I'm using PC fans believe it or not. I have a tarp covering my closet. I have a pc fan in the upper right blowing air out. I have another one in the lower left blowing air inside the closet. I also have an oscilating fan circulating air at the bottom of the op.

My humidity stays anywhere between 27-44% and my temps stay anywhere betweeen 70-75.

To keep my temps low though, my thermostat never goes higher then 73. AC is the biggest key especially when using HID.

so if I crossed NL and Haze to get NL x Haze F1

I wanna chose the best male and female Plants from the F1 plants to create a more stable strain?

you would have to go through several or more generations to get to the stable F1 i think.

i'd recommend reading a breeding book (like Greg Green's Breeder Bible or Marijuana Botany) for a full treatment of breeding and what it involves.

From what i can gather, breeding requires a lot of room, patience, diligence, equipment and clones! with some luck added.

ok I did some reading and to me it seems like when you create an F1 it has 50% dad (NL) and 50% mom (Haze)

taking the male F1 and back cossing it with the P1 (orignal mom) (Haze) you are making the new seeds have a higher Haze gene. and when you keep on crossing it with the female Haze you are making the Haze gene higher but will never get rid of it.

is that pretty much how it works?

It depends on which genes are dominant and which are recessive. If you can breed a mom and dad with the same dominant genes (for the desired traits) then i believe you have stabilized the offspring.

But i would point you towards the breeding forums as their are people who actually do it there.

well I did some math on what I've read and what it seems like to me please let me know if I have the slightest idea if I know what breeding is

so if that's right then the end result will have more of the Haze gene then the NL

I do not know enough about breading to answer you. But if you are looking at these charts and plugging in your own numbers - you are going in the right direction.

I have a can fan that air cools my HID
Thats the biggest part of keeping it cool in there for me.
I have an intake to the "room" (its not a closet) to supply fresh air from outside.
The outgoing air is filtered with a carbon inline filter.
Temps stay low in my OP basically because it is an undergorund chamber.

Toolage!
Stretch is so packed with flowers
she sure looks pretty:weed:

yeah bro, i had a sample not to long ago. Suprisingly enough it got me quite high for about 20 minutes. It has a berry fruity taste.

nearly 10 weeks flowering - this must be driving you nuts!

lmao omg bro you have NO IDEA. If I didn't have enough to smoke on I would probably be pulling my hair out. Only 3 more days till I start flushing. But thing that sucks is, I still have to count the weeks to dry and cure, so I still have probably another month.

Thanks bro, she sure smells pretty also. Does anyone elses plant smell really potent at one part of the day and as the day goes on you can barely smell anything? It's usually about 4 hours after the lights have been on it smells the strongest! Only a little over 2 weeks left :-D

whats your guess on weight?
Click to expand...
I'm hoping for over and ounce a half. If I get less then an Ounce of this plant I really think I might cry. I might even get 2 considering how big this plant really is. And the last 2 weeks they are just going to get fatter right? Even though I'm only feeding water and no nutes, does it really gain that much weight in the last 2 weeks? Or do people mean they get their biggest in the last 2 weeks before flushing?

if it is really the last two weeks of flowering. but it looks like she could just keep on going and going. I'd continue with your plan and get some new plants going ASAP (something indica-heavy maybe so you aren't waiting on sativas to mature).

yeah maybe some NL#1 and LR
that would work...lmao:joint: puffs, passes to T
an ounce is all? It looks like more to me but it is kinda fluffy
no matter if it is great you won't need to smoke as much.
(just teasing e-mail there T, he didn't read all about your next grow plans I take it...)
