Blackberry, C4, Gelato, B. Banner Breed!

*Note: Check out my new grow diary! Just germinated unknown photoperiod plants! *Note:The website wont let me update my room temps. Day: 80F Night:73F RH: 50% WEEK 6 and 11 The plants are doing fine. The 6 week olds doubled their size which is normal. I need to pollinate these plants but I think I should hold off until their pistils are bigger. Thoughts? Also, the two C4 plants (week 11) still don't have any amber trichomes. Its taking forever! I am using an old jewelers loop to look at sugar leaf trichomes. I would like to upgrade to a cheap digital wireless microscope soon. 1.) Colloidal Silver Treatment I started spraying the lower branches of the gelato auto with colloidal silver twice a day. I haven't heard of anyone using one plant to produce feminized pollen (on the bottom branches) + seeds (on the top branches). So i am going to try that out with the Gelato plant. 2.) Harvest week 11 I dried and trimmed a C4, Blackberry and a Sweet Gelato (all autoflower plants) I do not have the dry weight yet. Still waiting on 2 C4 plants to get some amber trichomes. I really thought they would be mature by week 9. Bummer. 3.) Rearranged lights in room. 4.) Strain Review (uncured) Sweet Gelato Auto I am really a fan of the Sweet Gelato Auto from Sweet Seeds! They were free seeds so I thought i'd try them out. Glad I did! It is heavy on the indica side with tons of earthy sweet auroma and dense buds. I am eager to cross breed it. C4 and Blackberry Auto Some phenotype variation with the c4 where some plants looked almost identical to the blackberry. They both have a really (weird to me) pyramid bud structure. That is probably good for pressing and concentrates. This seems to be Sativa dominant because it grows tall (mine are over 3ft) and has sparse foliage and thin leaves. Blackberry smells like beer shits. Super perfume. Blackberry-Earth-Fragrance. Almost too much for me. C4 smells a little less like perfume with a sweet almost citrus smell. Blackberry and C4 have very few leaves compared to the Gelato. (less trimming!) I think that I am going to scratch in some DTE sea bird guano for flower in a week or so. Thanks for all the comments, help and support. Great community! Lots of knowledge! ------------- *update explosive growth. started some LST moved 11 wk olds into 48 hours dark for harvest. first sign of amber trichomes. just a couple but im ok with that.
