Diary Run #9: Fem hybrids. OG and Bubba Chunk

[flylowgethigh]

I want some kushy dope to counteract the sativas. This is what I picked, I hope they are fems anyways. These will go in the big tent after the Cindy finishes. I will wet 3 of each and hope to get 2 each females.

Verdant Green (lemon Thai x DC) x Bubba (retry). => BC
Purple Caper Ed Rosenthal super OG. => OG

 

[VerdantGreen]

hope they do well for you !

So far I’ve got 2 BC and 3 OG. The OG are in front.

 

[flylowgethigh]

Got a couple non-conforming BC plants here.

 

[VerdantGreen]

the one on the right looks a bit odd for sure, could be genetic but also could be something nibbled the first true leaves when they were just starting to grow... hopefully will sort itself out. The one not up yet looks to be in a completely different soil mix with lots of perlite. That might dry out much more quickly than the rest so possibly worth keeping an eye on. Did you germinate them before planting or were they straight into the soil ?

 

[flylowgethigh]

The one not up is in the same mix as the others. I use a layer of FauxFarms seed starter on top when I put tails in the cups. The tails had just poked their noses out when I cupped them. The dark stuff is BAS ‘top dress’ that I put in to support the spindly stems and add Nitrogen, cause I think the stuff is mostly EWC.

I’m gonna go with the one on the right is a bushy bubba like the one I gave away. We’ll see.

 

[VerdantGreen]

Ah! right so it's just not been topdressed yet..
yes the LTxDC is a wide cross and then crossed to the bubba shouldn't cause any mutants but i guess there is always some chance of them with any seeds.

The nonconformist on the right looks pretty cool, lotus flower leaves.

 

[flylowgethigh]

These sprouts are slow compared to those Mr Flower just popped. I am digging the misfit BC. The OG are in back here to rotate the light coverage. They are boring with the consistency, VGs gear, not so much.

 

[VerdantGreen]

all looking good...
looks to be some good hybrid vigor in the big one !
the odd one looks like it is sorting itself out, looks like it lost the tip of those first leaves when they were tiny.
is the third one still not above the soil?

[flylowgethigh]

The third isn’t gonna come out and play, I fear. All 3 beans had noses sticking out, this one just got lazy. I only have 4 tubs anyways, so things are working out OK.

hope you find a nice kushy pheno. i love those terps

 

[VerdantGreen]

yeah they're probably 10 years old those seeds so unless they've been kept in the freezer the germination rate will have gone down. They are very big seeds if i remember right...

 

[flylowgethigh]

They were big seeds. These are the last of those, and that goofy BC will have a home in one of the tubs.

 

[flylowgethigh]

They were big seeds, and kept in 5he freezer. These are the last of those, and that goofy BC will have a home in one of the tubs.

Wish we could delete posts…

 

[flylowgethigh]

OG in back, BC in front. One is trying to show off.

 

[flylowgethigh]

They are chugging long still. One of the BC has so much more vigor than the rest of the pack… the two BC are in back. 3rd never came up.

 

[CosmicGiggle]

very nice show, I'd love to take a peak at the roots to see if there is an obvious difference in corresponding vigor.

 

[VerdantGreen]

I hoped for variation when i did the (LT x DC) x Bubba - quite a few of them lean towards the bubba, i'm hoping your bigger seedling leans more towards the Lemon Thai.. we will see.

Big Bubba Chink is ready to move into her bag tomorrow.

The vigor on that plant is the most I have seen yet.
