Dumpy's First 1000 Watt Soil Grow

and one of many reasons why we should all be concerned about the preservation of pure landraces.

Thanks for your thought Abberation. I will not become complacent in regards to detecting a male. It does get me thinking about the extremely low pollen count. My home is R-2000 rated with a hepa ERV. There is also a carbon/hepa filtration system installed on our furnace in addition to the furnace filter. The air in this home is as clean as it gets. Perhaps the lack of natural pollens caused the plant to hermie? Not saying there are no pollens because pollen will enter on our clothes, but very little.

 

[Dumpy]

Interesting theory but the proven fact is the hermie trait is passed on and that feminized seeds are more likely to hermie than a regular seed. This is a fact not speculation.

Does this mean that seeds from a hermie will only produce a hermie or just that the increased risk of a hermie idigenous to a feminized seed will pass on?

 

[Aberration]

feminized seeds are more likely to hermie than a regular seed. This is a fact not speculation.

How is this? Do you know the mechanism?

 

[Dumpy]

I have read that the feminized seed is somewhat more prone to turn male. The perfect scenario is to grow 10 regular seed and take 10 clones from each. Throw the original 10 into flower and destroy the males and their clones, leaving you with approx 50 stable females.

My question is will a seed from a feminized plant that has turned herman be more likely to turn herman than the original feminized seed?

Another week has passed. The girls are doing well. Watered them this morning. Will be posting pics Monday as the inlaws are here for easter weekend.

Getting a little cramped in there.

Hey Sundvr420, , The growing medium is ProMix BX and HP. To start them I used the BX and when I transplanted them I used HP. No reason for the change, it's just what the shop I use had that day. The ProMix growing medium is nice because you need not worry about PH and air at the roots. It just happens. I still ph the water though.

Nutes:

Dutch Nutrient Formula Grow A+B
Dutch Nutrient Formula Bloom A+B
Pro Silicate
Organicare Seaplex
Triptonic B1
Root Excelurator
Amino Acid
Multi Zen
Bud Candy
Clear

Lotsa chemistry. I'll take a pic of the feeding schedule for you as well. Works for both soil/soilless and hydro.

Thats the nutrient schedule I've been following brodda.

Just a tad, They look great though.

Getting a little cramped in there.

They look great....wonderful job...

 

[Aberration]

I agree. They look quite healthy. It may be cramped but I predict great results at the top of the forest canopy.

Thanks Broddas. They seem to be sucking up alot of water these days. There are seven plants and they seem to be processing 60 litres or 15 gallons of liquid every week. There will be plenty of room next time as well. The new tent seems to have tons of room. Had the 2 tonne split A/C unit installed yesterday. Takes it about 3 minutes for the tent to become a fridge. Bought a Danby dehumidifier yesterday as well. Should help keep humidity under control this summer. It seems like a lot of work to getting things together. Thinking of getting a reverse osmosis water filter and filtering the water to a reservoir thats approximately 20 gallons so it will be available as i need it. I might be over thinking this, but I just don't want alot of unchlorinated water sitting.

No such thing as over thinking, just half assing and that aint your style brother.

Sounds like the next experiment is going to be legendary

End of Week 3 of flower. all seems to be going OK.

looking great!!!

Thanks brodda. They are starting to show a bit of snow around the flowers. Ordered a usb microscope off of amazon today. Should have some cool close ups next week.

 

[Mr White]

They are looking healthy as can be. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Thanks man! Me too..

usb microscope is a sick idea
