looking good bro!;) looks like things are happening according to plan...:) have you tried tasting some (early picked, maybe...) buds yet to check the taste differential from last grow?

:D Thanks bro!!!:cool:

:eek: I sure did pull early testers along the whole way, & could not believe the strength growth as they matured. o_O Moms was the dankiest funkiest smell early on, the daughter of her had a similar dank/funk smell. The other daughters mom passed last season. This one has a funky smell but is a totally different pheno. They all have a purple side that comes out later on when the nights get cooler. The taste is similar for the mom and daughter, they have a funky smooth earthy taste. It is hard for me to grasp the full spectrum, once cured I will give a full description of flavors and aromas. ;)

Thanks for checkin in.:confused:

great work Sir Puffs Alott. what are these? is this a f2 f3 grow? looking like you get them doing what you want anyway mate. what your goal with the strain? i know i am a pain lol. :D

Thanks bro!!!:D Your not a pain.;)

For those who are wondering what an F-1, & F-2 are in the plant world: o_O

What is a F1 Hybrid? Cannabis Genetics Explained

F1 hybrid breeding in genetics is a type of breeding that focuses on the first initial generation of plants or seeds. It is a type of plant breeding that attempts to domesticate plants and change their genetic properties in order to best benefit growing needs. Unlike other genetic breeding traits, this one seeks to give the initial offspring different qualities than the parents.
F1 breeding first arose in the 19th century with the work of Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics. As an Austrian friar, he spent much of his day caring for plants, especially pea plants that were used to feed the friars of his order. His careful observance of the genetic patterns in the offspring of certain pea plants gave rise to his hypotheses of inheritance through generations that later became known as genetics. Once more careful observations were made by Mendel and genetic traits recorded in the pea plants, the Austrian friar was able to use this newfound knowledge to produce pea plants that gave more peas and better quality peas. This concept of Mendelian inheritance is still what fuels modern-day genetic breeding, including F1 hybrid breeding.
F1 hybrids are a bit more difficult to achieve

than simply letting two Marijuana Strains cross-pollinate, the basis for most plant breeding. To ensure that you do not get offspring that shows the traits of one dominant parent, scientists carefully control the pollination of Marijuana Strains. True F1 hybrids are produced by controlled pollination which must be repeated each season. The controlled pollination is done by hand in carefully measured batches and given to the receiving plant in a very controlled environment in order to achieve this hybrid cross. This long process is the reason behind the higher prices of F1 hybrid seeds that you see on the market.
While simply controlled pollination can produce a true F1 hybrid, it often requires a specific plant breeding process in order to accomplish the exact desired traits in the offspring. Often this is done through the process of reverse breeding or Doubled Haploidy (DH). This helps to produce a homozygous plant from a heterozygous starting plant. This process creates doubled haploid cells from haploid cells which eliminates the need for genetic recombination. A recombination does happen between two corresponding chromosomes and, because there is no un-linkage of alleles, there is just a recombination with its identical copy. Therefore, the traits of the chromosomes stay linked, producing the desired set of traits on the chromosomes and resulting in an F1 hybrid.
Traditionally, F1 hybrids have been used in agricultural crops and have been the driving force behind the study of agronomy. Cannabis Breeder have inbred plants for years to produce more desirable results. They use a process known as Heterosis to yield wanted characteristics in order to get not just one plant with the favorable traits but all produced plants with uniform characteristic. However, since these plants are being inbred, there are limitations to what they can achieve. Usually, around the tenth generation, the homozygosity of the plants that are being produced reaches a level, usually determined at 90% or above, where they no longer can yield the desired results. This requires a new process which can be done by simply crossing plants with a different population while avoiding self-fertilization. While it may be the simplest way, it usually involves removing all male plants from the population, which can still be time-consuming, but there are also other methods of achieving this. While it may be time-consuming, it is still one of the most commonly used methods in agriculture and plant breeding today. To give you an idea, ninety nine percent of all corn plants, 80% of sunflowers, 95% of sugar beets and 60% of onions that are produced in the United States each year are strictly F1 hybrids.
Today, medical marijuana facilities, Seedbanks and Cannabis Breeder all across the country are using this process of creating F1 hybrids that agriculture has used for decades to produce seeds and plants that have ever-growing desired characteristics. Scientists can identify which type of cannabis treats certain diseases and what the properties in the plants are that achieve this. By knowing this, researchers can attempt to produce ever-changing offspring that display these characteristics stronger than the parents. F1 hybrid breeding is being used to produce plants that can better treat Alzheimer’s disease, mental disorders, lung cancer, breast cancer, HIV, brain cancer, ALS, skin disease and many more problems that medical marijuana is attempting to cure or alleviate. Many Seedbanks have produced Marijuana Strains that suit specific diseases, beginners, advanced smokers, different body types and many more factors that one considers when choosing the best strand for a patient. The ever-advancing world of medical marijuana is being driven by the helpful process of F1 hybrid breeding.

Well the two large plants are the F-1's. The smaller re-veg is the actual mother of one of the two F-1's, (the stinky one ;)) . The second mom passed away last year after harvest. Her daughter is the second of the two F-1's (the spicy one :)).

The lineage is all laid out on my PORN page.

I actually have seed stock from the Mothers breeding project left over, and many F-1 seeds from the back cross.

Here is how this all happened:

One day I had a [Lemon OG] female growing and decided to give TGA's [Deep Purple] a try. I started a few and got two males that I thought I should give a chance, I really liked the growth on the males so I kept'em. I pollinated the Lemon OG with two different Deep Purple males. This gave me many-a-seed. I started 16 early in the season and wound up keeping six females two of them being males and letting the rest go for other projects my "Buddies" have.
So with that all said, out of the six I kept, I used the two [Purplemon] males to create the current [Purplemon] F-1 females shown in the pix. I plan on trying another backcross if I get more males from the original projects seed.

P.S. I also have a supply of male pollen from both Deep Purple males, in my freezer.:cool:

Thanks for stopping by and asking a great question.:D

great pics! they are getting some nice color on them.

Just wanted to correct something I said.

P.S. I also have a supply of male pollen from both Deep Purple & Purplemon males, in my freezer.:cool:

Thanks bro!!
A few of the buds turned purple with the cooler nights, next year hopefully more.;)

Thanks for stopping in.:)
