Today was a male choppin’ party… allergies were in high gear. As much as I love open pollinating a cultivar my nose hates me for a solid few days.
Cleaned and cleaned some more today after the chop. Next weekend I will douse the girls with water to eliminate the rest of the pollen they’re caked in. Let em suck in whatever pollen they still can for the next week. I’ll also clean the tent walls and fans. Did as much as possible with my shop vac without trying to disturb the ladies to much. as well as a quick wipe down.
yessir… wanted to see what they looked like untouched. The front right has been an excellent plant from the start. Healthy growth. Not picky and smells great. May have to take a late cut of her and keep her around if she ends up great smoke.
I love growing clones but there is a certain magic to seeds and not just seeds but testers. Its like playing the lottery with breeder s being able to sway odds in a growers favor.
I sneezed twice just reading your pollen harvesting.
@CosmoNut oh man I had skin breakout and allergies to the max it was rough usually ill long sleeve up and mask up but I was I’m a hurry with everything I’ve got going on right now. on the plus side I’ll have BBDiesel pollen for the next few years haha and the 4 females are prego as all hell. So seeds and the ability to pollinate with the original males. pretty cool.
@anonymous4289 these are definitely looking like winners the picture of the trim bin was only half of one male. The males from this cross you made dump pollen. I’m still sneezing at work right now. haha
that’s good to hear. i pollinated 2 chem fuego females with the chem fuego male used to create the blueberry diesel. 1 gave me probably 2000 seeds and the one that looked better gave me 5… yes 5 seeds, lol.
BBD-C The worst of the bunch. All the branches are tiny and the fan leaves are dying from the bottom up. It seems to have finally slowed down on moving up the plant but it’s pretty ugly.
They new growth seems to be ok. Do you think it actually does have TMV? I do smoke cigs unfortunately but I always wash my hands before going into the grow.
Just a heads up, you would need to wash your hands with 10% bleach solution. Even alcohol doesn’t work.
I now will not touch my plants, without a new pair of gloves on. Once was enough!
Now that I searched out TMV photos it does seem like it could be TMV. Just like looking up a virus for humans, all sorts of scary shit and saying i neeed to nuke my grow. I have 48 other cannabis plants to worry about now doh
tobacco mosaic virus. Some argue that cannabis can’t even get it while others say they have proof of cannabis testing positive for it. It’s transferred from tobacco products (not the smoke) to plants by touch.
With so many plants I dont often check soil PH anymore. But since this one is having issues I will give it a go. I have never found that my PH is off in a soil test but maybe this one is.
