Twelve12's Breeding Program

Firestorm @ 58 Days in Bloom

Firestorm (Pineapple Express x Grapefruit Diesel). 58 days in bloom, after the switch but the actual flowering time is around 47 days (first pistil appeared). The buds are very dense has a sweet fragrant some pistils are turning orange. I'm starting to add 10ml of liquid blue (Bloom Booster) to enhance the flowering further. It should finish under 70 days, got about 15-20 more days to go. :Namaste:

The 2nd pic down, (pic of root system) shows the root system on your clone. It looks like the cutting had been processed somehow on the lower 1 inch of it. Did you scrape it or something? I know that that's a method used by Jorge Cervantez and I was just curious. It looks like the roots start just below where it looks to be scraped, or prepared in some way, which leads me to think it would be wise to always prepare the stalk of your cutting before adding the root hormone. If I am way off base my humble apologies but if I am going to have such nice results as you have, I have got to incorporate some of your techniques.:peace:
 
I welcome questions so feel free, Lord Indica! I'm not an expert in any way but will let you in on my secret.

When take cuttings I don't scrape or cut at 45 degree, I just cut right above the node and plug the cutting into the aero cloner and let it root for a week. I keep the water cold with no root hormone or nutrients. Some strain will root faster and plentiful. If you start with a healthy cutting your clone should root vigorously.
 
Shiver Kush

Shiver Kush (Vanilla Kush x ATA Tundra). Looking forward to growing some of these out.

10 God of Frost (Grapegod x ATA Tundra) F1 12.8.11
11 Shiver Kush (Vanilla Kush x ATA Tundra) F1 12.28.11
 
I hope Firestorm smoke great, GodSpeed. From the look of it she is very beautiful. She's almost done more shots of her soon. F2 is coming up flowering out the male and more female for the F2 seed production. 2 more months they'll be here. The space I use is very small, within the 4x4 tent. While I wait for one day to have a factory like space I get started on breeding now. Once the space is here I already have some good beans to play with.

jandre2k3 & Lord Indica, yeah they are crazy looking hope the cross is killer. Stay tunes.
 
Current strains are in the seed productions;

Grapegod x Black Domina = Thunder Eyes
Heavy Duty Fruity x Black Domina = Forbidden Love
Pineapple Express x Black Domina = Solar Split
Super Lemon Haze x Black Domina = Ultra Black Lemon Haze

3 weeks and they'll be ready for harvest. These will be part of the Age of Darkness Collection.
 
Firestorm @ 66 days flowering

Firestorm (Pineapple Express x Grapefruit Diesel) at 66 days in bloom. My first cross, exclusive strain, the father (Grapefruit Diesel) is gone but the mother is still around (part of my permanent collection). Don't have many F1 seeds left. But will continue to breed for F2 while keeping the best female per generation for future cross/stabilization. Feminizing this one is also an option. Will have to grow out the clones and lock in this pheno/geno just in case the mother plant dies along with the clones.

She's swollen up nicely since last time. Going to harvest her in 4 days. I can't wait to smoke her up! I'll shoot her again before the harvest and enter it in the POTM, probably get last place but who cares she deserve a nice welcome into this world.

I like the fact that she love my setup, grew short, sativa like leaves with indica growth characteristics. The buds are dense yield better than the mother plant (Pineapple Express), does very well in SOG as individual clone. This is my first run so hopefully we can push for even higher yield next run. Got some clones already half way through. More report on this strain next sometime next week.

...and that's the result of breeding.

Not hard at all just have to be very patience, and good record keeping. I recommend every grower to play with breeding, have your own exclusive strain is very rewarding.

This is just 1 of 11th cross I've made recently, so we'll continue the journal to see more from those shortly.

:Namaste:

Dude....


Healthy and dark green, super triches, and the pistils are almost the best red Iv'e seen in years! True to the name, I'd say.
 
beeee aaaaa utiful!!! i sure hope my babies grow up to look as good as uncle 12's kids do, i mean to spoil them rotten! they are looking really good this morning (fingers crossed ) i swear this feels like its the first grow all over again! lol looks like this run and breeding project will be all purple strains ,im curious what you think will make good crosses i have 1 feminized purple maroc, 1 reg royal purple kush ans 2 reg purple #1's, ya think i should just cross what ever i can with whatever i get? (male/female wise) of course i will keep it all documented so i know what is what,:thumb: im excited to get lots of new seed, i have been limping along with very few seeds for a couple years, i used the paint brush technique to produce a small amount of seeds a couple times, but im going for alot more this time, you have inspired me to breed seed and see what i can create!:adore::thankyou::thumb:
 
Just got caught up, Bro! Awesome job & +REPS!!! :welldone:

Being such a big fan of the PE, I'm absolutely drooling over that Firestorm! :yummy:
 
Just started reading this one. Should have been here from the start! My last breeding experiment was a 3 out of 4 success but the abject failure was the one I wanted to work out most. Diesel x AK48 started 12/12 from seed tried to hit 4 feet in 4 weeks! Can't use it indoors at all. Long internodes and all the wrong things. Still working on the rest and am in the middle of trying to make feminized seeds, actually the pollen. To me the experimenting is the heart and soul of growing. Going to start at the begining on this journal to catch up.
 
Thanks jandre2k3, the strain can really eat thus dark green we're seeing. Can't wait how it smokes.

Mark30g, thank you. I prune the leaves twice during flowering, 30 days and 50 days in to give the lower bud sites some light. Give it a try.

Thank you, bigirishdoode! Creating new cross is fun. With your purple lineup should be great. There are a few ways you can start your breeding program. Use one male and breed it with all the available flowering females, or pair them up F to M of your choice. Both have pro/con. Using one male per flowering cycle is much easier. Any seeds the female plants created comes from only one male. Pairing up require organization of what crossed with what. More challenging and right now that's what I'm doing. It really depends on how many males you have available at the time. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Let us know when you have it going.

Thanks OG13! First smoke test within 10 days. Can't wait!

Thanks Mr. Krip! I got some other cross with the PE also; Pineapple Smoothie (PE x ATA Tundra) can't wait to see that in few weeks. Germinated some seeds currently in veg.

Dr.RedWhite, you got a grow journal? Would like to see your Diesel x AK48! Yeah, finding the gem among the seeds can be challenging and fun! Work out the genetics until you find the one you're looking for. Like DJ Short mentioned that he breed to find the effects from the cross that is unique. Taste, smell, how it look, how it grow are all secondary. In the end we consume it so effect is primary which make sense. Not to say we can't customize it to suits out grow environment. Good luck working out the strain. For me Firestorm was easy to pick the F1 female, however my Downtown Stumble I have to grow more seeds to find it, the ones I have are too tall and sensitive to my environment.

Than you, BCBudd!
 
I am enjoying the excellent work you and others are doing so much and try to follow so closely that though the strains are different I incorporate what I learn from you and DocBud closely enough that your journals and mine would be very similar. Plus my camera skills are so embarrrassing. However I am working on it. I just trimmed some fan leaves from my AKxSk#1 and my fingers smell wonderful. I am working on two different types of smoke, a soaring heavy high that finishes in 60 days and a laid back coucher/good mood maker that finishes in less than 50 days. I also want to experiment with many of the awesome strains out there. There is just not enough time to do it all. I want to get away from cuttings and make feminized seed that will grow what I want.
 
Well It's 9wks 2day and I've trimmed most of fan leaves of her but my earlier starters(4MJ. started in soil then was stressed out by going to Hydroponic which I realize I shouldn't ov done it lol) Besides the 1Mj. in hydro ain't got as many as the soil then but one or 2ov bud site looks bigger I just hope I get over an Oz or 2-3 and my misses and I would be happy lol. Ill be translating to bigger pots some time 2day and not to sure to pot onto cannabis coir stuff as I've been using soil. Waiting for local hydro shop to open as ill have to check out there Exhaust fans but I know I can get a better deal online. Keep up the good work bro. Fair play to you tho m8your breeding program is awesome bro:adore:
Firestone she looking lush Dark, very tight nugs and her orangey/red hair is mesmerizing Trust. :goodjob::peace:
