In Bloom
Jar Lid - GMO
GMO Outside Day 49 - After 5 years with this strain, I've let them go for 84 to 104 days/flower.
Highest % I've ever had. Some cuts were originally gifted to me by a friend who is a medicinal provider.
He and some of his friends who also grow as medicinal providers tweaked this strain crossing the
best with the best, and ended up with this, which had some of the higher tests coming in at 37.4 combined.
As a medicinal provider, he must have them tested for levels. It's the best I've ever had and that is saying a lot.
Two downsides to this strain, although the potency makes up for it, are the time to fruition, and the stretch. It stretches well into week 7 and stretches 2 to 3 times the size from when the lights are cut back. Now that I know how much these stretch, I can start flowering much earlier than other strains as it sucks to run out of room. I had the 1000w HPS almost glued to the ceiling of the normal sized tent height. 80 inches ? I had to make another bracket to go across the ceiling from some 1/2 in conduit, and use jack chain in the top of the fixture so I could get the light as close to the ceiling as possible. I still had to bend, fold and mutilate many of them as the stretch was killing the fun.
I'm sure many here can answer these questions.
Three years ago, while working on my 4th grow with this strain, I had a 4 x 4 tent with 6 plants/varieties, all fems. One of the strains was Royal Queen's "Royal Gorilla" which I believe is the only one that hermed. After the damage was done, I found some nanners on some of the lower branches of the Royal Gorilla, and all 6 strains produced seeds. Also the plant with the most seeds was the "Royal Gorilla". At the same time that the 4x4 was going, I had a 4x5 going right next to the other tent with more GMO growing in it and none of them had seeds, which also leads me to believe it was the Royal Gorilla herm in tent #1 that caused the seeds.
With a 425 cfm fan blowing in, and an Cloudline 10 speed sucking out the air in the tent for circulation, as well as two ocsillating 6" fans in the tent, the pollen hit all of the plants. You know what they say about when "it" hits the fan.
My questions are: If my beloved GMO aka Garlic Cookies, *Chem Dog x Girl Scout Cookies, was hit with pollen from the "Royal Gorilla" fem herm, will the seeds be fem? Fem, with a chance of herm? Reg? Reg, with a chance of herm?
What is the ratio of seeds that will be just like the fem GMO mom that the seeds came? 25%?, 50%? Inquiring minds want to know. The reason is this. I shut down the garden for a year and a half and no longer have a mom for cuts, and I'm hoping some of the seeds from her will be just like she was. In that I have some seeds, I don't really want to bother him for some more cuts. Plus he lives two hours away. I greatly appreciate any answers.
