Diary Karma Genetics Tester - Black Domina x Zizi

[Brother Nature]

First off, thanks to Karma for this opportunity, Black Domina and her crosses are some of my favorite plants, so I am very grateful to get the opportunity to grow these out.

Received the seeds about 2 weeks ago, had a bout of covid and then the holidays hit so didn't get a chance to start them until last night.

Have planted 12/12. 6 seeds were soaked overnight in a glass of water then planted, the other 6 were planted directly into the seed mix. Nothing has popped yet, but it's only been about 20 hours since going in. Pretty boring photos so far so have added my current tent in for fun. Currently running 4x c99 (kwik seeds), 2-3x a99 (c99 x Afghaan 90), 2x Peak c99's (f7's bread by @StickyBandit ), one golfball (flowering back left), and one Gelato x Wedding cake (the flowering bud in rear-right corner).

Hope to have some decent updates in a week or two for you peeps.

Thanks for your post friend. This should be a super good one. I'm going to ride with you for a while.

Within 3 days, 10 of 12 seeds have popped. Looks like an 11th will be up soon too and I'm sure the 12th will also arise in the next day or two.

This run has me quite excited so I've popped another black domina cross I have, (Phantom cookies x Black Domina) x unknown strain, ran a couple seeds of her last run and was very impressed with the final smoke so will run her again.

New years report.

All 12/12 seeds have popped and are looking nice and healthy. Have up-potted them from the propagation trays to larger containers.

Half

Other 5 amongst the Sour Diesel cuts

And the last one, still in the tray as it took a little longer to pop than the rest.

Update...

Have had a lot of heat and humidity over the last few weeks, veg room wasn't cutting it so have moved them into a better temperature controlled tent. They're now under a cmh as well. Lost 2 of the seedlings due to carelessness when transplanting, stupidly dropped one and snapped the stem and the second i planted a bit too deep and when tamping down the soil I also snapped it's stem.... d'oh...

Otherwise they're looking happy and chugging a long, hey did stretch more than I would have liked, but it had been very warm and humid in their old veg spot. Stem growth is nice and thick though so I'm sure it'll be fine.

 

[blondie]

If you haven’t tossed the plants yet try burying them past the point where the stem snapped. I’ve seen plants make it with a snap, not a total break.

 

[Brother Nature]

They both wilted overnight, so are fully dead... Was a good reminder to be a bit more onto it though..

 

[Brother Nature]

So I had an update today, but i appears photo uploads are not working currently.

So far all 10 are vegging well, all growing at about the same rate, most have the classic opposing nodes o the stem, two have started growing their nodes in a triangular pattern. Leaves are chubby indica-leaning hybrid looking so far, nothing thin.

I have 2 favorites so far, both very classic, bushy indica looking growth pattern.

I'll update with photos once I can.

 

[Brother Nature]

Cool, can upload again now.

The whole tent has gone very vigorous in the last couple days. Don't have a ton of time to add a detailed post, but here's the tent now.

Things have been growing very well lately, so far have had 3 females and 2 males show their pre-flowers, so have about 5 still waiting to see. They've grown pretty consistently, good solid stems, fat leaves, good side branching, decent growth rate, but not stretchy.

The whole tent, contains Sour Diesel and another Black Domina cross that is unrelated.

Female Plant 1 -

Female 2 -

Female 3, needs an up pot very soon...

The rest of them (party cup plants are another cross), should hopefully show their sex soon...

 

[Brother Nature]

Here's a real funky growing plant. The stem has looped itself around, yet has still survived this long. I haven't seen a plant produce a looped stem and still grow well after so that's pretty cool. Sadly the plant has a funny growth pattern, but I'm hoping it's a female, most plants I've grown out that have been funky have turned out the funk so I always try to get the funky ones to completion.

 

[Brother Nature]

All plants have expressed their sex now. I got a perfect 50% m/f ratio. 5 females and 5 males of the 10 seeds that made it. I'm liking the growth rates so far, very bushy structure, most look more indica than anything.

First 3, in smaller pots, will be uppotting today now I know what they are.

 

[Brother Nature]

Next up are my two favorites from the females. They showed sex earlier so have been moved to larger pots about a week ago, great growth rates, one is more hybrid looking

and the other more indica leaning.

 

[Brother Nature]

Apologies for the delay in postings, life has recently thrown some lemons so has been hard to get the time to properly review this grow.

Have put the first 2 in flower in the LED tent. One is much more indica leaning, looks a lot more Black Domina dominant... The second looks more Zkittles, very hybrid looking. Very little stretch on both plants, the more hybrid looking one was about 0.5x the stretch, the indica girl stretched little if at all.

The other 3 are still in the veg tent, which will be flipped to flower this weekend. Need to thin out some of the other plants in there before taking photos, too hard to tell what is what currently, aside from the labeling.

So I've had a very unfortunate run with these, they did not end up well, no fault of Karma or the seeds though. I had a family member pass away in late March so I had to be overseas for a few weeks in April, getting that organized didn't leave a lot of time for plant care and while away I had to get someone else to look after the watering and feeding. Not sure what happened but they didn't do a good job and the plants fell into a bit of a funk, The led plants were way worse off than the CMH plants though. I've managed to save them from death but they aren't pretty to look at so I haven't been documenting them. The CMH plants still have a few weeks to go and aside from stretching like a mofo I was able to recover them a bit better, Ill post photos of them when lights are back on later.

Apologies to @Karma G I really wanted to do a better job of these, I'm going to try to reveg these and have another go as I see a lot of potential in these girls.

Here are the LED plants at dead on week 8, I will be taking them down today sadly as the leaf necrosis on the bad one is starting to cause mold. They do actually smell great apart from the lower yield and sad looking leaves though....

 

[b8man]

Bad luck. Those kinds of life emergencies can’t be avoided - you did well keeping them alive. They really don’t look all that bad.

Still interested in a smoke report to see if they inherited the black domina high.

 

[Brother Nature]

Yeah, after a pre-trim, they don't look so bad on the drying rack. The buds are very thick and heavy, I'd say they'll be close to 2oz per plant. Smells are great too, both very fruity, one more orange leaning and one more berry leaning. They look like they will be great smoke too.
