Grand Daddy Purple S1 & Pre-1998 Bubba Kush S1

[PotChimp]

It may be that there's no purple on this other GDP S1 because it's too early:

It seems to be turning slightly dark if I look closely enough.

On one cylinder, it seems like. And then there's my bad days.

You know the other thing that seems to change in life,, is the calendar...... Keep that cylinder well oiled......

 

[PotChimp]

That cylinder's so banged up December's starting to look like the next page.

Getting ready to oil that cylinder I can't remember which weight to use for the Summer, Jakk Daniels no7 or DonQ 151.....

Here's the primary GDP mother again. What I thought was a male flower I can't find on it now.....

I'll get some pics of the seedlings up soon; they look the same as the last pic. I'm gonna plant another GDP S1 seed I got out of one of the purple buds a while ago and a GDP seed I got for free but don't know who did it to replace the two seedlings I lost.

I've got to get more soilless mix, but all of these GDP seedlings are getting five-bladed leaves so it's time to move them under my MH. I've got some rearranging before I can, so it'll be a few days. I'll get pics up when I do the change.

 

[PotChimp]

Sorry it's been a while, but I've got most of these GDP plants transplanted and under my MH now. I'd have to count again, but I think there's 14 plants to choose a father from, 4 GDP S1 clones from one mother, and 1 struggling clone from a second GDP S1 mother (the main 4 are on top and the other 1 is buried in the canopy):

I took 2 more clones from the second GDP S1 mother that look okay, so I think I'm set. I hope I get at least 6 males to choose from.

In a few days I'll be choosing the GDP male for this breeding project. I only got about four males (the mother was S1, so it doesn't surprise me). Here's the plant most likely to be the father:

The main stem has purple stripes, the leaf petioles are dark for no real reason, and the shape of the leaf blades reminds me of the GDP plant I kept for a few years. I think it might turn out purple.

 

[PotChimp]

The last round of GDP f3 x GDP S1 seeds were almost all female. I was lucky to even get a male. And it turned out that male wasn't even slightly purple, neither were the mothers I picked (another GDP f3 x GDP S1 and a GDP S1). I've got those seeds put to the side, but not getting any purple offspring (just like with my prior GDP more-haired, less-haired breeding project) made me want to go in another direction again, which is taking two GDP S1s I like and pollinating them to a backcrossed GDP S1 male offspring (pollen from that last GDP f3 x GDP S1 father put onto a GDP S1). This round of seeds were mostly male (I thought there were only going to be four), which helps a lot. I picked a better father and just now got them going under 12/12 In the back is my GDP father, front left is a clone from a dark purple GDP S1 mother, and front right is another clone from a second pick for a GDP S1 mother (it looked a lot like the one I kept for a few years):

I've got a good feeling about this GDP father turning purple:

Good thing I planted those two free Grand Daddy Purple fem seeds I got from my last order; I think I may only get two or three females from this mess.....

 

[Skybound]

Who's giving away GDP fems? Shit, an order from there would be worth it as expensive as those genes are. If you're looking to cheat, you can diminish P and S to promote reddening/purpling of petioles and stems, though I get the feeling you're in search of genuine purple genetics.

I purchased seeds from TSSC this past year, and they were one of the freebies I got. I know they're not original GDP seeds (I don't think that the real source does fem seeds), so I don't know what to expect. I never contacted the seedbank to see who the breeder was, either.

 

[PotChimp]

Note: I just looked, and those GDP fem seeds are listed under The SSC Platinum Collection on their website. They've got a few fem versions of strains that the original breeder didn't feminize.

They do now offer fem seeds of most of their offerings. I have heard the new GDP seeds are not as good as the first few releases though.

Here's both of those GDP freebies (I just transplanted them and put them under my 250w MH):

I'm thinking of writing an E-mail to TSSC and asking them who the breeder was.

I hope that father gets purple; the main stem and petioles on it are pretty dark.

Nice breeding chamber chimp

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks. It's actually a locker I bought for growing; it was a ripoff, but I put a different light in it and it works okay.
I want to get the rest of these GDP S1 x GDP f3 mother rejects going under 12/12, but I have to chop a few more plants before I have the room.
