@ Dudeski and @ wwwillie Anvil (Alf [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] isolated to the colors 2 gens of purp male and female)
@ Mizzo81 Rambler (Alf [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] isolated to the colors 2 gens of purp male and Highlighted female)
@ SOOTDAWG Pure ALF#5 (F5 of alf [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] indica selection )
@ Dichoti LokiOG (ALF [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] Large selection more sati F4)


What a test group! Finally, in-house grows of the pheno' spread - shweeeeeet,...

@FullDuplex -dude you must be fizzing by now! What a difference a year makes, right?! .... So, I'm wondering if you'll expand a little on each phenotype please,... I have lost track of some, despite our chat's,.... Where does the berry pheno' show up? And what branch is the hash-bat pheno' hanging from? ... the big girls, are they all under the sati'-leaning LokiOG umbrella?
... I see a new name, Rambler, for the two-tone buds color,.... Anvil will be the uber-deep color density pheno',.... Pure AFL#5 is the mixed colors, mid-sized line?

Yep these were pure purple on purple isolation. The leaf and the flower all showed color on both sexes for both generations. If this is anvil these are her. Id venture to say that the ratio should be about 90% to show color especially on the females. They can take a beating, and will hammer through. They have a goal to reach, they have been bred indoor, outdoor, and then back in.

@ Mizzo81 Rambler (Alf [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] isolated to the colors 2 gens of purp male and Highlighted female)

So this gal, she was a late bloomer, and one of those selections that you wish that you hit before you saw what she had to offer. Once she matured a bit i made the selection with the same colored male that was used to isolate anvil. She had a multi colored bud range with highlighted leaf tips, and if there is something i like more than the full color, its these traits. They make me drool there is something about the contrast that does it for me. These are something to watch.

@ SOOTDAWG Pure ALF#5 (F5 of alf [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] indica selection )

These are the afghan looking phenos. They are the ones that have the true shape that i consider visually appealing. White on White selections, male matching females for two generations. These are the ones that grow a mast, a main cola with satellites. Its my homage to @Mossy after i saw the first set of Jem that i had my hands on. One main massive cola surrounded by these golf ball sized buds. @Waira your hashbat is hidden here.

@ Dichoti LokiOG (ALF [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] Large selection more sati F4)

Ill be honest these could take the longest of the lot. they are a large pheno, they are my venture into the true day neutral aspect of the auto. They can take an ass beating and keep going. LSt, over water, under water, light cycle changes, fert burn, and still yield for the grower. I have beat the shit out of the f4 and they have hammered right through, I hit them with a liquid biochar and fried a good portion of the smaller gals and they still produced.

What a test group! Finally, in-house grows of the pheno' spread - shweeeeeet,...

It should be a good show of the diversity. I cant wait to see what we get. The color show should be good this round.

@FullDuplex -dude you must be fizzing by now! What a difference a year makes, right?! .... So, I'm wondering if you'll expand a little on each phenotype please,...

I have a little above but the one thing that i will touch on here is the smell and trich production as well as the flower. The colors should produce a decent sized cola, if lighting is less you will see a lower leaf to flower ratio. easy on the Nitrogen with these, if you want the color it comes at a price. The N levels of the soil can be lower with these plants. Excessive nitrogen will show the typical claw and dark leaves with this pheno. It wont flush out the color but it will show in the canopy.

LED growers, have some cal/mag on hand as the larger ones will need it, they consume it faster, and if you are organic, epsom salt and oyster flower/powder is a life saver. Ive used the later as a top dressing in late veg and saw results. Egg shells or deer antler powder are a good alt to the oyster powder.

Best results are in cloth pots, single or multi pot have been producers for me on this line. Smell is unique for sure. The Loki OG is a gas smell with a dank undertone that i cant put my hand on. Pure ALF is skunky, just plain skunk asshole with earthy undertones. It has a few touches of gas and fuel. theyll stink up a room. Anvil is where the sweet sour is coming into play. there is a sour and there is a sweet that shows about every 3-4 females. the rest are earthy spicy.

I have lost track of some, despite our chat's,..

Hope that helps my friend

Wowsers what a group! I will be dropping mine tonight just gotta find the code to post with my picture.

 

[Dudeski]

My continual when all this description goes on! 3 of the 4 were above ground, after 2 cold periods in the tent. Definitely some hearty plants. I will have photos tomorrow night. Thanks for the details FD

 

[Dichoti]

Gonna drop my seeds in water this evening. Had to snake my sewer line last night or I'd have done it then.

 

[wwwillie]

Put mine in the dirt this morning, couldn't wait any longer!!
I just put one in each pot. I'm confident I'll get at least one girl. So I'll be using Autopots, a blend of DutchPro and NFTG for nutrients, NFTG [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] soil, and 2 ES 300 LED lamps along with the Bioradience wand. I precharged the soil with a bunch of different bene's and some extra Ca. I think the key is going to be keeping an eye on the N and keeping enough Mg and Ca in the mix. The Autopots make it interesting I'll run the recommended amounts of DutchPro but in smaller batches in the reservoir then top feeding of NTFG stressing on the Ca and Mg aspects. So alternate feedings of NTFG and DutchPro with some added Ca flushes along the way are my plan to get some monsters. I want to avoid the N toxicity I suffered from with the last run.

 

[FullDuplex]

Incompletely forgot to mention that autopots will cause some serious size too.

Also fellas don’t stress this grow too much the design of the genetics were resilance. Easy to grow. So that anyone could throw them into a medium of their choice and grow some great meds.

They have been tested in all your mediums and should do well. I can’t wait to watch the show. This should be interesting.

All of the 8 seeds provided are now welcomed to the world..was waiting for last one....woof

 

[Dichoti]

Had an emergency pop up, and am in the process of moving my grow stuff. Will germinate later this evening.
Damned plumber thinks my problem is in the wall...and my tent is right by the access point to everything. Thank god for having a big house. Just gotta bag up everything with contractor bags, tear down my tent and put the open bags inside after It's back up. Oh the joys of growing and not trusting a damned person outside of family.

Thankfully, I have until the 1st to germ. Moving that much stuff that quickly wore me out. I'm going to bed now.
