Definite attitude improvement.

In every grow I've ever done, there is a threshold waiting to be crossed. It goes from "this ain't going to work" to "this may just work".

Today, I crossed that line.

It help when you start to see little white hairs. Just one or two per plant can lift your spirits. The last few times I went into the gulch, I left dead males in my wake each time. This time it was girl, girl, girl, don't know, girl...no males.

B came over to my house for a safty meeting. He gave me batch 3 (the sativa). We got to talking shop and I asked about the parentage of the seeds he gave me. He tells me he had them stashed for a year in his freezer.
Cool, but where did they come from? He got a few seeds from a bag I gave him, years ago and he kept crossing them with themselves.

So in effect, I just got back some plants, from a strain I lost long ago, that B was kind enough to keep alive and return to me. Neat Huh? That's the way things work on an Island. He took my strain, put his spin on it for a few generations and gave it back.

Of all the T/S, I captured the trait I was most looking for. The great combination of both height and yield....I watched this last year, and I know what it looks like. She will be the universal mother. Thats the first pic. The second cross T/SxT/S2 has white zipties.

Next pic is the trait I call topknot. This should go elsewhere. Up here...rot city. In a few weeks seeds will be ready.

Pic 3 is a Jack Herer girl. Funny ass growing plant. It needs branches. I guess I forgot what a pure sativa looked like. Knock wood, she is stable. Also every plant behind her is a girl...so far.

And I have a Jack male too.:thumbsup:

Pic 4 is an experiment. When I dumped batch 2, she already had declared. Damned if i throw away an established girl. So she is now one of 2 survivors of Batch 2. I will have to keep my eye on them.

Pic 5 is a Batch 4 girl... thats right batch 4. Four and 5 barely have five sets of leaves, and they are already showing sex. It doesn't matter where I pollenate her, so I put her in the gulch, try to get some size on her.
