End of week 9 on the flower and they still ainโt done. I figured we were days and neither has turned over as quickly as originally thought. Either way, probably for the best - gave us a few days to put em on the flush and clear out the medium. Still think the sherbet goes off first and sheโs purpled out into a wild fruity dream. The FFT5 is just a straight freak show. Still canโt believe this plant turned in to what it did (shoutout to @BudXs on the bean loan๐). Sheโs been a pleasant surprise the whole way through. Itโs be really nice to see fastbuds make something of these genetics in their product line๐. Should be last entry before the final finish. Take it ease yโall๐ค.
Background
This has been coming for awhile and I even killed half an auto cycle just to finally get to it.
A 5 strain, 14 plant micro run. All done in 1 gallon smart pots. Iโve got a sprinkle of fast flower fems (shout out to BudXs for that FB Tester๐) and some of a prized outdoor grow from 2019 that happened to catch a little pregos and yielded a small amount of seed.
No idea what the quality is like and only way theyโll be usable at all is if I can run Em back against the parent. The primary goal is to test the waters on some primo 707 and Skywalker cultivars in the hopes that we can pull out a couple of males for pollen collection. From there and on the next cycle through, weโre gonna run a bunch more of each in an effort to backcross and stabilize out some viable seed with a select few females. The end game is to use the pollen from that generation to hopefully blend some wacky hybrid from within BWโs existing seed collection๐คท. This process can take awhile so itโll be a long time comeโn. In the end, Iโve got my heart set on some perfect combinations thatโll be straight fuckโn ๐ฃ. Itโs gonna be worth the patience๐๐๐. Never thought Iโd say this but.... Letโs pray for some balls mofo!!!๐ค
@DreamOn, gonna need it homie๐. If half the grow is a success it has a 50/50 chance of ruining the other half of the grow๐คฃ. Should be interesting at least๐ค๐ lol
@Smokwiri, lol! Shoulda figured that lol. And yeah - got a couple ideas for some hybrid crosses. When I get to that point Iโll prolly reach out to a few people just to run some test grows for feedback. Realistically though, Iโm looking to back cross and ensure stability (and more seed) in these 2 strains first. Well see how it goes but I figure about another 2 cycles before I have a stable hybrid to share with people. Iโll keep ya in mind if ur interested๐๐.
@Miss_Greenthumbs_Garden, lol - already done. Now just waitโn on these quick flowers to finish so that we can move along to crossing hybrids๐. Iโll be flush with multiple F1 strains in about 6 months and if u see anything that strikes ur fancy just DM me and Iโll send ya some๐๐๐
@Smokwiri, cheers dude! Itโs a pollen hunt so feels like a bit of a wasted grow. But gotta start somewhere and this was really the only time of the year available. Thanks for takeโn a look and hopefully it doesnโt disappoint.๐
@UKPersonal420, thanks very much๐! His/her progeny have actually just gathered and made new babies with another fire strain so weโre obviously very happy with the journey this far๐
