THE PATH OF THE DRAGON

[Enigma]

History lesson..in the Olden days...View attachment 1776335..Autos came in very limited varieties..and I think every Auto enthusiast had a favourite photoperiod cross that they wanted to Convert to Auto...


View attachment 1776336

So.. JEM..highly coloured Auto ..

then the first cross was purely accidental ..
Afghan dom Auto.

Then White Russian (Short Stuffs first Auto Russian) fully Auto

Now..wait..what does anybody need to Convert a photoperiod to an Auto...with the minimum amount of struggle...?

A strong Solid Auto flower base....it would be preferable if they had similar Traits to the photoperiod girl you wanted to convert..but variety was limited... ..

Now I'm sitting with a 3 Auto solid girl... with an assortment of good Afghan/kush genetics in it...

View attachment 1776338

Bit of theory into practice here...I'd converted JEM and the second cross to fully Auto myself..and I Really enjoy a photo to Auto roll.. when you see a huge photo and a tiny Auto with the same traits next to each other knowing they are Sister..with a tiny slip in the genetics..it is Stunning...

The first photoperiod I saw that I wanted to convert was Deep Chunk..and it was because I'm looking at photos in threads thinking.. that's one of mine..I recognise it..then finding out it was a Deep Chunk...I had very similar traits in my Auto....Ding Dong..

Had a Word with the Deep Chunk Keepers.. explained the project..Mighty pain killer...they were fully on board..and got me access to original genetics.. straight out the breeders pocket..before repro.....

All White at the time..but boom..Black Dragon...... going over as Easily as I expected...and 100 times my expectations in beauty and effect...

From the Deep Chunk roll...I took my standard leaf finger count from a JEM 5-7..up to 7-9..and getting a lot more Indica dominant fat head phenos...and that is the direction I should have gone in the first place...instead of chasing the red..but all experience huh..?.... options were always there.. homework and experience affects the choices.

@Mossy Would you consider back crossing into deep chunk now? Or would you class that as going backwards

As much of a Surprise as the DC cross intensifying all of my colours out to grand magnificence.......those NL Bitches in the post above Killed all of my colours.... strangled..suffocated...and all consumed by a storming NL dominance and gone..with nary a fart..eaten.

Consigned to the back of the genetics selection available at the time...but... still swirling there ..for when the time is right to rise...

#HighNoon @Enigma ...smoke em if you've got em.....unfiltered...?...

 

[Enigma]

Damn they are looking like Mossy

I'd say yes, unfiltered

Those Jem are looking awesome

I wouldn't... because..the selection is rising...and with a bit of Luck and a tailwind...

...I should be able to pick a 90% DC dominant outta there anyway in 2 generations......

I should say #WhiteRabbits #WhiteRabbits here..coz just like your kids..if you say they will do something..they do the opposite..

If a person was looking at it and wanted to Magnify the DC dominant traits out of the crosses..yup...hit her back with DC..

I had some DC photo period out on the patio a few years ago...just incase I'd moved too far from the original..I would have back crossed her in if I had..but she didn't need it...

My eye is still on the fat heads..the colours on the front two is Stunning...they are literally Flashing me... ..I like the bottom ones wild arrangement of colours.. including the green centres..but the top one is lifting her neck..flashing white at me..and looks more DC thick trics..

Spoilt for choice huh..?......

 

[Enigma]

Will you be breeding/selecting from any of these? Like a select branch on a couple of the best ladies

Stunning is a good describing word
The burgandy and green do make them pop......

Was each row you'd sown from a different batch ?

I cannot tell a Lie........

... Probably..coz it is compulsive...but it is not the main project...and I think with another 2 generational..mass crosses...I should have More to pick from.

The males (matching) are long dead...these girls are too old to breed now...and I don't breed on my cold outdoor conditions because they usually abort...so..not on these pots....

The two pots are different selections on the F7's.....mass germ.

I meant to put 1 pot of F7 mass germ out...and one I split off into a white only line..(f2 for white only)..but... #ISmokeDope .....I stuck two different F7's instead..

At least you know that your selections are correct and what direction your going with them due to the side by side comparison

I find it easier to work like that... ..a dance floor of regular girls..makes the Specials stand out.....


Hopefully these are the F2 whites...I should have put in......and there is enough cold season left to see which are black leaf resistant.
