Thanks, I may top them. I have so much going on its hard to do much training. Most of my plants will be el naturel. 3 properties, 3 outdoor cannabis gardens, indoor garden and 4 veggie gardens keeps me busy everyday.
This SD is just like you describe. She will stank up a room as soon as you open the bag. The best of each year goes first and last years crop of SD is all gone up in smoke! We went through my notes and excel files yesterday trying to find who the breeder was. Sadly that info was lost in the fire, hopefully it comes to me in a stoner moment when I least expect it. I'll post some pictures of the girls I have going outdoors. We took clones yesterday of each to use to breed with. Who ever the winner is gets to have babies with an auto.
This sounds like a keeper alright! The breeder's name will pop into your head eventually, what matters now is the cut -
Are you exploring any auto SD's to cross with? I wonder if karma has an auto version of his Sowah SD....
The 3rd Cream Cheeze F1Fv clone this one went put a couple of weeks ago as the other 2 transitioned into flower already and so is this one already. It was in vegetative growth indoors under 16 hrs of light which is roughly where we are at outdoors so I'm thinking the far red outdoors is putting her to bed a bit earlier than I was thinking... she's well over 140 days old now at this point possibly transplant shock forced flowering... this plant also flowered extremely fast indoors and was ready for harvest after 48 days
I think we're seeing a maturity level from their age combining with FV "hair trigger blooming" happening here.... The only way to test and maybe prevent it is keeping them at or under 14hrs light, or what ever it takes to have them going into longer light hours.
The drastic spectrum change is in play too no doubt, and likely the tight shoes had her at the edge already...
I also figured out what has been my problem and it’s the soil I’m using for the seedlings. I ran into this before and should have read my notebook notes. Going to pick up some seed starter soil next go round.
Borderline too hot?...what were they in before?
Getting this grow together has been a long drawn out affair but bit by bit, piece by piece, I'm getting there!
One upside is these purchases are done with, and now you're well outfitted
...got the PM mate, just getting caught up all over....
Hi autolovers!
I have one novelty.Gorilla sherbet fast isn't fast verzion.It's semi auto
She's in flowering!
She was biggest in grow box and I'm sure now,inasmuch biggest fast verzions in start grow are semi autos,no fasts.
But she is not small!
Ah, Jean and I were just talking about this... part of an ongoing discussion over the years!
There's no real solid definition of a "semi-auto" that I've seen, but I'd say
generally all "FV's" are semi's... they still need that drop in light hours to trigger blooming... But then you have what Jean has experienced this season, some going into bloom even with very little light hours change. this is what we mean by "hair triggered", meaning very sensitive to it. It appears certain red wavelengths also are influencing matters....
I think that when it comes to this FV/semi' thing, there's some grey area between semi' and fully auto'ing, especially at the F1 stage in breeding.
From what I've seen, there's more factors in play with this than just a simple Mendelian recessive/dominant inheritance thing controlling what we call "auto'ing"...
I've seen several instances of an F1 auto/photo cross show a full auto at this stage, very rare but it happens! Private breeders in particular...
Also keep in mind that auto'ing doesn't equal speed, really it just means that the plant will go into bloom under ANY light hour schedule.
When it does can be quite variable....
I feel that F1 FV's can produce true long cycle auto's with longer veg' times, and pretty variable in their ease of triggering into bloom...
Spotting them is tricky because you can't tell sometimes due to other changes going on at the same time, like transitioning to outdoors....
That GSFV of yours just might be one of those true long cycle auto's, an outlier in the mainstream of normal behaving FV's... That she went into blooming under the longest light hours of the season certainly begs some questions, yes?
