New part-time thread.

[somoz]

Hi Sleepy, It's funny that you and Agnes are the only ones posting in my thread these days, previous threads have had many visitors, and with numbers here doubling overnight, I'd have expected one or 2 new faces to drop in on a tri thread. It's an easy way to keep track of things, so I will keep posting my progress as long as this site stays up. I guess there aren't too many things you can say though when someone just posts a pic and says here it is, the way I do. It's nice to know I'm not here alone though.

hey gmt: i'm guility of lurkin on ur thread as well. been followin the triune but just haven't posted. i think this is actually me first post in ur thread, so hello sir.

Hi UM
MGJ yeah I really like those 2 so far. The BN in looking a little burned though, I'm using a slightly hotter soil and that doesn't seem too keen on it, but as it's requirements get a little higher, I'm sure it'll come to like it. Yeah the symetry is something I look for, if it's off a little it is more likely to revert to 2pn rather than 3. I have another BB that started out a tri, I think I posted a pic of it side by side with the one above when it was younger, but then it grew a really wierd leaf that was a combination leaf, double leaf stem with almost 2 leaves at the end of it. Really burned by the soil, and has now reverted. I had one do something similar a while back that was a male, but I also had a nice symetric male and so killed him off. Then the nice male didnt drop any pollen, so I'm keeping it around just in case as it has all the good genes, just reverted and got burned, so if its a male we have a condidate, if its a female we have a sacrifice, or smokeable plant, depending. I am loving the BN leaves, really wide compared to the length so far, but yet to try the effect. The bad thing to that cross is that it took 3 times the seeds to find tris, and the cross to the OBOs hasn't given any tris, and I have looked. So I think it's time to do a sideways backcross. The BN to the BB. So I am really putting all my hopes on the reverted tri to be a male now. Fingers crossed.
Hi Somoz, nice to have you join us in public. You know it's called stalking if you don't make yourself known, only Joking mate, welcome to the experiment.

Here's that plant I was talking about
give it a click and check out the leaf on the left.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Yup - that's strange. I'm surprised the leaves on the double are so symmetrical - not deformed.

Keeping my fingers crossed too for that revegged male!

 

[GMT]

Time for an update on that Bruised berry. I reckon another week left on it.

 

[medicaluser420]

Great Job GMT those nugs are looking tasty. Have fun with harvest.My girls are just starting. Best of Luck.

 

[GMT]

Hi Medical,
What flavour are your girls?

Here's what I have just starting out in adult life
(Hopefully Female), Bruised nuts on the left and on the right , MALE Bruised berry


Oh yes, they are both Tri's.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Hiya GMT

Nice tri youngin's - very cute - and props on the Bruised Berry, looks berry-licious!

 

[GMT]

Hi MGJ
I have been taking early cuts from that adult bruisedbery, hence the hacked bud on the left, but I had a spot of early bud rot on a tri obo and had to take that out at 4-5 weeks or so, so now I can leave that BB to ripen out properly without interferance. The tri's are doing well though, I have a cut from the tri obo, and fingers are still crossed on the BN to be a girl, still looks like the tri BB is a boy, so it's all looking up.

G's house of horros!

Glad you're keeping on with the research mate :wink:

Now as far as I know you use minimal to no ferts right? I'm not really getting on with any indicas! The indi doms always show strong signs of various defficiencys. I stick em in the same pre ferted soil (nothing fancy, potting soil from the local B&Qs type store) everything else goes in and then see how they get on. By the 2-3rd week of flowering there generally not looking all that happy no matter what I try

Any ideas??

Not having any problems whatsoever with my sativas. I thought everyone said that indicas are harder to grow?!

 

[GMT]

Hehe, anomolies do occur, I like to watch them, until they become boring, and then they are no longer needed. That is currently on death row, if it doesn't impress me this week, it will be lost in the cull. The experiments continue though, with ma and par shown above. TrixTri has to = Mini Tris surely. Or at least more of them.
Yeah I don't use any nutes at all, although I do adjust the PH of the water a couple of times.
Having seen how most plants do in your setup Alex, I will assume that you are playing with finicky indicas. Which plants are you playing with? It's difficult to know what is going wrong with them, but 9 times out of ten I'd say it's down to someone adding something that throws the whole balance off, resulting in all sorts of deficiencies.
The easiest way of keeping a nice balance that I have found is not to add anything. Drop a pic in here of your most indica dom plant to date, lets see what you're talking about.

 

[GMT]

Ah the horor and carnage of harvest day.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Ahhh horror and carnage away MATEY!!! Congrats on bringing in another harvest! I have a similar day coming up in a week or so, can't wait to take my cutlass to 'em arrggghhh

 

[GMT]

LMAO MGJ

Obo pics at harvest.



Tri Bruised Nuts

Male Tri Bruised Berry

From the side

 

[GMT]

The bruised nuts is also a male.
Reall pisser.
I have a cut of a tri obo, but it's not a tri cut. And the mother plant was breed and didn't pass on her triness. Perhaps a tri father will change that, but at the top of the tri Bruised Berrry, the nodes started to alternate as it hit flowering, which I dont like, and the bruised nuts isnt doing that, so I'd rather use him as my tri father, but I'm thinking of trying to delay him a bit with some longer hours of light.
Needless to say the wet paper towels are in use again, and I'll be looking for tri seedlings in about 7 days.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

GMT - a they say on this side of the pond - oh nutz... The wet towel treatment - one of these runs you'll find what you're looking for!

Man, that obo really looks tasty!!!

 

[GMT]

Hi MGJ, I had plenty of fun and games with getting that particular non tri obo to root, and now you know, I have to be honest and say that one isn't that tasty. Not sure whether to keep the cut or not yet. Well pollen from the tri bb has been used on the revegging (now flowering) non tri cut from the tri obo. Not sure if it will take due to the wierd timing for the obo girl. The male tri bn is still developing, not sure what to do there. I have another plant yet to sex of something else, that should sex in 2-3 weeks, it is suitable for crossing with the tri bn male, but that relies on it being a girl, and him dropping pollen. Updates as they happen.

tri bruised berry male

His pollen has now been collected, and it is time for him to say goodbye.
His pollen was sprinkled upon a well rooted cut from a tri obo, although the cut isn't to tri, and an amount of pollent has been saved, just in case. Here is that cut from the tri obo, it was taken in flower and then taken from that plant as it went into flowering, so there are plenty of hairs already, and hopefully there will be more soon, with a few seeds of good genes.

Now the tri bruised nuts male, the fella I want to keep around, he's is really nice, but quite heavily showing flower, so I took a cut from his main stem and a side branch. He is still in flowering and I am hoping that I can get a cut rooted and reverted to vegging for when he is needed.


Now this is one of the targets for the tri BN fella, providing she's a girl.

If not, I hope I can either collect his pollen and store it for (or use one of the cuts on a cut of the best out of) 2 new tri bruisedberry plants just born, or one of the other tri bruised nuts yet to be born (fingers crossed).

 

[GMT]

Same plants today, Still not sexed the target plant (bottom left - topped twice), the chosen tri male has now started to drop pollen, and I've started to collect it. The cut I took from the top of the tri male, well, developed a little white fluff seemingly growing between it and the wet soil, so he's now in new damp soil with a dome, but not looking good.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

They're really filling out nicely, that obo was only topped twice? Yowza, it looks like you've done lst, really thickened up!

Man, I just hate molds - always make for more work... Hope the soil change does the trick.
