Tropicana Poison XL auto, selfing seed run

[Joheim]

My next run will be all autos with the two of these that I was gifted for a seed run. I'm tossing back and forth on the precise method. I'll be using the STS recipe I've had wonderful success with in the past, so that's not the part in question. What I'm stuck on is do I
A) flip a branch on only 1 and get S1s and R1s

Or

B) flip a branch on both and let chaos reign with both S1s and R1s mixed indistinguishably and call them all S1s

Still probably a month out from needing to make my decision so, chime in y'all! What do you think?

 

[Joheim]

AND THEY'RE OFF!
Got these little babies started!
I dropped 3 other strains with them and right now we are sitting at 2 "Tropicana Poison auto XL", 2 "Tropicana Cookies auto", and 2 "Drunken Cherry Fog Dog". The 3 "Double Grape" hadn't done anything as of last night.

 

[Joheim]

Couple more days and they'll be in their big bags!

 

[Joheim]

Been about a week since I put the girls into their big bags. They seem happy
And a shot of everybody

 

[Shar]

I'm so excited for you!

 

[Joheim]

We are 22 days old today


And it'll probably be the top one that's gets the STS treatment. Everyone got a little bent out of shape today, LST and what have you.

I'll get a group shot once I'm done giving Raspberry Sunday her Brazilian.

 

[Joheim]

Group shot!

Little bit of wind stress on that left front. I hope she comes out stronger for it. Also cranked up the light to 400w, they were sitting around 200-250w. Front 2 are the Tropicana Poisons. Don't remember which ones are on which side but the back row has 2 Tropicana Cookies and 2 Drunken Cherry Fog Dog.

 

[Joheim]

29 days group shot!
And my little star

 

[Joheim]

34 days old and flower is officially starting

Side shot and overhead of my little star


Looking like STS treatments will start tomorrow!

 

[Joheim]

Start with a mugshot

And into the details we go.
This is what has worked for me in the past so I see no reason to change it up. Also, this treatment style needs no cloning/ 2nd plant.

UNDER LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS
(A) 1.7g Silver Nitrate ==> 100ml distilled water
(B)1.6g Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate ==> 100ml distilled water

Mix "B" into "A" at a 1(A):4(B) ratio in a light proof spray bottle. Now prepare your plant and get a trash bag. I trim away all lower bud sites on the selected branches to keep the pollen sacs higher on the plant. Then gently manipulate the rest of the plant, not to be treated, into the trash bag. Hefty makes a good plant condom

Protect the soil from Drip and overspray with a paper towel and spray all exposed bud sites and internodes with as fine a mist as you can get till dripping. Get her a fan to help with drying and once dry she can go back under the lights. Be sure she's dry before putting her back otherwise she will burn.

Repeat treatment in 4 days

Treated her again last night

And had to get her a bigger bag

Thank you for the excellent tutorial

 

[Joheim]

I know there is a tutorial pinned at the bottom of the page and I'm sure varinaut did a good job with it I just wanted to document my practices, and if someone can pick something up from it, hell yeah!

 

[Joheim]

Not the best documentarian and I suck as a photographer sometimes but, we have balls! Not as profuse as I would like to see yet, so treatments will go to 5, maybe 6, depending on her reaction.


Our pollinator is on the left. And here's a top from her sister beside her

 

[TJR73]

Looks nice . Good job

 

[Joheim]

Now I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Should start dropping pollen in a week maybe 2.

 

[Tracker]

Lady balls!

 

[Joheim]

We just gonna call them the Vegas Surprise!

 

[Joheim]

Well, she is giving her all in stacking sacs.
