A full shot of the GDP S2 orphan seedling:

The next original GDP to chop, not looking too good:

GDP S2 seedling, after a dose of compost tea:

In the upper left corner of that pic are the GDP clones from the original I'll be treating with CS. They're just starting to take, so it's going to be a few weeks before I start.

I'm glad to see Your s2 seedling doing well. That flowering clone looks good a well. I take it you will be making s3 seeds with the seedling. Are you going to pollinate it with itself or backcross it to the original clone?

 

[PotChimp]

I'm going to do both just to be sure. I think this puts me back to S2 for the backcross seeds, but the selfing seeds will be S3.

GDP plant flowering under a 600 watt HPS; my records say 3 weeks and 5 days from flip, but it looks further along to me:

Yes it does, great job, happy plant.

Cool I got this GDP clone to take

I can cull the little cutting that I put in the same pot as a backup (see it in the upper left corner?).

I wasn't going to show pics 'cause my fingers were stuck together from chopping a Hippie Killer plant also but I didn't want to waste the opportunity. Here's a Ken's original GDP plant part way chopped:

It was a small one I didn't get much

I think I'm going to keep that small clone in the pic above; I realized today that I need to get another clone of it soon and that one's already rooted. I've got another clone of this in flower but the light's off. I'll get a pic of that one up tonight. The S2 seedling is hangin' in there

I still have 3 big nugs of that in a jar stashed away. lol I may just have to grind it up this weekend!

 

[PotChimp]

It smokes up fast around here
Here's that orphan GDP S2 plant:

.....and a GDP clone from the original I'll be using as the other parent:

 

[Laank Dank]

wow this is amazing

This is my strain that i want to gro. Out of all strains this is the one.

 

[PotChimp]

It's my favorite out of the plants I've liked enough to keep. I've done a lot of things with the original seeds too. I've pollinated a female GDP clone with Thai Stick pollen once, did two GDP x GDP crosses with the original seeds I bought (1 GDP father in with 2 GDP mothers), put one 818 Headband clone in with them too and made seeds for that (I just got done growing 2 of those plants), and what I'm doing here, which is taking this GDP pheno I like to S5.

Here's my Grand Daddy Purple S2 plant:

I'm going to get this S3 project going within a few days. I'll top this S2 plant and use the top as a cutting, then put the topped plant and another original clone under 12/12. I hope that by the time the females show hairs the cutting takes root. I'll fully spray the cutting and one or two of the bottom branches of the topped plant for male flowers.

 

[Governmentchz]

I don't say much PC, but I dig your dedication and I dig seeing this project endure.

 

[TheGreenYeti]

Man Chimp how quickly they grow up. She is looking good. I too enjoy watching this unfold even if I don't say much. I am really interested in seeing how stable you can get this strain.

Thanks This original GDP took some heat the other night from tweaking my tents. If you can do it in your arrangements, always pull air from the top of the tent where the reflector is and bring it in from the bottom. The plant's okay but the hairs are crispy

This Chemdawg D BX3 next to it didn't fare as well:
