Hey all!
Well I'm still spraying my Trainwreck 1x per day with CS (approx 50ppm) and spraying only the nodes this time, instead of the whole plant. I also am only spraying the 2 main tops, while leaving the others alone in hopes to get male pollen sacks on the 2 branches I am spraying, and seeds on the other tops from self pollination. We will see what happens
So I flipped the trainwreck to 12/12 on the 6th, and that brings us to day 4 of flowering. I Imagine within the next 4-5 days I should see the first preflowers pop.
I plan on running the trainwreck by itself in my 3rd tent for about 2-3 weeks, right until the pollen sacks are getting close to opening which will be in about 2 weeks or so. At the 2 week mark I will move it into the tent with the 7 other ladies and flip them to flowering which they will be on day 1. Since it seemed to be around day 30 or so if I can remember that pollen was dropping, that means that I can pollenate the girls when they are young and make sure to have a really hardy seed harvest, with most being fully mature when I yank the plants.
In the past I started both the same time, and got about 60% or so tiger striped mature seeds, and the rest were either young, premeture or somewhere in the middle. I still got a lot of seeds that run, but starting them this way I can probably bump that percentage up to around 80% mature if things go as planned
that will be awesome
Well I have a surprise too.... so the dispensary that I got the GDP clones at is still in business, and they had a long period of time they stopped carrying clones... and just recently I killed my GDP clones on accident and so I had to reveg the late flowering plant. Although it was revegging, I never got the chance to breed with it yet, and wasn't sure what a reveg would do to the DNA or potential future offspring (epigenetics possible?) so I have been following the dispensaries menu for quite some time now. Just recently they started to carry clones again and I've been like an eagle watching them for GDP... well they finally got some clones of GDP the other day and I was so excited I rushed there directly from work to pick them up.. I inspected them under their magnifying glass and they were beautiful, no pests, or any mildews or mold I could see so good news. I browsed the menu and low and behold they had Private Reserve OG. Not the seed version but the clone only version which when you look at the phylos galaxy, its way out at the furthest section of the OG kushes. Then when looking at the relationships it seems to be related to all of the claimed original OG's, which is awesome!!!! Not only that but its been bred to the point of having very little variation, which means if I self it, the likelihood of the progeny (offspring) is very good that they will mostly be very uniform in chemotype and phenotype. I'm excited because it will not only be great for keeping a dank og kush in seed form, but also since its close to homogenous, it will be great for breeding with another very stabile genetic and hopefully I could witness true hybrid vigor which would be awesomel.. I do have my eyes on some columbian landrace for this purpose
Among my journey to get clones I also picked up a skywalker og which is the opposite of Private Reserve. It seems to come from the same family lines as dogwalker og and sour diesel and has a high potential for variety in the progeny. This one should also make for an excellent strain to cross with another strain like GDP which a high potential for variety to see if I can get some unique phenotypes.
So overall super excited!
I know my goal has been to reduce the amount of plants I have... but I couldn't pass up having 2 powerhouse OG's on deck, as well as getting my GDP that I love so much
Anyhow, not much else to update right now. I will get some photos when things get more exciting.
hope all are well!
