HydroRed's Horticultural Whorehouse

[HydroRed]

I'm looking to get 3 - 3x3x6 tents 2 just for Flowering/breeding & in each tent I'd like a 600w led , the other tent is for veg & a 600w led for that one also, I want to get 2-4 plants in each tent for flowering, figured 2x4x6 tents would be too small

LED light pre-made ready to plug in or you want to build it? Im assuming you mean an led relatable to a 600W hid for a 3x3?

Heres a link for a light that is plug-n-play if thats what you are interested in:

Here is a light that is a "diy" kit. All parts included, just assemble.

If you wanted to truly "DIY" and build your own light, theres lots of build designs and ideas on here in the LED section in which I could probably help point you in the right direction.

Finally, a reversal on the "Plemon".
Fem seeds definitely getting made if I get some viable pollen from them.


I also got the "Monkey Juice" (GG4 x Mimosa) to reverse as well.

She was actually the first to reverse. I'll be saving this pollen for future projects that I just dont have space for right now. One thing at a time haha

Im also happy to say Im up to (11) beans with the "Orange Julius" (Mothers Milk x Mimosa) so this will be getting hunted through and the best girl will be getting reversed for some fem seeds as well when this current fem project is done. I promise, its gonna get bonkers in here once I get some pollen!

Looking good, congrats on the reverse projects you have going on there...

Nice project I got 7 FPOG week 4 of veg , definitely gonna let open pollination take it's place, so I'll have some FPOG pollen to save. what is your pollen saving process?
for ex. 1. collect it 2. let it dry for how long? 3. put into a container Glass vials? w/ rice & flour? 4. put into freezer

Ya, thats pretty much it with male plants. This time of collecting is going to be a bit different since Im collecting fem pollen. The sacks dont "open" like male sacks on regular male plants do. I have to pick them off and actually collect them from the individual nanners in the sacks. A bit more work, but should be worth it to get some fem beans.

1. I use a foil type fronted paper that doesnt hold static electricity. Then the pollen doesnt get scattered or stuck.
2. Let it dry out for 3 days.
3. Fold paper and funnel it into a air/moisture proof vial (plastic 0.5ml centrifuge tubes).
4. I dont keep anything in the vials with the pollen, but I'll put the vials in a bag with some dessicant packs.
5. Store in refrigerator, and when removed be sure to let it acclimate before opening or it may draw moisture and condensate inside the tube.

I was just saying to @outliergenetix FPOG just started week 5 of veg & once I flip the switch I guess for now I could put a male & female back into my veg cabinet since it'll be empty & F3 em in there while I make feminized seeds in my tent & collect pollen from both that's if I get at least 3 females outta 7 seeds. For $6 I got 100 - 1.5ml Tubes for sending seeds to friends that I could use for the pollen also

@HydroRed Do you freeze any of your pollen?

I havent frozen any, just in the fridge.

 

[outliergenetix]

I havent frozen any, just in the fridge.

hey have you ever left the pollen sack in the vile with the pollen? after both have air dried of course? ik plant matter adds moisture and would likely degrade the pollen, but if someone can confirm it won't after drying it would save me the hassle of sifting out the sacks that fall in my paper or foil whenever i tap the branch.
or i was also thinking of just snipping off sacks that are just starting to open and letting em dry and finish opening on foil kinda like taking a spore print for mushrooms. this way i can just tweezer off the sacks 3 days later and store the pollen. i'm new to collecting pollen and it has proven to be more messy than i had thought, even cutting back the males almost all the way prior to flip hasn't alleviated this.

I only keep the pollen. I'll tap the branch the way you state, & seperate plant matter asap.

I hope all is going good for you red , it looks loke you have a pile of projects going on , ive been super busy but seen your thread abd thought i would see what's up.

Hey Red.
Say... im getting my 2nd round going with the flood tables. Potted my cuts on Sat and all was well for a couple days then today I see half the clones getting sad and droopy while half are happy as can be.

Everything seems spot on. 260 ppm, 80f, 45 rh, cobs dimmed and about 35 inches above. All is as it was last round which seemed to work well. But... the sadness some of the girls has raised some concern. Should i be warmer for more transpiration and lift.. or...???

I get that as well, it's the adjustment to dry periods, or roots not long enough to reach water immediately. I top water the droopy ones and they always bounce back I. A couple of days. I run the same clone, and 4x4 flood tables, 12/12 from cloner.

 

[Madriffer]

Sin City Juice first pic. Now down to 2. Seemed to have trouble rooting, those that did have spindly stalks.
Mimosas 2nd pic. Topped the 2 big ones and stuck the tops in some rc cubes under the humidome. These ladies have a perfect structure, can't wait to mother up enough for a full tray run(64).
Will chop top the bigger SCJ this weekend for a clone. I feel I can do more with this once I get it in my world...shirtless and clean.
I tried RR cubes to Happy Frog. Never again. Sprouts to rc cubes, to hydroton.

They are getting water. Before i planted the clones i flooded the tables with the net pots half full to see where the water line is. And thats how deep i plant then cover them. I suppose i could douse them from the top to be sure....

Thanks for dropping in Max! I have been a bit busy with some FEM seed projects and reversals. Hoping to have a couple different FEM crosses in the next 10-12 wks or so. Hoping all is good with you mt friend!

How often are your floods? I do experience the same sometimes. Like @Madriffer mentioned, it could be the roots arent hitting the waterline after transplanted and may require a cpl days of top feed til they do or they may just be a bit droopy until the roots are fully established to the new transplant. Im quite confident they will be in perky condition as the others in a few days time.

Germ reports have been pretty good on the SCJ, along with rooting but there have been reports of runts. This is most definitely from the LVTK side (momma). There are other chuckers that have the same thing going on in their chucks done with VERY respectable LVTK mommas. I wont be using LVTK in any future chucks. Even though there are some great plants found in crosses, they appear to pass that "runt" gene too much in the offspring for my liking.

"Monkey Juice" (GG#4 x Mimosa)
FEM pollen collected from a reversed plant.




Now Im working on getting some pollen from these reversed Plemon.

 

[mr. childs]

sounds asinine, but if possible @HydroRed could you please reward the lazy(me): any info on growing the blackberry banana x lbl ?
i am about to do another search in your thread right now

edit: found it, thank you

I flood every 4 hours for 15 mins and it takes 5 mins to drain. Im pretty sure they are planted on the water line...

Not too concerned right now... just curious. I wonder if im flooding too much or if i should raise temp for more transpiration...hmmmm??
