All Of My Strains

These are a mix of the parents of my old strain and their offspring. I'm hoping to get some seeds from a female bred with a hermi. The last crop didn't go as planned do to spider mites and other problems but now there is new hope!

*Lights*
Two 150W CFL'S-SOFT LIGHT
Four 100W CFL'S-DAY LIGHT
One 70W HPS(So far...)

*Age*
About two weeks in the biggest ones
( Sprouted Sept. 11,2007)
*Soil*
Standard potting soil

*Strain*
UNKNOWN- It's some sativa/Indica mix I have been crossing over the years:rastasmoke::hippy:

[attachment=o158493]<--- The younger sprout is LIL' Piff a new strain I made from a bag seed female and one of my males ( All the rest the plants are crosses of F1 and F2 strains mixed all together) For some reason every few seeds I plant some come out a funny lime green

Looking nice and healthy so far. An occassional lighter color green plant is nothing to worry about. They usually grow into happy adults. If it were a bunch of them, I would say stop putting nutes in your soil for seedlings, but I doubt you did since the others are a darker green and doing fine.

Ok, I changed my lighting to this:

*LIGHTS*
Two 150W CFL Soft Light
Three 100W CFL Day Light
Three 70W HPS

t this point i think you need to save the soft white and run all daylights if u can

go gators lol

[attachment=o159968]- The Family
[attachment=o159969]- not sure what the problem is...
[attachment=o159970] - but the Ph is 7.8

Thanx for your advice and help it means alot!:D

[attachment=o159972]
[attachment=o159973]

It looks like either magnesium or potasium deficiancy. Not sure. Check the problem charts.

7.8ph? wow you gotta bring that down man to 6.5 - 7

at ph that high your plants wont take in nutes hence the deficiency

I thought that it was a def problem I'm going to fix the ph thanx,
love,peace,and happiness

I fix the PH problem- I got a soil PH Tester, and some mircle grow potting soil that has fertz for 3 months... I don't know about all that but it made a really big difference everything looks healthly and i'm starting to get pre-flower a few girls so far not sure how many...
if your having ph or soil problems try mircle grow soil

[attachment=o161239]:rastasmoke::hippy:

I always was taught to keep the ph between 5.8-6.4. What ever works for ya though, but yes the deficiencies are being caused by the ph being too high and the plants not being able to absorb the nutes.

Dirt 6.8
Hydro 5.5

Learn it. Live it.

20dollarholla, your 5.8-6.4 is for hydro, but 6.4 is way too high. I never go over 5.8, but start with 5.5 (PH normally rises through time).

I started with cheap soil that was at 7.2PH
The mircle grow soil I have now is at 6.8PH(used my new soil tester)
I don't know if the ph will stay like that for three months, but when I transplanted my plants to bigger pots, that soil has ment the world to my plants.
Now they are as beautiful as ever... I get a little nervous when I have to add nutes( i don't really how much each plant should get) so I try to stay away from them but if your transplanting try the mircle grow potting soil in my experience it doesn't hurt at all

*I also check the *FAMILY* it looks to be I have 9 girls... about 75% sure... darn I needed a boy for seeds

If you are talking about the soil that has time release ferts in it, then yes it does work better than nothing. It is generally frowned upon in the weed farming community since you can't control anything like you should.

Out of 9 plants I got 4 girls and 5 boys... its not bad i'm bout to keep da girls and 2 boys o and i changed the pots for the girls....pics comming soon

Confession time: my last two grows, I used Miracle Grow time release, due to budgetary constraints. My weed was fantastic, dank and dense, with a killer stone, and no health problems.

Now, to be fair, I didn't use straight MG. I mixed one 40# bag of shitty Hyponex potting soil (.94 a bag, with the consistency of mud) with half a bag of MG, and one standard size bag of perlite.

I think in my case, I was able to grow great weed even though I used substandard materials because I did my homework and my other conditions were good. I think researching thoroughly helps a lot. YMMV.

OK, OK, me too. A few years ago I tried an outdoor grow where I didn't want to do anything to it at all, throughout the entire grow. I think I watered it once when it was like 100 degrees for a week, and that was it. I used the MG soil with time release ferts on about half the plants, and those were by far the nicest and biggest and had the highest yield.

LOLOLOL! Ahhh, True Weed Confessions!
Thanks for that. I think it's important for people to know that sometimes you've gotta make do. It's all a learning process, and we shouldn't beat ourselves up for mistakes, or for being broke lol.

Girls-[attachment=o162509]

Boys-[attachment=o162510]

Under the sun-[attachment=o162511][attachment=o162512]

I'm going to make some seeds but I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CROSS?

Girl 1-[attachment=o162518]

Girl 2-[attachment=o162519]

Girl 3-[attachment=o162520]

Girl 4-[attachment=o162521]


Are to be crossed with

Boy1-[attachment=o162522]

Boy2-[attachment=o162523]

Any advice on which ones to mix together any suggestion?


*NOW! YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR MIRCLE GROW!*
I thought this was really funny that some of you people have tired mircle grow and found out that it works (True Weed Confessions)
So that makes me very happy that i'm not the only one who used it I happen to like it, I would love to try some other top name soils but I seem to be doing fine with it... I have killed many crops with nutes,fertz whatever you wanna call them, And I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION that mircle grow works fine so this is what I tried for this grow..... Some basic soil to start with and some mircle grow for the flowering stage and everything after that I on my own... I HOPE 1 DAY TO USED ORGANIC FERTZ and have that skill mastered but until then I'll stick wit mircle grow... plus it makes my strawberries( and other fruits) look and taste better too! from my experience... peace and love to all:hippy::rastasmoke:

Opps sorry for the bad spelling... I WAS A LIL STONED not paying close attention to what I was writing O-well I hope you understand me

LOL! NP. I'm fluent in typonese.

I've not played at all with crossing strains, so all I can say is good luck, whatever you choose.

:weedpoke::twocents::greenthumb:so J.A. you wanna get into the mix of thangs huh!? well let me first say that if you start ur strain you cant give up on it. no matter what!

with tha said, you metioned tha its a S/I, now thers gunna be diff. charcters in each one of tha plants. That being the key to your kids.

-health
-growth
-smell
-stem/node ratio
-# of bud sites
-Height/Width
-symitical(good)/sparse>(not so good)
-flowering rate
-are the lower branches keeping up
-how it reacts to tecq. (topp, lst,)
-poantancy

i.e.- male 1: Is thick stockd, more nodes, And(IMO) would go best with female 2/3.
from what i can see.
and -male 2: best with female 1/4

Other than that your god to them.
and it takes some years to stabilize a good strain but like i said dont give up.

:weedpoke::twocents::greenthumb:

-T.T.

boy 1 and girl 3

trey and bob I was thinking the same thing...I lined them up to according to what you said it actually makes sence. I'll put up some more pic up a lil later... I think I'm going to cross them as trey said.... that sounds good looks good too. I got about another week or so before my boy flower open:thumbsup::hippy:

Huh?

umm... I ment the ball sacks on the boy plant. They haven't opened yet was I wrong to call them boy flower?

Boy -1[attachment=o162736][attachment=o162738]

Boy -2[attachment=o162735]

I guess not. I just wasn't sure what you meant, now I am. I wonder what the real term for that is?

Looks like your getting some good pollen there.

Lookin' Good there, and reading your thread from the start i see you took care of the def prob, thats good... as far as strain, i kno its almost impossible to tell what a plant is by looks, but that resembles 4way........possibly NL, thats my opinion tho..

Boy 1-[attachment=o162962]

Boy 2-[attachment=o162963]

My strain is unknown:(

Girl 1-[attachment=o162964]

Girl 2-[attachment=o162965]

Girl 3-[attachment=o162966]

Girl 4-[attachment=o162967]

I wish I knew what strain I had, like some tester kit that could break down what it is? Maybe one day lol:D

I wouldn't count on it any time soon.

after it is all smoked, no one cares what it is called. Thats a nice grow and I hope the crossing goes well.

Boy 2- dead
He pollinated Girl 1, and Girl 4

Boy 1-Alive
He pollinated Girl 3 still waiting on Girl 2
(not enough hair yet)

Should be done by tomorrow tho...

I don't like to have a lot of seeds just enough, so when I see the first real set of hairs I pollinate those ones. This way I can get rid of the boys as soon as possible, so there isn't pollen all over the room. I only use 5 boy flowers from each male plant for the whole process of breeding.
And by the middle of the grow the seeds should almost be done maturing, without it taking away all the THC out of the buds plus, the buds won't be completely filled with seeds... I hope this might help someone in some type of way.

In all out of 4 felames the total amount of seeds should be less than 75:jointsmile:

But I have 2 questions

Q: Can soil still be toxic by nutes but have a steady PH between 5-7, Or will A toxic soil or defficient soil show signs with a high PH or a low PH?

Q: Is it possible to pollinate a single female hair with different pollen from two boy plants?

Or is it like humans where only one male sperm can enter the female egg? and make the baby....well seed:jointsmile:

Thanx for any advice and smoke one to others

I'm pretty sure soil can have nute toxicity and be any PH. Not positive.

As in humans, I would guess that it is possible to get twins from two different fathers and one or more eggs.

:D Nice leaf shot
