Beauty shots before her trim. Gotta get those clones rocking if I ever want that Ice Pie 4x4.
I took her top and 3 good looking branches, and the top of the next branch down. Giving me 5 shots to root her out.
In other cloning news
Erdbeer 0/3 so far
Sunday Driver 2/3
Blue Raspberry Truffle 3/5
MAC1 3/10
Roots might be a quarter inch long so they got a few more days in the cloner before they go into solos and of course the other cuts get more time.
Over with the autos, the pairing of 2 plants per bag is currently going well all 6 are settling in nicely and over in their bags by themselves Mephisto’s “Mango Smile” and @DEFSeeds’ “Sledgehammer”(which has shown she’s a girl) are racing each other it seems. Both are doing beautifully. The other sledgehammer grew one weird 3 bladed leaf that stretched way out… and died. One Thor’s hammer dampened off and the other was a dude. May try them again next round.
I guess I’m going to have to up pot ShishkaVida to get her to show what she is. They’re all still in solo cups and being difficult even with my loupe.
And on the madness continues!

Long wait this time. Christmas, what can I say. The kid came home and I dropped offline for the most part.
Cloning update
Final count
Erdbeer 1/3

@Maddawg i can’t thank you enough for getting her back to me brother. A small part of me gets a little mushy when I look at her.

Well lookie what finally made it to the North West!
Thank you so much @joheimgrohen
Can’t wait to use the auto Fem pollen… Being that… What would you recommend dusting? Another auto? Or a photo fem?
Never made seeds,but that’s about to change

I dusted a longer flowering strain in hopes of making to flower quicker. I hit ISS x CT from AK BB.

Ahh, gotcha. That’s smart… You sure you smoke?
I do have some ISS X… Something.
Would the resulting seeds be autos or regs?
Or do it and find out 
I’ve got some Sensible Seeds Banana Sherbert photos fems I won over on RIU that I would love to get more seeds from 
.

I believe, and I could be very wrong here, they would be fast fems because it’s fem auto pollen crossed to a photo.

All depends on what you’re aiming for.
Know that the auto flowering trait is recessive as such, if it can be dominated it will be. Crossing an auto to a photo first round will produce 0 auto flowering offspring. What you’re supposed to get are photo dominant plants with recessive auto traits or “fast flowering photos” (Rumored to shorten flowering times by 1-2 weeks) I’ve not confirmed this personally. All of my crosses have been pure auto or pure photo. Take 2 of those fast flowering plants and their offspring should be (statistically) 25%photo, 50%fast flowering, and 25%auto. At least as i understand it, but I’m no geneticist.

Y’all, there’s been some shit happen in the “Grohen” family. I’ve been out of the Grow for a few days because my wife had an emergency abdominal surgery because of an ulcer and perforated intestine. Surgery was a success and she is on the mend.
Y’all listen to your bodies, if we’d have waited another half hour, I don’t think she’d be in “recovery”.

Onto some growing updates, happier subject, mostly.
I’m only taking 3 of Ice Pie’s clones forward Eben though I want to take them all, I just won’t have room. Erdbeer’s clone is settling nicely and should start vegging aggressively soon. And Mac 1 is set for an up pot and a trim down, and more cloning attempts.
Over in the auto tent, most of them are not happy and that may be the 2 plants per bag coming back to bite me. Mango Smile and Sledgehammer are perfectly content, if thirsty
As expected there is quite a bit of variation in the F1s both Blueberry Froyo and Scoutcicle have a tall one and a short one on their bags and both Froyo s1 look the same. The taller Scoutcicle is showing some early purple so she may get DARK
And Mango Smile got her first STS treatment tonight.

Got the wife to send me some nice pics of my present selfing auto project.
Mephisto’s Mango Smile auto fem
Again thanks to @rasterman for providing the seed she’s just got her first STS treatment on two branches on the back from that view

Glad to hear she’s recovering Jo 
This is especially true for men. We seem to think we are invincible and procrastinate when there are “new” pains.
Diverticulitis almost got me cus I was to proud to complain about some stomach pains. If I’d not gotten to the hospital in time.
Shit bag and loss if intestines for life. Glad I went when I did

Now they all won’t have that purple. That’s from the GSC x Black Cream so roughly a 50/50 shot at the purple. The plant behind it is a Scoutcicle also, just green.

Just stepped in for a fresh look-see. You have this run by the short and curlies. Couple more weeks and it will be high-time. Nice work, bruh.
