LSD Auto x Chronic Rider Fast bx F1

EVD420 Yo, what’s up growmies 🤝 Another one in the lineup. This is LSD Auto × Chronic Rider Fast BX F1. LSD Auto is one of my all-time favorites from Barney’s Farm — it has a very unique effect, easily one of my top picks. On the other side is the legendary Chronic Rider, the backbone behind many of my most interesting phenotypes. Really curious to see what this cross will bring. Running 5 plants in 1L pots. One already showed male traits, so I topped him early to save space. Let’s see how this one unfolds.

EVD420 Yo, what’s up growmies 🤝 Update on LSD × Chronic Rider Fast BX F1. Before leaving, one out of five plants showed autoflower traits and started flowering early. That plant was moved into a 12/12 box to continue flowering separately. After returning, I noticed that the male plant was actively releasing pollen under an 18/6 light cycle, which strongly suggests that this male is also autoflowering. I collected a sufficient amount of pollen, preserved it, and then removed the male plant. At this point, 4 plants remain. While I was away, the remaining plants stretched into the light and experienced minor top burn. The damage was not critical, but the burned leaves were removed, and the plants were cleaned up thoroughly. After that, the plants were moved into the flowering box, defoliated, and switched to flower.

EVD420 During this reporting period, the line underwent structural maintenance. All plants were defoliated and cleaned of excess branches to maintain airflow and structure. The population appears generally uniform in morphology and growth pattern. One exception: • Plant #3 expressed autoflowering traits and is currently in week 3 of flowering, progressing independently from the main photoperiod group. The remaining plants continue vegetative development under control conditions. Further observation will determine consistency and trait stability across the line.

EVD420 During this reporting period, structural correction and controlled pollination were performed. All plants were topped (apical control) — this was finalized to ensure uniform canopy management. Excess leaves were removed to improve airflow and light penetration. Pollination Work • Plant #1 was pollinated with LSD × Chronic Rider pollen (same line). This will produce an F2 generation, expected to reveal broader phenotypic segregation and genetic diversity within the cross. • Plant #2 was pollinated with Diesel pollen, introducing an outcross for comparative expression. • Plant #3 (the autoflowering-expressing plant) received dual pollination: • One branch pollinated with Diesel • One branch pollinated with LSD × Chronic Rider This approach allows parallel evaluation of: • Internal F2 recombination • External Diesel influence • Autoflower trait interaction within both combinations Seed development phase begins.

EVD420 This week focused on expanding genetic combinations through additional controlled pollination. Additional Pollination • Plant #3 (autoflower-expressing phenotype) — one branch pollinated with KUST F3 pollen. This brings the total number of pollinated branches on this line to three, increasing genotypic diversity. • Plant #4 — received a second pollination with Diesel pollen to reinforce seed set. • Plant #1 — pollinated again with LSD × Chronic Rider pollen (line reinforcement / F2 direction). Breeding Objective The strategy this week was to: • Expand internal recombination within LSD × Chronic Rider • Reinforce Diesel-influenced crosses • Introduce KUST genetics into the auto-expressing phenotype While multiple pollen sources are being used, all pollinations are controlled by branch, minimizing confusion during future selection. Seed development phase continues.
