My Purple Daddy

[bombbudpuffa]

This is one nice looking fella. Nice indica structure with some bright purple stamen:hubba:. I'm considering taking a cutting and keeping him around. He's taking forever to drop some pollen. Not one pod has popped at day 37 flower.

[4u2sm0ke]

Very nice..wish I had that DUDE!!!

 

[bombbudpuffa]

wish I had that DUDE!!!

I wish I would have kept the other pheno. He might have turned purple too. I am very happy with this one though. I think he'll make some good hybrids.

hey BBP, another thing to add, seeing as how your wondering about what to cross and what not, i would like to see somebody cross Twisted Purple OG kush, with NYC sour diesel. Or Mk Ultra with Grape Ape.

 

[bombbudpuffa]

I wish I had one of those strains. I have a cross of the NYCD.

U Should Cross It Then Cross Its Purple Babies And Keep Doing That Till Its A True Purple Strain

 

[BuddyLuv]

What is the strain?

 

[Thorn]

He is very handsome...I think I can hear my Orange Candy Floss lady squeeling for him :hubba:

 

[bombbudpuffa]

He is Williams Wonder x Blackberry bx2.

Nice

BBP, what's your secret for growing big healthy plants? I see that you're a soil farmer, what kind of setup do you have?

I've never seen a male in full flower like that before. I hope your breeding works out well for you.

 

[bombbudpuffa]

what kind of setup do you have?

A ghetto one...like me. I veg where ever. I was using a lil 1ftx1ft box I built but now i'm just using an open closet to veg in. For flower I use a grow tent. It's 3ftx1 1/2(or 18 inches rather). I use a 400w hps and my room stays a constant 75 with help from cool weather from outside and my central a/c. I don't have any special way of growing and i'm usually doing something different with every plant. Imo, i'm just getting into the swing of things.

 

[Alistair]

Cool. But what kind of light do you use for vegging? You might have a ghetto vegetative setup, but it works. So, what kind of soil and nutrients do you use?

 

[bombbudpuffa]

what kind of light do you use for vegging?

Sometimes CFL, sometimes MH, sometimes hps and sometimes a combination of the 3. The only light I have "assigned" to a room is the 400w. I like to play around with diff spectrums and see how the growth is. So far, 6500k is the best imo but the 10k seems to be working out fine.

what kind of soil and nutrients do you use?

ATM and I stress that, i'm using Pure Blend Pro for veg and Biobizz Bloom and Original Pure Blend for flower. The medium is a mix of coco, mushroom compost and Sunshine potting mix. I added myco, lacti bacteria, corn meal and blueberries to the medium. I'm running out of Biobizz and ordered some Pure Blend Pro soil to replace it so soon i'll be using just PBP.

Good To See Those Nutes Work Perfect My Next Choice Is Pbp ..

BBP whats the difference between a strain and a pheno??

BBP whats the difference between a strain and a pheno??

White Widow, white rhino, blueberry...these are strains. The different physical appearances of the plants grown from a pack of blueberry would be different phenos. My laymens terms probably confuse more than help so heres this-

phenotype is any observable characteristic or trait of an organism: such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, or behavior. Phenotypes result from the expression of an organism's genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and possible interactions between the two. The genotype of an organism are the inherited instructions it carries within its genetic code. Not all organisms with the same genotype look or act the same way, because appearance and behavior are modified by environmental and developmental conditions. Also in the same way, not all organisms that look alike necessarily have the same genotype. This genotype-phenotype distinction was proposed by Wilhelm Johannsen in 1911 to make clear the difference between an organism's heredity and what that heredity produces.[1][2] The distinction is similar to that proposed by August Weismann, who distinguished between germ plasm (heredity) and somatic cells (the body). A more modern version is Francis Crick's Central dogma of molecular biology.

I have a quick question...kinda off topic but purple related. =)

If you pollinate a purple female (the only purple one out of 5 total) will those seeds be more prone to sprout plants with a disposition to express the color purple more so then if I pollinated one of the non-purple female with the same pollen ?
