BOB those are going to be some big ladies. Blueberry Pineapple Delight.
I for one love me some super fruity smelling and tasting herbs.
Consider me along for the ride.
How do you, or do you, hold onto strains when growing outside? As in keep the genetic alive after harvest? Do you keep some cuts going inside?
And also do you deprivation males out there to get pollen? I have been wanting to do some chucking but i am concerned about rogue pollen indoors, and not sure about the outdoor procedure.

[NorcalBob]

Glad to see you Inreply, these are going to be awesome, I cant wait. Beginning of August I'll take cuts from the ones that look like standouts and bring them inside and keep them under t5's till these finish up. After these are cured and I know which if any will be keepers I'll dump the rest and start rolling the winners. I sexed all my outside crop early this spring, left the males I liked outside as I brought the ladies back in to reveg. While the girls were inside, I let the gents dump their loads and collected and froze the pollen. I ended up with Sour Bubble, Strawberry D XI, Dj's Blueberry and some Chunk D pollen this year. I dusted A couple strawberry D ladies I had outside for a spring harvest and my mental floss clone, all the pollens worked but the Chunk D, so that ones gone now.
Pollen doesn't travel like alot of ppl make it out too, its heavier then you think. Not so much airborne, rather a feather falling. What i'm trying to say is, if they are in another room, you dont have to worry. BUT for peace of mind, spray everything down with water after you mess with the males. I just snip a couple tops off as soon as most of the pods are opening, put them in a cup on a plate and collect once a day after a couple flicks on the stems. Then put them into folds, label and throw'em in the freezer. Watch your hands and change your shirt before you go see the ladies and you'll be cool as a cucumber.

Thanks for the clear explanation. Sounds like something i could do with my current setup and space. Having had a few accidental pollinations in the ole bloom room i have been overly scared since. Though tossing some pollen is high on my list of new activities.

That is pretty nice you neednt worry about the height of the fence given the neighbors' activities. Gotta love CA! I have a feeling my one neighbors children would probably snip off a branch or two for some experiments!

Hows that mental floss keeper of yours? Whats she like?

[NorcalBob]

My floss keeper is very colorful, tons of trichs, smells alot like fruity, sweet, musky, hashy goodness. The taste is alot like the smell, really nice, deep, robust. The pain relieving properties are incredible, I get very introspective too, good cleansing bud. I really dont think I've done it justice either, but I'm like a kid in the candy store when it comes to starting new genetics. It's been hard for me to just run one or two, its gotta be 4 or 5 right? spice 0 life aye? I've only got one plant left of her, she's doing great outside. I've got her right next to the Blue Cindy that's in the ground, they're palz. I'll be sure to get a cut of her before I roll out the House of Chop.

[inreplyavalon]

Sounds like we and so many others on this sight are cut from the same cloth. My clone and seed plants are BRAWLING for sqft. in my bloom room. Yields are telling me to run two strains, but my seeds are dangling visions of trichomes in my face tempting me to uncover their mysteries.
Will look forward to watching blue cindy and her pal grow

Before we get rollin, lets have some tunes aye? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxGh6VGxuw0

So, yea Summertime baby...weather has been nothing short of incredible here in the east bay. Blessed I am to have fine genetics to run and cold beers to drink~ These 3 Cindy's are just dolls, pure and simple, look pretty, dont ask for much and they just keep showing the love.

Here they are Yesterday, June 26




I'm trying to train the mutant still, cropped her 3 mains in hopes she'll fill out some. The other two were topped once and have become supabushes. I just went out there and they all grew an inch or two since I took these shots yesterday. I'm tempted to go take some now and show ya, bbq'n in a bit tho. Good shit is afoot.

for stopping by yall.

[NorcalBob]

hey bob

lookin good. love the dog

how is about some mulch on top to keep the moisture longer inside and to protect the dirt from drying out?
maybe some tomato cages would be nice to support the side branches.
