can it be pro breeder co-op time now plz? + log

[fffuuudesu]

by pro i mean knowledgeable and experieced, not actual professionals. however actual professionals are welcome :thumbsup:



i got a blueberry seed from at LEAST 5 years ago.. not sure which pheno it came off of but im gonna find out.

any way.. 4th grow. fire everytime... now im lookin for efficiency and longevity=)


dedicated veg room:
4'Wx2'Dx4.5'H and 4'Wx2'Dx2'H clone chamber + 3x105watt cfls 6000k, 5000k and 2400k full spectrum

dedicated flower room:
7'Wx5'Dx5'H +1000watt hps.




only using the 5000k cfl right now, comin up to the 3rd week of veg- 10". it shot up after the first feed so i re-potted it deep. now its 6" tall and showing first signs of side branches.

im going to be turning it into a mother and taking the first clone right off the top once the side branches are more pronounced and difinitively side shoots and not just wanna be's.

i will be lst-ing, fimming, and pruning as nececary to bonsai the little baby into being as short and bushy as possible. I will then take as many clones as possible to cram into my flower chamber. =)

the first clone im going to take off the top once side branches are pronounced will go straight to flower once it has established itself, at which point i will pollinate it with Dr. Chronic - Lowryder from a previous grow. just for some unstable seed stock

from then on its sea of green in my little room.




i will be experimenting with "water pearls". bio degratable, nontoxic, hydroelastic polymer as for use (in my case) in organic hydroponics as a soilless media.

ive had slight success so far. i just need to refine my design. worst comes to worse they can be used to keep organic media moist. it really seems to be good stuff and nothing has rotted off so far.




I also have 4 more lowryder seeds, 5 the purps, a few seeds from homebred AKxTop-secret genetics, known as Moe, Larry, Curly, OMGDIE, StinkyPinky, Hermit, and B. and a few more seeds of unknown genetics.

I am going to be starting seeds slowely as i continue through this series, being sure to document and label everything well.




As i continue through this series, i will be growing for potency and yield as youve probably already guessed, and here is where the co-op comes in!





YOUR JOB is to post theories and experiments to perform that lead to increased yield, potency, and ease of growth, while decreasing flowering time and expenditures (aka less nutes or less light[and so forth, cooling]).

i realize much of this is genetic... this is why im working with such varied seed stock.

in short... mixing genetics and advanced grow techniques to "create" a "superplant"; and method of growing it easily and quickly, to produce large yields of extremely potent cannabis flowers.

i do realize i could just purchase some great strains... but whats the fun in that

im not asking for advice on tried and true grow methods... this thread is for the "crackheads":yippee::yippee:

Any one who turns in a successful theory will be labeled by me as "The Law" and will receive 3 free first generation clones of any outstanding genetics+a copy of the compiled grow log for that strain.

All information will be compiled and allocated for free electronic distribution.







all entries must be entered in this format.

FORM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:

"How can breeding for a certain genetic disposition and use of experimental grow techniques with that phenotype be used together to create a method of fast growing, high yielding, potent cannabis buds."

Title:

Hypothesis:

Explanation of the theory:

Rudimentary explanation of the required steps for the experiment:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

END FORM







after each form is submitted we will have short debate over the practicality and ease of each method, that will then be followed by an acceptance or denial of submitted experiment. after that point i will proceed with the experiments.

updates will include notification of successful experiments and a compiled and edited version of step by step directions of each successful method. all data can be provided upon specific request there after.

only one experiment can be performed at a time.







in the meantime i will keep you updated on my blueberry mother and the propagation and flowering of her cuttings using tried and true methods. :jointsmile:

just came into some diesel trainwreck... its dry as fuck. just how i like it. not too dry though. same guy i got the kush from before that.

anyway... it hermied... got a few seeds...also, might have come into some more sqft. ill let you know.

baby is lookin purdy. i put the light at an extreme angle to provide more light to the stem.

i also attemted a fim. once thats shown signs of success or failure i will take the first clone.

:stoned:

[fffuuudesu]

new growth is "bubbley" and dense. extremely soft.

older growth is a nice deep green, slight burn at tips. leaves stand at attention, serrations nice and crisp, yet still greatly pliable and do not crack if bent. they bounce back like a spring board.

i have pruned to prepare for cloning. allowing more light to the nodal growth while the plant prepares its regenerative cells for the healing that will be needed in the next few days.

i built an even smaller housing for the mother. since for right now shes the only one, i dont have all the lights on. so i kinda cased her in some white shit to keep light in. it works great.. just gets a little warm in there...

78 ambient 85 direct. its a bit arid so i spray her down with slightly alkaline water every few hours.

totally beautiful; wish i had working camera. as soon as it is fixed i will start with the pictures.

just gave her a total blast of CO2 enriched organic vapours... i saw the plant get greener before my eyes.. im sure its just the smoke

ps GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!!! lol direct and ambient temps increased by a whole degree lolwut... take it easy people ill be back.:stoned:

[Shovelhandle]

Well, I'm not a Pro Breeder, so can't help you there.
I'll be lurking and learning though. Good luck fixing the camera. I like pics.

PREEEEE FLOWERS!!!!!!:thumbsup:

shes a she alright. just a few more days till i take cutting.

Regarding "water pearls": bio degradable, nontoxic, hydro-elastic polymer as for use (in my case) in organic hydroponics as a soilless media.


extremely conductive to algae.... light penetrates deep into media producing a virtual hive of surface area. algae appearing down to about the 6th layer of pearls, being quite heavy on the upper layers. id assume it would continue down as far as the light could penetrate these almost invisible balls of water.

covering with mylar should fix the problem. i however will be using it from this point on with coco choir to measure its success..

simply mix with coco choir until you cannot see past the first layer of "water pearls" at least.



completely organic and easy to manage. simply add water and nutrients as needed...

remember to watch for signs of under/over fertlization as normal.. make sure to test the ph as normal.

so far ive had nothing but success at fert dosing. ph is constant 6.4

only time will tell.. and this experiment for now.. shall be left to stew.




NOW FOR SOMETHING COMEPLETELY DIFFERENT!

mother is still lookin great.. so dark green.

[fffuuudesu]

heat damage?!?!?! ive never had this happen to me.. it was looking so good :cursing:

[jakester]

Did you just transplant that? It looks like a broken stem base or main root to me.

[fffuuudesu]

nah it was lookin great after the transplant. the only thing i know happened to it, it got really hot in its cabinet... my cooling system took a shit. max temps that day were 115. it was kept well away from the light but ambient air temps way too high maybe?

[fffuuudesu]

anyways, i moved it to a cooler climate, mid 70s... i gotta go fix a bunch of shit now XD.. oh well.. as long as it lives and i learn from it. =(
