Cheers mate, and if you liked those here are a few more. She has hit stretch and is starting to take off. Also one of the other ALF#5 that I had going showed female as well.
I know that were not getting to see the breeding that I normally do and there are a lot less plants. There is reason for that and I will bring that to the table soon. Got something in the works over here for the ALF its just getting started.
Female entering stretch,
Little sister that just showed sex a day or so ago. As you can see they are fairly good size before showing sex. Which is fine by me, might not be the 75-90 day auto we are used to. Longer veg (time to correct issues and not stump them) bigger plants, higher yield.

yup, bigger more productive takes some time. Last season had a 60" and 56" in 3 gal soil, 120 D. Terrible growing season, overcast, rain and cold, I'm sure they would have been faster had there been more sun. My strategy for big and slower is going to be a month in the window grow before transplanting to the greenhouse.
sure do like the looks of these gals

Nice looking plants. Good job can't wait to see them in full flower.
Do you plan to pollinate her ? If yes can you post male pictures too?
Have a nice day

Little update on the one that is hitting her stride. Shes really got a great balanced, even structure. So far her leaf ratio is on point, and i really like the way she has shaped up.

You are right it's a nice structure. I would say a real beauty.
Some questions I got.
Is the Alf line a heavy feeder?
Do you ever breed for a low feeder? I know it's possible but never do it myself because it takes around 10 generation as I know right.
Do you plan to breed for harder not optimal conditions?
I got much interest in this because it's a new challenge for me to take my breeding skills to the next level. I talked to a guy who breed for cold climate, he told me it's not easy and he do it indoor with a full climate controlled grow room. He regulate the temperature down in every generation and plays with the humidity too.
Have a nice day
