these varieties as 'Afghanica' when speaking of their favourites and as 'hash plants' when talking generally of the strains found across India, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Many Indica-heads prefer their ganja without a trace of Sativa or Skunk, while some purists will only consume weed or hash that they know to be 100% Cannabis Indica
In years past, the most determined Indica-lovers have journeyed all the way to Pakistan, then across the Afghan border into 'hashish country' – the high reaches of the Hindu Kush between Chitral, Mazar-i-Sharif, down to Kandahar in the south – in search of pure, unaltered local seeds which might be brought home to grow into the Afghanica of their dreams.
A more reliable and cost-effective option is simply to obtain a packet of Sensi's Afghani #1. The very best parents from our unparalleled range of Afghani cultivars have been distilled into a single seed variety that gives growers textbook examples of the Afghanica genotype every time.
Anyone looking for a compact, fast easy-growing indoor strain capable of copious yields and almost-frightening resin production need look no further. Whether growers want uniform crops from seed or outstanding pure Indica mother plants to fill their flowering space with dynamic dark green clones, Afghani #1 has it covered.
Even first-timers find it hard not to succeed with this strain, and growers who bring out the full potential of Afghani #1 rank her among the finest original Indicas to be found anywhere.

White Widow
Winner of the numerous Cannabis Cup awards - White Widow!
White Widow is the most potent cannabis on Earth and is named for the abundance of trichomes, giving the plant a whitish tint. It is also one of the more powerful strains of marijuana (alongside AK-47 and Afghan Kush) with a very high 20%-25% THC content.
White Widow original seeds are (60%/40%) indica/sativa cross-strain and is best suited to indoor cannabis cultivation. Our original seeds grow as high as 35-80 cm with the yield up to 450 gr per m2. It's suggested to flower (12 hour light) this marijuana variety for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will really give you the crystals you are after. Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as crystal to protect the flower! The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all.
Our White Widow original seeds produce plants that give you the taste of freshness laced with many fruits, because of the strength of the cannabis crystals - the only real taste goes hand in hand with the expectorant effects of the THC. You better try it for yourself. The smell is strong pungency. It first hits you, then follows a sour sweetness with the final whiff ... turning sweet. If a plant could have a strong body odour then the White Widow needs a deodorant.
Cannabis smokers adore its sweet, thick, acrid smoke that imparts a hammering stone. Extremely powerful. Experienced smokers only.
We offer you various strains of White Widow - the backbone of the White Label Seeds industry and one of the most famous marijuana strains in modern growing. Check below. Satisfaction for every taste!
I have crossed them both ways White Widow x Afghan #1 and Afghan #1 x White Widow. I pollinated the girls 3 days ago and the hairs already show sucess with the pollination ( hairs turn brown and dries out when they are pollinated, they will then start producing seeds).
The plants still has 6 weeks before ripe seeds, but I have just popped 50 from another seed harvest, and I still have 50 more that Im gonna popp in next week.
Pollination method I used
I popped 20 seeds, 10 of each strain ( Afghan #1 and White Widow ). I flowered them after 5 weeks of harvest ( a little lait due to a small vacation, but no worries, just got little to tall ). After 2nd week of flower I coud see the sex on all the plants and killed 16 of them leaving 4 very healthy big plants ( 2 of each strain, 1 male and one female ).
They where seperated in different rooms ( not just different tents, they produce heavy loads of pollen, so you need to change room also ) and flowered normally for 2 more weeks.
After 4 weeks into flowering the buds will be well established on the females plants aswell as the males ( males are usually a lot bigger as they flower faster ) , and now I pollinate my plants.
I collect the fallen pollen by shaking the plant, and then paint with a paint brush. You need to collect some pollen, so I just cut down some male flowers and used a Hash Shaker ( a hand machine that you can make hash with ) that has a screen for resin, but also works for pollen. So I just scrape the bottem and paint my buds ( very important to leave all fans off if you have othe females in room ). I have a couple of other females, so I have now kept the fans of for 3 days, but I keep exhaused system running 24/7.
You will see the buds forming in 3 - 4 weeks maybe before, but a way you can determine when they are making seeds is if the white hairs suddenly turns brown/red and dry up, Good sign.
SOG
The method I use is a well knowned one in my area, and not so used in restricted area as you are in need for much more plants in same space.
I can also tell you that dealing with seeds is 5 times more pain then clones with this progres, but I use seeds as I find that much more interesting.
Imagine this, I need 16 females plant in each tent for this to work properly.
The way I do it is popping 50 seeds and flower all 50, usually after 14 days I can select my 16 girls as they are maturing way more faster then the rest.
I follow every plant very closely and keep notes on all the seedlings as they are filling up the space. There will be a 1 plant little less pr sq/ft.
LS Training
Many people like to Trim the plants or topp it, but I can't use this method as my veg time is so short and cant afford a stunted grow.
I find that Low Stress Training is more plessuring then the above methods as they are not stressed as much, and will usually be back to normal day after.
I thigh them down so it grows more like an horizontal "S" shape.
The low bud sites will then shoot out and grow intact with the main top leaving 5 nice colas per plant.
Hydroponic
Hydroponic is the only way you can grow SOG easy and the Ebb and Flood table with net pots are very good for air circulation. The pots are 20mm and table is just under 1 sqm, that will be 16 plants on one table ( I have 2x ).
The 2x resovoir takes aprox 90 l and should hold for 10 days.
I water them 3 times a day with 15 min of running each time. But that is in late flowering, I always start with 2 times a day ( when lights go on, then 3 hours before light go off ).
Grow Space
I have 3 grow tents, The smallest of them I use for seedlings and preflower also. The size of this tent is 31x31x62" and I wil be popping 50 seeds in this tent using Rockwool as medium ( 1" then moved to 4" rockwool ). The 50 seeds wil take 1 month from seeds before this progres is repeated.
The other 2 tents are bigger and messure 39"x39"x80" and contains an ebb and flood table each. The 2 tents are always at different stage of flowering ( I can only have max 50 seeds in the smallest tent at same time ) with 1 month in between ( I have harvest every month ).
Light
HPS lamps are the lamps I use for flowering, and use CFL light for seedlings and vegging. I have 2 CFL lamps, one is 32w and used the first week for seedlings ( 1 inch above plant, this makes the stem and plant not stretch ), then switched to 110w FLC ( 4 inch from lamp as this produce more heat, but still limited stretching ).
After the FLC vegging for my seedlings for totally 3 weeks ill switch to my 250w HPS ( not cooled ) for pre flowering ( determine sex ), this stage is for 2 weeks usually.
I then select only my best females out of 50 regular popped seeds and move them to the empty large tent ( the other tent is 1 month from harvest as there are always 1 month in between ).
The 2 large tents has 400w HPS lamps that are both Air cooled to keep a perfect degree of 80 degrees ( the 2 large lamps are also on at different time, so when one of them goes off, the other one goes on, this helps with heat also ).
I have superb reflection in all the tents and 45% hr.
Neuts
Neuts where not an issue for me as I have been using Canna products for many years, always gives me perfect results and very easy to use.
I keep them stored in a refigirator on 45 degrees. I also keep my seeds stored in same refigirator.
The medium I use beside the rockwool is clay, if I forgot to mention it.
Im taking pictures now, ill be editing and answering comments in a couple of min, max 1:30 h
