Smoke2Js Adventures In Breeding

Here are pictures of the Omrita cuttings in my "hermie bag".

Soon my prettys, soon.

Its been too long since I updated this journal. I apologize for the lag.
I can safely say that the Omrita Rx3 cuttings did not make it. On the bright side my Omrita Rx 3 that is outside is fully back into vegetative growth. Phew!!!! I was worried , but the plant is resilient. I will take some good veg state limbs from her later, for now she grows unmolested .
The regular seedlings have grown to about 8 " tall and are outside sexing.Today I found two males of my Strawberry Cough x Sour D . The time is close for the rest to begin sexing. I need some reader glasses, having a hard time seeing the hairs of the ladies. The feminized seeds are still indoors vegging till April 20ish, then planted outdoors after taking some cuttings from each.
Pics too!!
Omrita Rx, back to veg . I cut her just above this point

Indoor action!!! These are all feminized or clones.

Outdoor sexing of the regular seeded, the spot they are in requires rotation of the plants one time a day for straight growth .

After

I have two Auto Critical from Blimburn in the ground . Thinking of crossing them with a randy male.

I have found web based resources to be interesting and informative. One of my favorites is Seed Finder, a web site thingy that, well lets have it their own words "collects and standardizes information about thousands of cannabis varieties. We offer an interface for cannabis breeders, seed banks, growers and cannabis-enthusiasts all around the world. With the help of our Seed Finder-System - especially made for this purposes - we are able to collect all important information about individual strains in a compact and searchable way. We enable you to find the tips and tricks for cultivation and growth who are scattered all around the web or to find pictures, profiles and opinions. Help us to expand and advance the single strain-descriptions with your knowledge. Important: The Seed Finder is not a shop, we do not sell any cannabis seed and are not addicted to a breeder or shop. "
Booya.

Hey all, and welcome to one of many breeding sessions to come.

Today I selected the remainder of my males . There are many ways of selection, some more scientific than others. Mine is hardly scientific , more like intuitive. I use all my senses while I look for stout leaves, abundant purple flowers, thick stems, node distance ,mold resistance, pest resistance, time it takes the leaves to face the sun after being turned , red stems from sun exposure, steady healthy growth, stickiness of leaves, soil smell, leaf and stem smells.


After selecting the stud I strip the top leaves, being careful not to remove any flowers, I leave two nodes of leaves at the bottom but remove the flowering parts. Then I place a bag over the plant fold at an angle(pre folding makes this fast) the bottom and tape it closed. All the while being careful to keep the bottom leaves out of the bag, these will hold the bag up while you tape, and supply undiluted light/air to the plant. Mark the bag with date and strain to make tracking easier.

Then after the flowers have opened cut the stem and hang while you get your pollen collection/ storage kit together.

LOL, thanks trichomes. There is plenty to read, lots of strains grown, and smoked in these four journals.
I took a break from major breeding last year to grow out my seeds and see what nature made with a little help from me. The folks I grow for enjoyed the variety of meds. This year breeding will be done with 4 males, all have been selected. Purple Fairy f(Purple Urkle) x m(G13 x Hash Plant) , Omrita Rx3(Romulan Joe x Fucking Incredible) X Peru #2(land race), Strawberry Couch Loch(strawberry cough x sour d), and a special one, very rare genetics, f(Nigerian x Ruby Wand) X m(G13 x Hash Plant) .

I have the traits I want, and I don't want a male popping off and ruining the harvest and my breeding efforts. This morning I pulled the rest of the males . They are in the compost bin, all shredded and stuff. Eight undetermined left, and will be showing sex soon.

 

[Smoke2Js]

Two of the ladies selected, from my Omrita Rx 3 crosses. One from the Peruvian #2 (Rojo) cross, she has reddish leaves. Thats the Peruvian showing a little. The other one is from the Sour D cross, and has very dark purple flowers. I am calling that one Dark Flower. I am already thinking of cloning both to enable a back cross or two.

Omrita Rx3 x Sour D cross aka Dark Flower

Omrita Rx3 x Peruvian #2 (Rojo)

 

[Smoke2Js]

3 undetermined left. 2 of the The Peruvian #2 (Rojo) x Sour D and one runt of a plant from my Omrita Crosses. I also have a runt in my green room from my Sharks Breath x Romulan x Sour D feminized cross. Hmm what to do ... I know, I can put them both in small pots outside and watch the mini plant grow along side her larger relatives.

 

[Smoke2Js]

Glorious 420 !!!!
I was just gifted about 60 seeds of Gilead. It is a feminized cross of Otto and Cole Train.

 

[Smoke2Js]

Meh, I am sick, congestion and feeling cold. maybe that's why its called a cold.

 

[Smoke2Js]

Here is a genetic mutation from my cross of Omrita Rx 3 x Sour D.
Flower growing from leaf stem. She is on her way back to veg and rapid growth.

 

[Smoke2Js]

The plants I wanted to breed with have traits that are undesirable. They will not go back to veg, and instead keep producing node after node on top of node, getting all fractal on me. Great to look at but a bitch to prune and train, not to mention the potential for mold. Meh. Good thing I have hella seeds. So very thankful for that.

 

[Smoke2Js]

These two plants are my feminized cross of (f)Sharks Breath with my (f)Romulan x Sour D. Made this cross last season . I am calling her Bigger Boat, her leaves are huge, also both have grown about 3 ' since 4/20. Both confirmed ladies. I need to take a few cuttings to continue her line

 

[Smoke2Js]

So because of the heat wave one of my Peruvians hermied and shle got pulled. Today I found a male flower just opening on one of my Bigger Boats. I used said flower to pollinate, wait for it, drum roll please Blimburns Critical Auto. Boom. I am done with this years breading, for now..

 

[Smoke2Js]

This is one of the reasons I have decided to put my large breeding project aside. 40 strains to chose from makes it hard. I will do some breeding, one strain at a time, and there will be less stress.
