Pheno Hunt/Test Run 2x4

[Doctor Doob]

I am going to be doing a small pheno hunt on some crosses I did, so that I can find some mom plants on the crosses I made and already tested. Then also testing out the ones I haven't yet.
I am starting over from scratch I was forced to stop growing a few years back but now I am ready to start again.
The seeds I am attempting to sprout are:

Garlic Breath x Garlic Breath
Desconocida Kush x Garlic Breath
Delhi Friend x Garlic Breath
Montana Silvertip x Garlic Breath
Platinum Animal Cookies x Garlic Breath
Orange Cookies x Garlic Breath
And a few bag seeds...

Also I am attempting to save ATF, I have some seeds (About 50) and have been just doing one at a time trying to germinate them but not having much luck
So anyways, for now I will be trying to get around 50 seeds to sprout, then I will start weeding through them and getting rid of the males and undesirable ones to work it down to basically just find a keeper mother of each variety and to see if those which will stick around.
For now I had 23 crack and put in solo cups in some Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Maybe 10 have broke ground. They are on my desk under my LED desk light for a couple days. I have to dig my grow tents and lights out of my storage. And once these babies all sprout I will update you all!

I guess I didn't realize how much has changed since I quit growing. I went to go get soil at my old regular spot, they moved, the building was empty lol.... Go to the new location, they have no soil... Call the nearest store and the guy says "Yeah we have it, but we actually bought up all of another stores inventory as they were going out of business, so we have Fox Farm, but it is old it's from 2020". I eventually found some so on with the show!

Sounds like you’ve got a really exciting project going! It’s great that you’re back to growing and already getting some seeds to crack. Can’t wait to see how your pheno hunt turns out—best of luck with those ATF seeds too!

Thanks! Appreciate you stopping in... I am praying the ATF gives me at least one to work with. It is some of the best smoke ever and knocks you down even if you don't grow it right. But it's more sentimental for me a loved one that passed was growing it since the 90's and they couldn't keep their garden healthy anymore and lost it, but they handed me a bag of seeds they found in it over the years and asked me if I could try to germinate them to help get the garden back up, and I did try, no luck and then they passed away so the ATF seeds are honestly the only ones in my entire collection that even really matter to me. Everything else, is just everything else. I will try these ATF one at a time and try my best until I either get lucky or run out.

Here is a quick little update. I will say this is day 10 since I wasn't keeping track but probably should, and also need to start thinking more in terms of end game goals. I guess I probably have to wait to see what all sprouts to see what we have available first. I started with around 100 seeds, and ended up with 40 cracking. Of the 40 that began germinating, 33 survived in the paper towel finally and they were all put in solo cups in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Now here at day "10", 17 seeds of the 33 have broke soil. Any other seeds from that germination round that were still left in the paper towels, never sprouted, or barely sprouted so I discarded them as weaklings... Last night I began another round of seed germination with about 70 more seeds. With the hopes of these 70 in this round of germination giving me the rest of the plants I need to move forward. By the end of germination I am hoping to have 40-50 plants to pick through and narrow down to a few keepers of each strain to move to the next round. Then I will have about 18-24 of the 40-50 that I will actually keep around and flower out. Now that I said so many numbers to confuse you, if you even made it this far lmao, I will take clones of the 18-24 and flower them in search of keeper mothers. Let me know if you think I should also take clones off the other ones of the 40-50 that doesn't make it to the 18-24, for future endeavors lol...
They are still on my desk under horrible lighting, but hopefully today I will go to the storage and find my tent, fans and lights.
Thank you for stopping in!

Also here is a couple pictures of my last grow so you can kind of see what I grow like. I was just running them 12/12 from seed in one gallon pots in Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and I was using Flora Nova veg and Flora Nova bloom. I just grow small plants that produce a quarter ounce to an ounce, sometimes they give me more.

Good to see someone else pushing large numbers in a relatively small tent.
Have ran 40 in a 4 by 2 with minimal veg but found the sweet spot around 20.

Tend to rely on a reveg off the best rather than deal with a lot of clones from the start.
