I’d say your chances are pretty decent. You’re somewhere up in Canada right? I’ve only sent something there once as a trail run. It ended up working out. But other than that one time, I haven’t shipped there.

Very nice! Hoping for two lovely ladies. But aren’t we all.

I hear ya. I may not be so quick to kill the males in the next test group. I’m thinking maybe I should isolate them and let them do their thing so I can see how they’re looking. If I think there’s something there, collecting pollen for future use wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. I have plenty of empty vials in the storage case. And after finally getting a good feel of what dominant traits my 9lb. hammer male is passing along to it’s progeny, I’m really wishing I kept the cut. I’m down to my last two vials in the freezer. It was a good lesson learned. I felt like I had to kill everything after the last run or else I wouldn’t move forward. I just kept cloning and running everything repeatedly. At least @spyralout convinced me to keep BCK. I pulled the last one out of early flower and re-vegged her for more clones. I really thought I had to stop growing for a few months too due to time constraints. But here we are and the lights are still on.

I did attempt to reverse one of the BCK’s with GA3. But that was either a complete fail, or I didn’t give it long enough in flower due to inexperience. I gave up on it about two or three weeks in because it still looked like a female. I’m planning to try STS next with one of the future clones.

Do whatever you can to save that BCK. Checked just about all the boxes in my opinion. Smell, smoke, and taste tested, oldskool certified, stoner approved.
Only a matter of time before I get into the mad scientist lab to fiddle around. It's been a long time coming but once I do I may hit you up on that STS (I may try CS).

I’m not trying to wish any bad juju, but I’m guessing SI#1 and SI#3 are males. Hopefully I’m wrong and they’re all females. I’m only guessing this because from my experience, the biggest, quickest plants typically turn out to be males for me. Like SI#1. And SI#3 just gives me that vibe like it could be a male from its present structure. But who knows. You’ll be the first “in the entire world” to see them and try them. Lol. As futile as that may seem to most, I think that’s pretty cool. 
I’m curious to see if I’m right about the hunch guessing. Gotta love guessing games.

Any of beans of the P5 available ?

Interesting thanks for the insight. Our first known reg beans other than random mystery beans from over 10 years ago when we weren't truly growing yet. I want to find signs of sex before flower.I’m not trying to wish any bad juju, but I’m guessing SI#1 and SI#3 are males. Hopefully I’m wrong and they’re all females.

SI #1 is one of the smaller ones in the tote. Compared to BA #3 it's a runt. I'll have a closer look after work.
There were a couple of seeds that looked "sorta volcano" - not completely closed off and pointy, but had that navel like an orange where it gets picked. If I need to fill a couple spots due to males I will plop in a couple clones from the last run to keep height somewhat consistent. At this point any new bean popping will need to be in new systems.
First in the world - I need to tread lightly here lol

Take what i say with a grain of salt. I’m only guessing here to make it fun. Maybe I’m confused from the pic, and “reverse view.” If looking at the pic, I’m talking about the lower right two.Interesting thanks for the insight.

The seeds will be available after testing. I believe you’re referring to Ground Pounder. They’re F1’s so they’ll have variations for growers to look through and find which ones they like. For instance I popped 6 seeds of the Ground Pounder to test. Pictured are all six from that pack; labeled as P1, P2, etc. to show the variations in phenotypical expressions I’m finding.

Sorry for the confusion. Those are BA #1 and #3. The grid was originally flipped where BA started from the left. That was when I was able to take pics from the other side of the tote. I can't for the time being so I am taking pics from the opposite side, making BA appear on the right.
This will probably happen again once we flip (soon).

Lmaooooooooooooo
I got it covered brah. I think. Reverse view is ummm 9 lb jabbas crack or something.

(in orange)are doing well enough under my abuse and negligence. Nah just kidding. I just hate soil. Can't wait to take clones off them for hydro. Cinderella is stinking already like what I can only describe as gasoline. A fuel smell to her that I'm loving. Her and the Jabba's Miracles are the only ones smelling so damn good so damn early. I also topped Cinderella, Belle and Pocahontas.
My favorite however continues to be Aurora. With deep serrations, uniformity and just the right height not squat nor stretching staying nicely somewhere in the middle.
Getting ready to bondage my girls then most likely flip them all.

Day 15
BA = Black Abyss
SI = Space Invasion
SI = Space Invasion
GW = God-O-War
A quick check didn't reveal any male parts. Then again it may be too early and we have been somewhat lucky so far to have run almost all female plants, so our experience on sexing plants is limited. These need to be moved to flower soon, probably this weekend.
Full disclosure, for complete transparency - we have some tiny tiny (smaller than fungus gnat) white flying bugs (whiteflies?) on the plants. They just appeared two days ago. The fan won't disturb them. Garage side door is open for ventilation because we're still hitting upper 90s here, so outside air is getting in. They're not super abundant, but annoying nonetheless. May need to hit em with a foliar spray, maybe Plant Therapy. Got some sticky traps and hung them close to the canopy. While adjusting the height on one (because the plants grew a couple of inches taller overnight), one of the traps fell on the Black Abyss. So a few leaves are ripped off
This happened after the pics lol. So part of a sticky trap is now green instead of yellow. Need to put up more sticky traps despite this. I actually watched an itty bitty one fly into the trap, get stuck, flap its wings, and fly off

I'm happy to see they're cruising right along for ya. I'm digging the Disney names you gave them too.

Watching the growth almost in real time from my soil vs. your F&D just isn't fair. lol. You really make me want to convert immediately. The growth speed looks insane compared to what I'm used to in soil. I'm so use to just cruising along through a grow. But you're riding a bullet train. They're looking killer.Day 15

It's kind of funny how the little white fly laughed at your trap and flew away. That would drive me nuts. I'd be planning a mass genocide since he didn't want to play nice. lol

Thanks man! Remember part of this is because of your genetics. What I've noticed in the past few months is that the random dank bagseeds that we've ran, whether in DWC, coco, or soil have mainly been less vigorous and slower to grow. I have a couple of solo cup back up entries in DWC that barely stopped stretching (longest stretch time ever, 12/12 since 7/26 lol). It's strange cuz they're getting a dedicated 600w hps but that's all going to change soon. Damn things really messed up my timeline.
Yours have been a breeze to grow so far. Not finicky. Pretty uniform height and size. And get this - I haven't touched the water in a week and the res is clean. Only thing is a bit if algae in the tray where the roots swim because the light hits that part but Red said he never has issues with that bit of algae. I could leave the totes for at least a week unattended if need be. But I check on em every day cuz I love plants

Get some flying skull z7 enzymes or hygrozyme and that algae will be gone. It also helps break down old roots and feeds them back to the plants. It also works in conjunction with the Bennie Tea. I love the f&d system. Fast, super easy, cheap! I had a timer issue so bought a new one and a replacement for standby and another pump just in case but all in all no issues and smooth. I’m impatiently waiting for my current plants to be done so I can clean and get my phylex beans rocking and rolling!Thanks man! Remember part of this is because of your genetics.

Thanks Tex I will definitely look into that. So it won't kill bennies?
And what's up with timers lately? I've had two fail, and saw some others have failures too. Funny, the harbor freight one has held up longer than a Century lol. They're all the same design too.
