Update!

I decided to stick with RRF#1 as the male. Turned out to be just as aromatic, thankfully, and i put him in isolation (closet with a t5 strip lol), wich gets quite cold, and i noticed some purple floret, or with purple on them! Ill get some pics tonight of him, gotta wait for the tents to shut down for the night so there isnt air moving around. I'll prob get some pollen tonight, as a few florets have opened, and then be done. My plan is to do it over a dinner plate, leave the t5 over it for an hour or so, then ziplocks-then freezer.I'm sure my RRF#3 has already caught some pollen, so i'll have some RRF seeds...hopefully to help me stabilize..or work on a few other crosses later on. :hump:


APE1 showed gender (female) 18JAN12 @ 3.86' (RRF1 @ 2.24 + RRF3 @2.21), I imagine she will be much bigger in the end. She has skinnier leavlets, prob got some sativa in her. Either way , i hope the pollen lasts until i can use it! I got some "pre pollen" from a few early bloomers, in a jar, under incandecent for 30 mins, then i had to go somwhere in a rush, so it was left (no light on, i could at least do that ) and no lid for like 4-6 hours. I put a lid on it as soon as i got home, and in the freezer it went. Think it will be viable?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated, first time collecting pollen.




In the meantime, here are some pics of RRF3

She sits wide. I like how she grows. I'm not sure you can tell, but I've been working with the leaves, trying to encourage growth on the emerging budsites. Seems to bee working quite well, i can see a difference as soon as the next day.

Also in the second pic, is a lighter, for size comparason, barely visible. She is currently 8.75"
 
I'm having quite a bit of trouble with these PE's. The other ones I popped didn't grow, and this one has been a constant struggle to keep fed, it always wants to show a N def even though she gets what every pant i have ever grown ever had, ph was around 6.8-7.2 (i'm not sure how accurate that is to be honest, my ph probe got sliightly bent, but the numbers have seen right to me since that happened), so i put some fresh water down, and some food, and ph is topping out around 6.8 now, so its lowered slightly. This seemed to work the other day, for about 4 days she seemed to be in slow recovery, until today I take a look and she has reverted. My other girl is doing fucking great, and i had to install the carbon :D

Not sure whats up, but I'm regretting spending so much on so few non viable specimens. :Shrug:

Im here Dr trich!!

But im about as usefull as a chocolate teapot.. Im still trying to learn to read my plants so my nutrient advice is useless!! I can help a bit though, your last pics was all liney, a good pair of clear uv protected sunglasses help take a better picture..

Hope you get your deficiency sorted bro..

Peace..

Now that's an interesting perspective lol. True though! It is quite upsetting seeing all the lush plants (i have some photos in there now too) and everyone being so happy, and that little sour puss in the corner ruining the party! Her sisters were the same way! I was so excited to get these, especially after the packaging, I was stoked! Running out of seeds on this strain, let's hope something works out!

I did not know that about the UV glasses, I will def have to give that a shot!
 
Dude, thanks p.l.u.r for the sunglasses hint!

Here is a decent non-line-y pic of those calyxes. Personal best, at this stage of growth, for me at least.

Got a few seeds from her, bulging out, starting to ripen. :hump:

I'll put some Mi5 up when she develops more.
