Ha, ha... He should have stayed his butt in Brooklyn instead of crossing the bridge into Manhattan.
I can see the headlines now.

DALE'S BLUE BLOOD (MEDICANN BLUE BLOOD in SIP grown in honor of SWEETSUE'S DALE) Day 46


While hanging out at Sue's place last week I ran into an interesting thing called Ponytailing. It's a no-stress method of training (introduced to us by our co-member Atrain) which helps promote growth of the lower foliage. After witnessing the results Sue's having I had to try it.

I do this at least 3 or 4 time and it benifit the under growth greatly. Especially when a 600w cfl can be placed right in there close. You can do it more but I usually can tuck the larger fan leaves under the new growth after 4 times so it's no longer needed.....

Ponytailing and fan tucking is the name of the game with young autos. NO STRESS

AFGHAN KUSH Auto (Clone) Day 37


It's been 12 days since the male plant was put in the Veg Tent and today I spotted seed pods on our auto, my very first breeding accomplishment.

Success all the way around!

Well done with the breeding BAR. Raising that standard appears to be what you excell at.

Here's a post by John which may explain why the cloned auto we pollinated has sprouted seed pods so fast.

I've cloned auto Amnesia two hundred times. They were my least successful at about 50% normal looking babies. I grew out 4, and they looked and acted just like their mother, were the same strength high, and they all harvested at about the same time with mothers (2) a little late and 5' tall. The clones were a little early and about 3' tall. Mothers in 5gal buckets, daughters in 3gal pots. I won't do it again. 22 ozs from 6 plants. Last crop of sour D photo clones yielded 24 ozs from 4 plants, all in 3gal pots. Both grows under 2 600w HIDs, in 50/50 mix of H.F. and O.F. and full range of G.H. nuts at 50% recommended strength.
See ya.

Being that the auto clones eventually catch up to the mother maybe they move through their timeline at lightning speed.

Now it's a real party!

This is part of a post by Cronic about hermie seeds which I just recovered a truck load of in my last journal.

its gonna hermie about the same time you stressed it to hermie
you don't want stress hermie you want fem seeds to chemical hermie like colloidal silver
or silver thiosulfate
they all have the hermie gene you want to suppress it as much as possible not bring it out
someone already tried this and results were as said
seeds from the hermie plant hermied about the same time as the original

I don't have to say it, you already know... EXPERIMENT!

 

[Dennise]

I just tapped a PTW bean that was from a hermie but it was late in life and I'm going to give her a try......
