Staker's 2017: SSSDH, Killer Purps, Dolato, Candyland & Breeder's Test Grows

Wirh these finicky eaters is might be a good idea to up soluble Mg by lowering Ca. 7:1 is the High Brix golden standard, but maybe 6:1 will do the trick... maybe a shot of potassium and nitrogen in between. Hard to say, but you need to experiment. Sooner or later you'll figure it out.

Good to know that's the rule of thumb, and I'm not far off. If this next mix is a move in the wrong direction, I do as you suggest, and I'll skip the extras like the crab shell, and half down the Azomite, and see if she still needs a Mg bump. For this next mix, that 20:3 amendment volume was increased significantly, so that it's probably around 8:1 total, but they release all at different rates, and should be closer to the 20:3 during the first couple/few weeks. Still expect to have to give her a pinch here and there. Experimenting will be fun, and smoking the 'mistakes' lol, appreciate the input :Namaste:

Never overlook simple bone meal to your mix. I double dose my soils with it, and they still need an extra blast during transitioning to flower.

Good looking out, this girl will probably want extra too, so that's a great idea. Our friend BL turned me on to this liquid bone meal, and that's what I'm using as boost instead of RAW P. Smells like candy milk of magnesia, they seem to like it, they are getting nice and tight. Thanks NCW

That would be amazing! As I said the ECSD clone has been something I have wanted to get ahold of since I started growing. I am surprised more breeders havent released an S1 version of it. You could even make your own ECS-Chem D and see what it will bring out for you. I have been thinking more and more about collecting pollen from something. When and if that will even happen is hard to say. Staying within my limit is challenging enough with just females and even though I have spare lights I dont really have another spot to flower out a male.

I'm sure I'll probably have a plant orgy at some point, maybe it's best to set up some clones to flower just for that purpose. Or even reverse one thing, and hit everything in flower. Just for some fun fem seeds. I could do that pretty easy bonsai in coco, but I have to mix and check it, or mix it daily. Soil, well, that's easy enough, but slow. OK, so slow it is.
 
Getting close on some of these girls. Slurricane is getting obscenely coated. I'll get her out once more for photos before chop, just waiting for her to color up a little bit more.

SSH F2 making the final push, she's a very quick pheno.

SSH F2

ECSD in coco about 38 days in of 77. So like 40 days left. She's a big girl already, and pushes in the last couple of weeks. Soil girl of the same shape right behind her, and 3 bushes ready to rock for a last run to go in with another D.

Yeah, that really is very pretty. I like your style.
 
Thanks guys! I'll be doing a lot that has been done already, by actual breeders, but that's OK as far as I know. I won't be able to select from a large pool, but in smaller numbers, I hope to have a greater chance of coaxing out the potential in each. What this SSH run has taught me is that with certain lines, there are ways to get the plant you want if you bracket the median expectation with filial opposites. And that SSH can throw some serious frost and stink. Helluva plant, she's as frosty as anything in there, Slurry and D included.

I'd say Slurricane is close. She's 49 days today. Going to pull at 56 I think, unless she ambers hard in the meantime. She's about 3 days from peak color, so I'll get her out later in the week for her photoshoot.

Here's a tease. :) I tried the smoke and it's encouraging. Flavor is great, and it's got some Punch lol.

There's a set of Sour bushes in soil waiting for space. :)
 
If you need testers, I believe there is a guy in South Africa who would do his best to do them justice. ;)
 
So pretty. It needs to go on this page too. Great stuff CS :drool::adore:

Thanks bro. You'd make a great tester. I would expect some keepers from these type of parents :) Sounds like some good fun. :high-five::roorrip:

She's fat and hairy lol. I've seen more frosty phenos, but I like the smell on this one. :)

Thanks Dusty and Jim! :passitleft: I tested some too and it's not a bad smoke. Better than I was expecting. :) Happy Daze!
 
So, I'm about to upload some Slurry pics and it looks like I missed her peak color, but she still looks pretty good. Here's some D, and SSH-sativa while we wait. :)

I haven't been posting this girl as she's not been as interesting at the others, and there's another SSH in the tent. But, she's a really nice plant. I suspect she might be the better smoke of the two, and will certainly yield better too. But, there's something about the Indica leaner that speaks to me too, it's as if she's an outlier worth looking at. Trichs on both are mostly cloudy, and I expect this Sativa lean to go 70 days, and the other to go two weeks quicker at 56. Big colas, great great smell.

SSH Sativa lean day 41 of flip

Chem D clone day 41 of 12s, she's made it through the crucial 6th week without destroying her canopy, and is on the stroll to finish pretty well. Although she was much worse going into flower than the last pair, I fed her more and have learned a few of her ways, so she'll finish much better. She smells like Chem, with spice, pepper, and burnt tires and fuel. There was a RKS smell that is now gone again. I belive it may come back around harvest, chop and dry. It's very distinct this run, so she's telling me she's happier. I have a new one Vegging, and I was thinking of putting her in a 7gal, but I like being able to feed quicker and more often in a smaller pot. Since I 'feed' her, it's probably the best size for how big I'll let her get.
