Featherleaf's Perpetual Grow

[Featherleaf]

The pics right side up.
The Damnesia has already turned all the way back up since taking this pic -_- Damnit Im going to have to tie her town.

All 4 Snowflake Kush seeds popped with taproots.. Alarmingly quick o.0 I only put them in water last night. Put them into rockwool and covered them with a bit of rockwool from the sides.
Giving the clones 2-3 sprays a day.
Pic is my new seedling/clone tent IN ACTION, sitting ontop of my new mother tent.

I have SLH x Bubba, Truthband 707 and Blackband, all fem... But I have a regular strain that I have been dying to plant.
Its my premium seed sources greatest cross. When I got their seeds, I had asked for their best strains, got about 10 strains some reg some fem. They said Blue Dream x The Black regular, they call it "Dark Dream", is a huge yielder and turns purple if you can keep the temperature low. Is their greatest cross
What do we think? Go with a fem strain or Dark Dream?

Id go for the dark dream and be happy i got a male so i could take some pollen. Thats just me though

 

[Featherleaf]

Holy crap why didnt I think of that!
How long does it take for pollen to release from male plants?

I can't wait to see that Snowflake....

Males take a little less time than females. I keep a close eye on them until the sacs start to droop and swell then I put then in a room away from the fems an wait for them to open. I carefully snip off open sacs for a few days until I have a bit of pollen. Then its off with their heads! Lately I have put the male tops in a paper bag which can triple the amount of pollen that I collect by cutting the flowers by hand.

Gave the entire veg tent a water. Some of the top coco was extremely dry so I used a spray bottle to wet it before feeding. Still took a LONG time to stop repelling water. But all plants were flushed with nurtient solution at 1000 PPMs, only a little higher than usual as theyre getting big.
I had 10 litres left over from feeding the plants in veg, so I added 20 litres to it so I can give the girls in flower more of a watering rather than a feeding. Although I can get away with feeding with every watering, before Bud XL starts being added (around week 4-5) I like to give my plants 2 feeds of VERY weak nutrient solution, so that when they get their next proper feed, they have a clean slate and are hungry.

Thanks man! As far as growing goes I am not too bad, however breeding and tricks of breeding are ENTIRELY new to me so that info is gold.
I have a perfect spot for a breeding tent too. Its a part of the house that is completely seperate and has its own circuit and window. I also have an old small tent I could use. I packed it up because its zipper sounds like a chainsaw.

Pictures of the Damnesia clone I have, its mother is in my flowering tent. I am going to grow her around the edges of the pot. She DOES NOT need to be topped, she branches like a motherf**ker all on her own, all she needs is to be tied down ;-).
From experience, this is where she gets interesting. As soon as this Damnesia phenotype has to be tied down, she is ready to explode.
I will be taking pictures of all my flowering girls tonight. Im going to start writing on the actual image what the plants are specifically as I have 5 girls flowering at the moment

Looking good. Ima be leaving one of my amnesia 2.0's untouched and just train her like that. The others are getting chopped the F up. Then ill be using one of em for clones . Ill save one bean aswell for later down the road when i wanna reverse it for fem pollen @lazyfish may be able to shed some light on that for you aswell if hes not too busy

 

[Featherleaf]

Pictures I mentioned I would be taking tonight after their watering.
These girls are only just 4 weeks into flower today, gonna be an interesting harvest.
LSD Indica pheno 2 I forgot to take a pic of but its basicly the same as pheno 1 except smaller buds. Got a group pic though after rearranging their positions.
Enjoy

NICE, some plants just respond better to training rather than topping.
The Damnesia I have is STILL the largest plant in my garden and only half the age of the others.
I would love to have a setup where I flower small clones of all my strains and pollenating them with fem pollen. My seed source can get me some, I just have to wait for his next batch

GREAT NEWS!!!
We officially have 2 females!!! They showed pre flowers so I labelled them G13 1 and 2.
G13 and GG Allin are what is replacing my current flowering LSD and Damnesia in 4 weeks.
Because I am taking clones, this means that on my next grow after next, I will be growing clones from premium phenotypes of atleast 4 different strains.

Bang tidy mate. Im gonna be real picky about what i keep about for clones as i loooove getting through as many strains as possible. Im taking clones of the amnesia mostly for experimentation purposes. If its not up to the high bar im setting i wont be taking clones after the experimental clones are done. Im thinking of taking clones from my strawberry banana though. The description said its a sativa hybrid but this pheno is definitely looking more indica in leaf shape and plant bulk but is still stretching outwards with training quick and evenly like a sativa, i love it. Ill be taking clones before flower and obviously once its done and smoked upon ill decide if its staying.

 

[Featherleaf]

Better news!
We have another female.
Culled 2 G13 males.
I now have 3 GG Allin & 3 G13 females.
Only plants I have left that aren't sexed are the 2 G13s that took a long time to germinate. They're only JUST going into veg whilst its 3 siblings already show female pre flowers.

 

[lazyfish]

I clone everything nowadays. A couple times I found something really special but didn't think of taking a clone until I knew how awesome the buds were.

Nice. I can't wait to see some buds around here,

 

[Featherleaf]

Pics are of my 3 G13 x Cali Orange Bud female plants that all have female preflowers.
Now that I officially have 4 different strains, it wont be long untill I can take cuttings from all 4 strains and put them ALL into my TurboKlone at the same time, achieving atleast 4 different strains running per grow.
Damnesia
LSD (Indica 1)
G13 x Cali Orange Bud ( most likely G13-1, I had to tie her down)
GG Allin, not sure which plant is best yet, will decide when I feed them next

 

[Featherleaf]

2 Snowflake Kush seedlings have popped up looking for light!!
