New brood

Hey Grow Gang...
Pic of new kids...NorCalDaddysGirlxSourJack...Let the growin begin....

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

this should be lots of fun to watch, be sure to keep us updated ... nice to see you 'breeding', I expect a lotta 'hybrid vigor' with those two :thumbsup: ... be prepared for an early 'frost' :D

Hey Reaper,
Is this what you mean, by the 'hybrid vigor'? These kids seem to be growing exceptionly fast...but maybe its just me...These have not been "schoosed" down in the rapid rooters like I usually do....

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

probably a little of each ... I still doubt the seedlings like 'scootching' :D ... as far as I know, hybrid vigor shows itself in every facet of development ... faster, bigger, stronger, etc. ... the first 'NorCal Daddy's Girl' blew me away, she just grew 'better' than my others, best way I can describe it ... I would assume that is characteristic of 'hybrid vigor' ... I'll be in Illinois corn country in a couple weeks, I'll ask my farmer buddies ... they explained the hybridized corn programs to me, was very enlightening to this old city boy :D ... again, good work, Treetops, I'm very interested how these turn out, as I was preparing for the same hybrid ... I think you have a potential 'Cup-Winner' there :thumbsup:

This is gonna be good. I've got a little "breeding" project going on myself, so I'm gonna watch this one.
Hope ya get some girlies!!
Peace :hippy::rastasmoke:

Party at Treetops place in 4 or 5 months....:rastabanna:

I want a puff of that NCDGxSJ...:thumbsup:

Reaper,
From the way these babies took off I'd say they got "hybrid vigor" alright!! Out of 6 seeds they all took right off except for 2...which are still in the rapid rooter womb...cracked but thats it..slow growers...
Yes, and I have you to thank for the idea..as I enjoyed the Sour Jack almost as much as the NCDG..now together...I can't wait to see how great it will be...We will one day experience it together...:thumbsup:

One day you will...we can only hope...:D

your plants must be doing pretty well, every time I talk with ya, you're out mowing ! ... :wtf: :D

Yeah, Reaper,
They are on Auto-Pilot for the most part now...LOL..Gotta work so I can keep buying equipment...What a hobbie...
Kids in their new cribs/staging area....Using new "rocks"...lets see how this works...I'm likin how the new kids are lookin....nice and healthy....New net cups in order as the rocks catch on the sides and fly all over as you can see...

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

Maidenwell high-silica, eh ? ... a new one to me, must be similar to that 'Hygromite' high-silica rocks, I was trying to find locally (too expensive to pay freight on, heavy stuff) ... supposed to be the cat's-ass :thumbsup: ...

Reaper,
Here's a pic from their site..showing how well it does...Time will tell...

Sweet, I'm watching!

Thanks Stinky for stopping by...Nice to know your checking on me....LOL.

An update...This is one DGxSJ I have in the basement...temps 68 degrees....Enjoy..

a couple more....

Here is a Daddy'sGirl on the left from last November...plant on the right is the new cross..NCDGxSJ...
Enjoy..

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

looks like she's pulled some more indica influence from the Sour Jack, just the 'bottom' you may be looking for on the NCDG line ... nice, Tree :thumbsup:

Hey Reaper,
How's things?...
Thought these might interest you...21 days old as of today....Under 1 100watt cfl.....Now if its a she we'll be all set...Chicken wire keeps the cats away...they annihilated my other DG last time..takin no chances...:(

Peace,
Treetops:D

interesting, besides wider leaves, they're carrying the original G-13 sawtooth leaf edges ... 'NCDG's recessive 'G-13' must be showing her stuff ... Warning: that plant may 'hurt' ya, be careful, :D ... 'hurts so good' :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

Hmmm,...sounds like this is doing what you wanted....Lets hope the best is yet to come...

Cant wait to see how it tastes.....:thumbsup:

Kids in they're new cribs...The "monster" is one of the same...dont know why it took off like it did...it was in the basement....cooler temps 68ish...with just a 100watt CFL..then to this cab yesterday...All the DGXSJs were started on 9/16....The DGs..on the 20th.....

Remoted my ballast, turned the light around..replaced fan...things ready for another winter grow...

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

Tryin to show that the the 4 on the left are the cross's...NCDGxSJ...the 3 on the right are just NCDG...I am a rookie, but it looks like there may be a couple of different phenos here...Any thoughts?
Thanks as always...

Peace,
Treetops :D

Hey Gang,

Kids are all a month old or better...except for the HS rear right corner...Using FoxFarm nutes...Gotta love it...

1st pic,DGXSJ on the left DG on the right..
2nd pic, The Monster..this plant is the same age as the others 1 month as of the 16th..I've never had a plant grow this big this fast...
3rd pic, Roots of the Monster..
4th pic Group pic of just the DGXSJ..

Thanks for stopping by....

Clone the living daylights outta that 'monster' pheno or use it in your next generation of crosses. That is a pheno worth saving, male or female, in some form, for its vigor and stature. That is an EXCELLENT looking cannabis plant. Which strain/cross is it?

Stinky,
Thanks for your words of praise...I couldnt ask for more...
What it is...its a cross of the NorCalDaddy'sGirl with Sour Jack...it was the first one to crack seed...been growing strong like that from day one...

Thanks,
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

If I had the choice, I'd back-cross it to a NCDG. My only complaint with the NCDG is that the new, young leaves are rather tender, and even though the plant clones fast, in sub-optimal conditions is is very difficult to harden off. Adding a set of genetics that shows very vigorous thick leaves would be beneficial IMO.

Thats the plan, backcross with the NCDG,...Reaper and I had talked about doing this, I had some pollen, so I gave it a shot...this is the results...I like the results...Maybe this will do the trick in making a sturdier clone one day.. :D

WOW Tree!!!! The monster is INCREDIBLE!!!!
All of them look good, but DAMN!!!! That sucker is a freak of nature.
Has it shown sex yet? As stinky said, even if it's male, you GOTTA carry those genetics on bro... I'd try to cross that with everything and anything I could!! LOL
Rock on Tree :D

doobster,
Thanks for stoppin in and the nice compliment...It is a 'Monster'...no sex signs as yet...Too early as the pic will show...but its a keeper for sure...I would have to say it has that 'hybrid vigor" they talk about... Hoping as Stinky suggested to clone a couple and put some pollen aside for the future..cross back to a DG..this is a learning experience for me..We'll see how it goes...as of now thats the plan...

Hows things with your project? Hope its going well for you...

Thanks,
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

Hey Growin Gang,
I'm thinkin this 'monster' may be a she, Your thoughts please...

Thanks
Treetops :thumbsup:

my personal thought is that it's still up in the air.......but no signs of nanners either so that's a great start!

That IS a bushy beast. :thumbsup:

Weedhound,
Thanks for lookin, appreciate you taking a peek with those experienced growin eyes....Took a few new pics tonight while adjusting the ph...Hope you see the same as I do..

To me its Eureka!!

Thanks,
Treetops :D

I see pistils.... Congratulations are in order!
Keep on keepin' on, Tree!!

doobster,
I thank you for the congrats!!!...hahaha...I needed that...
I kept lookin till I found one...as the top, just looked female...I have been growin for 3 years straight now..and things just keep getting better...These plants are all much bigger than usual....I'm giving credit to the new 'rocks'..as everything else is the same...

Thanks for stopping in...
Treetops;)

Hybrid vigor??? That baby's on STEROIDS!!!
You been snoopin' around in Barry Bonds' medicine cabinet again?? LOL

I agree with stinky... Clone the hell out of her, and try to get a male DG.. (wouldn't that be a DB?? hahaha) Breeding's fun man...

My girls are lookin spectacular. Day 20 or so of flower... They're getting little budlets all over, and startig to stink up the room... lol

I'll post an update pretty soon :) Stop on by, check 'em out!

Peace!

doobster,
