Featherleaf's Perpetual Grow

[Featherleaf]

GREAT NEWS
After just 3 days of 12/12, we have 3 confirmed GG Allin females! I wasnt expecting to see white hairs so damn early so I put them back into the veg tent so I can grow them out and inspect their phenotypes.
I was taught that reverting to veg any longer than 5 days into flower will cost 1-2 weeks of growth. Hopefully I am truly in the sweet spot.
I also ordered more supplies, and will be making some interesting changes and/or additions to my little spaces mid next week.
I am also going to try and find a better way to get natural light pictures.

If ya wanting a flat canopy may i suggest giving @Asesino85 quadline a try one day. Works wonders

Oh man, that is one I forgot!!! I believe some people call it mainlining? THATS a good idea to try next. I'll start researching it tomorrow

Mainlining is different in that there are just 2 main arms with branches coming up in the middle. The quadline leaves you with 4 main arms with plenty of middle growth.

Lem x bubba and snowflake are my votes

I have grown the SLH x Bubbas before and they were truly SWEET smelling buds, easy to grow too! After 7 days I had to attach the carbon filter, I will try and find pictures of them tomorrow.
I want to try the Snowflake Kush 100%. I may plant all 4 seeds, just in case they turn bad as quickly as some sources say. All the other seeds I could find again, but not these ones I will never have the opportunity to get more Snowflake Kush, it was a random freak chain of events that wont occur again lol, so I may germinate them tomorrow.
I may plant 4 snows and 4 SLH?

 

[Featherleaf]

hi again buddy, you really do have some time on your hands
I'm also grabbing a spare chair... Where's these cheese poofs lol...

LOL, I love my routine ^_^ only problem is that I am finishing things earlier and earlier need more projects!

Sounds good. Id wanna preserve that snowflake. Id get cloning and start tryna get some silver thiosulfate going to create some female pollen from em and pollenate a few branches

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

Just had a read up on mainlining. Gonna give that a try with my next photos i run

When you make female pollen from a female plant, is the pollen genetically identical to that specific plant or just to the specific strain????

Just the strain. You will still get different phenos. Mostly cos i think its not viable to pollinate the same plant with its own pollen. Clonings the way to go if you want identical plants bud

I have a spare tent, 70cms x 70cms, that I am now considering setting up with a filter to make my own crosses I have a spare filter, light and everything haha

Sounds like a plan!!. Thats about the same size as my little one. So you're gonna be going the silver thio route? Word of warning do not consime the bud that you hit with the STS. There are tricks to keeping it from the rest of your buds. Or you could just grow one quick send it to flower and keep one bud just for pollen purposes but who wants to grow a plant you cant smoke lol

Yep I will be going with the silver method, I dont mind sacrificing a small plant Can you do it to clones?
I think I will choose an LSD clone to practice getting pollen from if it doesn't matter, I took LOTS of clones.

Yer you can do it with clones. I know I said you will get different phenos but a good healthy plant that you like will carry those strong healthy genes. @lazyfish or someone else would be best equipped to answer genetics q's though

 

[lazyfish]

I think you can do it to clones. That is something I am just starting to try right now.

Sweet! I love finding a good female! Question: Why do you put them into flower only to put them back into veg?

You might play with the settings on your phone or camera. I have to change settings on mine when I take pics under HPS versus under the Sun.

Mainlining is different in that there are just 2 main arms with branches coming up in the middle. The quadline leaves you with 4 main arms with plenty of middle growth.

I am going to try the quadline when I go back indoors this fall.

I like the way that snowflake sounds! I Can't wait to see it.

Cheers Friends,

Hey there! I wanted to thin out the herd by finding males, but after trying to operate in my flower tent with so many plants inside it, its only a matter of time untill something drops or falls :-(. So instead I put them back into veg after they showed their sex and set up another small tent to put my clones in to make room in my veg tent. It was only because they showed sex after just 2 dark cycles that I put them back in veg. The others however.. The rest of the GG Allins, they have taken too long to show sex so I will not be able to put them back into veg. Instead, I will be monster cropping the remaining females in flower, which is also called taking "flowering clones", when they hit week 2.5
ME TOO I think it is settled that Snowflake Kush is definately the beans Ill be dropping into water today

 

[Featherleaf]

Oh dear, somebody, anybody, got a violin?
4 GG Allin males culled. 1 more has yet to show sex.
Fed the big girls today, took pics etc, will upload tomorrow morning.
Started giving them a low dose of Terpinator. I currently feed my girls at 1000-1200 ppms and they will start needing daily feeding soon.

 

[Featherleaf]

I fed the girls last night, so I re-arranged them and turned the pots.
The Damnesia plant is just relentless. She is the tallest and has the most bud sites. The Damnesia was the result of a successful Monster Crop, and when she entered the garden she was LITERALLY 1/4 the size of my LSD plants. I have included an old pic to prove it. See that tiny little shitty plant with single bladed leaves? That was the Damnesia clone just after she was put into her veg pot. She was pheno hunted by a friend of mine, I traded him my best LSD for his best Damnesia. He takes flowering clones and only flowering clones, weird right? But I cant deny the results o.0
The LSD Indica phenotype 1 and 2 are growing as Indicas do, chunky buds ontop, but I am starting to see some absolutely insane Sativa style bud stacking in LSD Hybrid phenotype 1. I made a seperate pic for a little close up of her. Considering taking a few flowering clones off her and the Damnesia plant.
Some of the plants in the veg tent are in need of feeding so I am mixing up nutrients. I mix my nutes by adding A and B 1 hour apart, then I add full strength additives 15 minutes apart. I keep an air pump agitating the water. I then remove roughly 6 litres of full strength nutes and put into a seperate bottle to feed the girls in flower, PPMs are usually 1400-1500 so it needs to be diluted down to 1000-1200. Then I dilute the veg solution with a few litres of water so its not too strong. I like to feed at 2/3 strength.
I already have many established clones of Damnesia and LSD, so I wont take any more. But the G13 x C.O.B and GG Allin's all look as if they are ready to be cloned, so I cleaned my TurboKlone to get it ready, put light nutrients in and PH'd it. When I feed the plants in veg tonight, if a plant can be cloned, they will be. I will take pics etc and upload tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Featherleaf]

Took clones from 4 of the G13s but only put 3 of them into flower, the 3 smallest. I bought a tray for them to safely sit in today.
Also took clones from 2 of the female GG Allins. I would have kept going and gotten clones of the rest but man I'm just tired today..
I'll upload pics tomorrow
