What brand is that led bar? It looks like the Mars Hydro SP250 I have. Which I need to replace my t5 with.Day 1 of flowering (12/12).
I left 2-3 nodes, in week or so I will reduce the branches on each plant to 2.
Goal here is to start with fairly equally sized branches on each plant, leaving a couple of nodes to start makes this a bit easier.
In 1-2 weeks I will make a cut from every plant as a mom/dad.
I don't think I will keep the males this year to flower out unless I find an exceptional one (still not 100% sure on this, will see if I can pull it off eventually).
Males will be removed here as soon as I spot them.
A fair amount showed or was starting to show sex, plants are near maturity.
These smell a bit more pungent and stincky, I see strong stems and great vigour in this line.
After topping I notided very sticky fingers from NHM!

Rootbound risk is here, important that I feed them enough and remove every male asap to make extra room.

Light stays at this for now, I will gradually build it up but I will not push them by any means.
Quality over quantity in this selection round!

Thanks eazynz!Vigorous looking root mass there @Swifty looking good
It is the SP3000 Trickcomanche.What brand is that led bar? It looks like the Mars Hydro SP250 I have. Which I need to replace my t5 with.
Thanks sneackyfeck!thats looking very good swifty!
Do you have any worms in that soil btw? if so, you could topdress with something like leaves or something to give those roots a bit more protection and automatically fertilize your soil. otherwise you could get some more soil in there to give them a bit more space and protection.
Thanks pleased420.Looking gorgeous @Swifty !
Curious about what keeper female(s) you will find
Getting 32 plants out of 42 ~10 year old seeds is what I would consider a win
There are a ton of seed priming treatments, that have a range of effects and can be readily researched. There is peer reviewed evidence that priming with melatonin can actually reverse some age related degradation, at least in aged corn seed and a few others. No other treatment boasts that. Though, as part of the presoak for actual germing, I found compost tea/leachate to improve things further still. Just throwing that out there. Also, in other species or even in some finicky Cannabis, I have found it to improve the tolerance to a wider range of temperatures for germination. A resilience against dampening off, and about a month of boosted vigor, with no additional treatments. Just something, for the back of your mind.Thanks pleased420.
I have a better method this year for germinating and ofcourse the quality of the seeds are what makes this possible.

How have you changed up your method?I have a better method this year for germinating and ofcourse the quality of the seeds are what makes this possible.

I even did two different plots of Tazzies, one primed and the other just soaked in the same solution. It was like an "as seen on tv ad" the contrast.
Apparently the practice dates to Roman times, at least, using manure leachates. There are a few "proof of concept studies, showing a benefit from aerated water even. Vitamin C, Zinc nanoparticles, compost leachates, Morgana , liquid yeast extract (purer sativas don;t generally seem to like this one,) smoke infused water, chitosan, and more... are all possibilities. Morgana and melatonin are like a killer Mo Town hit. It gets along with everyone.
How have you changed up your method?
Thanks for this info WDS!
I try to keep it as simple as possible Diesel.
I start by letting the seeds acclimatize for at least 7 days at room temp after pulling them out of the fridge.
I went from presoak in tap water (24-48h) to straight planting in Light Mix with no added heat to presoak tap water (24h) and planting in seedling mix with added heat (soil temp between 25°C-26C° just under the level of the seeds and I saw a nice improvement. Last years seeds where in the same age range and results were not as good as this year.
The seedling mix seemed sterilized, no bugs detected that could damage the seedlings. I've seen this in the past.
Larvae of fungus gnats are little worms that eat slow growing roots and kill freshly sprouted plants.
Heat is energy and very much needed by the embryo imo.
Yes, did grow Mango Haze before this grow WDS.Gulliver would have been thrilled.
My question is: have you grown out MH too? I am trying to get a fix on the nuances between MH, this, and NH, and what is potentially lost or changed in their crossing. One thing in particular: the MH is described as having really good outdoor hardiness. I wonder if that is intact. (also as per the Angel Heart)
I know that this is the "finding a keeper" thread, but I would rather ask you guys than to pester Shanti. So Mr. Brown... or anyone...? Bueller...?
Mr. Brown; you have particularly good taste in seeds, brother. Wouldn't expect any less from a smart German.
