Indoor Bill's Test Thread

Still progressing nicely.

Gotta do a GLB feed this morning....adding Brix57 to the center girls this time....
Need to mix up a little more STS as the first batch was turning dark...probably a 1/4 of what got mixed at first.

BB showing a couple more balls forming

Would have thought the GT would be covered in pollen now seeing how quickly it turned.

But still not seeing any to start collecting or pollenating inside girls.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Got some bending clips coming to try to manage the jungle better.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

We seem to have pollen forming now. Picked a couple flowers, agitated with my pocket knife blade and got a smear of yellow.

used a q-tip and touched a few pistils on my 3BOG.......fingers crossed.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Mixing nutes to fill res back up. 7 gal in 2.5 days.
Need to shift the taller ones to rear of tent and do another GLB infusion in the trays.
Got some training clips in so need to see about spreading a few branches out and maybe cleaning up the undersides for better airflow....maybe mark a couple for pollenation so I can keep track of them.
Gorilla Bomb in front has taken off, might clone the top and put the bottom out on porch....when I did a bunch of clones from them last year moving them from tent 18/6 to outside in June put them into flower.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Finally got the smaller plants up front.

That one 3BOG hybrid is having problems again.

The short 3BOG...main cola is nice and fat...candadate for some pollen..

And everything showing frost.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Tent check

Time for another GLB infusion....truthfully as low tech and hands off as I like to be, it's getting to be a chore and too much like a job for my taste...and these girls are kind of all over the map as far as phenotypes so I can't make any determination on if it is or is not adding value...think only way to be sure would be for someone to run a strict clone operation from one mother but that's not in my schedule anytime soon.
Need to get out back with tweezers, magnifying glass and a mirror and start trying to knock off some pollen, maybe today after nurse leaves.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Out on the back deck pollen collecting. Not freaking easy, about 1 in 15 flowers dumps some pollen.

And not too much at that. Then I brush the tapped flower on the pistils of the little GT to get as much use out of it I can.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Got a little pollen in a vial now.

And a comparison of Thursday afternoon vs this morning of the little GT.

And I'm thinking we got pollenation.
@DSC @Bob's Auto's ..what do you think brother?

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

At about day 50 on the 6 in the autopots (60 to 70 day according to Mephisto) and 60 or so on the little pots.

Still limping the sick one along but not looking pretty.

Others are frosting up and stacking.

Never got the little 3BOG to turn.

And the Gorilla Bomb is still alive need to think about cloning it out.
