Selecting a Mother

Hey WeeZard, I think one of the posts I lost last night/morning was too you. You know ti's the N.Korean's that are screwing up our forums.

It was Geez Weez you too qouteing me. or ..Et Tu Weezta
Now here you go and do it again. I must be pithy...another likeness to a pot plant! Actually I laid that one there (knowing it was quote able) hoping Crabby would like it and maybe use it instead of that other one (you know a constnat reminder I'm a limp dick.) Hey and I just thought about it recently...I'm an orphan.

BTW I hope the thread police aren't out tonight I might get a TUI, typing under the influence. Wow everything is kickin' in.

A couple of pics of some small, immature bud ok two that got knocked off the auto AK47. Just had to try it and see what type of taste it was going to had...found out it was psycoactive too, which is a good thing. Also a pic of the plant ithey cam from and test equipment.:thumbsup:

Damn iI used a blury one for #4 I'm sorry ( I takt 6 to get one good one)

oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on 07-10-2009. Selecting a Mother Thought I'd share something here about the need to grow out a fair number of plants from seed, in order to select the best plant(s) for future use as a mother. I constantly see folks here with plant problems that are simply the result of growing one or two seeds, and getting what you got and then looking for help because; 1) too short, doesn't seem to grow "like my friends" plant or 2) my plant has lots of stretch and is lanky or 3) I grew this plant and it was nice and bushy but this strain is Rating: 5

A clear one or twoe or more of the auto AK. I realize everythings blurry to me, this should be fun figurin out a good on3e.

And also a helpfull hint from oldmac to vapor users with whips ( not that type of whip)) to keep your plastic tubing from kinking (not that type of kink) use a pieve of spring from the hardware store to fit inside the plastic tubing tight, I also use on e at the mouth piece witha copper screen between glas and spring ofr last catch at any flying debri.

:wtf: Wow, some mornings when I see how bad I was typing and spelling, I realize how fucked up I must have been the night before.

I need to apoligize ahead of time more, never know what I might post that could offend.

its alright mac we all do it

Just checking in......whoa!.....just checking out.

[oldmac]

Just a few to show the girls off. A couple of pics of the "moms in waiting" These are the cuttings taken from the original 10 plants that are now vegging untill the original plants that are in flower finish. Plus a couple of shots of the original plants...damn they are tall, but exactly what Sensi said they'd be abt 145cm, whatever that means.

[sarah louise]

145 cm is about 4'8'', I think Sensi list it as 125cm, closer to 4'1''... looking good which ever measurement system you use.

[oldmac]

Thanks sarah louise for keeping an old man honest. The tallest is about 4' and the shortest is about 3'8". I know from talking to knna that 120cm is about 4', at least when we are talking about T5 fluoresecent tubes, guess it should be same for plants.

I'm impressed with how similar they all are in size, node spacing, rooting, etc. The variations are slight so it seems like a very stable strain...wouldn't expect different from Sensi. Seems like a good strain for a hobbyist who can only grow 1 or 2 plants at a time. I hadn't thought about it much again till now, but I was hoping for more varitation between seeds to show it was usefull to grow out a bunch to pick 1 good mom. Oh well can't fudge a scientific experiment unless your a drug company.

i have 2 mothers from a batch of vannaluna and they are very similar in appearance #5 is a lil bigger and has heavier buds but #4 has so much better aroma like blueberry and flavor is better also and structure.

so its important to grow out many. looks like i got a good one out of 10 sweetness

[oldmac]

There are some differences here for sure too. A couple shown signs of being weaker to root then some others. In a few more weeks we will be in a better postion as to smell and then potency potential of them. Looking at the first 10 in flower last night I was impressed at how nice the buds had started to fill out and the trichome production, even on leafs now is going good.
