Is that a hint of the D's variegation? Pretty lady, as always!

Giving a few of these a try. First tail showing after 36 hours wet with several months in the freezer and shipping prior to that. Excited for some electric ladies.
@Ralph W. Llama good luck with those. I almost purchased the seedsman hz x c99 when breeders retail had a sale but picked something else. I regret not picking them up and a few other things for that matter. I'm hoping crazy Karl rides into town with a cart full of seeds to peddle.
So cool that it's such a 'sticky' trait.
incense haze x chemd about 1 month flowering. the plant is building buds quickly now and has a eucalyptus type smell atm. It's still early but I get a sense that this plant shares the terps from the maternal side as they resemble other haze crosses I've grown using this IH mom. the plant is in a 3gal container but i may still have to top dress in next couple days to help her finish...she's a hungry plant but if i can keep up she will yield big.

Funk yea! Pretty nice spacing between the internodes. And what space there is, is filled up pretty completely with flower development.
I see a layer of rice hulls at the top of the pot. Do you also use them for aeration in your medium? And while I’m prying, what does your medium consist of? (Apologize if you’ve already covered that in the thread)
Whatever you’ve got going on certainly has ‘em looking happy!
Thanks for sharing Jah

Thanks @swampthing. I use recycled soil which i amend with compost from our compost bin. I have a couple a large totes and when they are about 3/4 full I add: alfalfa, kelp, guano, fish bone meal, feather meal, ewc, dolomite lime, perlite, and greensand along with our compost. Turn it, wet it down with aerated compost tea and let it sit for 45-60 days. I turn a few times during that time and try to keep moist adding either most compost tea or RO water. I have 3 of those large bins so i always have on ready. Thats it really. I haven't had to buy bagged soil in some time but if i do i try and get something like ocean forest or a blend from coast of maine.
I typically use perlite for aeration but this year when i was making one of the bins the local store was out of perlite and i picked up the rice hulls. I have been using them as a mulch because our air is really dry this time of year and i wanted a top layer i could dump into the recycled soil when done. It seems like its another place to colonize beneficial microorganisms in the soil so win win.
Ps...when i build my containers I'll add a 4-4-4 fert and top dress with some additional alfalfa, ewc and kelp before i mulch the top layer. Not much just like 1/2 tsp per gallon of the ready soil.

a complementary cross if ever there was one .......should be some lovely phenos to be found
purple x chemd bx plant #1 at 21 days 12/12. this plant was the slowest of the 3 chemd bx i grew out. The haze cross was the quickest followed by pcd#2 and this plant stayed in veg the longest. She seemed immature even though she was the first to show sex. My patience paid off because once she started to stretch she focused her energy on the two apical branches unlike the pcd#2 that threw spindly branches from the bottom and caught up to the main stems. It will be interesting to see how the flowers will develop as they look different than her sister pcd#2 and her chunkier flower set.
pcd#1
pcd#1
purple x chemd bx #2 day 30 12/12. This plant got chunky really quick! I wasn't a fan of the lanky and spindly nature of her side branching but she has redeemed herself with impressive bud formation early on. This may be the quicker of the two pcd's but may also produce the bigger flower set. This is at day 30 so just 4 weeks in and if she goes 8 weeks and I can keep her happy she will be super chunky. She has a sweet fruity smell atm and was the only pcd to show leaf variegation. I gave her some kelp, guano, ewc (just a tsp total) and some fresh compost top dress after pictures were taken to help finish and hopefully keep her swelling.

Wow, all looking impeccable as usual. Beautiful work

Feeling lucky after a 3 day power outage with temps dropping to the single digits F and no loss of seedlings. The 5 all popped and were just getting stood up when the electric shut down.
The basement got foam insulation last year and with just a furnace pilot light on, it stayed in the 50’s. The three days of darkness didn’t seem to compromise any of them either. Rolling along fine now.
Phewww.

When I saw that cross, I would’ve assumed the opposite @Ralph W. Llama I’ve found hazes really throw their weight around in crosses. I’m not sure if it’s bc their traits are so different than most hybrids today so the new genetics really show off their wares (NLD, more internode spacing, and much longer flowering time). Not necessarily bc they’re dominant but bc the traits are so apparently different. @VerdantGreen do you find using S1 pollen breeds more true than say a male’s pollen? Just generally speaking, not taking into account if it’s an F1 or F5 bred true for certain traits or an ibl that really breeds true.
Is that phrased right? Or would you say R1/reversed pollen when it’s a Chem D female reversed and used on a strain that isn’t itself?
Sorry, basically just asking if making fem seeds from a female that’s reversed, even if you outcross them to a new line, breed more true than using a regular male plant.
Nice job @Jahaze still looking happy and healthy as ever

Hey swamp,
Not sure what I said about this? But as with many things, “it depends” probably applies to your end question.
