Big Devil pheno hunt.

[zalias]

Hy growers, smokers and talkers every one! I want to share a fun adventure in my autoflower world.
The goal was to find the tallest and longest flowering plant and use it for further breeding and selection in our climate zone. For that was chosen Spanish well known to all seed producer Sweet Seeds, and their auto line Big Devil XL .
The project tool… Grow media coco
Fert. G.H. - coco line
G.H. Ph down
In addition, a root stimulator was used for the first two weeks .
Watering by hand.
Method of cultivation - greenhouse. Direct sun 8 hr. Grow stage watering initially once a day, in bloom two times. Daily check list- bugs, nutrient definition, air flow, temperature of media, greenhouse air and feeding solutions. No special care for air humidity! One industrial fan for air circulating in greenhouse. At the beginning of the evening two 600w hps lamps where used to provide 24 hours of lighting for first 2 months of life. An additional gas heater that raised the temperature at night and enriched the g.h. with carbon dioxide.

From 80 plants was selected 2,(Plant A) first one bit taller and wider structure flowering time about 138 days, (Plant B)second one shorter, compact structure reminded me jack herrer by smell and lief structure.Flowering time about the same.
First pictures are (Plant A) and next to it regular same family plant.

Funny calyxi buds, some of them are mad in trichom production,depend on plant.

Height of selected plants about 160-170 cm. Last pic. with exact measurements. Plant (A) botum braces after sexying being sprayed with c.s. solution.
P.s. sorry for images being up side down trying to figure out how to fix it.

I'm guessing you're uploading directly from your phone? For security Icmag automatically strips the meta data from the image that may include what type of device, time, date, location. On modern phones, orientation is included in this data.

I get around this by cropping my photos ever so slightly on my phone before uploading. I'm not really sure what this changes but it works. There are probably some other solutions, there has been at least 1 or 2 threads on this but of course I can't find them using the search.

Nice buds by the way!

crop the pictures with paint, that worked me to prevent rotation.

Thank you very much for helpfull answer !!!
Trying to finish the thread....))) The lowest branches start giving dust.
Time to isolate the girls.

I do my best, but images still bitching ))) Sorry everyone.
About 70% of plants are the same 25% is slightly different on phenotype and only 5% completely other characteristics in general.
I would say good job was done by seed breeders.

Good work Zalias. They must have put a hole in your pocket....

Few pictures of waiting ladies and our landrace sativa rudelaris (autoflower).

 

[HalfArsedFarmer]

What's the landrace sativa that you're making the seeds with Zalias?

 

[zalias]

Hi HAF ,misunderstood me that landrace is pure line used as tool in our projects to give a cross autoflower trades pest and mold resistant. showing nice results in cross with indica dominant clone only strains. All dust are from BD used in completely different lines.
