That sounds like it would be tasty for sure.I'll have to try the pollen collection eventually. I'd love to cross the Peyote Wi Fi to the Cherry on Top & then cross that to the Glue Cookies (Wi Fi Cherry Cookies).

OK, been a few days since my last update so here we go. We'll start out with a couple of group shots of the 5 x 5. Everything is growing good so far. I'm currently up to 3 grams per gal. on all the 3 gallon plants.
Here we have the 3 Peyote Wi Fi Clones. Girls are ready for an up-pot to 5 gal. bags. Just waiting for the bags to get here as I ordered them on the bay. Roots are coming out the bottom of the pots now. So here's the pics.
Next we have the 6 Cherry on Top Bag Seed plants. So far it looks like I may have a 50/50 split as 3 plants are a good 6" taller then the other 3. Still early on though. Anyway, Males grow taller faster so they can drop their pollen down on the females. So height can be an early sign & give you an idea of which plants to keep a close eye on.
Be back soon to finish. Have to go feed the flower room. Lights on in 5 minutes.

Damned, Peyote Wi Fi's branches are starting to get heavy & spread out a lot. Going to have to put something around her to hold the branches up soon. I pretty much just let her grow wild once I put her in flower so she has branches & buds forming everywhere.

Back to the update. So here are the 3 Glue Cookies. They've been topped once so far & get fed at 2 gr. per gal. They are ready to go in 3 gal. pots this weekend when I do the rest of the up-pots. Couple more weeks & I'll be flowering these babies !
And here we have the clones to determine sex. They should be rooted by the weekend & will go in 1 gal. pots & straight to flower. I'll be setting up my 3 x 3 tent for these clones since I'll need it to use for a drying room soon.
There are 6 of the Cherry on Top & 2 of the Glue Cookies in the Cloner. Only have 8 spots to clone so 1 Glue Cookies will be a Mystery. Hoping to get 1 Male Glue Cookies & 1 Female Cherry on top to let pollinate to get seeds from.
Well guys, I have pics of the Flower Room too but it will have to wait till tomorrow as I need to resize them. Kind of tired & have to get up early to take wife to the doc.
See you then !

I'm back .... finally. Been a long day. But got to post the Flower Room pics so here we go. First up is the Peyote Wi Wi.
She is getting huge ! Biggest, bushiest plant I ever grew .... lol. She's kind of unmanageable to be honest. Branches are already getting weighted down & bending over some. I'm considering wrapping a SCROG net around her before it's too late & branches start breaking. On the bright side ... She's Frosty as all F_ _ _ ! She drinks about 1.5 gallons every 2 days. She gets 6 gr. of MC, 3 ml. of Cal Mag & 3 ml. Terpinator per gal.

Here's a few pics of the other 3 girls. A group shot.
Here's the Bruce Banger which has turned into a nice little bush.
Here's the White Widow. She's filled out pretty good also.
And the Gorilla Girl. Not sure what's going on with this girl. I think I got some other kind of seed mixed in. I grew this strain twice before & it didn't look anything like this plant. Looks Sativa to me.

I ordered another light yesterday to see how the new cheaper white LED's compare to the Mars Hydro TSW 2000.
The light I ordered looks like the TSW 2000 but the measurements are about 2" shorter on both the Length & Width sides. They're calling it a 2000 watt (Actual Power Draw is just over 200 watts though). Has Samsung LM301B diodes & an IP65 Driver. I bought it to start seeds & clones in the 3 x 3 tent so it might be OK. Was on sale at 1/2 price so I paid about $135 for it. Ordering another TSW 2000 this weekend.

Hey Nunya, I think you've done breeding & I'm wanting to try it. I have a question about it. If I take a Male Glue Cookies & put it with a Female Cherry on Top would it produce crossbred Strain seeds ? I'm looking to do a 3 way cross over my next few grows. If the above produce a crossbred strain, I was planning to find a male in that bunch to cross with the Peyote Wi Fi. The Glue Cookies & Cherry on Top are Reg. Seed grows. The Peyote Wi Fi are from Fem. Seeds.
Anyway, if I accomplish the 3 way cross & grow out a Female & then spray a branch with STS will the seeds be all Fem. Seeds or will they be regs ? Not sure how all this works & you seem pretty knowledgeable on a lot of issues so I figure you will know.
Out of curiosity, Do you sit around & study stuff all day in case you get called for Jeopardy ? I think you might do well if so.

Damn it again ! I ordered grow bags on the bay. 1st order I placed well over a month ago. Seller never shipped & wouldn't reply. Took 3.5 weeks to get a refund. Placed another order for the bags with a different seller. Ordered Tan Cloth bags so I could compare them to Geo Pot bags. Today I get an email from the seller saying they ran out of the Tan Fabric bags so they sent me a pack of Black bags with 2 more bags in the pack. They didn't ask me 1st if that was OK. They just sent them. I have a feeling it's those crappy Felt Bags I do not want. I just threw 20 of those in the trash. So now I'm stuck between a rock & a hard place as my plants needed up-potted a week ago. My advice is Do Not order grow stuff from the bay. Too many crooked B.S. sellers. Issues all the time with them. Ebay SUCKS !

Sorry to say I've never done any breeding, I am just a seed buyer.
Don't really have the spare space for it.
My wife has egged me several times to get on Jeopardy because I usually beat 90% of the contestants when we watch it.
I think I might crack under pressure though, unless the universe lined up for me that day and all the categories were something I was familiar with.
I've had a few shows where I would have come in dead last and quite a few where I knew every single question.
I've seen lots of people here breeding seeds though I am sure they'll chime in.

Get yourself some Grassroots bags from Buildasoil.
They'll be at your doorstep in a few days.

The plants are looking good Buds Buddy, nice work 
As for the breeding questions, - to the best of my knowledge
If a male pollinates a female it should produce regular seeds, however some crosses might not produce as stable or as good of results.
With breeding I've done I look at the lineage & either cross a Indica dominant & Sativa dominant plant, or a Sativa dominant or Indica dominant plant with a hybrid, or even 2 hybrids that show show separate dominance - each that have different lineage & I've had decent results.
&
If you do breed out a strain you like, I think having it produce feminized seeds itself would be much like taking a clone off that plant, basically it'd reproduce the previous results to some extent.

Unsure about STS, but if you successfully reverse the sex of a female plant by whatever mean & use its pollen on another female or itself the pollinated female should produce feminized seeds.

Well either my old grow bags shrank, The new ones are bigger then what they say, or the bag of soil got smaller .... lol.
1 Bag of FFOF usually fills a 10 gal. pot so a bag is pretty much 10 gal. of soil .... Right ? So If I'm up-potting from 3 gal. to 5 gal. I should be able to do 5 pots since there's 3 gal. of original soil. I should only have to add 2 gal. of soil for the up-pot. Didn't quite work out that way this time for some reason. I think my old bags shrunk a lot ! I was only able to up-pot 3 plants (Peyote Wi Fi) on a bag of soil. Oh well, went & bought 2 more bags to finish up-potting over the next few days. Waiting for the pots / soil to dry out.
My new little light should arrive tomorrow. I've changed a few things up so I'll try to get pics tonight & post in the morning. Till then ..... Party On !~

Well I F'd up growing the big one. It's too big & all problems now. All her branches fell over from the weight & she has at least 4 weeks to go. I mean branches on the floor & a couple snapped. Not sure what the hell to do about it so I just wrapped it in a SCROG net to hold the branches up. Looks like hell ! If it survives & doesn't Hermie it will be a miracle.
I'll never "NEVER" grow in a 10 gal pot indoors again; unless it's SCROG. I should have trimmed a lot more too before I started flower. I guess I know what happens now when you grow too big & bushy of a plant. I'll stick to my 5 gal. grows from now on. I never have a size issue with them. This one just got too big for me. I'd hate to lose it as I'm sure there's over a pound of weed on her.

Well she looks a little better in the pics then she does in person. She was sticky as hell. I'm sure I smashed 1/2 the Trichs trying to save her. As you can see she got Super Cropped (not by choice). But she still has some nice buds forming if she makes it without going Hermie on me. I'll give her a couple days to recover & then try to rearrange the branches better.
Here's a couple pics of the other 3 girls.
