Bagseed x NYCD X Sensi Star

Seeded plants are almost done:
Thunk x White Rhino
F1xP1 03 x White Rhino.
Cuttings of F1xP1 03 doing well
As are the seed plants F1xP1.
Good stuff.

That seeded F1 x P1 03 x White Rhino is wanting to be chopped,
while the thunk x White Rhino is still maturing seeds.
Maybe next week will chop and dry for seeds.
Yay for me.

Pulled a couple seeds from the F1 x P1 03 x WR plant in flower,
tails after an overnight water soak.
Potted into small cups with seedling soil mix.
Early bird gets the yield, lol
That seeded plant will get chopped next week, seeds
processed in the usual manner for long term storage.

I have had some seeded plants drop seeds in the medium and
sprout even before that plant gets chopped, so true.
Crazy stuff, the will to propagate is strong.
Chopped the seeded F1 x P1 03 x WR,
also a F1 x P1 plant that was flowered without back up.
also a F1 x P1 plant that was flowered without back up.
The chopped F1 x P1 03 x WR is drying, many seeds yield.
The other F1 x P1 x WR has seeds, will harvest them for
one off plants. Her terps in flower were sour, no back up kept.
The thunk x WR will get chopped soon, soaked some seeds
pulled from the still potted plant.
The seedlings from F1 x P1 03 x WR are in veg, single leaf
expression per node, will veg after transplant to see if the
plants are worthy to flip.

DC, thanks so much for this thread - such cool info. 
Am inspired by what you've got going on here, especially the ongoing seed-saving & selection experiments in such a small grow-space.
I recently started some white rhino (MSNL), of three seeds 2 sprouted, one was a runt and died young, one showed male. I was going to just cull it, but after reading this thread I've kept some cuttings... am experimenting with a few sativas and am interested to see what kind of offspring they might make with a WR dad.
Btw, I've been meaning to ask, why do you use diatomaceous earth in the base of your pots? I used to use it as a top-dressing to fend off fungus gnats but discontinued as it a) seemed to have no effect and b) was a pain in the ass (watering turned it into concrete mud, dust got everywhere, etc).
Cheers,
AK

The diatomaceous earth is easy to separate from the coco
post harvest. I re use the coco and the diatomaceous earth.
I wear a dust mask when I work with diatomaceous earth,
as the dust can settle in your lungs and in time will make you unhappy.
Some users add the diatomaceous earth to their mix.
In my hempy cups the diatomaceous earth acts as
a wicking agent for the bottom reservoir in the cups,
I don't mix it into my coco as the cation release is different from coco.
The plant roots mostly stop at the diatomaceous earth layer,
and sip from the wet layer as needed.
I moved away from pearlite as was difficult to separate
from the coco and had less to offer all around.
To fend off pests, I pasteurize my medium prior to planting.
No gnats at all since I employ that method, years pest free.

Ah, that makes sense! I was wondering if it was some kind of soilless grow thing. So do you have drainage holes in the base of your cups, or are the bottoms just full of wet DE?
I've had such problems with gnats...
I'm growing in compost + perlite, and foolishly brought a load of unpasturised compost in before xmas. Never again. Combination of nematodes and BTi has got them under control now (fingers crossed....)

With hempy pots a drain hole is drilled just above the
desired reservoir level, in my case about 0.75" from
the bottom of 16 oz cups, there, a reservoir is created
filled with the DE to allow roots to sip nutes between
watering.
As to medium borne pests, I boil my medium,
coco or organic soil for 5-7 minutes, then keep
covered for 20 minutes.
Drain and rinse, pre charge the coco, or add bennies to
the organic mix.
This method takes time and some effort, but is foolproof
way to avoid medium borne pest infiltration.
Chopped the thunk seeded plant, seeded with White Rhino.
67 days since pollinated. Will dry the plant and harvest seeds.
Dry the seeds and pop in a few few weeks.
No seeded plants in flower, done for now.
Flipped a couple F1 x P1 plants, one in veg shows female.
Will take cuttings of that plant and go from there.
F1 x P1 03 x White Rhino plant ready to de seed, lots of seeds to play with.
Her buds are covered in trichs, will sweat in the jar for smoke.
Seedless F1 x P1 03 plant in flower soon to chop, as well as an F2 30 02 plant.
Lemon funk and cherry funk, I'm a lucky guy.
Stoked.

Some of the F1 x P1 plants in flower show grapefruit terps.
Likely the nycd side. At least four phenos. One foxtailed.
Four F2 03 02 doing well, thunk cuttings rooted.
Topped F1 x P1 x White Rhino in veg. Will flip soon.

Ooops.
I mistakenly flipped a couple plants that were for veg/mums.
Almost a month later noticed them in flower instead of veg.
Sigh.
Cut the tops off and moved to the veg box to re veg .
No worries, as the misstep has zero impact on the program.
Stoner distraction compounded with the global fuckery in progress.

Nice to see you still updating, DC
Hope things are going well
Yup.
If I contract the fuck me 19 virus, all the rooted stock will be lost,
as I will quarantine at the house, unable to look after the grow,
which is at a remote locale.
Will take cuttings of plants to hold in stasis to hedge my bets.
All rooted stock culled before the forced lock down,
as I did not want to return to a box full of dead plants.
I’m back, but with limited access to the grow as CCTV records checked daily.
Personally tested as post C*vid infected, antibodied blood drawn to
help with a vaccine. Likely had virus early February, light symptoms.
The plants in flower were chopped a little early and frozen,
since defrosted and drying, fingers crossed.
If no mold will likely go to hashish.
I was able to keep cuttings of the BC 04 and thunk,
rooting three of each as we speak, kept the cuts in baggies since last week.
I will take inventory of seed lots and proceed with the cross project.
Fuck C*vid 19.
