Yep, day 42. They are starting to ripen up a bit. I imagine they will go 4 more weeks. The one from the first picture has a really string lemony smell like a mix between lemon pepper marinade and fresh squeezed lemonade.
I love seeing/hearing about all the F2 phenos found. That’s why we do open pollination - maximum genetic potential!
Hope they treat you well. Have a good weekend!
Thanks, hope you have a good weekend too. I’ll get some updated shots and descriptions in the next few days.
Remind me how long you took the moms?
The seedless round was taken at day 63 from flip. End of week 9. I feel like they were pretty done, but one pheno was definitely ready at around 56ish, whereas another could have maybe gone 70. But the best one, the hollywood pheno with the delicious flavor and high, was just about perfect at 63F.
Looking great! What’s she smelling like?
You know I’ve been getting this sweet and umami lemon smell. I have some other lemony smelling plants going in the tent as well so I could be getting a mix. When I do a stem rub I try to isolate the smells, but that’s what I’ve been finding.
Looking pretty good. Hope for a healthy finish!
Got any unedited higher resolution shots? I’d love to see the frost and the color of the pistils without the effects you used.
What format are you looking for? Editing wise I adjusted white balance (auto color temp doesn’t work well in the tent) and for some shots exposure. I have added a hint of vignette to make it easier on the eyes.
Just normal jpeg (jpg) but higher resolution would be cool so I could zoom in, with no vignette and no color temp adjustments done manually.
FYI this site allows any resolution on files below 1000KB, but restricts resolution above the filesize of 1000KB. I use a batch resizing app that allows me to set an output resolution or an upper limit of 1000KB on jpgs it spits out. It does a good job of preserving quality, too.
Does your camera have manual or auto white balance adjustment? Just curious - perhaps the lights you’re using are a really weird spectrum and your high end DSLR doesn’t like it?
It has auto, or I can select from the common choices (3200k, 5200k, 4000k, ect).
I’d be interested in trying out that app. I struggle a little with optimizing my photos for this site.
Here’s a post I made about it on another thread:
Should have all the details you need for resolution changes and filesize reductions. If you want to do the max resolution and quality given a specific filesize, you rename the app to something like “PhotoResizeK1000.exe” where the K#### indicates that you want it to manage the best photo quality and highest rez up to the number in KB.
Hope that helps!
Planning to pop some beans for the next round. I’m considering running some of Bodhi’s Dread Bread x SSDD. I may try my hand at selective pollination and make a small batch of f2s. Other options I might do would be Dragon Temple from Magic Spirit or Silver Mountain f2. Decisions…
That ssdd cross should be nice. I’d love to see that ! All of them sound like winners though
I think run whatever speaks to you and, no matter what you choose, do a small personal seed increase with each male and female you find to practice the skills and techniques, to look through them in the future, and to perhaps even share.
Did a lighter top dressing that should hopefully take me through harvest with 2 tsp biolive and 3 tsp flower girl.
Under a full moon I Dropped 6 Dread Bread x SSDD and 4 Blue Ripper into an H2O/H2O2 bath and then into the paper towel sauna.
Full Moon sprouting is bad ass.
