Oh, I hope it’s a female. No, better yet - a male on the left and a female on the right! :restroom:

Would that be considered twins? As I understand with twins, one is a clone of mom, one is a mix of mom and dad… Interesting plant!!!

@Nagel420 that pic is really interesting, but it’s not a twin. It looks like the plant mainlined itself. I used to believe some of the things I was told about twins, but it all went out the window this year when I grew out a set of Purple Kush twins from 1 seed and both came out female. They grow and smell identical so far.

Things are going pretty steady and solid. Still trying to understand these landraces in the veg tent and why they’re so whiny

I see you got some little balls of joy going. You got dirty hands you must be a working man. Lol mine stay nasty. I have see the leaf pattern again. The death of the leaf. I don’t know how else to describe it I’m trying to figure out where it’s coming from

That’s after scrubbing twice with pumice soap lol grease and oil are a bitch, sometimes I’ll clean my hands with spray can solvent and that gets all the cracks of the skin but I don’t think that’s super healthy to do :joy::joy::joy:

So I’ve got the virus in that one pick with the fucked up blades but the others are getting a potassium deficiency I can’t seem to get passed once I get so far into flower. Need to figure out what the missing piece is

Here’s the veg tent impatiently waiting for the flower area to get some room

Yep your a hard worker. @TestOfOath your containers up there the small ones. The clear ones that you got your seeds starting in. I like that. What is it

They’re from Burpee, silicone seed starter trays, they have 8 all the way up to 36. I grabbed 5 of the 8s and 2 of the 36s for when I breed and starting the vegetable garden. They work FANTASTIC. If you look at their seed starting section you can find the silicone ones. They’re labeled A 1/2 B 1/2 etc so you can keep track of names and what not

Was reading up in the beginning of this thread, ever consider collecting rain water? As much rain as you got in Michigan this yr you would have had a ton of full barrels. Regarding your one stage filter that’s basically a pre- filter, if you don’t do Ro, I’d ad a few more filters to that one and go smaller microns. I have a 5 stage filtering system the end is a .5 micron filter. We water over 400+ gallons a week easy and we dont use Ro takes to long to fill up brute trash cans. What we use below for that x 3 . Winter we heat the water also it’s comes out 45 degrees when cold out. I have a new solution for that for this winter but…And yes we ph down usually never up… :facepunch:t2:

Disclaimer: I posted this comment a few hours ago (and just deleted), but then I realized it was in reply to a post from Hemp, when I intended it to be to your post, @TestOfOath.

Hey, that’s a good idea - placing the cardboard under the plant to catch the falling pollen! I don’t know if you were taking a page from my book (I posted this technique in January), but if you were, I APPROVE!

Since I’m posting my comment again, I may as well add the change I made to my pollen collection method. Instead of letting the pollen fall straight onto the cardboard, I’m now bending the plant and adding mylar to the cardboard, which serves 3 purposes. Not only does it maximize the light dispersion, but it makes it MUCH easier to capture the falling pollen and gather the pollen when you harvest the plant. Here’s a few pics.

1st pic: Pre-mylar

2nd pic: Mylar; prior to bending the plant

3rd pic: Plant has been bent to make the natural pollen fall more efficiently onto the mylar

4th pic: Good evidence…

I 100% did take a page from your book lol and thank you for the idea/expanding on it for me!

Also forgot to mention I’ve got 3 of those Cookieland from you going cause I couldn’t help myself, 4th didn’t sprout unfortunately. And I’m way over what I wanted to have for this next flower run anyways lol. They’re the 3 on the right of this seed starter
