Fairly okay growth for 3 days after sampling. I found the “sweet spot” for earliest testing without making the seedling all wacky. … Last time I took samples right as soon as there was 1/2" of regular leaf and the seedlings would often act all weird; this time I waited until the second set of leaves were juuuust forming within the node & took my half-inch sample :+1:

Male. Damn. Oh well. But, on the plus side, i got this result 15 days from dropping seed which is pretty amazing IMO

I culled everything in my 2x2 because i had a couple clones that were acting weird. What better time to revisit this cross :crossed_fingers:

Stay tuned, testing in about 7-10 days if all goes well. Hoping for 2-4 females.

Good luck bro. I’m excited for you. Congrats on your first cross. :facepunch: Breeder Bob (Bichin’) is a cool guy. And Archive is a local favorite here. Though somehow I’ve never had Slurricane. :eyes:

I think I’ll probably just get these 5 out of 6 but that’s enough :+1:

This one seedling is a BEAST, it’s nearly big enough to send out a sex test. Just waiting for the rest to catch up

These two look on-point to me, not as big as the beastly one but overall I’d say the right size for their age (8 days)

This one is HELLA short but looks good IMO

This one has looked really weird since it sprouted. For now, I’m just chalking it up to possibly being the leaves were impinged on the membrane as it emerged from the seed :man_shrugging:t2: kinda hoping this one tests male so I can cull it.

Testing goes out soon!

Nice growth, considering the VPD in this tent has literally been between 2.5-3. :man_shrugging: I damped off the PBB fem seed, because like an idiot I didn’t consider that the dome is off, which means the coco cells dry up too quickly to effectively germinate a seed :man_shrugging: oh well.

Test results soon :+1::+1: once i figure out how many females I’m working with, I’ll fill in my gaps with some other fems instead of dropping more of this cross. It’ll give me more variety at harvest :ok_hand:

Damn dude, it’s a straight sausage-fest :cry:. Oh well, at least I got one. I think maybe I’ll pop a few more :man_shrugging:

Yep, looks like you need to be popping a few more @RookieBuds . Unkind results but that’s the way it goes sometimes. If I’ve got lots of seed I usally start 3 times more then I need. A few don’t make it and I cull around ½ pre flower. Do you have any plans for the males or are you just looking at females this run?

I’m limited to only six plants — which funny enough, I have two in flower at the time I ran these 6 seeds so I snuck a couple in :wink::joy:. I don’t expect to get that lucky again

I’ll just drop 3 more and see what happens :man_shrugging: I have extra test kits :+1:

3/3 on the next round :metal:
The single female from the first group of seeds is doing really well

It’s recently gone up. Thru Farmer Freeman, it’s 15/ea or 120 for 10, and i think theres a 50 for 500 option. I always wait for the 4/20 sale to re-up on mine

Man not a bad deal. Still a bit more than I can justify with my financial situation. The old fashion way for me it is lol. Good to know it’s available though. Great job on the your first run BTW. Mine is finishing up in a few weeks I can’t wait top pop my own beans.

The one female is doing VERY well, and three more tests sent out.

I got another wonky seedling just like in the other batch of seeds, and it’s wonked-out in a similar manner :man_shrugging: i guess it just happens sometimes, or I wonder if this is a sign of an odd expression much like OGKB-leaning phenotypes :man_shrugging:
