For my second grow I decided to dedicate some time to this lovely hybrid donated to me by @Instg8ter. They’re currently in plastic cups filled with a base soil mix of coco coir, pearlite, and EWC. I soaked them until they all sank (maybe 6hrs) and then direct germinated. 3 days later we have some sprouts- a lot of helmet heads!
C, D, and H have not sprouted yet- wondering if they maybe are struggling with their shells. Will see next week if they are still struggling I might help them out.
Hahaha I just smoked my last joint of the mother plant with an 8 month cure, much smoother skunk later in cure. At first it was a bit more acrid. The Pineapple Thai should go good with it. These were old stock SK1 x Black Pearl x Pineapple Thai heirloom from 707.
His description fits what my nose is telling me on the one I have 70ish days into flower very well. She has the most wonderful pinene smell too her, that carried through to the tester I cut. Acrid definitely, at first I thought one of the cats pissed somewhere. It’s a mind fuck how well the two smells are playing with each other.
I looked at them last night, maybe 40-50% cloudy, the rest clear. I grabbed another tester, still drying. She’s stopped throwing pistols now I think, but many are still white.
I may have stunted her at one or more points from my various learning mistakes. The major one I think I have confirmed now is nutrient lockout from alkaline tap water. She was pretty yellow before I fixed it, and that wasn’t until like a month ago. Think it’ll produce anymore or maybe just wrap it up this weekend?
Pineapple Thai may have put a bit of time on if it’s a Sativa leaner, I’d let it go if it’s still taking nutes… the SK1x BP is 75% Sativa I believe so it’s possible if they stalled to go 90
These days I let my plants eat theme selves from the bottom up, may be some great trip weed early. I would give it a week if she stays green and see if it goes mostly cloudy and take it. That was the first pollen chuck I ever did. The SK1 x BP was from a small gifted collection and came along with a few of the old breeding stock from Black Pearl being Mr. Natural (and Nice maybe). MTF from Alaskan Seeds and a mix I haven’t gotten too that’s supposed to have G-13, Golden Tiger and some other oldies. It also contained a AK x BP (85%S) that was flat out fresh tanned leather. smelled great, very acrid smoke with a decent buz, but the taste was not pleasant to me.
Here we have only three, the smallest of the four slipped as I was examining and uh… it didn’t like the spontaneous repot. In it’s place is a little indica in the mix with a Space Monkey F2 from @Vagabond_Windy . I was going to grow out four and do a log for them but only 1/4 germinated. I’ll have to be more rigorous next go.
This monster clone here was taken off my last Sk1 x BP x PT female, looks like it might actually keep up with the seeds, maybe their vigor will over take it. It’s been rooted for a month or so now and finally got upgraded to a 3 gal pot.
I’m told these people plants stink? I just smell a lovely pine smell. Ok, maybe a little bit of ammonia or unwashed teenage armpit. But the smoke cures just fine, think this will be in my tent for a while.
I’m trying to remember if those Space Monkey F2 were the ones I made? Or the ones I was gifted?
If they were mine, expect them to be a bit difficult to crack, as I was away from my seed collection for 2 years and they weren’t stored like I would.
Good luck
I still have a clone of my first female; and it’s just so damn spindly. I attempted to train it and I think the crotch split. At least she’s still showing true female! Lovely little pistols all around.
The three seedlings took well to the pinch I gave the tops. One is filling out wonderfully, but one is shedding all but it’s top two sets of leaves. I’ve watched it drop 2 sets of fan leaves that weren’t shaded. Would low light cause this?
Everything happy. I topped the seedlings and I don’t know that I should’ve. It seems like they lost a lot of vigor, but maybe they were building roots. The monster clone is doing good. I’m thinking I may take some clones off of her instead of seeds next time I get open space.
