I'm getting behind as well. These definitely need to be transplanted today. I sure do enjoy planting a seed and watching it turn into a plant. Cloning is fine but I'm never as satisfied as I am growing from seed. It's like having a baby. Well not quite but you get my point. These are all growing in soil I made myself. I researched the heck out of it and bought a ton of amendments. It's looking good so far. Except for the Panama on the top right. It's got clawing going on. Definitely won't be using that one for breeding. It's too finicky.

I've kept my soil building simple by just using Roots B2 wgich has no amendments other than ewc and rock dust and mixing in dte BioLive. BioLive is a completeix with inoculants.

One of the biggest advantages is that v2 alone is about perfect for starter mix. From there you can mix it how ever you want.

Looks like all my previous images are gone due to postimage changing their URL. Oh well.

Here's a Pakistani Chitral Kush. She's pretty isn't she?



Here's my "It works" pollen collection. This is from a Panama male.




I have more than enough pollen. But I'll use the rest to make more Panama seeds. I'll also dust a branch or two of Durban and Ruderalis. A little goes a long way. I still have a Ruderalis and Durban male that I'm working with as well. And as luck would have it I have a Candida CD1 in flower so I'm going to be able to make some crosses with that as well.

Okay, I've chucked pollen on everything.

Some Pakistani Poison could be really interesting. I've been holding out in starting seeds until I know how a few things I've got in the works are going to shake out.

I did try starting some my seeds I made a few years back by pollinating a couple of clone only's with a male of The Black from The BCBD. I'm not sure what exactly is going with them. They were slow to germinate, which I expected, but most of them are barely even firminftheir first set of true leaves and they aren't doing anything past that. I'm thinking they're probably just too old but I've heard of people starting much older seeds without a problem.

I'm probably going to start my pack of Sonic Screwdriver tomorrow. It's one of the only things I have that's still in production so if I don't get to see it through I can still pick up another pack. It would probably be a great option to pollinate that Durban Poison with.

Pakistani Poison, I like that. I have another Chitral Kush just waiting for the Durban males to drop their pollen.

This is the progress from this endeavor to date. Pollination of selected crosses is complete. Seeds are visibly forming on some. I'm especially interested in the Durbin / Pakistani green pheno cross and the Candida / Panama. I thought I had a Chitral Kush male but it was just the green pheno which through me off because all the others were showing purple traits and the difference in appearance lead me to believe it was a male. So here is what we've done.

Panama male

Panama
Pakistani Chitral Kush purple - pheno

Durban male

Durban
Pakistani Chitral Kush purple - pheno

Durban

Medical Marijuana Genetics
Candida CD1

I've been curious about what that Sensi Durban is like?

Seeds are in full development. I hit these females early. I'll wait until the seeds are almost falling out on their own to harvest them.


Pakistani Citral Kush + Durbin





Pakistani Chitral Kush + Panama




Panama female + Panama male

That sour wreck could be really interesting crossed back to some landraces.

Couple more. All my other crosses took and are developing seeds. The Durban + Strawberry Kush / Ketama is doing well and I hope the introduction of Durban will enhance the bud structure as I haven't been impressed so far. I also can't wait to pop the Candida1 + Panama. I'm hoping it will be in the range of 10 - 15% THC and at least 10% CBD. I want a high CBD that still gives you a slight high. The Candida CD1 I'm working with is the sativa pheno and does not get you high. I should be harvesting seeds off some in a couple weeks and then I'll start pheno hunting.

By the time these are done my other plants will be ready to put into flower but I'm doing a quantity run and not chucking any pollen. Gotta keep those jars filled. Have a White Widow, Critical Kush, CBD God, and Night Nurse popped and in veg right now. Fem seeds I bought and want to use up. I bought a bunch of seeds before I decided to get a bunch of landraces and make my own crosses.

Please ignore the tips on some of the leaves. Some plants are only in two liter pots and are two feet tall "Edit: three feet tall". It's been a challenge with them especially since I've started making my own supersoil. I didn't let it cook and It is hotter than a hot knife on hash. But the good thing is that it will be much better when I reuse it and I have a bunch in bags cooking away right now. So I have no doubt that the next run will be better. The PCK is in three gallon fabric pots and I have given nothing but water. I think I'll make it through the entire run without having to fertilize and just giving plain water. Bye Bye coco. Bye Bye mixing nutes. It's a little more work up front but I'll gladly spend a few hours mixing up a bunch of soil for the convenience of only having to give plain water for the duration of the grow. Gives me more time to work on important stuff like my vegetable garden, drinking beer, working on my car, etc...

Ruderalis male + Ruderalis female


Panama + Ruderalis
