NL#5xMalawi x Unknown F1 Test run
25th October 2020
Okay so firstly this is just a test run of some seeds from a previous autoflowering plant that was unintentially
pollinated from more than likely one of my feminised pollen projects. π
Not the most ideal way of pollen chucking I know but when I found the seeds I could tell from the look of them that
I just had to give them a try. π
Every single seed looks almost Identical to one another , they are all a nice size with a dark colour and prominant striping
which hopefully a sign of good genetic potential. π
Now for a bit of info regarding the mother plant .
She was an interesting Autoflowering cross between Northern lights #5 and Malawi from ACE Seeds .
It grew really sativa like flowers that although were fairly airy and lightweight , produced masses of them.
The smoke was really sativa like too with a fresh minty/pine like flavour and racy head high. π
So at some stage it must have recieved some of the pollen from one of the feminised pollen donor projects
I had running at about that time. Looking back It probably comes down to either Red Diesel from Barneys Farm
or Peyote WiFi from Seedsman seeds. π
My goal now is to grow them out but firstly I will need acertain whether any of them carried the autoflowering genetics
by keeping them on a 13 hours + light cycle for the first 6-8 weeks of their life.
If any of them commence to flower during that time It will definately carry the autoflowering genetics so those can be
seperated from the others for potential on breeding.
Any plant that is obviously still in veg after the 6-8 week period will be physically inspected for desired characteristics
π Overall Health and Vigor
π Plant shape and internodal spacing
π Interesting or strong smelling stem smell when rubbed
I will then more than likely pick a couple that I like the best and flower them indoors on a 12/12 cycle.
πSo I have 10 little seedlings that have come up so that was a 100% germination rate Not a bad start π
I also have an anomaly plant. Apparenty VERY RARE π¦
Now I have heard of triploids but this has 4 cotyledons and 4 true leaves π
Pretty cool hey!! π
All can i do is just let them all do their thing now and will see ya next week for another update.
Cheers for stopping by π
Those garden beds are so good mate. Canβt believe how dear they are at Bunnings though!! I got one off gumtree for $30, just needed a clean up. I put my veges in. Atm planted sweet potatoes, spinach and garlic! I only just got told that you can plant a clove of garlic with the little tip bit facing up and yeah, they grow! Also nice marigold mate ππ»
Nice job on the trainingπ
Looks warm outside, woke up to -12c this morning, not really cold but making iceπ
Should be fishing the bigger lakes after Christmas sometime, I need at least a foot
of hard water before I venture out to far.
Luck from Canada!!
Looks like a green carpet there more then the sativia she is!! Love it, Ive shied away from growing sativias until fairly recent, I went with a 70% sativa 30% indica Caramelo rather then my usual indica heavy hybrids for once but cant bring myself to plant something that looks like a near full on REAL sativa like this girl. The malawi is an incredible strain but takes forever to finish so I hope yours didnt take 14 weeks in flower!!
