Didnāt take a closeup today but hereās one of the whole plant about 10 weeks from planting seeds.Iāve been taking a lot of water leaves off to open her up with the humidity here. So far these are the thickest buds to make it this far without succumbing to the āThat which shall not be mentionedā! 
If she can make it to the finish line intact I think we may have a contestant for next long season!

Yo Mikey! I just had a roll of 2m. welded wire left over from roadbuilding, my guys snipped and twisted. We drive re-bar rods in deep and then use industrial-strength zip-ties to secure the cages. That way the cage doesnāt sit on the ground and you can get āinā to the base easierā¦plus gives you more height out of it!
Nice also that if needed you just cut the zip ties, pull the rods out and move it! These were fitted to last seasonās grow where the were fully filled with larger diameter grow bags. But seem to be working well w/ 10 g. airpots.

If you grow large outdoor plants you can put multiple layers of them to support the inside and outside. Usually under construction mesh if youāre looking for it at the hardware store.

Thatās awesome @Tlander ! Thatāll be a valuable cut, if it makes it unscathed. I hope itās the one that says piss off to the botrā¦I wonāt say it!

āsedating/relaxingā, which is exactly what we need right now.
thank you, budderton !!!

Well that was quite a read through @Budderton world 
Amazing plants and work sir! I believe we share similar male trait selection methods and observations that gets the results. It sounds like a really great Afghani line youāve done 
The pine-sol almost makes me think the 808 Corn is more Afghan than Pak lineage. Your A11 and A9 have incredible structure and the colas show it. I tend notice my lurker likers 
Perhaps at a later time when I have drop location for to receive seed, would be worth taking a closer look at a more select Afghani. Actually, Corn x NL 2 MAY be a good addition to your work, your line could bulk it up further, and keep the similar terps within profile. (Yes thatās a hint of an offer) Thatās just an idea that came to mind as I was finishing my thoughts. Iāve throughly enjoyed taking a look and reading a skilled breeders objectives and goals

You arenāt kidding! I think they went out the end of November. Itās crazy how these thing get lost in the cosmos for a few months at a time and then pop up out of nowhere. I glad they finally showed.
And itās absolutely my pleasure to be able to help such a genourus, nice person and theirs. I hope things are starting to tend in a more positive direction for Mrs Sans. Positive vibrations towards the both of you!

Thanks for your words @OriginalDankmaster96 . I appreciate them. Yeah, I look at these as an ingredient, not the main dish. A tool, to be used to make the main event. I still have work to do on them to further narrow phenotype expressions. If you get an address sorted, Iād be glad to send you some packs.

@Tlander what do you use for those maleboxes. I too utilize this method and have for some time in fact. I buy these big ass semi clear totes etc. and they work but are a pita and are like 35$ a pop and tend to only last a couple years as the plastic becomes brittle and cracks, splits and just falls apart. Love the ones you use as they are truly clear so I can eliminate a light inside and just place them under one small led .

Yo @TopShelfTrees1 ! I found them here on the island in the only giant box shop. They look to be Thai-made (or marketed at least!) and are sold as flat-pac shoe boxes. Canāt remember but about $2-3 each. They have small, die-cut corners so you need to tape the corners and 1/2 edges, but its fast & easy with paintersā masking tape. But the humidity inside is a big problem for the pollen. I want to rig up an old computer fan (Knew I kept that drawerfull for a reason!) to āsuckā air out of the box through a Tyvek layer as a filter and another filtered inlet hole on the topā¦some day mayābe, but NOT today!
Meanwhile, I just got a shock when I thought to change out the water in the plastic cup with the male Black Cherry Pie Autosā¦hadnāt realized Iād had them in there for 20 days already! Hereās what I found when I went to wash off the stems!
Haa, haa, haaā¦Me & my Cloners! Iāll see if I can dig up a photo of those boxes, āas soldāā¦I know I took one thinking others would be interested in them too!.
Okay, if you right-click the next image and click āopen in a new tabā, then click the magnifier, you can scan the QR code in the lower right corner:

Thank you so much! Man and that price, Iām on it! Those are some nice roots for 20 days haha nicely done. Love your ingenuity my friend. I do the same thing with a computer fan and I made a vent joke which I line with doubled up furnace filters silicone and gorilla glued to the outside so the fan blows through but no pollen escapes. Hope that helps too. Thank you again.

I love how you throw them in in a cup of water! So smart as it eliminates media height etc. ha I just upped my game huge thanks to you bro! Saweeeet! Plus it makes it easier that way I can keep a cut unflowered, and one flowered . In a much easier time period. Thank you very much

555! Sure @TopShelfTrees1 ! Yes, and if all else fails, in a week or two I get another shot at the chopped plant forming new balls to use! But that ventilation problem needs a solution! Iām thinking to use the opposite approach of āpullingā air āoutā rather than pushing it āinā just because I figure it will have less effect on the pollen on the flowers?
