Completed Round 1 Breeding Grow

This is a Test Field
Swamp-Lilly of the Zoo's Grow House Breeding

week 5 MALES

so the boys have gone into their forever homes, a little 2x2x4, with a single COB for lighting. They don't have much room, but then again they dont really need it. they seem to be staying prettty compact. The taller one is so pretty. he's so symmetrical, and he already has 9 point leaves. I think if I don't top him he will get 11's on him. and he's got such a nice smell to his stem. the other is more compact, but has no smell whatsoever. something about him i just don't like as much. can't put my finger on it, but it's there. They're getting tall, already halfway up the tent wall. I always get nervous right around this time. One mistake and all my other girls are done for. (Don't mind so much the other breeding babies, but my chems are getting controlled pollination, so I still have plenty to smoke) both plants are the same color, its just that I Had to desaturate the red from one of the pics of the tall one, because the purple was so bright that I couldnt see the pollen sacs very well.

Hey lilly, looks pretty good! Green and healthy.. going strong, great job ! What nutrients do you use if I might ask? I see your about to do the LST method, I’ve been doing some research on that method and I’m going to do it for my girls as well! I got 4 girls in the tent as we speak. The one thing I saw is that your plant looks alittle droopy.. but should bounce right back.. I’ve come to notice that a lot of these strains are very good at that as long as you give them the TLC they require lol and yes , those leaves are looking pretty damn big, you might have a couple giants on your hands lol looking forward to seeing the progress on those suckers
 
@Mykal2101 Yeah, they look a little droopy, but thats the way they are growing. they also droop a little a nighttime for them, which is when these photos were taken. I've seen a couple that have downturned leaves like that before. one of my photos has leaves that are like cupped hands, and they're huge and glossy. We will see what happens. I agree with you, a couple of them look like monsters. one of those if about 4 days older than the others, and a male as well, though. He's the one in the white sq. 2 gal on the left. the one in the air pot i think is a female, though, and she is getting big FAST. I feed with Sensi. Gave them a little recharge as well yest. they are living in Potters Gold, and under those 2 COBs. One I have in my auto closet,(the other big one, and it's under the edge of my bloombeast. I have 2 more coming down this week - creme de la chem, and one other, then all the babies will be in the auto closet.
 
what little cob lights are you using?

CITIZEN - CLU048 1212 w/meanwell drivers 100w single chip. that light is so cool I was able to stick one in a 2x2x4 tent with 2 males, and they got all over the light and didn't toast, and it stayed cool enough in there with fans. the heat sinks on it make it pretty easy to clean the pollen off, too. i hate cleaning cooling fans. it pulls about 54 true watts. one of my favorites, aside from my new lights. t
hanks for msging me. I got so busy getting classes started i didn't realize it had been over a week since i updated. :p
 
I've been doing some similar after this round I'm gonna do cdlc x alf#5 and I've got a few others. That male has some awsome color how was the overall structure? I'm very interested to see how this goes. If you can tag me I would love to follow sending good vibes and karma ur way.
 
@Fitzy Not sure how to tag, other than to give u a follow. I'm still a little new here, and learning my controls. i have a Creme, A Chem, A 3 bears, and my 2 girls all pollinated with the purple male, and the green one, too, but not as hard. Everything auto got it, because i want some of those strong genetics in there. If you look at the table of contents to the right of the entry, at the top, you will see a list of pages. THere are photos of the males in there, before i cut them down. They were similar in structure to the females, more closely the green one. The males came from a strain called "menage-a-Tyrone" from MEphisto, which was reversed by a breeder called GreenWorks Collective, and crossed with the Deep Sea Creature. The female was of course, all Mephisto. I'm hoping the second round will get a little bit of Creme in there, and some Chem. So far my seeds from the F1 are pretty 50-50. 100% germination so far.
I just popped 6 more, and got the opposite as far as sex, than i did the first time. first time i had 4 males, 2 females. I can wait to see if these other females are anything like Viola. If they are, my GOODNESS, do i have a winner. I think im going to call them "Plum Forgot'. Smells like Rotting plums, and is sticker than they are.

That awsome I love seeing and doing auto regs so far. I think that the crosses are better than the originals in most case's. Also to tag me u put an @ symbol then my name so it would look like this @Fitzy u can use it for others aswell just use there name. I will be watching for sure

Thats dope! you got a lot going on.
I got just enough c4 pollen to breed 4 plants.
c4, blackberry, sweet gelato and a photo-period bruce banner are all getting pollinated.

I forgot to start a journal on here but heres a link to my breeding grow on grow diaries.

the plant i hit with colloidal silver i only did 4 branches and the pollen sacs grew out of regular buds.
pics are on grow diaries
 
Thanks for checking it out!
first auto grow and my first grow in 5 years!
just built a grow room with panda film.
im super excited about the whole project and i love the active community of growers now!

Once I get somewhere with a bit of space, I want to try some rodelization and fem-seed making, too.
Keep my seed vault stocked, and avoid having the seed postage risk.
 
Lovely work and documentation!
why thank you very much! I also pollinated a Chemdogg, a Creme de la Chem, and a 3 Bears OG. Got a ton of seeds out of both fathers. Managed to keep most of them straight, only have about 75 mystery seeds. I'm really looking forward to documenting my search for something amazing! its for sure easier than ordering, and worrying, but I still have to do some of that, to get more good genetics in there. Since it's all autoflower, I can only save so much. I want a wader variety in there before I start some real pheno hunting though. I think the two in these photos are probably going to get thrown back into the mix, rather than further bred into an F2. I didn't like how loose the bud structure was, and the tastye just was nonexistent after the dry/cure process. Actually the skinny one ended up being better, stonier smoke. But the purple was the better yield, and prettier. I think some of the 3 bears genetics in there will brobably help with the denseness some. Have you seen the journal I did on the 3BOG? that's the one I pollinated. I've just been finalizing all the completed grows with a page on the feed schedule, too.
Never dne fem seeds. Though I have some solloidial silver, I dont know how I feel about doing that to the plants. I kind of like having the full range of genetics in there to play with.
