Its the start of a 4-day weekend for me! So that means it is MEGA UPDATE TIME!!!
As always I am going to start out with some thank you shout outs to the generous folks here at OG…
@anon93244739 Thank you for the flips of Freakshow x Stealth Fighter. As I said I plan to use them if/when I need to re-introduce some genetic variation to the Freakshow I am playing with. Having not bred any of these I am not 100% sure, but since these are all Ff for the mutant leaves, crossing this back to Freakshow (ff) should result in 50% of the resulting progeny having the mutation. Much easier than needing to run an extra generation to then only get 25% mutants. Thank You!
@Kcity87 The Lavender Frosting arrived safely, along with the accidental 2ed pack of Henchman F1’s. I am gonna pass them along to someone IRL who doesn’t have the access to seeds (Short of spending big $$$ at a seedbank) that OG provides!
@DougDawson aka Mr OGenerous himself, The Apollo Ape and AutoMaria2 x Royal Creamatic’s landed! Not running either immediately, as my lineup card is already turned in to the umps, but soon! As far as you know is the AutoMaria2 x Royal Creamatic an AutoFem or AutoMF (regular)?
@JohnnySeed Thank You for the STS stuff! My first go at reversing stuff failed as documented here, so hopefully before the fall I can successfully reverse and save some of the strains, from fem seed, I currently have re-vegging. Also gonna help me keep some of the fem-only auto’s out there. Also, I am following along with your First Autos thread .
@catapult Thank You for the I have never run any Bodhi gear but their rep proceeds them… Now I can! The other half of each cross are no slouches either! Also my 1st time getting 3 different flips in one piece of mail! Super generous of you!
@Oldjoints Thank you for the Raspberry Cough. This is a coveted strain and I will be forwarding half of them to another fellow OG’er. Also, thanks for reaching out, not once but twice, to help me ID these when they showed up! +1Karma.
@anon4675195 Your Tycho Monolith have landed on Mars, condition Green, Over.
But seriously your really hooked it up! lots of seeds! I got 5 of these soaking for the current Autos only run. They got the last slot! Also every time I think of this I mentally misname it Tycho Brahe… Tycho Brahe - Wikipedia . Which i guess kinda makes sense!
On to my garden goings on…
The girls in the flower cab are doing pretty good and getting pretty close to harvest…
Unfortunately I took this pic just before the Forbidden Jelly clone that got hit with @DougDawson 's PPPPollen went back into its slot. I will try and get a pic of that one for you tonight…
My Cotton Candy Kush Auto x Knights Templar Kush breeding project is moving along, not smoothly but moving along. The males started popping pollen, so I pulled them out of the flower cab. Then I grouped them into groups of 4, with 1 male and 3 females per group, and “up potted” them into “super one” 1gal squares. Basically I filled the 1 gal’s 2/3 with soil then placed 4 of the bottomless tree pots onto this base, so that the roots can grow into this new soil. Most of them already had roots hanging out the bottom from sitting atop the soil of larger pots in the flower cab…
Then I had to move them outside, which was fine for a few days, until we were hit with this heat wave. We had 5 days in a row at 115 degrees, and even in the shade they are looking very much the worse for the wear.
Thankfully I am taking these to a friend who has a small space open and can run them for the next 2-4 weeks, indoors, consistent 12/12. Should do them wonders. Then when they come back I will cull the males and put back into the cab to finish. Thankfully I have already seen evidence of some pollination before they cooked… we will see…
On a happier note my Blueberry auto’s from Mark, which have been outside under 50% shade cloth for a few weeks already, are thriving. Where I am day length is currently 15h10m day and 8h50m night. So I can’t shed any light on if these are full auto or not, but at 15/9 they are flowering…The females are doing their stretch and males are just opening their first flowers.
Out of the 8 I kept 2 are males (back left and back right), and 6 are females, one of which is seriously dwarfed compared to her siblings (front left). I am gonna leave the males for another week or two, so I should end up with plenty of seeds of this strain…
Finally a shot of my Forbidden Jelly mum, that accidentally budded outside, was mostly harvested, re-vegged with the remaining pistils hit with @DougDawson 's PPPPollen. I don’t know if the seeds will ripen, if it will re-veg, if I will be able to take clones off her later in the summer, all of the above, or none of the above. But something will happen…
The 3 Freakshow seedlings courtesy of @anon71563794 's seeds are starting to slowly accelerate in growth. Here they are today…
Finally I have my lineup for my next, all auto run, all figured out I am/will be running:
5x CinderEvil AutoFem from @Mr.Sparkle
5x Spotted Lime f2 AutoMF from @JBow918
5x Tycho Monolith AutoMF from @anon4675195
7x Sour 60 AutoMF from @cannabliss
4/5 of the CinderEvil and 5/5 of the Spotted Lime F2’s are already above ground, the Tycho Monolith are soaking and the Tangie/Lime are in the mail…
That is all for now, thanks for tuning in!
Stay High and Stay Safe,
Dirtron
