She's almost done flowering. All of her trichomes are nice and cloudy and a few appear to be ambering up but they are taking their sweet time. What's most important for this flowering girl is that her seeds are beginning to pop out of the pregnant calyx's on her. She looks to be ripe with very healthy seeds of the tiger striped variety. Judging from the flowering length of her parents I'd say she'll be done in between day 63 - 65. I have to say I've very much enjoyed growing this girl and it was pretty fun training her and stressing her out despite there not being a real need to do so other than a little bit of practice. I'll be posting a few more days of her in the next week but for the most part she's about done. I hope you all enjoyed this grow like I did. Cheers!

@TheRealBBrown, @MG2009, @Tistou, @SillyAssWhiteDude, @ProfoundWeedium, @Abrocadabro, @DeepRoot3D, @Mr_Di, @Goarilla, @ViperGrows719, @NordicIslandGrower, @GreenForGrowth, @Grundoh Since you've all commented here I thought I'd let you all know I harvested her if you hadn't yet seen. I successfully pollinated her and reaped a nice bounty of seeds. I was able to prevent a few of the buds from getting pollenated so I also got to try a few of the buds of my strain that weren't focusing on producing seeds. I'm sure the bud is of lesser quality because of the plant focusing on making seeds but I have to say it ended up pretty nicely. The breeding is a Skywalker Kush X White Widow. I then took the best male from that lot and bred it with a female Trainwreck. I then back bred that cross with itself once and then planted the seeds here for the final breeding to stabilize the strain into it's third generation for phenotype hunting. I should be posting the diary for her geminated seeds in just a few days once they all root. I hope you all follow along for the phenotype hunt. Thanks for commenting and following along with me for this breeding documentation.

@DabCrab, But it takes time...It can be that I will delay it a bit. Have you ever tried to breed an auto flower?

@Tistou, I'm excited for you. I hope I can get in another breeding before the summer starts myself.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS @TheFairyBudMother @Grundoh @CBD_Sweden @ClubRiot @Cannism @WhiteWidow SHE'S A GIRL!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO. And I have a male that literally behaved the exact same way as her when topped as well!!!!! Perfect journal, couldn't have hoped for a better specimen to document! Pics will be posted in the AM when the lights come on.

@TheFairyBudMother, I'm sure we will know in a few days. Some strains take 36 hours of darkness and a week of 12 / 12 to even begin showing.

So I figured out why my pictures look awful. They should of course very much so have a purple tinge to them because I'm obviously using a purple spectrum light but it appears as though @Growdiaries has adjusted the color spectrum for the website which may be either intentional or unintentional but it is basically filtering everything on the website into an un-natural color spectrum. It's like the temperature of the colors has all been turned up. I just thought everyone would like to know.

@bigdaddyk we all know that @Teamdirtbag2 deserved to win this month no one can deny that he had the best grow buy far but after it was plastered everywhere and gd was told numerous time of the shenanigans going on they actually asked Brett what he wanted them to do and let’s have it right Brett’s not they type to say remove dab from the top and give me the gold cup he’s to much of a nice guy it was really down to gd to have sorted it but no doubt they will have the issues fixed hopefully for next months competitions

@DabCrab, Yh was wrong but every one makes mistakes and I agree I do think at this moment in time with all the problem happening on this site it does need to be done publicly rather than the correct and civilised manner of pm because then you know you have shown every one you are trying to stop what is happening and you are no part of it I do think that every one needs to chill and get back to doing what everyone on this site clearly has a passion for and that growing some Dank
DabCrab
DabCrabcommented7 years ago
@MISS_TRYHARD, Yeah, I was pretty upset about that. @Bigpun and @@Tryhard didn't cheat that month. They made 100's of comments. Try even showed us all a video of him scrolling through his notifications to prove them were all from different people and that they were all real accounts. @Growdiaries made a grave mistake that time. I think we all learned from that. If we want to keep things honest we can't try to be quiet behind DM's. Publicly post it for all to know and let the community figure things out. The community knows what happened this month. I made sure of it.

I respect everyone first and foremost. Everyone’s interactions with each other are different whether it’s positive or not. My interactions with DabCrab have been excellent. He’s offered me a lot of his knowledge without knowing me at all. DabCrab also put in some good work figuring on the cheaters which is commendable idc who you are and what your interactions have been with DabCrab. He renounced his prizes and asked for the likes to be taken away so to me that doesn’t smell like a cheater. DabCrab thanks for all of that hard work you put in trying to cleanse this site it doesn’t all go unnoticed. That being said I will not dislike other growers because of there interactions with others. I hope you two gentleman can work this out. Nothing but straight respect for both of you!

TeflonDonFarmscommented7 years ago
@DabCrab, Yes it’s disheartening. For what it’s worth I don’t think you cheated. I think your a solid dude. Keep on doing what your doing and pay no mind then. That’s what I would do. I appreciate that investigative work and I’m 100 percent positive this entire site is whether they admit it or not. Unfortunately not gonna be the last time this will happen.
DabCrab
DabCrabcommented7 years ago
@TeflonDonFarms, I know I did the right thing. I reported the fake accounts and I publicly stated I didn't want this and that it was in direct response to me publicly posting the activity of the fake accounts. I can even prove it with the timestamps of all the activity. Theres not much left I can really say. As for BDK, I won't lie. I've been an ass to the guy. Not unprovoked... but that doesn't really matter. I've tried everything to burry the hatchet with the guy. He's just in it for the lols. He's a first rate needle prick. I've even privately advised him before on various issues such as measuring lighting and comparing products because I didn't want to publicly embarrass him or shame him because he was doing it all very incorrectly.... I genuinely have tried extending numerous olive branches and he wishes to have none of it. He thinks he knows best and that he is superior to all. He's a condescending person down to his core. At this point, despite all evidence to the contrary, he's trying to pin something on me that both the site admins and myself can and should publicly prove that am nothing more than a victim in due to my diligence in seeing something very suspicious take place while I was making my comment for the evening. It's pretty upsetting to me that all this is happening.

Sounds like that dude is a secret fan @DabCrab. I've noticed he's aimed hate/insults directly towards you numerous times.. you can rest assured knowing that by virtue of having a dedicated hater, you're doing something right! Lol not that you need any validation from the likes of that dude. Your flowers look amazing on pretty much every harvest! And doing a new strain is something I'd love to attempt once my lady and I buy our own home.. this process must have been time consuming but you nailed it on this one!! Enjoy your new strain smoke for me! 👏👏✌️

@EdsterGrows, Thank you very much buddy. It's important that the people who follow me and like my stuff know I won't tolerate any accusations of me cheating. I've done everything I can to make sure that everything on this site is kept fair and just. I'm ashamed that someone as pathetic as this hater would try and spin this around on me after I've proved exactly who is responsible and publicly listen how this was all nonsense. I must always crab on the haters.

Nice work hear dab should be nice knowing u created your own strain are u giving any of the seeds away by any chance lol
DabCrab
DabCrabcommented7 years ago
@MG2009, I will be and do occasionally, When selecting the best male I look for aroma as well as color on the pollen sacks. Some males even produce trichomes and throw purple and pinks. It just comes down to what traits I'm trying to compliment with a female. When breeding two of the same strain to stabilize it I look for the two that are the most similar in traits all around. When breeding a new strain I look for the most crazy looking male possible. The Skywalker Kush X White Widow male was insanely purple and stinky but only on the pollen sacks. I liked it and thought it'd make Trainwreck better. I think it might have ;)
MG2009
MG2009commented7 years ago

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Agreed, you are right in that statement. The fourth generation is what everyone else would get if they were to get it that is ;) This girl is all mine and maybe a friend or two if I forget a birthday. lol
JUNGLE_B4RNS
JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7 years ago
@DabCrab,yes I will follow your mapping with a lot of interest. Father Gregor Mendel has work with peas . The fourth generation is technically supposed to be what customers are gonna get in there seed bags, this is why it's better to make a fourth generation to make sure that it is stabilized at a 100% 😉

@DabCrab, yields are dependent on canopy size for indoor. Who cares about 50g/Plant. If your canopy was say 12” in diameter you got over 600g/m2.

@Bigpun, Shouldn't be long. Just have to situate some other plants. I'm gender testing some Berry Bomb and Cheese Bomb from @Bombseeds at the moment. I'm in the process of testing them out by popping a few seeds so I can pick a phenotype that I like from them and then make a mom out of the female of my choice so that I can start a diary for their products the proper way. Once thats out of the way and I start vegging two moms of my choice (One of each strain) then I'll have space to pop these new seeds. Should be just a few weeks. Hope you don't mind being patient ;)
