Herbie's Hothouse

[Herbie]

The stretch is real and so I’ve taken some clones from the most promising. One diminutive plant was not attempted yet. Most of the plants have stretched the side branches even with the tops now. Some have 11 fingers per fan. Should be able to sex them all soon.

Hoping to get a few seed from some of these in case one is special. There is one plant that has some beautiful leaves. The leaves are broad and wide with a very defined structure. When I plucked a leaf to get some airflow the odor was just stank. Very resinous. See the last photo above

There were definitely a couple seed mothers that leaned heavily towards that --grilled fruit smothered in butter-- smell, as did a couple of the male pollen donors.

That seems pretty pervasive for this stage…there aren’t even preflowers. The stretch on these makes it tough for a cabinet.OTOH they were young and I only gave them 30 days so not mature either going into the flip.If there is a shorter less stretchy girl and I have a nice male I’ll certainly try to sort it. Certainly this would do well outdoors.

[Herbie]

So we had 8 germ from 10. And we are at the flowering stage now with real flowers beginning to show at the end of the stretch. I’ve chosen a male after discussing the selection with @Sebring and there are two remaining females. All of the plants seem to have the desirable smell traits of the strain …the male is the most pungent though. Of the 3 he exhibits some huge wide leaves.while both girls are narrower and all have shown 11 fingers.

Looking good @Herbie! Got here a little late to get in on those SSDD, but they’re some awesome sounding genetics! Cant wait to see how they turn out!

[Sebring]

Bodhi has told us that the second he stops selling pure SSDD, which he never produces anything for too long, that we have his blessing to dish out the rest of the SSDD seed jars <-plural

Seems to still be using an SSDD male for breeding though. Not surprised as awesome as that pheno is. Both the females were nicely flavored and yield-ed/ing superb smoke.

I had forgotten how handsome that male was …I have 2 of these at F3 from the pictured plants and they are at about 3 weeks into flower, Will get some pics up before,ahem…Spring His name was Arnold.

The F3’s are from the above male and the female that was named Sade because she was a smooth operator.

[Herbie]

The 2 SSDD F3 females

[Herbie]

Sour pheno. Have a few of these f3 seeds. Going to hunt some of these for something special soon…

[Herbie]

I split the seeds from the f2’s with Sebring back a year ago …my intention was to run them and make f4’s to spread around. I still have these and have grown one round of f3’s. The webbed girl showed up in the f3’s Very chunky that time. I have no f4’s from them but did cross them to the 10-D SL BX male.

I am probably at least 3 maybe 4 runs from getting to these. If someone else wants to run them it could likely be arranged

[Herbie]

There were reasons behind the male choice here. His structure is stout and he is very stinky. It was an objective to build some stronger stalk support since the buds get so heavy and the plant tends to flop a lot with all the stretch.

The current thread is New Beans New Babies it is of SL BX x GojiQM from the Snow Lotus BX V1 and the Unknown Mother thread. These are at f2 and were 10-D Just looking at the f2’s this time around and identifying pheno types There are 4 girls.

When this run is done the plan is to IX the BD/CQ clone with the f1’s I made from the 10-D male.

After that there was a cross to a Holy Punch from @Meesh and I will be running those f1’s and then a run of g13hp88…assuming I live that long.

SSDD f4’s may get priority in here somewhere too…

[Herbie]

The IX or f1 of the BD/CQ was mostly males and thus I did not really get ot see what the girls were like…the lone female was pretty heavily seeded.

I had a few from that male crossed back to the BD/CQ Currently needing to take some clones from her.

SL BX I have cloned and it is doing well …the donor clone was getting large but the pests and other issues have it looking pretty raggedy. Love the smell of that plant. Got to flower these out soon.

[Herbie]

Been long enough now can claim at least a temporary victory over the mites. The circumstances that made it difficult to control might be worth noting for others in that I am running in cabinets. Cabinets do not sit right on the floor and may not be caulked and sealed. In my case they were not.

One had an intake with a filter in it in the floor. A filter was in it but I removed that and sealed and caulked both cabinets and painted the interiors one more time. Then a 2 week absence of all flowering. Followed with the use of horticultural oil on all vegging plants. Finally released predator mites.

Have not seen any since.

[Herbie]

Nothing makes them perk up like real sunlight even if it was filtered thru a window

SSDD Sunshine Daydream f3 @ 17 days

@Meesh and some chives I bought

[Meesh]

I am attempting to germ some chives under lights right now. If this doesn’t do it, I give up!!!

[Herbie]

SSDD @ 23 days

[Meesh]

Looking good! I got 2 Females!!! Stoked! I ended up buying a chive starter. Couldn’t even get seeds to germ under lights. lol

What kind of soil do you use?

[Herbie]

That’s the same thing it came home in. All the others are in Mother Earth Coco-Loco and I added some basalt rock dust. Been feeding with MegaCrop v3 All in there get the same thing. Added a rosemary plant too It’s way in the back and hard to see.

I am topping at node 6 this time and intend to cull the weak branches. Starting at the bottom and leaving the strongest 4-6. Six of the eight had already reached that point 2 days ago The two on the left have not yet been topped but will be soon.

SSDD @ about 30 days

[George]

Glad you left back those little bastards, your plants looking beautiful …

[Herbie]

I have enough seeds to run these again. I will and collect some seed from the best females of both runs…then re-evaluate. I think they should start showing sex in a couple more weeks and should be recovered from the topping.

There are a couple of them showing wider leaves and some showing shorter branchier structure. I remember it mattered not at all that they were short, they stretch just as much
