Gnome Automatics My Journey to ALF#5

[Exotic Flower]

We need a new name for this color.
Mandalorian Purple?
That daddy bud is a hunk.

A much needed update and i am sorry for the delay its just a busy time of year for me.

Balanced cross for me ATM.....I See family traits...but at this stage....those pistils are Alien to me.......could change as she matures...

I see family too, the cross sections to the leaf are what i look for. The dragon/DC has a very hard defined leaf pattern. The fingers and the grooves all show when shes dom, she has thicker pistils too. Which is not the case here, she is showing more of the bubba pistils here in the expression. I think that is why they are foreign to you. I think you will get a better understanding of them in the future...

BTW...did you see @arty zan post yesterday with his dwarfs....?....he says he has the technique off....but they Sooo remind me of the girls you used to grow..all bud.

I Reported the post...so all the staff got to See the...so check RP's...

I looked for this post and couldnt find it. Id love to see them. They were my fav to grow. All bud easy trim

That is just an awesome colour FD!

Thanks @Eclectic Elle i am pushing to get the color deeper and more consistent. I know that the content is good now i want the color consistency too. For the longest time people have complained on the content of colored pot, my last tests came in at 21% thc on the colored females. ITs not 30% or higher but it is an auto that is competing on the market.

FD brudda mine! .... spank me very much-- for letting a fekkin' whole month roll by like a fart in a wind tunnel ,... been scurrying about like Scrat after my own acorns lately!

.... but good news is I'm nearly done,... only Outdoor Grapefruit left, and she's a Beauty Queen mate, I'd say the most lovely plant I've had to date all-around,.. come eye-hump her at your leisure, .... Final grow pics in a day, then Weds. or Thurs. it's Time...

Me too mate me too, i have been busier than a one legged ass kicker in an ass kicking contest. Its croptober here in the PNW and we I have been putting in my time at the farm every free second that i get. So between that and the day job and the breeding that i have going on my hands have been tied.

I need to get my ass over and see the thread and catch up. Ill bounce over there sometime either tonight or tomorrow and see what has been crackin.... I know that you are kicking ass over there.

Meantime it's been City in this 'Hood!

---- this, makes my pickle crisp!

--> those pistils are almost hypnotic with that gentle consistent serptentine wave to them! ... up-skirt shots are perv-ilicious too.....

She is down now, and in the cure. I will get harvest pics up once the rest of the lot is done. That way i can get numbers on the amare se500. She was unique and carried the sour berry smell that the selected mother was. Her sister in the same pot had the same smell but was not as hypnotic. Something that i saw in this grow was unique and new. The multi pots seemed to pass terps and hints of color to the sister plants in the pot.

oh man, what a juicy pair they are! And an straight-up amazing result for size and yield in that size pot- - the stalks are very beefy, like they were long-term wind exposed... This an object lesson on how multi-potting can work damn well, and produce IYF fat yields, IF you got the game for it! And the size, that's showing up in spades FD,... the LST'ed portable privacy hedge girl is a marvel, looking forward to seeing her in pre-harvest prime-time ripeness!

These two had the same thing going on . The lower half and of the larger plant was colored but the upper part remained white. Almost as if the colored girl she shared the pot with passed some of the anthocyanin to her sister just like the above passed the sour berry smell.

Stalk size is common in the genotype, i see it in all of the alf#5 line. I also do use direct fans but the majority share the large stalk size. Good feet for a good yield as you can already see what they can do in the 2 gal pots. Now you see why we are getting 8 footers in 25-30 gal multi pots.

The hedge.....oh the hedge, check the post after this for her results....she comes down friday at 90 days.

her bones... her main is going Cricket Bat! ...F5's, or more F4's?

F5's mate

stoooop!! So killin' me,... ... gorgeous bud as always FD, that color richness and the white sugar-dipping never-gets-old!
... wooow, that male is Pimp-Daddy badass! ..color 2x, that jiggy-dust is gonna make phat babies!
>>>

... therein lies the rub! How to balance the total life time with yield, space, etc. against faster life cycle, lower operational costs, etc.,... For me the line is around where if one has a fairly fast photo', veg'ed for 4-5 weeks, then flipped for apprx.8 weeks bloom time, then you have that energy cost weighing in vs. an auto running for the same duration,... at least for home growers,... but a commercial gig my see benefit because of the ability to run them year round, or close to, with supp' lighting = more $$, when the rest are not,...!

They are getting there. I want more tric coverage on them. I know what direction i need to go but its going to take time to get there one them. I know it does not translate to potency but the bag appeal and the kick is where its at, at least for my eye. One building block at a time it seems.

The male is going to help the color for sure. The mom on this round was from a darke male and female cross. He will be used in the color F5 making and the mom is just as dark too. So it will be 2 generations of colored male and female making F5 color selection and should lock in the color trait, seeing more colored males and females in my future.

Most of them are finishing around 60-75 days, and they are still yielding in low light hours. So to me i am seeing more of the day neutral trait than anything. Older rudi was stalling as well as lowering yield but the gals that were late season still pushed forward. Looking like christmas trees.

and now on to the juicy shit...

F5 seed from the big girl full pollination, no final count but were pushing 1k

Male and female used in the next gen of the dark colors, Seed will be F5 here as well. 2nd generation of colored male and female.

@Waira The bush......

as usual big bitches in small containers.

And a little Retail packaging of Anvil (ALF#5 purple selection) local guy grabbed some and sent me a pic

the cross sections to the leaf are what i look for. The dragon/DC has a very hard defined leaf pattern. The fingers and the grooves all show when shes dom, she has thicker pistils too. Which is not the case here, she is showing more of the bubba pistils here in the expression. I think that is why they are foreign to you. I think you will get a better understanding of them in the future...

Oh...you can tell a lot about a cross on the leaf pattern...... DC/ALF#3 went over to what I Think of as tropical leaf shape with the horse shoe drip catcher shape in the middle.

JEM/ALF#3 being predominantly 5-7 finger....first moves I made were to take her down to 3/5 finger...have a rummage in the genetic pool...
DC intro I rummaged in the 9-11 fingers.
I prefer the higher number selections.

The thicker White pistils were present in Bobby's and Budwider.
I always attribute it to the White line..ie white widow/russian etc...denser colour makes

I looked for this post and couldnt find it. Id love to see them. They were my fav to grow. All bud easy trim

Yeah [HASHTAG]#livesstoners[/HASHTAG] moves so fast..blink and you Miss it...... @arty zan could you post the Fat bottomed girls in here so FD sees them please...?

@FullDuplex

this is @arty zan 's first posted one...

I know you guys want to see how my Trippy gorilla Auto turned out, so here is the pre-harvest pic of the biggest girl.
The trunk is twice the width of a clipper lighter, the canopy is all bud. I used my "Dwarfing Technique" to keep the height down, along with Topping, HST,LST & defoliation to shape the plant.
apologies to anyone I didn't tag, right now I have a stinking cold/flu so my head is all over the place.
Time doesn't wait for any man/woman so the chop need to be dones, whether i feel up to it or not!
More harvest pics to come in the near future. 3 more plants to chop, although 2 plants had a selective chop, so some meds could be had for Stones Birthday soiree, which was a very cool and enjoyable event!
Without any further a do, here are a few pics.

If anyone is wondering the pot is an 18 liter auto pot.

That's some fire! I'm sure you already knew that

 

[Eclectic Elle]

So they don't measure for CBG? Can you explain why the total THC percentage is less than the percentage of THC-A? I don't understand that bit
