Grand Daddy Purple S1 & Pre-1998 Bubba Kush S1

Comparison pics
These are all over the place like I've said before. I know what I'm going to do now, though. I'm going to reveg some of these and backcross. I'll be starting seeds for a separate project soon (my third attempt at S2'ing two whorled plants), but I'm going to do a GDP f4 grow to get a father, then pollinate a few of these. This GDP f3 (less-haired mother) is going to be one of them (the second pic is the only other GDP less-haired mother here):

No color at all on the second one.
GDP (more-haired mother):

Original GDP x GDP:

GDP S1s (I'm going to reveg the first and second plants for backcrossing also):

Please forgive the intrusion, just wanted to post this in a few of the higher profile journals.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Thank you for your support, we are truly grateful.

Mother reject chop day here's both of the GDP S1s (I had to throw away half of the first one because grey mold was deep in a few of the the bud clusters, and I revegged the two-headed plant):

GDP f3 (less-haired mother):

Original GDP x GDP:

GDP (more-haired mother):

They're inconsistent. I'm going to do a grow to find a father and backcross to a few plants I took out (I'll get pics of those up later). But right now I plan to start another GDP S1 grow soon. I'll get pics up of the 4 mothers when I harvest them too; just trying to hold out a little longer on the chop to get more color.

Whew, that's some fine looking herb!

 

[Van Stank]

Amazing buds there Pot Chimp. Gorgeous!!

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks guys I wish I could get two of them to look alike though.

Here's the mother rejects I still have under the light
Original GDP x GDP (the top looks similar):

GDP S1 (top has very little color):

Original GDP x GDP (color in weird pattern on leaves):

GDP x GDP (more-haired mother):

Right now it seems to me that the GDP S1s and the GDP crosses with the original plant I was cloning have the most potential. I'm debating on which directions I'm going with this.

All of these grew out like a Kush plant; little stretch and very few side branches. It's hard to tell what they would have looked like exactly, but I can get an idea. Too small and immature, too burnt up from being in too small of pots which dry up too fast and waterlog too easily. But here they are; all four GDP seed-bearing mothers.
The whorled GDP S1 I tried unsuccessfully to produce male parts with CS so I put it in with the GDP f2 male as a last ditch effort to get seeds:

Good frost and potential for color. I'll probably toss the weed because of the CS sprayed onto it.
GDP S1 I put in at the beginning; doesn't look enough like the original, but I'll pop a few seeds the next time anyway:

GDP (more-haired mother):

GDP (less-haired mother):

I'm going to be germinating 10 GDP S1 seeds again in a few days; a third attempt to redo a whorled GDP breeding project using CS. I'm going to continue breeding this GDP project out also (when I get room in my smaller grow units to do a pollination). And I'm going back to my first generation of GDP seeds to get a father so I can cross with these S1s and the f3 I kept; don't know how long it'll take to get that going.
I put two of the last four GDP f3 mother rejects out of the tent today for chop soon. There's two left, but they're still putting out hairs.

Some really nice seedage going on there PC. Have you ever considered switching from CS to STS for your feminized seeds? A lot easier to use and more effective by almost all accounts I have read.

 

[PotChimp]

I've never even heard of STS to be honest.

 

[TheGreenYeti]

I believe it stands for silver thiosulfate. Nismo12 used it in his breeding and I think he only had to spray 2 to 4 times to get some crazy male parts on his reversal. You take two components and mix them to make it and it seems to be the choice of professional breeders. It is worth looking into if you plan to keep reversing plants

 

[PotChimp]

I just read up on it. I may get the stuff to make it and give it a try; it's easier and less of a hassle to make than colloidal silver solution. Thanks!

I have some but haven't used it yet. Looking for a girl I really want to use it on. I have a few ideas on its what I want to do with it. Good luck with it PC!!

Note: I started germinating ten GDP S1 seeds this morning. I seem to be having decent luck (as far as plant size goes) by running the seedling stage at 24/0, so I'm going to do three weeks steady light on these.

 

[MiOutdoorsman]

Chimp how's it going on danger island. It's cold as hell here in Mi. Time for fall outdoor activities. The rut is coming soon

 

[PotChimp]

Life's going really crappy right now for me, but nine out of ten GDP S1 seeds came up; one died though. And not one whorled seedling yet (there's two that aren't opened up enough to tell). One of my light ballasts went out too.

 

[MiOutdoorsman]

Hopefully your luck takes a turn and gets better. Sucks about the ballast bro. Fire up a fat blunt for good measure

 

[PotChimp]

Phantom makes a 250/400 watt digital ballast I looked at and like, but I'll probably just get another Lumatek from the hydro store as soon as I can get there. I put a 250 watt CFL over the plants for now. My luck is total $hit; has been all my life and I got no blunt wraps either.

 

[PotChimp]

Wow only one of the two 3-cotylendon GDP S1 seedlings survived, and it's not doing well:

There's eight of those ten GDP S1 seedlings left; one seed didn't grow. The rest don't have anything peculiar about them (one is off to the left side):

 

[Van Stank]

Hoping your S1 recovers PC. Hate to hear when kids are struggling.
