no work!! fuck sounds like everyone else in michigan...lol... I havent had a full time job for more than 2 months for about 3 years now...MI is going down the shitter! but the medical MJ biz is boom'n ...went over to a buddy of mines house he just dumped about 5000 into a grow room he got 2 four ft 8 bulb T5's for veg and 2x 600w HPS for flower...all sealed rooms, lights are all sealed and hot air sucked right out, AC from the house is dumped in, Co2 , you name it! it's one of the better rooms I've seen in while...

My girls look beautiful didn't have time to take pictures today they dont look too much different except for all the little nuggets forming and finally some trichomes popping up...I also have one GWS that is bent over kinda like scrogged...and the bottom most branch off the stalk has 100% purple nuggets on it, but even stranger no other branch or bud has any purple what so ever, no other eaves nothing..none of the other plants either even the ones that are spose to turn with cold, this is just one branch off one plant and its the bottom one at that usually the tops will turn first from the cold and its mainly the leaves...this one branch has all purple BUD all the way up it bottom to top its crazy looking...Next time I go out i'll bring the cam and vid and get some shots...

@green D- this will be my largest harvest yet as well and honestly I dont want to trim or pay ppl to trim, and the more that im out there and the more old timers I talk to my number in weight keeps going up from 8-10 then to 15-20 from what some are telling me and its looking like...honestly I've never pulled more than a QP off a plant last years outdoor grow was shitty as hell and this is my 2nd, I just went off on my own no partners, new site, and no scared little puss's w/ me..I went all out...fuck why not either you make out fat as hell or your in trouble just the same as you would be with smaller plants why take the risk if your not going to profit from it? but if I pull what a few guys who've pulled LBS off plants are saying...I'll have my work cut out for me and a crew

getting closer and closer...I havent seen any helis near me at all! thank god I seriously think they got their quota for my area and have decided that they(state po) are happy with their number which doubles last years...this year they flew jul 15-20 (net 500+ plants) and last year it was aug 20-25(net 236 plants)..

hopefully!!!!! 4 more weeks!!!! come on we're on the home strech

forgot I took this pic today lol...one of the skinnier plants but you can see the shear size of them...most are as tall if not taller but the bigger girls are much bushier

 

[Green Dave]

Some of my girls are bigger then others , I know where Im NOT Planting next year
Im hoping for 3-4lbs but as long as I get enough to keep me for the year all the rest is a bonus (Cash in the pocket)

here is the prize of the garden mandala1. make no mistake that plant is about 8-9 foot tall, I can't check out the top buds without a ladder. so I don't really know how those are shapin up?.

any of you guys think pollinating a plant while there is morning dew on it and is wet but not soaked, is an issue?. will it pollinate correctly?

KB nice fing plants dude, if your not going to hire any help at least buy yourself an electric hedge trimmer.

Ok I have another question for you guys.. I hope you dont mind me posting in here but you guys seem very knowledgable.. The AMS im growing is Anti Mold Strain its resistant to mold. Insects seem to stay away from it also.. If I take a female ams plant and breed it with a male from another strain, will it result in making the other strain mold and insect resistant also.? If so Any recomendations on what I should breed it with? Im wanting a strain that finishes early october at the latest and is fairly potent with an above avg yeild..

mandala1 and trainwreck I found to have very few issues with bugs also white widow did not really have any issues either.

It may give some of the mold resistant tendencies to some of the off spring but your gonna have to back cross it a few times once you find the AMS pheno.

 

[Mare A Wanna]

So after I grow the offspring to flower I should pollinate them with male AMS pollen.? Geting ahold of a male ams might be a challange. All I can find at the GH's are the fem seeds.. With that being said what If I forced a female ams to go hermie.. Then used the pollen from the hermie to pollinate the offspring with.. What would that do to the offsprings of the offspring.? would the hermie trait be carried over to them.?

Hic I believe that the mandala1 and trainwreck come from the same breeders as my AMS.. This AMS has been so easy to grow. Evey clone I cut took roots with no problems, Basicly all I've had to do since I've moved them outside is feed them every 4 days.. Im just not sure how potent its gonna be.. Everything im reading is saying its a medium potentance strain with an avg of 15% thc.. People are also saying its some of the most resinous they've ever smoked though.. Im wanting to make a more potent strain as hasle free to grow as the ams.. I guess I got alot of time to play around and see what I can come up with before may.. I'd love to get my hands on some Lemon Kush or some OG Fire Kush to breed with..

well I can assure you that traiwreck and mandala1 did not come the same breeder. I would not worry about making a super strain right now, It seems to me that you might have a better outcome if you save up 100dollars before next may, and just order some seeds. birds can't fly before they hatch.

Mare, why not try and cross AMS with another mold resistant, early flowering strain. If its for outdoor you should be trying to make your bud flower earlier and be more mold resistant, not cross with a new strain to make it less mold resistant. There are some strong strains that aren't prone to mold, but I'm not sure about early flowering and mold resistant. The one I was going to grow this year is ATA Tundra, it is supposed to be mold resistant, early flowering, resistant to cold, and really high in THC, but my seeds got stolen. I don't know if everything the seed company claims is true, but it sounded like the perfect MI strain.

KB- Maybe your purple branch is really dank, but sometimes if its not caused by the cold, purple can be a sign of stress or other bad things. Also last year, at the end of the year for me, several of my buds turned purple, and those were the worst tasting nuggz. Hopefully your branch is purple in a sticky dank way and not purple in a bad way.

https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/170819-m-s-seed-greenhouse-whats.html I bought the ams seeds. Hic it has nothing to do with the 100$ for seeds.. Money is not realy a factor both me and my wife work full time and have a descent amount in savings.. It saves me money growing insted of purchasing.. All an All with the seeds, nutes, pots, and soil im probaly 300$ into this years grow, and thats not counting any of my lights or ph equipment that I've had for the past couple years.. Like I said in earlier post this is my first year growing outdoors, and things seem to be taking longer outside then they do inside.. Thats what is throwing me off.. As far as purchasing diff strains for next year I do plan on doing that, but I also want to try my hand at making a super strain thats never been seen before.. And I am pretty sure the breeders of Trainwreck also bred the AMS.. I just ran across AMS bred with several diff strains at GHSC Im gonna order a couple of those But I would still like to breed it with a kush strain...

Well Mare A Wanna I can tell you if you are breeding for a super strain outdoors you can consider some of mandalas seeds an option, I have the same idea as many do. to make a strain of my own, that meets all my expectations. This year I have 6 strains goin on and out of the strains I really like how well 2 of mandalas strains did this year so far, even the germination is hardy 1 outta 14 seeds did not sprout. anyway I am not going to get into it too much except that next year I will be growing out a clones from the pic a few posts back. I will also be growing a few seeds of each strain I pull of that plant. my 2cents is if you are looking for a foundation for building a super strain outdoors here in michigan maybe one of mandalas strains would work out for ya? they are cheaper then most but shit maybe mandala is responsible with there bills idk? I think its just cause there doing fine at $40 a ten pack.

If I were you I would pollinate the ams with something that finishes a little earlier, next year sprout those seeds and pull out another ams clone and let em breed. and so on

I really like the DR Greenthumb and TGA Gear

 

[Klo$etBreeder]

im too stoned to follow the last few posts so im useless here.... . . . . maybe in an hour or so,

wanted to get pictures today but ol lady took the working car...FireLane I usually can tell the cause of why this is purple and the most I can come up with is genetics..maybe a rare pheno, recessive trait or somthing.. but ot from stress not from nutes, deff not cold enough, and not another plant or brach has it...I'll snap some pictures..
and the reason your purple nugs may have tasted bad is they prolly got hit by frost and it killed the plant tissue to a degree...IMO..

HIC- if it was just as easy as an elictric trimmer..lol a bonsi trimmer is like 900$ I dont have money for it with rent and all im broke as hell rght now... i'll prolly be having a few trust worthy ppl over for a day to trim like pro's!..I'll lose a few oz but it'll be worth it just so I dont have to do it...specialy if I pull alot ppl dont realize how much it really is growing small amounts inside, shit take all of your plants and times that by 16..rediculous

and I also belive i'll be ordering from dr.greenthumb and prolly serious seeds..TGA has some awsome new strians coming out as well tho

Thanks Hic im gonna go look at mandalas stuff in just a few. Never hurd of them untill I joined this forum but alot of people here seem to use them... I deff want to breed with somthing that flowers sooner for outdoors.. looking for a good pure indica to throw in the mix at some point.. My goal when im done breeding is to have a strain thats mold and pest resistant, Finished by the end of september first of october, Have an above average yeild with big buds And is potent, tasty, and dank looking.. I understand its gonna take alot of time, money, and work. And that I have a better chance of failing then i do succeding. Im still willing to try and see what happens though.. I mean seriously whats the worst thing thats gonna happen.. I end up growing and smoking alot of diff bud along the way.. By the way i've been admiring your girls since i first ran across this thread... You got some sexy looking bitches bro... By the way I hurd someone is bringing a 30 year old, original strain, of acapulco gold to the canabis cup this year

Very nice Hic.. I would love to do some seed swapping, or even just purchase some seeds from you when there ready.. I did find a mate for my ams.. "well actualy my brother is the one that got the rooted clone from his buddy" It's a strain called BC skunk.. Suppose to be an early finisher done by the end of sept. Its also insect and mold resistant and suppose to be a high yeilder. Im cutting clones off my mother today for breeders. Theres no way in hell we can get the skunk to flower in time to breed with the girls we already have flowering.. My bro cut a little tester off his ams last night and brought it over to burn.. I was actualy kind of impressed with it.. Tasted like shit cause it was obviously not curred, but it got us pretty high and his girls are prob still 2-3 weeks out.. I still dont realy have any buds forming on mine yet. Think im gonna start moving most my girls in the barn about 7pm every night then set them back out in the morning before work.. Im starting to get paranoid there not gonna be mature before it gets to cold..
