Grand Daddy Purple S1 & Pre-1998 Bubba Kush S1

[katsubluebird]

Sorry, brother, I couldn't go through all 70 pages of your post but I skimmed until I got to the flowering shots of your Pre98 Bubba S1 (in the mid 20 pages) and I have to say it looked pretty spot on - how did you end up liking the smoke (flavor and high)?

 

[PotChimp]

The flavor resembled the chewing gum juicyfruit with a kind of hashy taste. The buzz was better than average, but the reason I haven't grown the last five or six seeds I have of it is that the yield is very small.

One thing that greatly diminishes the quality of these pics using a digital camera is me drinking beer aimin' this touchy mudderfugger is a drag close up but here's a bud starting on the second GDP S1 mother plant I put into bloom lately anyways:

You know how to fix that? Drink another... And your aim will fall inline..

Still pretty.........

Wood is right! When I play horseshoes I'm a mediocre player, but at the end of 2 beers, but less than 5 I'm throwing ringers and 6 packs. For some reason though after 5 I can't even land a shoe in the box most times.

After five I'd probably be trying to get the shoes off somebody's horse
Well I shut off the beered up chimp function on this camera so this pic came out okay. It's four of the GDP S1 x GDP f3 mother rejects from this project all put into one 7 gallon square pot:

In the back row are the last two GDP S1 x GDP f3 mother rejects (far right and second from left). As soon as I take another plant out of my bloom tent, those are getting transplanted to 2 gallon pots and put in. The two small clones in the middle are from the GDP S1 plants I'm backcrossing to (left if the first choice of S1 mothers, right is the second). On the sides are the two GDP freebies I got when I ordered my Chocolope seeds (there's a clone plant of that Chocolope in the back row also; second from right):

This grow was to find a GDP father with potential for color, so unless I see something that I like in any of these mother rejects, I won't be pollinating any of them.

 

[PotChimp]

It looks like this GDP father is turning purple a little. It's hard to see in the pic, but the leaves are doing like the second GDP S1 in the last pic of this post (the edges are turning purple):

Here's two clones of the first GDP S1 mother:

Here's a flower from the second GDP S1 mother plant above (I revegged it):

I need to check in my tents for hermies; a few things are showing brown hairs early.
Here's four GDP S1 x GDP f3 plants (sister plants to the father I have going now):

There's another one in a pot of its own, but it's buried in the jungle I gotta sort things out a little better in there tomorrow when I transplant both of my Tikal plants.

I can see the purple in the leaves a little, but it's harder to tell under the red spectrum CFL.

About to be Jizz blowing everywhere

I need to rig up a way to see inside that locker through a glass panel plus water the plants inside using drip irrigation; I'm always worried about pollen drifting when I open it.

Here's a reveg of the second GDP S1 mother I'm using in this breeding project Man if it had the color, it looks the closest in frost to the GDP plant I kept for a long time:

Here's a pic of that GDP S1 reveg I'm using as a second mother (I just shook that GDP father tonight and pollen went all over the place; I think I see seeds forming on the mothers):

The backcross clones are doing good, too.

Nice Mom! (insert appropriate double entendre here)

How long is needed to produce good viable seeds?

 

[PotChimp]

How long is needed to produce good viable seeds?

I let a mother plant go until it dries up in the pot to get the seeds. I think it's just a little shorter than the normal harvest time (about 6-7 weeks maybe?).

Here's both of those free Grand Daddy Purple fem plants I'm growing (from TSSC platinum collection; not sure who bred them out):

Not a good pic, but here they are side by side (pretty crowded in there):

The last round I did was GDP S1 x GDP f3, and two of those female offspring have a poor chromosome:

I'm glad that the male I picked for the father looks okay; it's the only parent I was looking for. The same next time too. I just want a father that's more likely to be purple so I can backcross to these S1s.

Nice Mom! (insert appropriate double entendre here)

If it wasn't for the dark purple color on the other S1, this plant would have been my first pick as a mother.

I didn't word my question properly. When do you need to pollinate by, like how many weeks after that is needed to make your good seeds? Do the seeds need all of bloom to be viable?
