Higher Power Genetics

[DET—PDX]

This is sleeve of Wizard getting after it outside. I’ll do a controlled cross with this guy outside (he’s the only outdoor dude) but it’s looking like I’ll be using an ethanol 85 x FC male for the greenhouses and shed.

Day 38 for my April F1's(Galactic Runtz BL, 5.19 BR & FL, SuperCharger FR) and it's looking like I pulled a really nice pheno of GRuntZ.
My 5.19's and smallish Supercharger are chugging right along and happy.

 

[Zaphod420]

Got 6 new beans wet 5 days ago, 2 Apple Fritter X Dilly Bars(ML), 2 Budderton's Sherb Breath X NYC #2(C), & 2 Heisen Mystery Stardawg crosses floor beans(MR) & all but 1 of Budderton's Sherb Breath X NYC #2(1 No Showed) are up & at em. Once I get GMO X FC & BHP out of the big tent I plan on sending a really nice cut of Galactic RuntZ(FR) & Heisen's Purple Crash(FL) to take their place & have a good old fashion CHUNK OFF!

 

[Zaphod420]

Day 48 for my Genetically Modified Funeral Cake & Banana Hashplant & I am going to be taking these girls down soon(probably Wed) as they are pretty much done. All this hot weather turbo charged their fade and man do they stink! GMO X FC has WAY more gas on her this time.

Got the girls picked for the run went in to flower on the 14th, took multiple clones just in case I find something special. I will post some update pics soon. I transplanted topped and flipped them.. didn't skip a beat filling in the space so far great plants..

i'am really starting to see the clones as a added value time wise

 

[Dalton]

I took the clones 7/10 about 75% showing roots already..In the tent are the ladies that didn't make this round couldn't take cuts from them as of then
I will be soon, started some more regs also to keep the hunt going but their not Higher Power Genetics.. ( they are Ocean Grown Seeds- Jawa Pie, Sunken Treasure Seeds- Gorilla-Cookies-Purp- and TopDawg- Garlic-DNL ) My HPG ladies are doing great so far like I said didn't skip a beat and should fill in nice... in the flower room I have ( Apples & Bananas, Scooby Snacks, 5.19, Black Cherry Soda crosses with Funeral Cake and a (GPS) Fritter Cookie..

I’ve been known to eff some chit the eff up.

So outta the 10 Super Chargers an the 5 Apples and Bananas this is what survived.

I had a similar issue the last time I cracked beans. I attribute it to the soil. I bought some cheap soil from Tractor Supply. It said it was “raised bed soil,” whatever that means. It was amended - didn’t need fertilizer for 3 months or something like that. I sifted out all of the big stuff, and mixed it 50/50 with coco. Most beans broke the surface, but keeled over within a couple of days. I really feel terrible about treating @DET—PDX’s gear this way. My inclination was to keep it to myself, but finally decided that breeders couldn’t have too much information.

I had two freebie OG Kush fems I got from somewhere, so I started them in straight coco, a method I’ve had success with.

They’re kicking ass. So I figured I’d try again.

48 hours later.

I have them in coco now. Wish me luck.

Last time I checked, I had 1 King's Juice female.
2 x 519 males and 2 x Forbidden Fruit are suspected males by their growth structures.
I might let them go ahead and produce pollen for future breeding.

 

[DET—PDX]

@Badddoin no worries it’s all part of the learning process. You learned your lesson, we’ve all done that. I tried to start seeds in heavy soil a year ago and lost some expensive beans myself.

Good luck @Badddoin

@NoWaistedSpace some of these plants you need to keep a eye on a short close node can be male , strechers can be the girls.

50 years of this, there are nuances that show me early on.
They turned out all 4 are males as I suspected.
I am usually 90% right. It's years of doing this that I developed these tricks.
One way you can tell is let the plants dry out and the males will begin wilting first because of the their smaller root system. Not always, but most of the time. It's harder for a female to wilt because it builds more root structure early on.

 

[NoWaistedSpace]

Also, the "stipules" will cross on a pre flower female.
There will be a tiny white dot form on a male
and a female will have a green dot the size of the head of a pin.
Only thing I can figure is females have more chlorophyll being pushed to the bract.
They are harder than hell to see when they are that small.

~patiently impatiently waits to run some~

 

[NoWaistedSpace]

Notice how the stipule part of the "axil/node" points toward
the main stem? (female) The bract will have a green speck
to a finger shape. It's barely visible at this point.
The stipules will try and point toward each other along the main stem.



On a male, the stipule points out
and away from the main stem.
The bract will be a yellowish white speck. Much easier to tell a male than a female bract at this stage.
(Note) This is Old Timer Science,
not Gen Z science. lol
Try this technique to estimate early sex of a plant.
There's plenty of other early signs of plant sex besides the ones I've quoted.
Now, there will be plants that try and grow a tiny top in the bract area.
Not sure why this happens. I've never seen it on my older genetics, just the newer genetics.
Is it a sign of "hermi" ancestry, I don't know.
Some just say the plant is healthy, but that makes no sense to me.
Someone needs to break out their "science book" that explains this phenomena.
I'll stick to my belief system until proven otherwise. lol

This one is already maturing, it's staggering the nodes. I'm talking earlier in the growth stage
than this one. The speck will push the stipule out away from the stem before it shifts and starts staggering.
I wished I had one to show you at the very beginning of the speck forming.
I don't want to confuse you on my explanation.
I'll see if I can find one to show you.

I get what you are saying. Just showing though the stipules aren't always a tell all sign. The way I see it....a plant will show sex once it's mature enough regardless of flowering or not. Once a plant shows alternating nodes instead of parallel, that's usually when you can sex the plants.
