This is 23 days of 12/12 and the progress may seem slow, but the temperatures in the garage under a 100 watt LED are not conducive to fast growth. I am quite impressed with them in that regard and they are showing their pedigree.
I decided to remove M33-2-M from the cabinet and just let M33-4-M and M33-5-F go for it by themselves. They appear to be the same phenotype, so if the female is nice, there’s at least a reasonable chance that the male may be worth playing with - I know this isn’t guaranteed.
I have a copy of the M33-2-M in a veg cabinet in the house - is it still called a mother plant if its male? So if I don’t like the female, I could just keep M33-2-M and pop some more seeds to keep looking through. Kwik was generous on the number of seeds by the way.
The male kept, has a good number of flowers showing and has been growing very well in the cold.
I promise to not put labels on future photos - it was just to connect the descriptions above.
The girl is starting to show some frost and pistils and is looking a little like @Shevchenko 's above, which has me hopeful.
Has anyone successfully taken clones and kept a mother of Friesland? I’m gonna try but do you think it will be difficult or impossible because they are semi-autos?
I hold three female plants and one male Friesland from SSSC
By the way, all of them, including and guy bloomed and were returned to VEG
Therefore, talking about semi-auto is not appropriate, at least it is not about my plants …
Now about 5 clones are waiting for the end of the month to move to a permanent place under the sun …
My Friesland is from RSC(kwik) and though they were a little early and fairly fast they certainly aren’t “semi auto”. Not sure where that came from but I’ve also seen several other takes on the name applied to crosses.
Clones rooted so I flipped to 12/12. They rooted in only 7 days which is such a nice change from trying to clone finicky plants like Urkle and all the Kushes that I usually grow.
Thank you. I’ve been using LC’s Mix #1 with Recipe #1 as a ‘base soil’ and Subcool’s original super soil (SS) recipe with added kelp meal and alfalfa meal. The SS is at the bottom 1/3 of the pot and the base soil fills up the rest. The Friesland loves it but it’s too strong for OG Kush which I am also growing.
Still too cold here to put plants outside. It’s only been a week now where we have been above freezing. Farmers Almanac is telling me not to put plants outside until june 26 but I have a cold frame greenhouse so they will go out june 10th at the earliest. By then they should be 6weeks old and ready for thier final planting spot. All 12 of the seeds are up and growing so everything is on track
I’m going to cross Coastal Blueberry with Friesland to make a shorter flowering blueberry line for my region/latitude… Blueberry Friesland sounds good to me hehehe
, I will soon start to grow mines …
