I’m not so concerned about rot because I live in a very dry climate - but perhaps I should be more wary of that (?)

You are lucky, i have the exact opposite 
it’s less of an issue for you than for me but you still need decent air circulation for general plant health. Also a load of leaves bunched up together will sweat and could attract mold even in a dry climate. I’ve lost too many fat colas to bot rot over the years but finding the solutions has made me a better grower.

The stretch is well under way! I did some minimal defoliation to help airflow through the bottom 3rd and make watering/feeding easier.

This morning I pollinated one branch of the CBDream female with pollen collected from the CBDream x Critical Kush male - so back-crossing to his aunt. I plan to back cross these BX1 CBDream x (CBDream x Critical Kush) to another CBDream female and possibly once more after that - for a BX3.

I noticed a couple more more fungus gnats hanging around so I decided to apply some nematodes. We’ve never had them in our house before, so I suspect they caught a ride with our geckos’ habitats that were at a friend’s place for a few weeks.
On another note, I think the buds fattened up just since this morning.

Very excited to announce that my selective germination effort seems to have worked! The buds that I hit on the CBDream with the CBDream x Critical Kush pollen appear to have some particularly round, swollen calyxes!

This morning I noticed the Cali-O x Durban is showing signs of some sort of deficiency or possible nutrient excess. Didn’t have time to really look into it, but will try to post a pic later…

Cell phone pics for a quick update at 4 weeks and 5 days. The last shot shows the issue that the Cali-O x Durban is having.

I’ve been selectively harvesting over the past two weeks. A lot of the tops were done, while the mids and lowers still had some ripening to go.
The only one that was taking its time was the Cali-O x Durban/DTHF. Not a lot of trichome production, and it foxtailed like a muthafucka. Chopped it today. A bit early but I’d like this one to be upbeat.
I’ll do a final weigh out on all 4 strains in a few weeks and take some photos of the cured nugs.

Can’t belive I missed this thread, lol.
It’s soooo cool to see the mothers of my children grow up! 
Seeing specific traits on the 4 now, like hight, leaves, and how bushy they grow, regardin forgetting to label them 
Not sure ofc

The parents of your seeds were actually the grow previous to this one. The CBDream x Critical Kush in this grow is a sister (same generation) of the ones I sent you. Once yours are harvested and cured, you’ll know which ones are CBDream x CK by the smell (bananas)!

I kept them around a meter max. They might have gotten taller. Much depends on how soon you switch to 12/12.

I’m getting the new pots next week (autopot) so I’m flipping them a few days after Repotting. The pots are fairly similar in size.
