Yeah I remember reading bout shadows Dart a few years back on udg, interested in how they yield for you. Good luck.


The dart are quite streched out and probably wont yield vary much this round. However they should make good seeds anyways

Just came back from a mini 2 day vacation and a surprise was waiting. All 4 darts have started flowering. Unfortunately I got 4 males so the previous estimates was wrong. I had been hoping for at least one female to make more dart seeds but oh well next grow. At least I will be able to collect some pollen and pollinate the Wild Thailand Ryder with dart. I'll be growing Dart again next run with Dark Devil although this time only 2 or 3 plants per pot because the darts all got quite stretchy this round from being too far from the light.



Stay green and keep safe

I just bought a new tent for the plants on ebay. It's a 3x3x6 the current tent is 2x4x5 it only cost $67. This should be better suited to my 400w light. It should get here around next Wednesday

Today is day 42! Everything seems to be going smoothly. WTR are both growing more buds each day. And the Darts are blooming male flowers not yet opened though.



On with the pics

Today I collect some pollen on a plant by shaking a male over the plate. Got a vary little bit of pollen so I dipped my finger in it and tried to pollinate WTR

Today is day 51! I decided I have enough pollinated branches on both WTR so the male darts are now in the trash. WTR both are doing well growing slowly each day. Unfortunately a few tops got burnt before I got the new tent set up.

Other than that everything seems to be going well.

Today is day 56! I was a little late with the last watering due to being away for 2 days. Should have watered them before I left but didn't. The plants are ok though no worries. Still thinking these have about 3 or 4 weeks to go. Getting some brown hairs so maybe sooner.

A little surprised you ran into problems with the light being too close, no room for a fan to keep the plants moving a bit?

What i ended up doing was completely different than what was suggested way of pollinating. The first try was a failure. I dipped my finger in the pollen on the plate and touched a bunch of buds but none of those buds where pollinated. However after that failed I noticed some pollen was falling directly on the WTR buds. And there were seeds forming. So yay for seeds but I need to buy a paint brush or qtip or something for hand pollinating



Also today I tried my first early smoke from WTR. After a bunch of tops were scorched because of being to close to the light i set the matter on top of the 400w hood. It dried in about one or two days. The smoke was quite nice. I'm not quite sure how to describe it as i'm not use to giving smoke reports but it was nice and heady with some body as well. As a side note I can now see crystals starting to form on the buds which is nice because my last grow that didn't happen with auto NL and Dr feelgood. Although they both were nice smoke and I still have some maybe and ounce left over from the last harvest.

To be honest I'm not sure how I would fit a fan in there unless it were clip on or something similar. Although it probably would be helpful I probably wont add one. The plants seem fine without one so far.

I cut a little tester branch about a week ago and it is now dry enough to smoke. This plant has lots of crystals probably the most crystaly auto i've grown. The high is good hits you behind the eyes. I like it vary much.
