Thanks for the 411 Umbra !-- if I'm growing seed how much longer do I need to let it run ? Last time I took the plants like I normally do and some of the seed weren't mature yet !-- Beemer sorry about the family health problems - U better keep taking your meds we expect U to be around for awhile !

Keef, I like to pollinate when the females are 10 to 14 days past showing, and then I let them go full term for when the plant is ready by checking trichome ripeness. Then the dry, and freeze cycle. The deep cold helps trigger the germination. If they are immature, then they were seeded at some weeks after when they first started showing. Its fairly easy to crack open a seed pod without taking the whole plant. If they are not ready, let them go a little longer. I have done tons of revegs, and have deliberately left seeds in the bud and revegged the plant. They were mature and very healthy seeds. So I would conclude that once the seed is made, the photo period has little do with the maturity of the seed.

Thanks again Umbra !-- aero under LEDs - I can do that !-- RWS has taken a clone from my other Widow line (my pink line ) ( the mother of TheGlomans Widow Twins from last year) and put it in with the T.E. and announced - there is your White Elephant !-- She needs to be an outside plant !-- If I had my way it would be gone - she bolts the first few weeks of bloom and gets top heavy making it hard to SOG !-- What U gonna do ? Ain't nothing wrong with the smoke !-- Rosebud !-- Be careful girlfriend !- remember how I told U to do that stuff ! Testing a new batch of caps this evening !-- they work !

ok .......so now I'm a seed maker. you guy have me going . I love making clones, and I know I will love making baby beans.

Hippie are you saving any male Afghani plants out of yours? clone a male? I think a cross of pure Afghani with the money maker. Which is a cross of master kush x Hindu kush x Skunk.

I want to keep it all indica

If I'm going to breed seeds, I'm breeding the early girl of pot. Looking for a mid September finish.

I'm also trying to force start flower in early July for 2 weeks trial run. I have heard that it works. When I set my clones out in early June they do not go into flower They have been grown in 24 hour light . You would think they would start flowering when set out. but they don't. Because the days are still getting longer, I think. So I'm thinking if I can force it into flower by depriving light down to 12/12 for 2 weeks in July. Once I put them out, the light will be longer, but getting shorter every day. I think they will continue flowering instead of reveging.

what do you think umbra? possible?

 

[umbra]

yes I think that is possible. I would say that naturally they would start by middle to end of July. So I don't think there would be time for it to reveg.

 

[Rosebud]

A mid september finish would be awesome, is there such a thing?

 

[Keef]

Don't know about mid September finisher - I took down that brickweed I planted in a container out back !-planted those seed December 1st ! They started to bud but were starting to revegg !-- Next year Keef be planting him some outside weed about the time everybody else begins to harvest ! Growing weed outside in the winter ?- who woulda ever thunk it !

 

[Hippie420]

Beemer, mighty sorry to hear about the family being on hard times. Hope your nephew realizes that it's better to keep your life than to keep a job. You need both, but life comes first.

Bozzo, if I get a male out of the bunch, green Santa will save some powder for ya, unless you'd rather have a clone or two.

Good morning OFC. Let`s get started off the OFC way this morning. It`s "wake and bake" time in Curmudgeonland. Grab a cup of coffee in one hand, a bowl of your favorite herb in the other and have at it. "Wake and bake" time.

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C. !-- I promised myself I would only get high once today !-- Another toke or two and a little more coffee, all will be right with the world !-- Welcome EB - never grew any BlackBerry Trainwreck-- sounds tasty though !

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning hippie.

Morning, Yoop. I'm seeing bare patches here at the ranch. Critters are loving it. Hate to get my hopes up, 'cause I know Michigan. Sure am enjoying the warmer days.

You know you're from Michigan when you walk around in a T shirt at 50 degrees.

Bar exam coming up in three hours. Hope I pass!

 

[Keef]

Hippie knew what I meant about only getting high once ! Still nursing that buzz too !- I went to a laser inservice for O.R. use one time -- I got my hands on it and cleaned house - they did not like that little green light pointed at them one bit !-- I was properly chastised but it was totally worth it !
