Bob's Journey into Hybridisation and Genetics - For Dummies

[Bob's Auto's]

Oh yeah, I've also got some updates for ya'll


These plants are are all so freakin' healthy and vibrant, with loads of budsites and still quite some headroom for the lights to go up
The hygrometer I installed was to check it's value's against my own sensor...It's usually 1% off. It depends on how the fan is blowing on the devices...

Underneath there's still quite some cleaning up for me to do. This will be done tomorrow as why, will become clear in a moment...

My male is almost ready to release it's pollen. I don't mind it to happen now, as it will give the seeds more then enough time to mature and will allow for new budsites to form which won't be pollinated. I don't need thousands of seeds, hundereds is more then enough

The monkey fan is hanging straight above my male directed at him and running at setting 2 of 3. So as soon as a flower opens up, the pollen should go everywhere

A while ago, while trimming everything below a certain point, I also removed the male parts as I wanted the energy going towards less flowers, but with more vital pollen, if that makes sense

Still loads of flowers to mature over the coming days...

@Sawney_bean's Slaughtered Lamb #1. An absolute beauty!!

I don't know if you can see it, but I've used a technique I saw Sawney do many times, which is crushing the main stem. I began to do this to the Skywalker OG x UK Cheese cultivars followed by the other cultivars over the next days.

Dinafem's Cheese XXL, just starting to flower. One of the more later cultivars, but the offspring will most likely be a whole lot faster. Previous crossings with CMD in it's parental lineage will inject a lot of speed into finishing.

To almost end this post, I've made a short clip going through the tent... Borrowed this idea from @St. Tom & @NORBY (without the cool intro and music)

And of course...Another time lapse. Speed = 30fps, duration = 90 hours. Enjoy

Regards,

Bob

@Emerald Archer, thanks again for the rep brother

I would too if I wasn't going for seeds, lol. But this guy looks ready!..if you get my drift

very curious about this. I’m a fan of super cropping. 2 of my biggest and best plants needed to be supercropped. Is this technique like supercropping without the bending action? Just stressing the plant a bit?

Your tent looks f$&king awesome btw Bob. You really got a handle on this organic growing.

It is a form of supercropping yes, but instead of injuring one specific part on the branch, you crush the entire stem from node to node. After that has healed, you can move on to the next untouched part, working yourself up to the top. It doesn't work on woodified stems though, so you'll have to do it to that part before it woods off.

And thank you for the kind words my man!!!

I think this is along the lines of Kyle Kushman doing his Kushman Chiropractory.



its abo 1/2 hr and if u have time an interesting watch.

is this similar to what u do ‘cracking the stems’ Bob?

It's a pretty awesome technique. Once I became comfortable with it, it's what I usually do to clones because it's so fast and easy. And yes, risky. But who are we kidding? We grow hardy weeds.

Hey guys


Did some maintenance work inside the tent yesterday...Cleaning up the undersides of the plants. And while the pots where out the tent, vacuum in between the tray and sides of the tent. Getting it nice and clean.

My gent has been spewing pollen since yesterday, so I'll keep him inside for one more day.

Today I juggled the plant and a cloud of pollen flew up, away from the plants. The extraction fan running at 10% is enough to suck all that pollen out.
I tried to make a clip after I saw the cloud, but the pollen for today was spent...

..so tomorrow I'll shut the extraction off, slightly open the tent up and juggle the plant once more, then close the tent and let it settle down for 15min or whenever the humidity get's to high. And that will be the end of it. Afterwards the male will become chicken food.

My Cheese XXL #1 is starting to pile up the pistils.

As are they on the other plants... Double Grape x 3BOG #1 is looking great!

My @Sawney_bean collection is looking very scrumptious, don't you think?

They are really showing lot's of vigor and pistil production

I've supercropped the Skywalker OG x UK Cheese plants as the tips were getting sun burned. I even tried to tilt the light, but that wasn't enough.

Today everything is more or less even in height...

So after I remove the gent tomorrow, later that evening I'll be spraying the entire tent down with a mix of water and Boom Boom spray. One, this will kill of all remaining pollen. And two, it'll boost the plants one more time

Hope you enjoyed today's post. To finish up here's another time lapse from the last couple of days.
Speed = 30fps, duration = 74 hours.

Regards,

Bob
