Making Space Monkey F2s aka Elgato Gets In Over His Head

Hey y’all. Gonna be using this thread to document my Space Monkey F2 project. My plan is to get around 32 individuals together for an open pollination and then make selections from there. It’s gonna be a little ambitious of a project but I have the space so might as well use it

Soaking the seeds right now and already have 5 females from a pack I started a few months ago.

Should be more than enough to get the number I’m looking for. Gonna grow them out and make clones as soon as I can. The goal is to start flowering by the end of the year.

Best of luck buddy, this will be fun to watch.

I’ve only heard rave reviews of Space Monkey and I’ve grown GG4 from clone just never space monkey…

but I’ll gladly swap some beans with you once this project is finished, if Dank Sinatra F2’s or other things I’m working on strike your fancy @Elgato

Very cool project! Ive read great things about this strain but never had the pleasure myself. I’ll definitely be following along!

Have you had the chance to flower the other 5 females? If so what did you find?

This race to space is definitely on—good luck with the mission!
I’ll be following along.
I’m running a Space Monkey grow: opened a pack of 12 and ended up with 3 solid females, two came out with flaws, and the rest turned out male. I’m in the third week of flower now, aiming for my first reproduction. Hopefully I can collect pollen in the coming days, and if all goes well, I can also send some your way to crack open a bit more of this genetic treasure chest.

I decided to get it from what I read. Definitely holds up.

I’m almost finished growing out clones I made and they’ve been awesome. Vigorous plants. There’s a bunch of pics in my grow log.

Keeping 2 for now as potential moms. The other 3 I’m gonna toss after this project.

This one is currently my favorite.

Started planting the sprouts yesterday. Got 27 so far and 3 more I’m gonna plant tonight.

Assuming they all end up surviving I should have the number I’m looking for.

Ended up with 32. More than enough for the number I’m looking for. 2 or 3 of them are runts I likely won’t keep so I’ll pick 2 or 3 out of the 5 that I already have to replace them.

Gonna be fun to see what I get.

Quick update for now. I kept 29 of the ones I started from seed and I have 3 females from my last grow to get us to 32. Gonna be topping them soon for the first time. Other than that they’re coming along just fine.
