Best Kush I've ever had was some grape kush from cali, 2nd best was some good ol hindu kush grown locally & organically.

I'm all for hybrids if you are improving on the original or if you are trying to breed certain traits in. Then again, there are advantages to inbreeding as well, as it goes with hindu kush. Personally, I would like to create a Hindu Diesel or NYC Kush, not sure which sounds cooler. 
Reason for that being I want the nyc diesel traits in a shorter stockier plant that could potentially even improve potency/flowering time.

thats pretty much what the diesel ryder is...is a mix of somas nyc diesel and low ryder #2..but loses some potency due to it being an auto...i wish they made a none autoflowering in this strainI'm all for hybrids if you are improving on the original or if you are trying to breed certain traits in.

I'm trying to maintain yield in a smaller space in less time with hopefully more potency & just as much flavor. I just need more resources for breeding.

Keep in mind every plant reacts differently but I would say your medium & nutes are substantial enough for flowering after seeing your two midgets. Good luck with the papaya, I've always been curious about that strain.

umm...duh.these seeds im starting now will be chopped long before they sex so it dont matter...and all the seeds i buy are fem seeds...so ill never have males

tonights pics...got 4 for the diesel and 2 for the roadrunner...im going to feed one more shot of molasses to the diesel then a week of flushing,then im harvesting the main cola.wont need to flush more then a week seeing as i didnt feed it that often...it stayed wet in the bigger pot...so there wont be too much salt or nutes built up in the soil.after i finish flushing ill start feeding it big bud again after a week to help out the remaining bud sites that im not harvesting.she is getting frosty as hell...love up close pics...and the main cola is swelling up even more...glad i didnt harvest early.since it had a ton of new growth the trichs are mostly all clear again..but i can see the hairs starting to recede so i know its close.
first 2 pics are of the main cola...the 3rd and 4th pics are of the bottom bud sites that are still developing.last 2 are the roadrunner

yeah its off ebay...i counted about 30 different people that have these types of lights posted...i just dont think it will be worth the money..dont have the space for them and not sure if the low wattage would be worth it.
and its hard to read this plant...one day it looks like its ready to chop..then the next day its full of new growth and hairs.trichs will be almost all amber...then turn clear again.im still gonna start flushing it..it needs it either way.then after the flushing if its done ill chop it,or ill start feeding it for another week then flush it again

not yet...i started a batch of mid seeds.i wanted to make sure i had my shit together before starting the papaya.im growing these for 2-3 weeks to make sure that the reason these 2 ladies now are so dwarf isnt from what im doing and its just the strains.so if i get normal growth out of these mids seeds then after 2-3 weeks ill chop them and start the papaya.then when it gets rolling im going to take a few clones from it and start a scrog grow with the clones...might make another cab and keep it as a mother
congrats on the KK popping...would love to try that stuff
