Welcome to week two folks :D
These lovely girls are shooting up nicely. Judging from the structure of the way the seedlings are growing I believe that the stabilization of my F2 breeding is successful. 5 of these plants are very clearly the identical twins of their mother and father while the other two consist of one stunted baby that could be anything and one of the clearly slower growing and more bushy phenotype. Granted it is still too early to tell if my assumption is correct but it looks this way so far. In the coming weeks their growth structure will very clearly define their phenotype. I'm very excited to see them grow even more in the coming weeks. They are loving their current nutrient regiment and once their stalk begins to thicken up at about week 4 I'll begin upping their nutrient regiment. Until then enjoy some fun pictures. Cheers!
Man this is awesome! Excited to follow your journey. How do you separate all of them so you control the pollen and breeding? Do you have multiple grow rooms/tents?
@put_around, I close it off when I'm breeding. It is a very scary thought that pollen might escape. I try to segregate the male and collect the pollen in another room. When I pollenate by hand I do make sure to be careful and apply the pollen directly to the flowering nodes in a small quantity as needed and then shut all the vents in that tent for about a week. Pollen can be viable for a few weeks but typically if you only apply it in a reasonable amount to directly where you'd like to be pollenated you don't have to worry too much about it spreading except to directly next to where you just pollenated. It's all about being careful.
@DabCrab, thatโs cool. So do you have an exhaust fan on the tent that has males? Iโve been curious on breeding a golden goat with a blue dream but Iโm nervous about pollen escaping the tent and contaminating my other tent โบ ๐ฌ
@Gr33nGiant, It's pretty simple and easy buddy. Just chuck pollen into a safe enclosed space. That and pray for a good breeding. Sometimes breeding produce junk. I've made a few strains that are just absolute trash and belong in the garbage. Happens sometimes.
@biggreens420, I was just so busy for two weeks. lol. All my grows suffered quite a bit. It happens. I do secretly love treating plants like ๐ฉ though. Please don't tell anyone.
@Endriu, They are derived from a White Widow X Skywalker Kush. Then I took the best male from that and bred it with a female Trainwreck to make my F1 Ahsoka Tano. I then took the ((White Widow X Skywalker Kush) X Trainwreck) Ahsoka Tano babies and bred the best tall branchy phenotype male with his female counterpart to make this F2 Ahsoka tano.
