First time I'm trying this, flowering cuttings pollinated and put in a blooming biased nute mix. Seems like it might work..just want seeds from them. Cut and pollinated 4/16...still alive and cruising and i keep them in 12/12. See if they can make it the full 4 weeks to get seeds lol.

Lol, ive always known seeds can be done in 3 weeks...it's just not the norm on big plants doing everything else to survive and grow. This is 2wks 5d lol!

So if that is in the same room, what is the advantage over carefully pollinating a bud and wetting it a couple hours later.

it looks as if the plant has enough nutes in its reserves to pull that stunt ;)
how's the one under the bag doing?

Not so good boss, never recovered full turgidity...so i trimmed them down to smaller stem and trimmed leaves. It perked back up, but i think it very well may have aborted seed production due to the stressing. I see only like 3 immature seeds. So lesson learned right? :)
This shit works, just size your cuttings appropriately.

Here's the whole backstory, so everyone is on the same page. I test alot outdoors, i sacrifice plants all the time to see what they can take, what i can get...this particular run was testing phenos early spring for morphology and leaf/calyx ratio. They began flowering but i had no intention of pollination at that time or even finishing them. Turns out i found a male trifoliate and that was dropping pollen. So happy coincidence, how can i pollinate this pheno i like, but is about to go into reveg...hocus pocus this is what i hacked up :)
I pollinated them in a different location so no worries there.
So i would follow your strat if i was pure indoor but i have a different set of circumstances. Nice input hillbil

Have you noticed with some strains that the leaf ratio is more on some outside compared to running them inside mudballs..

No i can't definitively say i have. I'm very apprehensive to get into the genetics vs. environment thing but there is such a thing as pheno variance based on environment...i just haven't personally witnessed it.

I ran a pk of jeff paynes dude your drooling and his charlies stank ass indoors and had some extras left over in same media and fed same nutes the charlies was leafy outdoors but inside were more bud per leaf ratio..maybe it was just one of the many phenotypes of that strain..once i trimmed though there was some nice buds.

That's where we could get into Mendel's pea experiment and Punnit Square...depends all on parents and how far breeder took that to stabilize...it takes a lot to make something homogeneous and stop pheno variances from showing up.

My advice to new growers is to use some of your own poop in the soil. It's the secret to really good weed no one talks about. ;)

Is that why they say good shit? Lol

Exactly.

I am running 12/12 from seed perpetual

Used a couple packs of frozen hotdogs to cool my res down.

I don’t have time to watch tv, get what you work for.

My room runs like a 66 Corvair. Sometimes runs a bit too hot, and it's a little rough, but gets me there.

 

[growsince79]

I just gave my plant a beer.

 

[Glassdub]

First thing i look at when i walk in the room.

Seems to be the norm NOT to check it.

 

[Glassdub]

I never veg over a month. If all goes well, 2-3 weeks from sprout.

Whereas I veg way longer than most, I'm not in a rush I have plenty of weed.
