Had to cull one plant as it was pretty much dead, I assume due to either fungus gnats or genetics, thinking probably both. Fungus gnats seem to have been taken care of, with a mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide, Dr Zymes, fly adhesive roll, and diatomaceous earth. Haven't really noticed which one works the best, assume that making the environment the least hospitable with all factors probably did the trick. The new struggle has been increased humidity, running around 65% which worries me for another grow I have going on that is in week 5 of flower and has potential of being at the 1lb mark. So far it has been making a difference, it's a 1500sqft capacity in a 12'x12' room, has knocked it down to below 50% during a rainy day. Would recommend getting a decent dehumidifier going into flower for a first time grower. Plants seem to be fine, even one that has some yellow patches which I assume were due to fungus gnats eating away at the roots. Size has increased significantly and different leaves are forming. Size differences are apparent, with the largest one in the Miracle Grow Mix, the non-MG plant is smaller as well as the yellowed one which is in the MG Mix but assume it's size was stunted due to the gnats. Still haven't noticed signs of sex and sure hope to see them this up coming week. Overall progress has been great! Still trying to finish my other grow that isn't recorded but learning lots from a photo-period, biggest lesson learned was PH'ing water/feed as lockout sucks. Starting out, probably beneficial to have started with photo-period, although wasn't considered a beginner plant (C99) but going hard and having lessons learned definitely is more helpful than having something easy where there isn't hardship. I feel that most people want to grow without hardship and have the best results. Like everything in life, working your ass off, getting experience, and learning the hard lessons will always be the best route.

Has anyone grown seeds? If so any pointers or guidance on them maturing, drying, etc?

Pollinate the females very early, when they are just small "tufts" of white pistils, let grow for 4-5 weeks and bingo! Remove the seeds from flowers, either when wet or dry. I like to use a wooden bowl for seed drying, about three weeks, then store the seeds in an airtight container in the refridgerator until planting time. Even just half a dozen branches pollinated will give you 100-400 seeds. Just remember to use pollen from a pure male plant, pollen from a hermaphrodite will produce hermaphrodite dominant genetics in the seeds. The female plants growing the seeds will need good hydration to produce decent seeds, otherwise, making/growing seeds is super simple with no real tricks or difficulties involved. Obviously you will have to grow a male plant first and preferably in another location, unless you want your entire crop of females fully seeded! (Reversing females to make feminized pollen is technical and a bit difficult, much easier to do it the natural way) Pollen can be collected and stored in a dry, dark and cool location, (but not in the fridge!) for later use, for up to 3-6 months with virtually no loss of pollinating power. I use a small paint brush to selectively apply pollen to the chosen female flowers, usually on the lowest branches, that way you can harvest the top of the plant and leave the lower section go a bit longer if the seeds still require extra maturation time. Pollinate the female flowers when it is windless. Fertilization only takes 30 minutes or less and after 45 minutes I spritz the pollinated flowers with plain water to neutralize any stray pollen and prevent unwanted windborne random pollination in flowers you want to be seedless further up the plant. If you only have a small amount of pollen, it can be "diluted" with flour at a ratio of up to 50:1 and you will still achieve 100% pollination, as pollen is extremely fine and only one grain of pollen needs to land on a white pistil for fertilization to occur. Naturally, all seeded flowers are sacrificial, so can be thought of as a stepping stone to a bigger picture. Creating your own hybrids is an extremely rewarding and a fascinating hobby. I have created many strains, one in particular which contain genetics from Gorilla Glue, Girl Scout Cookies, White Widow, G-13, Black Domina, Jack Herer, San Fernando Lemon Kush and Cream Caramel; along with Nepalese, Jamaican, Thai and African land-race genetics too, really is quite spectacular, even if I do say so myself! This multi, multi hybrid has been a few years in the making and has become a real surprise pakage. I am almost satisfied with it so far, but I may introduce a bit of early finishing pure Sativa for a bit more zing! Once you start breeding, you won't be able to stop, as there is always "what about if I introduce a bit of ...... " or "what if I cross this with that, or that, or that" Good luck with your own projects, I guarantee you will love it! Hope this helps or inspires you. Cheers, Organoman.

Grew a strain with 2 known phenotypes, one dong like and the other purple popcorn like. When you get a hybrid of the two where its a purple dong type and it produced seeds, what is the best way breed in order to retain the new phenotype?

You could grow multiple mothers, grow cuttings from each of the mothers and you will find where the pheno you want is concentrated and breed with those. Most genetics are hereditary and will follow down the line. But we all have the family member with the weird nose...I hope this helps...probably total bullshit but sounds right in my head
