well, they are beautiful.... curious where you got the genetics from? sounds like they aren't stabilized to auto... or maybe dropped the trait alltogether?

Vinegar Vigor...



Double the height in width..well defined leaves...oh..fingers crossed.

The Only logic behind it is...
when the element in the kettle is coated in cal..
you fill it up with water and half a cup of vinegar..
boil it and it disolves the cal..

Worry was..if it simply made the cal settle to the bottom of the water..
then bubbling the water might disturb it..
But..
it is looking Fine..ATM...:leaf:

good start to make an auto version of one of my favorites?
Perfect reason to..

they will definetly be crossed x LR#2 and then crossed back x kona mist and then back x LR#2...
But why double dip...?

Make the cross..germ..look at the dominance in the F1's..
you May get what you are looking for straight away.

If you are lucky and get kona mist doms..grab some pollen off the most AF KM dominant male..
and freeze it.
Then if you start to lose the dominance..use the KM Dominant pollen to do a back-cross..for the strengthening.

One tip..nothing scientific..just observation..
Make the AF part of the cross the Mom.
For me..the females hold the dominance in a cross..

The most important part of an AF/long season cross is to get good AF dominance.
Then start manipulationg the cross through the F's to bring the traits you want from the long season parent.

I get stupid high % AF dominance in my mixed rolls...and I think this is part of the reason.

Happy Hunting...:leaf:

mossys! my man! thanks for the breeding tips! guess i was getting ahead of myself! lol... but it sounds like i'm on the righ track... go for the af first.... one thing is... i intend to do my development by using females so i get fems out. from what i understand, if you take a female plant, force it to hermy after it starts flowering (by stress, ie photo, ph, temp or a combo of the above), then capture that pollen, any female you cross it with produces a feminized version of a cross of the 2. Am I understanding this correctly? Not usually one to take shortcuts, but i hate wasting energy on males when i want production fast! lol the idea is to breed my own lr#2, autoberry , and autowidow, feminized for coming outdoor season.. kona mist and other breeding is secondary to being ready for may in upstate ny.
thoughts? suggestions?

always welcome...

That is what I Understand to be true..it is how it is explained in the Marijuana Botany book.
The pollen must go to a different female.
But..
I haven't tried it.

What I did do was I hermied them out with low light...
anything under 10 hours Normally does it..
it takes about 4 days to happen.
They self pollenated.

The seed was Good..I only germed 7..I think..
long time ago..
and I know I got all fem but never trialled it out enough to get an accurate opinion.

thoughts? suggestions?
Do you have enough stash..or are you relying on them for harvest..?

going back to what was said a few pages ago about males from pre ferted soil.......I planted 14 Speedy G (s1) beans into my organic mix I been making over the last year, 12 males 2 girls + out of the 14 I managed to drop one, which was a girl so now I just have the 1. they have only had water, they look very healthy but next time il get the seedlings going in my old mix then pot up into my mix when there big enough to handle it.
