CBM,
That sucks! I'd spray every square inch of the room down. And then do it again. Minimize the damage. You have pics of the females? Each possible seed requires a pistil for the pollen to land on.

Already sprayed everything down, maybe I should get the walls too. And the ceilings too? I know that when I was younger I had the same problems... :) As soon as the lights come on, I'll respray everything.

Check out post 58 for pictures of the females at the time of the pollen drop.

Check out "House of Love Seed Co" genetics on the Bay.....I'm going to be a tester for their Sour Cindy and their genetics are VERY good at a very affordable price.

They have a whole area on ICMag in the seed vendor area....

good luck CannaB......I'm sure you'll do great!

Time for an update. Things are starting to get stinky, I'm 3 weeks into flowering. I love it when the indivual plants start showing their unique characteristics. The Lemon Skunk is starting to smell like lemons, and I have one TBB plant that smells like boo-berry cereal. Before now, all plants are basically the same, and a little boring.

I'm seeing the same problem that I had with my original pack of DJ Short's True Blueberry, there's a ton of variance. All of the plants on the left are TBB F2's. In the 2nd picture, one bushy in the back left, two plants to the right of her are tall and lanky, and the one in front of those three is short and bushy.

The 3rd and 4th shots are of the two DGS Killer Queen plants. They're both looking like they will have the largest buds of the crop, but it's still early.

The 5th shot is of my Island Sweet Skunk mother candidates in the veg room. Whenever they get too tall, I take more cuttings.

6th, and 7th are of the 3 or 4 plants that got too stressed, and don't look like they'll make it. The other plants have picked up the slack a little, so I'm not as worried about that as I was in the beginning.

The last 2 shots I'll be posting in another thread to get a little more attention. It seems that I've lost the touch when it comes to cloning. I haven't seen more than a 10% strike rate with the cuttings that I've been taking. I've tried 2 different methods, rapid rooters and bubble cloning. With the bubble cloning, I started 55 cuttings almost a month ago now, and only one has rooted. The rapid rooters are working only slightly better, but most of them are either damping off, or drying up, like is shown in the photos. I've been checking them daily, and there's never any standing water in the trays, so I'm confused why they're damping off. If I can get the cloning issue taken care of, all of the rest of my problems will eventually fall into line. What the hell am I doing wrong?!?

Build yourself a aero-cloner with sprayers, run it for 1 minute on, 5-10 off. You'll start to bust roots in 3-5 days and in two weeks you'll have great starts. I mix a flower formula into my cloner (1/4 strength) until the clones start getting white bumps, then I add a little nitrogen (veg formula) once the leaves start to lose a little color and start yellowing. I also throw silica blast, aquasheild and liquid karma into the mix with my flower formula. Nitrogen strong veg formulas will hinder root development and slow the process.

Good luck, Peace
