Well this is new to me GiG. I a first really. But I'd imagine I'll be able to collect enough pollen from the host plant to cross afew others. I understand abit about the process and what all happens, it's just going to be a little trial and see what happens. Hell I got a small mother tent I can throw a 250 cfl in and do acouple. It looks like this stuff is not really cost effective but 'could' be the best 20 dollar bill I ever spent. I've been wanting to work on that Cripit Strain This flip is about the 5th or 6th time I've grow it out. But there is a strain I have I've thought about alot. What plant could be better than the most awarded plant in the cup. Least I think it still is, AK-47. Got the clone from Alaska. Oh BTW here's a pic of her, AK-47;
I always shake my head and wonder why I haven't tried her cept maybe the cost. Was like 20$ or close per regular seed. But got some now. Not sure of the vendor maybe A-1 will sound out later. This is probably the one I'll end up using for male pollen. I just have to watch close and catch some pollen for some other strains. I can't see why you have to self it onley unto itself. Should be female pollen anyway it goes. And that leaves alot of room to play around with. I generaly need faster flowering strains for my outdoor grows. Possibilities are endless. So hopefully the fun begins. And the AK-47 is just about ready to start.
Another one I've always wanted to grow out. I'd imagine it's from BC seeds. God Bud. I've heard horror stories about the wicked smell she produces. Sounds like what I call 'stinky icky' herbs. I can see she wants to stay short. LONG velvety leafets. She looks alittle cold in the pic's. But then it is abit cold out there. Don't matter the lights are on 24/7 the water in the pots seems to suck in any cold from everywhere. Iwant to get one of the digital gun thermometers and compair areas aroung the tent. Miss J strung up another blanket around it the other day. Ramble ramble. The God Bud;
Star-47 is stll kind of young. I think shes bout duhhhhh damn that dubie worked abit. hell she's got least 10 or 12 days to go. She's been a decent plant. I grew Sensie Star before and loved the plant. This plant really packs on the buds. I really think blasting my buds with that little extra from the 1500 watters really hardens up the buds alot. Hopefully next winter I've have 2 going in there. I think I'd run into heat issiues come summer. Star-47;
Speaking of ballasts. I'm kind of leaning over to getting a set of Quantum 1000 dimable's for spring and summer months. I don't want to have to deal with AC so I down size some come summer when the temp's take off.
Btw we, me and my other, got our first sample off the AKxSkunk. I took the sample at 52 days, and she did my right. I just took another sample bud . I figgure taking a sample every couple days kind of gives ya a good insight on exactly when to harvest. Right now is day 54 and she's running 5-10% amber. I want to let this one run till she's 30-40% amber for a change. The plant doesn't have that roadkill smell. Kind of fruity/spicey fragrance. Might be a keeper. Going to yield good for sure, maybe 7+ oz's, knock on Wood. Pretty gold color too.
Ok now for the best smell in the flower room. SLH. I love the smell and taste of this one. Great 'Up' smoke. I think I could give up ciggeretes if I rolled a pack a day up and put these in my smoke case. I don't know what people wood think if I smoked that many dubies per day. I smoke alot. 1 1/2 pack per maybe. Put me in a casionand I need 3. Ok, SLH;
Well that's about it from here. Just a note, Cripit was started flowering 4 days before the Vantage. This Vantage is catching up fast. She's getting some meat on her bones, and sparkle, wow packing that on. Last time I grew Vantage she produced leaf buds. And a friend 'Sisco' grew some and had same results. Cool to see a bud forming at the axis of the leafets. This is another I'd love to get female seeds from. Now I don't want to hurt anyone feelings but I prefer seeds over clones anyday. A plant grown from seed has a tap root and that root is the most important root on a plant Kind of like the terminal top on the plant. Makes for the best roots and anchors your plant better to the grow medium. But at 50 per 5 seeds it gets costy. I'd love to have 500 female seeds of a strain of my choice. What really makes sense to be is femseeds of a good 'lowrider strain'. Man could grow two maybe three crops outside per year. I have had acouple auto flower plants that impressed me. Russian something or another. Well if i missed anyone seeing it's taken me afew hours to finish this I hope alls well. And Keepem Green
