New Grower Auto ABC

[DandAbc]

It's slow going so far. I'm applying STS 1:9 ratio every 4 days so tomorrow is second spray. Mother plant has a few hairs. Fairly sure I have a polyploid (Mongolian giant)sunflower. I'll get a ladder to take a pic once it blooms if I can stop the bugs.

I think the hairs have stopped sprouting, possibly some pollen in a couple weeks.

All plants were flipped at the same time but the reversed plants are in 1gal fabric compared to the 3ish gal for the mom.

Apart from what I think is a P deficiency in the mother every plant is maturing nicely. There's a few pollen sacs that look eager to open.

Those are some wild looking plants!

Looks like some pollen found it's way on quite a few buds. Just have to keep everything alive until the seeds mature. The pollen suppliers will be kept in the tent for two more weeks tops.

Very nice! At what stage are you? I am working on the same thing, recatching both the auto gene and the leaf gene requires high numbers.. good luck, subbed!

Hi Left, I'm a ways from being done. These are from (auto-duck x abc) x (auto critical x abc). I had one auto with the abc leaves but it was too disappointing so it was culled.

If you don't have to worry about plant count the abc should be identifiable within a few days of sprouting. I have gone through quite a few seeds as it's 1 in 50ish for the abc leaves for the crosses I have.

I will probably end up some autos if the mom is heterozygous for photoperiod. Should I be unlucky at least I'll have lots of large leaf abc photo seeds.

Waiting on seeds now. I'm going to make a zig zag seed/chaff separator bc these seeds are always small.

Just waiting for seeds now, second pic is an update on the crazy poly sunflower.

Feels slow but I think this is just after 7 weeks of flowering. Mid way through schedule was switched to 11/13 for an ace sativa mix pack.

Seeds look at least a week away.
