Only one week later than previous picks. A little weight gain and heavy seed production. My camera is capable of macro shots. Unfortunately I'm not! I can barely get pics uploaded to ICMag. Yes it's only one plant, but guys it has been so much fun to do this over the winter inside. I have a very limited sense of smell from my nose being broken 9 times and one traumatic head injury. From what I can tell it still smells like a horse. Very pleasing gentle smell to me anyway. A few pistils are just starting new growth after pollination in week 4. The flowering time is 11/13. Outside temps -10 to -35C, +20 to -30F last couple of weeks. Grow room temps day +20 and nights +15C, 70F day 60F nights. I'm interested to see what Phenotypes may be exaggerated in cooler temps compared to what I see during summer grow. So far I don't see anything that stands out to me.

The tray in the background of 3rd pic is an automotive tray for drips from Wal-Mart. It is the best way to clean seed out of larger quantities of bud that I have found. Rolling dried and cured buds between hands on one end. Then elevate one end and tap and the seeds roll down to be separated (maturity), labeled and stored. Indicas I go no less that 6 weeks. Sativas I think 10 weeks is safe for mature seeds. Opinions may vary on times for making seeds. This is what works for me. I give the smoke away after seeds have been harvested. I'm not real concerned about the broken up buds as I don't smoke or sale. I just love the GROW!!! I do ask for smoke reports to guide future work with any hybrid cross I may do. Peace

The girl is finishing week 7 of flowering today. I only see maybe 7 pistols of new growth since pollination 3 weeks ago. The trichome production has picked up a little. Most energy is still being focused on seed production. Weight gain has been minimal this week. No new leaf growth is detected. Plant health is excellent over all. The seed pods are very swollen and have the most new trichome production. The aroma is still equine and very pleasant.

Buddler, That is a very nice looking plant. Hope it turns into the lady your looking for. Mine is just finishing the 8th week of flowering. More and more crystals are forming. Peace

Hi Farmerlion how long to finish for your cross are you going to do another run with her .check out this leaf extra fingers wonder if this is a thai trait maybe Dubi will drop by and clarify for me. Have a great day.

Buddler, How unique that is. I have had some 13 leaf sets in the past but never growing in like that. Yes I pollinated with another f1 of same strain or hybrid. I would like to run seeds through f4 at least. This plant is still at 4' into the 8th week of flowering. Trying to select shorter plants that still produce well. So far it seems to be working. I'm not as concerned with finish time as I think that is what makes the sativas unique and superior to the Indica plant smoke for smoke. Would be nice to veg a plant 2 months and then flower without having a 12' plant to contend with. I may be pissing into the wind??? Peace

Buddler, I'm looking 14 weeks of flowering. Just to make sure the seed is matured fully with 10 weeks time. The buds will be cured for 2 months in mason jars, deseeded and enjoyed by friends who don't mind shake. I will run the f2's next year. Peace
