Landrace Warden, Purple Gilgit Seed Grow

[Roots&Fruits]

Greetings! I've germinated 5 regular seeds of Gilgit Purple courtesy of Landrace Warden and the December 2024 ICMag Christmas contest, promised I'd post, so here goes.
Seed grow will be grown indoors, selecting for this year's outdoor grow, balcony and in the ground.
Soaked seeds in spring water with Rhizotonic (4mL per liter), all 5 germinated within 72 hours, seedling 3 and seedling 1 germinated in 48 hours. Worth noting, seedling 1 is showing green/purple cotyledons.
They're under a T5-HO, 4ft.. X 4 tubes fixture in my bathtub for a few days until I have space in my propagator tent where they'll be under LED'S. The tub makes a great reflector and it's the only space for now.
After the propagator tent they'll go into a 4X4 tent under LED'S to veg, then into a 12ft. X 12ft. X 8ft. room to bloom under hps.

Thanks for posting friend. Good luck.

Still early days for these seedlings, I've placed them in my propagator tent under a Viparspectra P2000, dimmed to 25%

A quick update, transplanted today into half gallon pots of ProMix HP.

 

[Roots&Fruits]

Seedlings moved into my closet (7ft. X 32" X 8ft., lighting is two P2000 Viparspectra LED fixtures currently dimmed to 50%, approximately 32" above the canopy) with my other seedlings, 8 Afghan Haze (regulars from Mr. Nice Seeds), 4 Early Skunk also regulars from Mr. Nice seeds. A small Shark Shock plant, best of 7 phenos from MNS regular seeds. And 2 Texada Timewarp feminized seedlings from Next Generation Seeds. I also have a Pink Kush plant, all of these strains will be pollinated (hopefully) by a Gilgit male.
Setting up another tent today, third major snowfall in 4 days and I need something to do.
There's also 4 Chocolate Habanero seedlings, gotta think 'hot' on this snowy day.

15 Days Since Germination

Gilgit Purple's looking good!
I moved them again, this time into a 4X4 tent under a 1K MH. Yes, I move things around frequently here, so far these seedlings have seen T5 fluorescents, LEDS and now a blue spectrum metal halide.
I'm going to transplant the Gilgits into #3 size nursery pots later today, same size pots as the 2 Afghan Haze sitting in the tent now.

 

[Roots&Fruits]

Tent has an air cooled reflector, exhausted directly into my living space to keep me warm, the 1K Eye Hortilux metal halide has a blue spectrum. I've filtered the blue out with Photoshop to compare.

22 Days since germination

Plants are doing great under the blue metal halide. Transplanted into 3 gallon pots of ProMix HP on Feb.24, feeding Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect 3 part. The 5 Purple Gilgit now share the tent with 8 Afghan Haze, and 1 Early Skunk from Mr. Nice Seeds, all regular seeds in this tent. In about a week we'll begin bloom, I'd like to veg longer but want to finish the Afghan Haze's mid-late May, last indoor bloom before the summer heat.
I'm really liking the looks of Gilgit 4, third plant, front row, left to right.
Afghan Haze are the 4 plants on the left, and 4 on the right. Early Skunk is front row, second plant from the left.
Gilgit 2 & 3 are taller than the other 3, all have stems as thick as pencil's.

I did the Gilgit Purple outdoors last summer. It was a great plant.

I also did Landrace Warden’s Family Heirloom. It also turned purple the last few weeks in flower. Zero bud rot in October in the Northeast.

Very nice looking plant outdoors, notice stems are thin, but holding up all the branches! How many plants did you have?
How was the smoke? What terpenes and flavors? Any skunky scents? Any powdery mildew or bud rot?
Sorry, lotsa questions, just planning for outdoors, thanks.

 

[sdoyle]

I planted 2 each of the Gilgit Purple and Family Heirloom. I got one male and one female from each. Both plants smelled of floor stripper and pine to me. I`m not the best with describing smells, but that`s what came to mind. There was no PM or bud rot from either plant and I took them down in late October in the Northeast. The high was a good, relaxing high in both body and mind.

35 Days Since Germination
Bloom Day 9

Bloom phase began March 6, and by March 12 three males showed themselves.
Gilgit 3, 4 and 5 are males, ranging from tall to shortest plant of the 5.
I kept a cutting of Gilgit 4 to make seeds next round. I have 8 Afghan Haze females, regular seeds I'm pheno hunting with now to pollinate. Also pollinate the two Gilgit females, a Pink Kush that I really like and a heavy yielding, very resiny Shark Shock.
