lol... 
I think I need a new camera for that... lol.. If I get too close, my camera is such a cheapy it just goes blury... Frustrates the heck out'of me sometimes... 
Wish's for: * A KICKass Camera* ... maybe for christmas?

Yeah, it's just I had nothing better to do, and they caught my eye. The Gene certainly isn't dominant, and dissapears more than appears still in this line. It's a hard one to stabalise really, and I can't claim a 50% raise on yields either. It was luck that I got one at all to start with, but have always breed from them and others would appear, so I started chasing them, and here we are.

nice plants and pics 
Leeroy, thanks mate,
Doc, Great thanks mate, I realise that you have other priorities at your end, and I was suprised at first that you got any at all, but then I remembered how many seeds you go through, lol. Mine originated in a blueberry and I have read of others getting them from there or there abouts. Which plants do you find them in? What do you find on yeilds with them compared to normals? What about the 12/12 stretch on them compared to? Aren't you switching to clones? Will this hamper your search and my wait? So far I've been searching for and crossing tris with the offspring of tris. But I havent done much backcrossing to the same tri plants clone decendants. My theory was that the more separate tri dna histories for chaos to choose between, the greater the chance of a stable tri line developing, but I'm now wondering what the effect of saturating the gene pool with the same plant's dna would be. It seems like a bit of a cop out somehow, but it's my best option I think. Any thoughts? Or anyone on that one.

I'm going to have to move soon...no more after the BubbleDust, till I move...Hopefully I can veg the clone BD Medusa until mid August..I think I'll be moving between the Oct to end of Nov....Dammit I could grow up to 5 plants and still a misdemeaner here...I think they fry you for anything where I'm moving to...That said, maybe we can chat after I complete the move... 
Well I hope you get a good price for your freedoms Pack.
Alex Hope those blackberries turn out well for ya.
Well, I had a spot of bad luck with the tri. I didn't lower the PH and due to each of the top 3 colas getting very fat, the centres molded up.
I took the other buds and left the mid colas with the trim for the trash. (hark me, trash,) Oh well it was only a taster plant, and now I know how it grows, I wont make that mistake with the cuts.
I did get to keep this though

This time of year i have my nose in my room searching for mold, i swear i can smell it!
I go through and smell as many of the largest buds that i can, if they dont have it then my littles ones dont either...
A moldy bud will smell very heavy smell, with a deep musky aroma...
Make sure to dry those buds quickly dont let that mold grow and take hold either.

I found it by touch. Rather than being soild, the 2 largest buds had a lot of give in them and felt warmer than the smaller ones. I took the whole plant out to check trichs, and found that. (the trichs were about 60% cloudy at 63 days). Anything with any mold is gone. Any bud growing within an inch of mold is gone. The rest are sliced and diced into little buds to help them dry quicker. I could see the conditions developing for the mold, and yet still failed to take steps to avoid it. I just feel embarrassed about it really. What a mistake to make.
Wait till Pack sees his god daughter all moldy, I'm gonna be in trouble.
Thanks for the support fellas.

By touch! Props to your attention to details. Catching it so early saved a lot of bud. You mentioned that you didn't lower the pH - how does pH relate to mold conditions?
Side tangent - I hadn't paid much attention to humidity around here. Rainy season is in the winter so I assumed that would be high humidity, during the dry season I thought it would always be low.
Wrong assumptions - Here it is end of July and my humidity is sitting at 65% outside, a 50 pt / day dehumidifier in the grow area only brings it down 4-5%. I'm glad I picked an airy bud plant for the first grow - last thing I needed was an interesting case of mold 
Gonna have to figure something to do about it before I grow out some large dense cola indicas.

Lol MGJ, yeah mate, its late July here too
Sorry, couldn't resist, and need to cheer myself up.
I've been busy in the garden today. Tri as you know is harvested. Clone of tri ( the first) also dead now. Killed due to the second clone having nice roots. So that's been repotted and is still in reveg. OTS is harvested, pics once I move em from cam to PC. OTS is also destined for a reveg, and so while I took the top, I also took most of the roots, leaving 2 fan leaves and some bud.
I had an Offtopicus growing which I was hoping would be my breeding male. topped into 2 growing tops, one Quad leaf formation,this was taken as a clone, Started as 2p/n, moved to 3p/n and now 4. The 4 p/n will turn into 2 2p/n's heads and then repeat. The remaining top is tri and both will be moved into re-veg as she's a girl. Will have to see if the clone takes and then which I will keep if not both. Her mom/self is still growing just in case the clone fails. And to be honest she's really drooping, so I sprayed her down with water and will steem/mist tomorrow.
Now back to the q's. When growing large colas, from practice I have found that lowering the PH levels has 2 effects. The cola wont mold, (so long as your not relying soley on that) and the taste will seem sweeter. The taste thing doesn't work on spicey flavours but does on fruity ones.
Fans and air flow are a big DO whereas quieter cabs with less airflow (like mine the last month or so,) are donts. Also the warmer the air the less dense it is and so the less moisture it can hold in any given space, meaning that your plant cannot get rid of the moisture it needs to leaving it sitting in the bud. Topping lots of times therby effectively starting supercropping will reduce the size of the individual buds reducing the likelyhood of mold developing. Growing a nice plant, then taking the top off it, forcing all the goodness into 3 main colas and 3 lower buds, getting lazy on the fan situation, increasing humidity in the room outside the cab in an attempt to reduce ambient temperature a few times during the flowering stage are all NO's. Damn I wish I read my post last month, these are great tips.

Hope you're cheered up! 
Thanks for explaining the low pH - all through flowering or the last few weeks only? Man, I have to figure how to amend the soil I use - 7+ pH when I test it now - would have to water with pH 3 to get them to mid 5s . Folks around here use ammonium sulfate to blue up hydrangeas, maybe I'll give the next batch a little in veg and see how the soil goes.
Thanks for the great info! Mold avoidance tips are priceless!

Not necessary mate. By lowering the PH, listen to an imaginary yet typical run start to finnish. Plant in normal compost (tomato stuff is nice) and water from the tap until repot. Then water from tap + one feed of miracle grow. Next water at ph 6. Then water from tap. 3 Weeks later again water at 6. Then tap. 3 weeks from harvest water at ph 6 every time. Then last week normal again. Last 3 days no water. Last 2 no heat. Last 12 hours dark. Hang. Providing nothing changes the plan. I mean I dont do it by the calendar or anything. Certainly dont water at ph3 or you'll desolve the roots. I made that last one up but it can't be good. I know you wouldn't bother watering with battery acid, but just to make it clear to other readers.
I've never tested my soil, I figure buying a bag that worked before will work again and dont think about it again.
Yeah, I'm cheered up now.
I'm thinking about planting and that helps too. Also looking at the ots in re-veg thinking, "I may kill you and maybe plant your brother" I'm defo planting an H seed to try and breed tri with a sibling. See what else falls into sight at the time.

Thanks gmt - that makes sense. Just out of curiosity, what's your pH out of the tap?
OTS reveg -
. Good luck on your search for a mate for tri...
