DTOG And MARS HYDRO LED (on a Blue Star S1 Grow Spree)

[DoubleTripleOG]

Been slacking on an update. Males are just about to start dumping pollen. Don't worry about all the jacked up looking leaves. I went a little to far on the dry back, lol. The 3 middle pictures are the indiviual males. Lat pic is the group of Sour BX2 x 4DD females.

Males looking right on!

Pfffft......check this out then. Trich's on males. All 3 of them have trich's. So stoked. Now I can't wait to pop some F3's.

That first one is bulging he's going to bust! Smoke that leaf on a wake n bake and report back!

Here we are at 4 weeks into flower. The Sour BX2 x 4DD , I have 6 females. Of the 6 , 5 are tall and one is super short. Here's the 5 tall ones. The plant to the far right is the Sour BX2 keeper from seeds I popped awhile back. I say keeper, it was the only female in the pack. Pics 1&2 are of her.

Don't know if it's the light fixture or the years of growing. But I had done a major whoopsie. Overfed everything I had in veg. Burnt the shit outta everything. Thought I was gonna lose a few plants. Not the Sour seedlings. But all the other plants I put in the tent to seed. They were jacked up big time.

Now at 4 weeks in. You'd almost never know how bad I jacked them up. I wanna attribute their speedy recovery to the light. As I have never turned plants around so fast. On another note, I was getting super geeked for a min. I thought for a min I was gonna be doing a seedless pheno hunt. The males weren't dumping like I expected. I asked lordofthenugz710 and he said halfway thru week 5 they started dumping. So I'm right on track.

Happy to see that you were able to get them to recover? I honk I know what what you mean by the light saved them but I want to be sure so when that happens to me and I’m sure it will, I know what to do. Are you saying that you quickly went to ac12/12 cycle? Do you have the ability to dim your lights? Do you have a lux meter? I just got a lux meter and I’m taking readings and converting them yo par and that has really helped me knowing at what percentage to use on my dimmer.
Congrats on the recovery and here’s hoping you have clean sailing to the end.

I do not have a light meter. I had one at a previous grow spot. The light saving them, I meant that because it's quality and has good intensity. It helped my plants to recover faster. The light helped them correct the nutrient imbalance I caused.

Here we go !! The males are getting ready to start dumping. They have already dropped a little pollen. And then just now. I squeezed open a couple sacks and hand painted a flower on SJL and SkunkApe.

Man I have to do a better job of reviewing my posts before I post. My last post was a train wreck. This damn iPad and it’s spell check is a mess, constantly changing and respelling words, some of the letters you have to hit several times, substituting words, leaving out words, you put in a couple of letters and it guesses a word and it’s not the right one, it’s a mess. Anyway enough of my bitching.
You’ve got a lot of interesting projects going. It is fun to breed and mix and match different strains. I’m getting some Acapulco Gold seeds from Mass Medical which I got from Great Lakes seed bank. Mass Medical got the seeds from Bodhi with the instructions from Bodhi that he wanted to save the genetics and he wanted people to make seeds from them and pass them around so a valuable strain can live on. I plan to do just that.
A 12-24 week flowering time will give people pause but if it’s anything like what I smoked in the late 70’s it will be well worth the effort.
More than a little bit concerned with how to keep it healthy over a long flower but Mass Medical’s instructions make it look pretty easy. I think they are pretty light feeders. Plan on using big pots with organic soil. We’ll see how it goes. I may do a grow diary in order to get help from the community so I can successfully complete the grow.

MassMedical is a douchebag of the highest order in my opinion. Sure he makes good seeds and is a good grower. So are 10,000 other's making seeds. The following he has on IG. And he uses it to spout mis-information and prop himself up. I don't get down with dudes like that.

This plant isn't in the Mars tent or even under LED for that matter. But I wanted to show it off anyways. This is a revegged seed plant. Flowered it once indoors. Put it outdoors to reveg. It did. I then brought it into my main grow room to finish.

GSour no.4 - lots of ruby red grapefruit smell, and then heavy on the Chem D rankness. Greasy resin with a lot better flower structure than the first run.

Well I didn’t know anything about him. I use Great Lakes Genetics quite a bit and I trust them. I don’t know anything about their past either but they have always treated me very well.
The Acapulco Gold is a strain I’ve always wanted to grow and it was featured on the GLG site. The description said he got the seeds from Bodhi. I don’t know if Bodhi is a good dude or not but I heard an interview he gave on the Potcast on YouTube and he seemed like a straight up guy.
I don’t really get into the whole pot industry cults of personality, soap opera drama anyway. I don’t know these people and there is always two sides to every story and like I said I avoid drama like the plague.
My intention is grow these out, make a big bucket of seeds and pass them around for nothing like Johnny Appleseed. I’m going to encourage the people I give them to to do the same in the hope of keeping a beautiful strain alive and turning people onto a beautiful experience consuming the flowers. If he is as bad as you say he is then I can hopefully make some lemonade out of lemons.

That there ReVerg looks DAF.

Seed tent update. Coming to the 5.5 week mark. Where lordofthenugz710 said his males started dumping. These have been dropping a little pollen. And i've been finger painting buds. By next week heavy duty dusting should have happened. In the meantime. Here's 5 of the 6 Karma Sour BX4 F2 females. First pic and last pic are my fav's. First pic smells like Chaco cut. And the last pic, I just like the way it looks.

 

[DoubleTripleOG]

Now here's the Sour BX2 x 4DD from @peopleunderthestairsgenetics . Each pic is a different female.

 

[DoubleTripleOG]

Lots and lots of male sacks. Not alot of pollen. Tons of sacs I crushed in my fingers. To be empty , no pollen. I think as far as pollen goes with these males. It's like the old wives tale about selfing Sour and there not being pollen/not viable pollen. That seems like the genetic trait that lined up in the BX4 F2 males.

Regardless, there's gonna be seeds. If I have to run another seed batch. To have enough Sour x Sour seeds for everyone that wants them. Then that's what I'll do.

Thanks for doing all the hard work on this project. It will definitely be appreciated by all the growers looking to enjoy the Sour D. Looks like a SOG method would work well. Long top cola. Do growers usually top her several times in order to get her to branch out for better yields or does she not like to be topped?

Whats your take on this last plant pic above? Interesting look to the leaf veins and the tips or the serations.

That depends on someone's grow style. Bushes are usually the way to go. Unless you're running hydro tables with 3" rockwool cubes.
