Thanks, Guys! 
I'm pretty excited about that Dolato. IF she's quality smoke, she'll undoubtedly be a keeper. But, I've watched & read several strain reviews on the Dolato and, while she's always a "good-looker", I've seen mixed reviews on the smell/taste.
Some of the reviews say it's awesome and others say they were underwhelmed with both the smell, even after the buds were broken up, and the taste.
All reviews seemed to agree it was a smooth smoke. One "experienced" reviewer said it was the best meds he's ever smoked and another experienced reviewer said he was instantly medicated after one bong hit.
So, as usual, it's all about the phenotype and the looks can be deceiving on this strain!
That being said, I'm still pretty excited!

Hope you find a nice keeper, it has to be there somewhere

Thanks, Bro! I'm sure I will! I've had 100% success, so far, with germinating the IHG beans and I've only popped one bean of each of the four strains currently in soil. If none of them are keepers, there's plenty of more beans to pop and I'm guessing, somewhere in each of those 10-packs, I'll find a keeper!
With IHG that’s pretty much guaranteed I think!
So, speaking of frosting. The PE autos I have going are well into flower, and have some frosting but not like the WW that I grew out just recently. What are some of the paramters that I can control that would increase the frosting? Does humidity have much play in it? Being winter, like most others in this climate, I have a hard time controlling a high enough humidity. Since the only things that really changed (not including the strain) were the temperatures and humidity should I be looking as those as the main reason? The reason I rule out the strain is I have seen many PE autos that appear to have more frosting. The feeding regiment and soil were the same as well.
Just looking for some thoughts on this.

Krip - looking like a nice sea of Nugz ! lol
Good'n Yummy.
Cuts are hard to root with the IHG gear I've ran. Sadly.

MrK. Awesome (as usual) it is beautiful in there.
Why not try the banana juice on the Dolato. That will give you a good taste on her

Thanks, Birdie!
I'm using Doc's High Brix kit, now. I don't want to add anything that can possibly throw off the balance in the soil. If I was just doing a straight organic grow, I wouldn't hesitate, but the high brix mix is formulated specifically for the kit.

POPPIN' PTK'S!
It's about a week earlier than I was originally planning but I want to make sure I have some plants to work with for the breeding program so started soaking four PTK seeds:
If, for any reason, I don't get germination, it gives me time to pop some more; and, my plan is to trim them right before putting them into flower.
Happy Harvests!

Morninti ya Birdie.. .NO...NO...please do not give bannana stuff to kit soil.....they are very high in K (Potasium) and will screw up high brix soil every time!
Cheers eh.

My thoughts exactly, Brother!
It's a little funny cuz' I'm always brewing compost tea for my fruits & veggies and have to resist the temptation to feed any to "the girls" since I don't even want the microbes competing with Doc's microbes!
Good one Krip......believe it or not these microbes are trained to eat rocks(minerals)...we dont wanna spoil them with easy ,peasy food...not good!

Looking forward to watching your breeding project. Hey, at least your popping some seeds.....but then your Making more!?!?!???

Well, let's start here....You may very well be doing everything perfectly and just have a pheno of PE that tends not to frost up that much!
From a growers perspective, all we CAN control is the environment and the nutes. There are a lot of factors that go into both and great growers will disagree on the specifics of just about every one of those factors!
One grower will tell you if you want more frost use "X-brand" of nute, or "X-type" of light or light schedule, or make some other subtle change. There's even a supplement by Humboldt Nutrients called "Snow Storm Ultra" many growers swear by (I have a whole bottle, minus a few uses, still in the fridge from years ago!
).I've always said that the breeder's responsibility is to provide quality genetics and the grower's responsibility is to ensure those genetics reach their potential. Assuming you're providing a good environment, good nute regime, and have healthy plants, you're probably already at 90% of the potential.
It is believed that Trichomes are the plants way of protecting itself agains UV light (plus insects and other predators) so, in theory, increasing UV light should help, but, in reality, only a small percentage of growers, I think, really even play with the UV (and far red!) spectrums.
Stress is also believed to increase trichome production, but you'll rarely find growers trying to stress their plants during bloom to see if they can get more trichomes!
They also say a dark period before harvest, but I haven't noticed any difference, personally, doing that.
Having the right genetics and environment are really the key factors, IMHO.

Hey, Bro, don't think for a second that my producing seeds, in any way, fulfills my need to purchase more strains!
It is a cost-effective way for me to get use out of all those REG seeds I've acquired over the years, though!
Great, thanks for getting back to me on that. I'll chalk it up to lack of stress, lots of love, and just being a non frosty type of plant. As always great information.

How many seeds did you purchase? Pop a few more and I'm sure you'll find a frosty one in the batch. PE does tend to frost up nice, but, seeds are like kids. Two parents (the Smiths) can have 10 children who all look different, have different color hair/eyes, some short other tall, some fat others skinny. They're all different phenos of "The Smiths" strain!
