if you are sitll early in flower on the others, you'll have a very limited seed production, as they won't have all of their pistils yet. so, don't give up, you may still end up with 90+% sinse...
what will help is if you spray the male down with water (h2o kills pollen) and mist your babies.
love, brooke
cool thanks...we have sprayed the males down a few times now, so now all that's left is to dispose of them! i hate killing canna plants for the record...
anyways, we might decide to take the pollen and purposely pollinate some plants after all, but we also want a nice yield coming up so we've got some thinking to do...
i was going to suggest that you breed, if you have good genetics. i've got my f1's started and having a blast! males can be a good thing too...:D that sounded bad...
love, brooke
The two crosses are actually very good
Big bang was the male. (big bang = big bud x dynamite)
So we got
Big Bang x Dutch Treat
Big Bang x HOG
Not bad if you ask me, I want to pollinate all of the two plants now and get a bunch of seeds and just keep that bud to ourselves, it’s only two plants.
Hey, dutch & harris...and brooke. :)
So, yea...I'm obviously not as well-read as harris, even though I think I've read a lot. I've also mainly focused on hydro for a while and just recently started to venture into the soil, coco, soilless types of mediums while reading up.
In the JOURNAL...with the 'soilless/hydro' setup, the nutes are given every time the res changes. Like harris said, once you find your number, you should be pretty decent with the levels due to the ratio already in the bottles. The only thing I've noticed have been mainly Mg def and some N def. See, harris knows his sh*t. :greenthumb:
harris, I've heard about AdvNut being cannabis-specific (along with the flack they receive for it)...and I'm very interested to hear how you like them once you're done. Sounds like you've already developed an opinion, though. That sounds wicked about the supplying plants, etc..and then getting tissue samples and testing nute levels. VERY cool. I just might have to do some research into that. :) Thanks.
That really sucks about your males...but yea, brooke also knows what she's talking about so, I'd be careful with them. Don't go shaking them over your flowering plants. :p hehe. If you didn't read my thread lately...one of the flowering plants went hermie later into flower...pollinated the whole crop...yet...the ones that were farther away and had less exposure, had MUCH fewer seeds...like almost none...just enough for breeding, but not enough to ruin the potency and yeild. The others closer to the perpetrating plant were chock full of seeds in some parts. Meh...live and learn...
Good luck finishing up your grow. Look forward to harvest pics. Those buds look nice. :) I should be adding some things to my thread soon because there are already more flowering and the NL & BG is growing! :)
Be cool.
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Our intension was to harvest the pollen, that’s why we kept the males around.
I really don’t care that much that our plants were pollinated, I would have preferred to have selectively pollinated particular buds. But alas
Thanks for the high opinion. The main reason I know stuff is because I have always been interested in plants, I’ve worked in a greenhouse, and I take plant biology and genetics in university.
Advanced Nutes, They claim to have the best products on the market (but who doesn’t) I’ve read a book called Bud INC which was very interesting. I know a lot of the people in the book and for what I know I can verify the validity of the text 100%.
This is were I’ve learnt most of what I know about A.N.
The book is so accurate about everything else, I trust it. I spoke to a cannabis lawyer friend of mine today who verified some of what I’ve heard about AN
You should also be warned that AN has a dark side.
It was started by Three men, Cant remember their names. These three men also “own” a black corporation called “The company”.
The company is a grow op company. They have a large network of houses, growers, trimmers, carpenters, drywallers, Plummers, electricians, thugs and so on.
They have this system, An outside donor “sponsors” a grow op. And fronts all the cash for it.
With this money “the company” rents a house, buys the equipment, often renovates the place to make it a big op, brings in their growers and so on.
(up to this point only 1 of the owners is involved Big mike)
At harvest, They bring in the second owner. HE’s got the trimmers and distributors.
The third guy is the muscle if this go bad.
That’s the dark side.
Now: back to the light side
The way I see it, it’s a black company trying to make it legal. This year their sales should it 100 million.
Obviously they have a huge stake in cannabis being legalized, their business with explode. Recently they have purchased some online pro-legalization websites and are pumping money into them.
So I think there a good corp to support IMO
Always interesting and informative to stop by this thread...:cool:
I thought I should add some pics to show all of the stages of the grow. As ive been claiming it??s ??all stages?
pics
1- Some freshly rooted Atomic Northern Lights
2- Some older clones under the T5 (Dutch Treat, Mud, HOG)
3- Our males :mad: there bc big bang
4- is our vegging chamber
5- is our flowering chamber
im gonna add something to harris's last post...for those of you interested in T5s. The clones shown under there right now have very long internodes in the middle of the plants. This isn't due to the T5 being shitty or anything, it has to do with the fact that those plants recieved very very inadequate light for about 48 hours (this occured when we had to move the plants outta our apartment, to a friends, and then back again). The T5s actually work amazing, as you can tell by the bushiness at the base of the plants and the tops. Just thought i would clarifly that for anyone interested.
Heres a little experiment were doing.
We??ve planted two clones of the same strain, Champagne, in one 5 gallon pot.
We take a lot of notes and document the height, size, # of growth tips, etc
We also will be documenting the yield, pot size, training method and any pruning.
Since were working with clones we??ll see if two small plants in a pot yields the same as one bigger one. Hopefully it will be more. The idea is that you will be able to veg for a much shorter time, well half the time right if your two smaller plants are exactly half as big.
Also, here s a pic of our temporary mother. She??s northern lights
It took us a long time to get growing this strain down, and by that time the plant grew in a manor that wouldn??t be worth flowering. So we topped it and are cloning all the side shoots out. Two more rounds of cloning then we??ll be doing some extreme LSTing and seeing how the plant reacts. Then we??ll snip her down.
It??s sad killing your plants, but you gotta be strong.
