Gnome Automatics My Journey to ALF#5

[FullDuplex]

Was able to spend some proper time with the SLR today. The iPhone just does not do them justice. And it was way overdue for a proper update. I have been super busy, glad these are growing themselves.

Shorter one is looking great, shes starting to kick out resin already and ive been hunting that on this selection. I love the height of the other one but her nodes are spaced a good deal apart. I figure shell fill in but for now my eye has changed on them. Ive got to make a choice I cant keep out crossing and chasing 2-3 each time i roll. Ill have nothing isolated down that way....oi the choices of a breeder.

Shorter top

Taller top

Shorter gal

tall one

Thanks again to all you following along. the end of these should be something special. Happy weekend guys and to all you vets...i appreciate it!

So this is the last of the F1 girls, we took this one last night before the chop. We did loose a little bit of that crown to mold but the thing was so dense it was expected.

 

[NugNoob]

Sorry to hear about the mold, sucks on the main cola. But like you said, it's kind of a trade off... what can you do about fast growing dank, dense buds am I right?

Nicely done, beautiful color!

Here is a little update on the Francis side of the line, we are leaning more towards the sati side on her and expected that. Fancis is being tailored to a friend whos med needs are more of a hybrid style. These F2 ladies are looking sharp and they took the man dust tonight.

Cheers to the both of you and yeah the mold sucks but its part of the deal when density gets to that point. Sometimes you just cant get past it. That is what proper ventilation and air movement is key.

... catch-up!

Cure on the big gal is amazing, hash berries is the best way i can describe it. In the jar and the direct buds smell like berries, and then ground it smells like hash and piss...

ooh man, what a combo! Funny as it sounds, I've had Catpiss, and a Trainwreck that was very similar... stingy on the nose! The smoke didn't carry the pee notes at all though, fortunately! I wonder, what the terp' combo is behind this simulated smell,... their potency was no joke either! Holy crap, Trainwreck is aptly named,...

>>. whoa! What a freakin' hash-bat!

very damn nice, big Kudos to your mate, FD!
F1 fun all the way, right? -- never know what'll pop out of the wood pile sometimes! She's got old Rudi' bones-

>> great looking studs FD! I agree too, males have their own elegance, especially ones with large booming flower spikes,... I love the burnished colors on them... you had a male that was richly colored recently, right?
... Francis' are looking juicy! Tall on tall for F3? or will it be resin loading that swings it to the shorter,...??

... could you imagine hooking up the resin lady with the Hash Bat? Such a build would be great for SOG,... it makes me think of A4's early results of breeding a Dr. Grinspoon auto- (BTW, his didn't form the string-of-beads type flowers)... They were all narrow, minimal branching, but made stout nose-cone buds and a fat main, beautiful buds,.. he made them with his own cross, Saturday Night Special, which had some JEM in them,... get this: he got color expression, just like JEM's do, from no purple to middle-deep! I was blown away that the color expression carried that strongly through such breedings,.. far as I know Dr. GS doesn't really color up,... Anyway, both are making lovely pom-pom buds, and with the tall male being used, I'd go for the resinous shorter gal,... unless the other has caught up? --- Oh, wait, you knocked them both up!- --no choose, no lose! So, is one going more in the direction for your friend, the other for your Indi' preferences?

....

Mold! A four letter word indeed,... last season, it was a fekkin' war, like gangrene... This year, I'm going to try something different,.. there's this product called Actinovate, a bacterial agent that feeds on mold/mildews,.. since the spores are ubiquitous, and are already on the plant, just waiting,... the bud grows around them, burying them so no spray can touch them, then when the weather turns, they reactivate and start infecting, from the inside out..... My plan is to spray regularly well before bloom starts, so the bacteria are going to be there just waiting for
them!

I also have Optic Foliars ATAK and Transport, so the plants tissues will get an "embedded" layer of protection,...

Yeah id say catch up where the hell have you been hiding mate..


Train wreck....Why in the flying fuck isnt that in auto form yet....and if it is ive not see it or heard of a grow on here. That was the best ADHD med i ever had, most of the crosses on this thing were just about the same. Great strain but some serious mind bending shit too.

My jaw did the exact same thing when i walked into his room. When he told me that was from the F1 seed i about shit. Really, like you said you never know whats going to pop out but shit that thing was a freaking club of bud. The rudy bones are the small satellites around that massive cola. She has dragon in her and that Screams dragon genetics, she is after all a Jem at heart with DC bringing her up to snuff.

I did have a male that had some nice deep colored pollen sacks. Not as much as i wanted but it was there, he was the F1 male that i used against the Black girl from this recent F1 run of my own.

Francis is being grown and tailored to a specific person, the sati side is what she wants and that is what im working on for her. The taller one will have take some time to finish but the little resin bomb is for me, the pollen from that line is isolated to that line. So when i split them and made the F1 seed from the colored male the F2 that are cooking now are strictly from that line. There will be no other introduction on the ALF line except IBL on them and what they produce.

The black line and the branching line are going down the same road. The only BX i plan on them is either back to a true dragon, or another bubba kush. THen there is this bobbis widow i just made...smoking the buds from that WW want me to speed up the seed drying process to see what the hell we have in there too.

 

[FullDuplex]

oh and @Waira let me know how that mold prevention goes. If i continue to see buds like this i am going to need something to prevent that. I honestly think he could have saved the crown as his airflow is sup par, actually its the one gripe i have about his environment..Then again its not mine so i dont say much just suggestion as he can grow...

Auto TW is out there my man! Sweet has an excellent version, often with orangey aromatics.. whatever they crossed it with brought that along, but I think TW photo' can be lemony though,.... Sniper has had a few Sweets TW, and a couple others here too,.. I think Crop King has one too,...Delicious Seeds,... Zamnesia/(Zambeza, I call them Scambeza), but I bet it was ripped off of Sweet or some other breeder,... fucking Scambeza is notorious for that! .....
get out, you liked TW? That's very interesting, that it helped so well with the ADHD-- it's like 90% Sativa, and can be pretty racy if picked with lots of clear+milky,... yes! It's very psychoactive,... watch out for C99 and Vortex too, those will make ya bug-eyed if you're not a bad biker speed Sativa fan!
Ya know, I wish you could have knocked up that hash bat just a little! For the tiny footprint it has, yield will be pretty damn good! A4 packed his Grinspoon's together cheek to jowl, and they developed beautifully, even the lowers made nice nose cone buds,... So, for some folks, this build would suit them nicely! .... I saw some pics of DC last night-- now I know where the heavy frosting comes from!

...Ahhh, so you did dual Papa knock-up's on those gals? --or same Papa, just treating the Sati' gal as a side project..? Oh, did you score some of those killer looking Peyote Purples from CannaBioGen? you know, the deep purple Bubba pheno'? I can't help but think that could bring a fresh load of color genes, and some more hybrid vigor-
... deeewd, the BW's are gong to be such a hoot to see what pops outta that magic crossing! I'm hoping the aromatics take a big turn down a new highway, and offer a very special buzz,... I think you have narco-heavy down my friend, this cross could be the kind of day-meds right up your alley!
FD, go get some Actinovate and try with your next pre-bloom crop! Do you have some wetting agent? (Coco-wet is my fav').... I'm just speculating about the mold spores and all that, but it makes good sense to me,... The Optic Foliar line is food safe too, BTW, so the ATAK/Transport combo could potentially add another layer of protection as well! You'd find out sooner than I will in any case, and with the density of the buds you're getting these days,....
