This last winter/early spring I had a grow tent running in my garage and had a really bad powder mold problem. I had a 10 pack of TGA Ace of Spades, Flying Dutchman Pot of Gold and a few other clones running at the time. As soon as I saw the powder mold I pulled the plants out of the grow tent and sprayed the tent with diluted bleach water and wiped it down. I took the remaining plants and removed all of the lower plant growth to allow better air circulation, I think some people call it lollipoping. My local hydro store recommended I use green cure as a fungicide so I sprayed thoroughly and let the plants dry out in the back yard sun.
After the fungicide was sprayed I notices some of the plants were shocked and showed serious leaf curl. I separated the sickly plants and put the healthy ones into the 12/12 light cycle. I decided that I didn't want to risk the powder mold coming back so i decided to use the ace of spades for my first pollen chucking experiment. I put the Pot of Gold, Ace of spades and a few Kush strains that came from a Cali-Connection mix pack (AKA-Kali Confusion) into the 12/12 tent. Then after about three weeks I put the plants that had been shocked and some other clones into the 12/12 tent.
I had five males to choose from but narrowed it down to two. They were placed into the grow tent 3 weeks apart. Both males seemed similar in veg and showed strong initial vigor and a favorable growth structure. After a few weeks in 12/12 it was clear that the second male produced fewer flowers but had a sweet berry musk odor. The first male pollinated the 3 ace of spades girls, 3 pot of gold, and two random mix pack Kush plants.
The second male skeeted on the 2 other ace of spades females, 2 pot of gold, my bubblegum, 3 TGA Chernobyl and my Cali connection Chem Valley Kush (SFV Dominate).
After I finished separating my seeds I started the clean up process and pulled about 30 seeds from the carpet. I took those seeds and threw them in the back yard near the tomato garden and I have about 15 random sprouts popping up in the garden. Hopefully I picked a good males for this project but wont know what I have until they flower out. Also,I decided to run about 20 of the Ace of Spades f2s to see what I can unlock and see if its worth running the rest of the crosses.
I don't really know much about breeding so this is a completely new learning experience for me. Wish me luck and feel free to share any feed back.
