My First Mixed Seeds Grow Log

Aloha Weezard,
Thank you for all. Specially for these red flowers :1baa: They're beautiful.

I'll try to be careful. I just want to do this feminize thing first time. From 6+ to 9+ also cross this 6+ with 7. She looks like mostly sativa strain with her very beautiful thin long leaves. Criticals %50 mixed strains (bigbud x skunk). I'm hoping to come up with one Critical7 strain :) and some more seeds for critical+ if i like to taste/effects of smoke and decide to grow later. I'd prefer more meditative high.

And for the stress, also thought it can be light and LST combo. MAybe that one picture from 9+ also a male nanner. I'm going to investigate more :)

I pulled out the pollen sacs and left only one of them on 6+. There were 15-20 sacs i pulled. Cleaning them out was a harder job then I thought. Big plant, too many buds, too many new grows... Just two hours ago I found some, took picture. After a while I went back there and I was trying to find them back for an hour. Well, it wasn't too bad for sure, I found many others during the search.
And one more bad news is:
I just found 2 on the 9+ too. One is the picture i sent previously that was a male flower. Falled of today when I'm trying to make picture and bananas inside.
So this made things risky. Pollinating one hermie to another? What will be results like? Now only chance is trying to create a critical7. Just for test, during the summer on balcony can be a good idea for that. We'll see about that.

Good news:
They started smelling some aroma. I still have the smell on my nose/brain. And they made me sick. My nose running. I don't know if this one is good at all :)

"This mean, in daytime when I enter the room those leaves getting light for less than a minute. Light is only coming from outside, from the open door, not strong. I do it couple of times in a day. Can this be the reason?"

Quite likely! It only takes 0.5 lux for a fist-full of seconds to light stress cannabis,
Lightning seem to be too short a duration and the full moon is just under .5 lux.
But repeated daylight through a doorway will make them go nuts.

If you have pollen allergies and you can't catch your nose, I'd say there are many seeds in your near future.:D

I purposely pollinated a little red-headed girl.

Well, not personally, I used pollen from a "super-dad" with a blue tinge.:D

Got some purple seeds for my efforts.:cool:

They could suck wind, they could grow legends.

Here multi pistils

Here like how its beginning. It's like a male flower but there is a pistil in the middle. This is the only one I could find.

I'll go back there to investigate more and try to take clearer pictures.

Specially after these!!!!

Congrats to me, 6+ hermied. I don't know why but I have some ideas. Those flowers are on one side only and most of them I found on her was where the leaves were not covered (Under the outtake fan in the middle). This mean, in daytime when I enter the room those leaves getting light for less than a minute. Light is only coming from outside, from the open door, not strong. I do it couple of times in a day. Can this be the reason?

Now I am also thinking maybe 9+ also trying to get some balls but whenever she tries female hormones are winning and getting buds there??

I need feedback for this: I was just hoping to get some polens to pollinate each one of my plants (6,7,9) to get some seeds. I need to clean this mess before they spread all over.
Q1: I'll just leave one or two balls I think that's enough right?
Q2: How long it takes for them to sack pollens?
Q3: Should I cover them with some plastic like food covers or sth like that near the end to prevent pollen sacks all over?

Hey Weezard, do you have anything to do with this hermie situation? I'm very suspicious. I didn't notice them yesterday, maybe they weren't exist yet. I just read your post and you were talking about breeding. I was going to say "I don't have pollen" to you (I even wrote the post and preview but I couldn't send).
Tell me, did you do some magic from there some how? :D

Thank you for thoughts :hippy:

:(. I was just reading this and the previous connected topic yesterday. I thought send my picture too because I thought they're different things:

But, turned out (after confirmation), not necessary to send picture anymore :) They're simply same things with that you sent before.
Anyway, your experiments on this helped me. Thank you

Yes, after 9+ I'm sure it was about the light. Because 9+ had only two flowers on a branch where she saw the light. 6+ had more because she got more light than anyone else. 7 is totally clear, she was in dark all the way. I'm just hoping they don't go worse after this. They're just paying back the stress to me :)

I'm going to use mask for next time cleaning :) I don't want a seed farm here.

And for breeding, I read there is a risk pollens from a "feminized". As you said, legend or garbage. But I still couldn't find a clear info about breeding two hermies on each others (Maybe I start a thread about this). I'm planning to pollinate only the parts of 9+ which are not effected by the light leak. And will hope for the best.

By the way, your seeds... Like colored seeds but in natural way :thumbsup:


Now, the other things.
Yesterday I also feed hermiticals with half dosage of nutes. Applied a little grow nutrients too (NPK 4-6-8) because some lower leafs just dropping with very light green color. I thought this can be N deficiency. Bloom solution nearly don't have N in it. NPK is 1,5-13-14 for it.
Nute water PPM was around 1000. Runoff PH 6,5.

Problem again about erecting leaves. I found them touching the bulbs again and tips burned. I don't know how to deal with this. I wired back those light burn protecting wires again, helped but not %100. Maybe I should tie those leaves down so they don't erect? Can this harm the plants in anyway?

Cheers up! Trichomes developing like crazy. Spreading all over the leaves. 7 also started having them.
8 and 14 also having bit by bit. But I really don't like 8s status. Looking very weak, thin.
Pictures coming today.

Hermie situation is under control. No more balls around for now. I changed the front cover, no more light leaks+effective reflection (picture taken before).

More trichomes every other day:
Order: 6,7,9,9, All (7,6,9)
[attachment=o263718][attachment=o263719][attachment=o263720][attachment=o263721][attachment=o263722]

Looks like 8 will be the first harvest. Her pistils started getting brown but not much trichomes yet. She managed to recover her broken stems. They're no more broken.

Order: 8, 14, 8 and 14 together in their small room.
[attachment=o263723][attachment=o263724][attachment=o263725]

Today I trained big praying fan leaves. Mostly 6 was touching the lights and burning the tips. I tied them down to the side branches. Now I could lower the lights much more close to the buds. We're all happy now.

Here they are
Order: 6,6,7,9,9
[attachment=o263792][attachment=o263793][attachment=o263794][attachment=o263795][attachment=o263796]

5th week of flowering started yesterday. Based on label information for criticals, two-three weeks (Includes this one) left to harvest (45-50 days total)
I Feed criticals today with Greenlabel Bio Booster recommended dosage (1 ml per liter) + Plagron Grow half dosage (2ml per liter). I finished Plagron bloom already and Greenlabel Bio Booster is not strong enough. All in total PPM was around 800. This will be the last but one feeding probably.

All floros are 7600K now. I set side CFLs on another timer, they're on 2.5 hours later and off 2.5 hours earlier than tubes.

No more balls around for now but buds. The one I left still didn't open. Looks like pollens will be saved for summer.

bud from 9+, 6+, all, I tried to get some close up on trichomes this is the closest up I could get clearly.

8 no longer in the journey. I found pollen sacks on her (it) and removed from the room immediately. Two bananas were already free I don't know how effective they were. I hope they stuck on her only. After removal I found more on her, they were just getting ready to pollinate.

Seed was probably from my previous late hermie bagseeds. All the bagseeds in second part (5,7 and 8) were my desktop seeds. They were from previous grow and just three. I kept them around my desktop, with this grow I remembered and planted but I didn't know from which plant I took them. Now things are much clear. 8 was from this plant, I've found several seeds on her after harvest.
[attachment=o264299]

Now I'm thinking 7 can be from this plant which is showed only a couple of bananas in very late flowering.
[attachment=o264300]
I might found some seeds on her as well. Just don't remember. May be pollinated by the other one. I'll be watching 7 much closer from now on.

So, I think (I believe) 8 had hermie genes with her by default. Just was waiting for a trigger. And probably she was effected from light leak too + she had all the troubles after replacing. And she responded. I was already thinking on 8 and looking everyday for possible male flowers to take her away and give a space for 14 (Now 14 alone under the table, well, I must say she's not complaining at all) Only thing worries me is, I couldn't see the flowers since today. That's a bit scary for me because if I didn't see on such a small and easy plant like 8, how will I manage to control 6 and 9?
