Bag seed - Birthday Cake?
It’s a late start on the grow log, but here it goes… 4 weeks into flower, knocked the whole room up after taking cuttings of all. Keeping males and cuttings in other blocked rooms, while I let the Mint Chocolate Chip 8 males pollinate all the above varieties, some with multiple phenos. They are swollen all over and frosty. Birthday Cake bag seed looks and smells amazing.
In the pics are some nug shots from the previous grow which was soil
So, the Birthday Cake bag seed looks by far the best, structure, Frost, yield, etc. I hope to get a lot of beans out of her.
I got mostly males from my Mint Chocolate Chip F2’s, with 2 females, both small and I wouldn’t consider them keepers. They are in the lower 20% in size at 4 weeks.
However, I did get some pretty buff studs and I’m hoping the studs carry most of the vigor the females didnt.
Hoping the male studs of the MCC will breed vigor into the female Birthday Cake.
Here’s an updated pic, I’m following the House and Garden feeding chart to a T, but with some additives and stuff, up until week 6 when I introduced Mother of all blooms ( MOAB) and cut nutrients back 50%
Either they are nice and swelled calyxes or your got seeds growing. . . kind of hard to tell in the pics, still looks dark, but if your following your feeding chart and not adding extra nitrogen then your doing great and it’s just that plants genotype that makes it dark
Edit-its seeds
Thanks for the advice! I actually dropped some of the base nutrient levels more and added a little more bud stimulator, and they’re lightening up a lot and some purple on the tips of the calyxes of some.
Yes, growing seeds to be clear, so i can back up some strains for a later season.
