Old school guy taught me this a few decades ago. Males... remove them from everything as soon as they express. Outside is great if nothing else is going out there. When the first pods open fully, it's going to be one of the lower ones, cut it. Cut the branches long. Fill up a jar, glass, whatever with ph balanced water. Put that on some wax or parchment paper to catch the pollen. Doesnt need any light. It just will drop. I use a watercolor brush and just coat it in pollen and then paint the lower buds I want to pollenate so that the rest of the plant's bud is not affected.

These branches are from a male HSC Pineapple Muffin. I just coated a couple of buds of HSC Purple Mountain Majesty with that pollen. Can't wait to run those beans and get some Squirt into that mix. Their collective offspring should be... interesting :)

This is nice and simple. Love it.

Outdoor action... ladies are starting to make me smile :)

 

[MHippie]

Inside veg action... this used to be a bonsai momma. But I had too many of this strain (HSC Purple MM). So it got dropped in a 5 gal, pruned, and grown/trained to this point.

This is the final defoliation before flowering. The goal is 7 good sized colas. And I'll be flowering this one inside under the new Viparspectra P2500's.

I've got 2 other mainlined plants to transplant. One is HSC Pineapple Muffin. The other is Blue God.

 

[MHippie]

And Blue God got it as well

 

[Flexnerb]

Yeah I'm about light discussioned out with SF threads :))) I like the first two p2000s so much that i ordered in 2 p2500 for my flowering area. Heres why... you've already seen me run these outside. Check this out...

Re BOG and SB? No man :( I would love to find them though. I do have some Hazeman and 3Thirteen strains down though.

How's stuff going with you?

When you took these pics were the lights turned down? If so how far?

:))) Well on my back porch there is one incandescent fixture. That's where my soil and grow bags is kept. It was dark. The pics were taken with a flash, not under my lights. :)))

This is what under the lights looks like :)

Does the light in the top pic in this post get brighter?

 

[MHippie]

Does the light in the top pic in this post get brighter?

It's just my shitty phone. The plant in the second pic is the plant on the left in the big pic. Those lights are bright enough to hurt my eyes when I'm in there. And forget looking at them directly.

Nice!!! You're going to do a grow diary on them right? BOG is one of my favorite breeders.

 

[MHippie]

Those outdoor autos lol man those are big.

But they are SO sllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwww lololol! Those are from the Mark/Strainly guy stock. And the frost coming up on those three is very nice to see. I've been worried about his strain quality since the beginning. Not anymore. I've had test buds off of the Lemon Skunk #2. And have GSC and Green Headband buds drying. They all went frosty. Happy happy joy joy :)

Ok that was weird lol :)))))

Good morning! Lemon Skunk #2 while watching the sun rise.

Mark from Strainly... props. This shit is righteous. For anyone who has any doubts about his Lemon Skunk #2? Have no fear. Skunky gassy lemon citrus dusted with frost as it should be and that was a stunted foobarred plant. I have 2 more going. Can't wait for them to finish. I have his GSC and Green Headband test buds going through a quick dry in a rack now as well.

And to anyone with any doubts about either LEDs or ViparSpectra? Heh. Compare this plant to my outside harvest of the same strain (PMM). I'm tickled shitless and this thing still has a few weeks to go I hope lol.
