Photoperiod RivetGrrl's Photosensitive Adventures

[RivetGrrl]

Gorgeous nugs you got there. I ran a couple peppermint kush from Barney's that turned out well.

Thank you , may not be "top shelf" genetics, but I wasn't expecting much, I have heard good and bad things about BF. It was one free seed with an order, and germinated well too.

rivet im going to have find or get a pic of some buds for yah my buddy had one of them as a freebie turned out amazing covered in frost and purple not as much as your but very close and like you say it finished alot faster than anything else in the tent how does yours smell

Was it BF Peyote Cookies? I got it free from Attitude/Choice. I've had some great freebies that I just throw in where there is room to "see".
I'm the worst to ask about smell, seriously "urinal cakes" come to mind first just now
But no pee smell, very strong smell of cleaner almost (pine-sol, still thinking about urinal cakes lol), bit of incense. Always something subtle I can't make out. It is a pleasant smell but very different from what I am used to, very interesting.

Barney's Farm Peyote Cookies, first time I've grown a BF strain and I'm pretty impressed with the frost, lovely color too. Now the wait for dry and cure to see how she smokes. I still have to finish harvesting, she finished up unexpectedly fast and I wasn't planning to chop her this soon. I had her under a @BigSm0 Cob with my usual QuickGrow LED strips on the plants at the back. Not sure if this strain is super frosty or the cob but I think I'll be getting more of these lights :smoking:
I took some pics with the camera, but it really had a hard time focusing, so did my phone. I want to start running pics through Lightroom and posting those up, kinda like a nicer portfolio

Doesn’t get any better than this!

Thank you very much, I threw another plant under one of your cobs that wasn't getting too sticky, and I swear it's actually producing some nice tricholmes as I give her a few more days to mature.

Thank you very much as well

I probably mentioned this in a previous post, but I decided to pop some almost 10 year old seeds, and they did! Out of 7, 6 germinated. Very strong and healthy too. Out of those I got 3 males and 3 females, and I am loving the boys! (Didn't even take a pic of the ladies) :smoking:
They stink, one is so vigorous he's outgrown all of them including the girls, and he has a lovely purple to him.
Worth breeding with? I don't know, I haven't the experience yet, but it's a good enough start.
The two other males, I kept because one I named Dr. Seuss as he has those whorled leaves, and the other is showing some mutation in his leaves too. Also, they are both growing three nodes at about the same point (growth after is back to two, but it's a free topping that could be passed to their progeny).
While I was removing some lower branches and foliage on both the males and the females, the smell was almost making my eyes tear up.
So here is Sensi Seeds Hindu Kush, ten years later...

Look at him go in the solo cup, he shows no signs of stress or slowing down (He's in a 1/2 gal pot now, all of them are). He was topped as I made the assumption he was female early on due to the smell and trichome development before showing sex.

Purple, stinky and sticky, he's known only as HK [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] (2nd sprout to pop up, 1st is a choice looking female that will undoubtedly bear his offspring)

Tri-nodal! This is Dr. Seuss and he's weird and wonderful :smoking:
@Waira check out what this dude is doing now!
I *believe* this is a polyploid (Whorled Phyllotaxy)?, the mild fasciation makes me lean to this, what that means as far as genetics is concerned, is beyond my understanding at this point, all of this is. But this could be interesting to pursue, although I surmise if this was something that was desired, it would already be in some genetics I am sure. Other than fasciated bud creeps me out..

Some cross over from the Dinafem thread, I'm loving this Quick Critical

This is truly exciting my friend!
Once you make your first seeds, there is no turning back, as it is very addicting.

I see that Sensi Seeds is not even carrying this line anymore?

So, are you just thinking about using that outstanding looking male only?

Since this line is no longer available, i would do an Open Pollination using all males for a small reproduction in order to keep the line alive, as well as not bottle necking any genes.
But this is just me. I hate seeing lines like this go away, as it appears so far that there could be some real gems to be had.

If you choose to start doing pheno selections with this run, say with that one male ,more times than not, when i am choosing selected plants, be it donor or recipient plants, I have a real gut feeling about the selected plants that I am going to use. Of course, i also do look for traits that i like, like that purple male, he is a keeper in my book just with that trait.

Hope i did not confuse you by sounding maybe contradictory in how you choose to reproduce this line, be it OP,or starting selections with these F1s. Just don't second guess your self, just do what really 'feels' right in your gut. I know that it is in you, as i sense in your desire to start producing your own seeds.

That Quick Critical looks outstanding?
i have a few D-F CBD critical autos that should be popped sometime soon.
i have been very happy with D-Fs gear thus far.

Peace

Hi Stickman, thanks for dropping by!

I found this on their website, looks like it is not so special? https://sensiseeds.com/en/cannabis-seeds/sensi-seeds/hindu-kush
However, has anything changed in the line in ten years I wonder?
But I still like the idea of open pollination to get a variety of seeds to do a larger run, in order to have a wider choice than the 6 plants I have now.

No worry about confusion at all, I like the selection my instinct. I am addicted to science and research, and I know I will complicate things by second guessing myself, and thinking I "need to know more" before I do anything. Hence why I have not posted this elsewhere yet, but I should?
Your experience and input is gold, so fire away with anything!

I am loving Dinafems gear too, and want to do another run with the Quick Kush soon to see how they do now that my environment *should* be dialed in. I have 3 humidifiers now! And in the winter I'll be adding a space heater. Tricky room but I am happy I have an entire room for this, not just a corner. Planning on an acreage in the future as well, it has always been my goal to have my own business in some horticulture related aspect. My lofty goal is a small craft cannabis and seed farm :smoking:

 

[RivetGrrl]

UGH sorry for the confusion, I used to grow Afghan Kush for some time and got confused! It is Hindu Kush. My apologies I will edit the name to avoid further confusion.

Hello RivetGrrl :smoking:
Your plants are so nice and frosty. I was just admiring Quck Crtical above the nice colours.

I am a totally newbie to photo growing. Trying out my free seeds i got with the Attitude purchase from, the seedbanks never give free autos but I do have 2 feminsed photos. Blue Fire - Humboldt Seeds. It will be outdoor in pots, size yet to be determined.
