My Perpetual Madness: Sad Does Multi Strains Under TSL-2000's & More

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

@TheSadVeryBadMadGrower good morning mi amigo nice set up and a very neat opening to your journal

Thank you. When I finish up this run, I got big plans for my next grow. I'll be introducing 2 new lights to the grow with some really fire strains. I cant wait to get one going from the beginning instead of halfway through.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

Here's some pics I was able to take today while working with the girls....Sorry for the Blurple last pic.

I was moving around some plants and trimming anything covering bud sites directly. Not much, maybe 3-4 leaves per plant. I got to one of my flowering Solo cups and caught the hermie. Suspect was Alaskan Purple Kush from Seedsmans. It was a freebie, so maybe that's why? Anyways, I have another one in my 2x4 so I checked it over and it showed no signs of it hermieing. <---if that's even spelled right lol. Anyways, I'll keep an eye on it just in case and lucky I spotted it early. Zero pollen released. That plant is now chopped down. No biggy.

A good friend of mine knows my new hobby and just stopped by my house. He wanted to see the ladies but my lights were off. Anyways, he dropped me off about 15 different seeds. He said each seed is 100% a different strain but he doesn't know what one is which. I really don't have the room right now as I am past plant maximum. If all goes well, I should be growing under the TS-3000 from Mars-Hydro in a couple weeks.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

Got a question....If 2 same strains are growing and one hermies and the other doesn't....would using pollen from the hermie create that trait?

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

Not really much going on today in the garden. Got a picture of my Durban Poison clone. I want to flip her in about 2 weeks. Mom stretched over 4 ft in flower. I expect the clone to do the same exact thing. To keep her low, how far along in flower can I bend down the stems. I have already done this once to the clone too. Any suggestions?

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

I also want to note in the journal that my Blue Cookies was a trifoliate early on in life. As she grew larger she did grow out of it though..

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

It would increase the chances dramatically.
I'd toss any hermy plant imho.
The chances of it passing on that trait are way too risky for me.

Oh I did. Before it got tossed I wanted to make sure. Genetics and how crosses work etc were never my cup of tea. Thanks.

Pretty much ,if it's a true Herm

U must be excited for the new light , hard to believe that you will be able to produce bigger buds! Happy for u bro

Still 2 and a half weeks to go but by that time I should also be chopping a handful of plants. Im in week 7 now.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

So I am starting to run into trouble in the garden...I have 7 plants total that are 7 weeks in flower. I also have 8 plants that are in week 3 of flower inside of my 2x4. The 2 Early Skunk's are 2 of that 7 getting closer to being done but they are not really promising of a plant. At least I wont grow it ever again. Is it even worth chopping the 2 down to allow some more room for the plants in the 2x4? I guess some space is better then none and I wont be losing out too much on something I may not even care for.

Eh I have a similar feeling about a few of the genetics in my current run, but at the end of the day it is still smoke and I've already invested all the nutes and power to get them this far. Might as well finish em out and see how it is.

Do you have a mars connection or win the light? I could use a discount on the next 2 sp250 I need .

I purchased everything I own besides the one brand of nutes that was sent to me for free. However, I am the plug.

There needs to be a thread discussing how people would feel about genetically modifying cannibas to get rid of things like the "hermie" gene. Not sure how I feel honestly. I mean with the shit becoming more readily available, and lots of people breeding cannibas...

I mean $#! it, why not make glow in the dark cannibas that won't herm on you lol

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

There is a chance of hermy with any pot plant. It's part of their genetic makeup. It's just a matter of how prone and or how easy they will do it.
It's all part of that "Nature will find a way." Quote. Lol

That's why I was thinking about chucking a little from the Alaskan Purple onto the Critical Purple....BUT...I could be saving myself headaches down the road.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

If you want to chuck some for beans then go the female reversal route, or keep a male you like.
I would for sure not add in a self hermy to the mix. Thats just asking for issues. Lol.

I have been looking for a mom for about a year now. I was going to keep my Jack Herer as a mom but kitty killed my clones a few moons ago. I saved a cut off my Durban on the fact alone of how vigorous she grew and how big it got during the stretch. I want to smoke her though first to see if the Durban cut is even worth keeping around. Vigorous growth is a good trait in a way but can be found in many strains. The only problem I have now is looking for a father "IF" mom is a keeper. I could also do it just to chuck once to get the experience of doing it under my belt. BUT I also don't want to waste my time searching for a mom just to cross her with something unworthy.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

I was thinking about going down the route of something like orange sherbet or a fruit punch....something known for flavor to add into the mix. I need to work on understanding how genetics work first though and understanding exactly what traits I can breed out or in if needed.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

This was taken last week. I had to tie her up recently. Nearly hitting the very top of my 6ft tent.


This is the clone I had taken off the mom. I have snapped her main growth down once already. I might need to I don't even know what it is called but need her much much shorter.

Sounds like you could use some help, I'll send her right over.
