Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

Silly chickens. I finally kicked mine out of the sunroom and into the yard - very nice to have them out of the house. Actually I didn't so much mind them in the house, it just pained me to have a heat bulb on 24/7 when I could be using the electricity on plants instead

The tri-nodal returns!

Several years ago from the same set of seeds I ended up with a plant that was tri-nodal versus bi-nodal. At every node this plant grew three leaves and three bud sites. From the looks of it I ended up with another! A true tri even down to the cotyledons. Super excited as this grew out beautifully before. Might have to seed her up and see if I can develope a strain that carries this trait more often than not.


This is my last tri after being accidentally topped. You might be able to notice the 3 fan leaf groupings:

Second time I've ever seen or heard of this, my current plant has grown sets of three leaves since sprout. Is it possible to save this trait?

It is possible. Fairly easy to save via clone but selecting for it in seed offspring might take a while.

That's my goal.. to get it in seed form. I have heard of people leaving parts of their plant alive past harvest time to create pollen sacks, but I'm not quite sure how that'd turn out. How'd my rep go from around 20 to 80? Kinda.. amazed me, you're the only person that +rep'd too

Different users rep carries different weight

I'm so thinking about throwing some veggies along the wall in my flower room now

Looks like she is getting a lot happier now that its in that tent

my girl dog ate one nugget of weed once she looked at me like what did i do to her now she wont touch the stuff also do you think i should trim the bottom of my plants the popcorn area there in week 4 flower dont wanna hermie what do u think thx in advance

Yeah... happier but still not really on. I really think the crappy potting soil is going to fuck this one up to a degree. To be honest I'm not particularly looking forward to her. The next round is my preferred smoke - she was just a casualty of the move that I decided to flower out.

I wouldn't worry about herming them and I've found it to be beneficial. I would remove the smaller flowers and new growth points but try and keep as many of the leaves as possible.

thanks bro one last question well i hope its all i need i had my light to close and some of the pistils have turned brownish just a few should they be ok since moved light a few inches

Yup, they'll be fine.

Thanks haha >.< your plants look great. Can't wait 'til I've grown & had enough experience to get plants lookin' like yours. Good luck sir

oooooh, tanker strikes again!
that reminds me i need to get my basil started!!

Hey... care to give me an opinion on something? I figured you'd be kinda interested in it and have more knowledge on the subject.

I was thinking about cloning my tri-nodal plant, harvesting upper buds, leaving lower sites alive and making it herm.. then pollinate the clone. Would this succesfully make tri-nodal seeds? It'd be pollen from a male tri-nodal plant, and buds from a female tri-nodal.. I don't know much about breeding, I figured you would!

It would actually be both pollen and eggs from a female tri-nodal You'll end up with feminized seeds that resemble the parent in many ways - one of which might be that trait, but it is not guaranteed. You should definately try it and send me some seeds

How do you get eggs? Confusing me. I'm down to try it, I'm makin' a little clone machine right now lol.

You know, eggs and sperm - that's how you make a baby. The pollen essentially contains two sperm, one grows into a tube that propels the other sperm to the female egg through that little hole called the micropyle.



It's a bit confusing as you can have female pollen as well as make pollen. Male pollen XY, crossed with female pollen XX, and you have a 50% chance at males and 50% chance at females:

....X. Y
X|xx xy
X|xx xy

When you stress a female plant to produce pollen it's XX pollen crossed with an XX egg which produces XX female seeds:

....X. X
X|xx xx
X|xx xx

The ovule is located in the ovary which is located in each calyx.

That's the best I've ever heard it explained! That makes it simple, and the idea generally true! Stressing a female after to budding to produce female pollen & then impregnating the clone.. I'll send you some seeds if it works for sure haha. You have to cross it with somethin' though!

very good explanation gastanker , i soon want to try the colodial silver method of making femmed seeds seems very interesting ... maye next run
