So yesterday turned out to be bizarre. Scoped my Pineapple Muffin and had 40% - 50% amber, tight nugs, choppy choppy wacky wacky and shes trimmed and hanging.
Out of everything in veg that is waiting to go to flower... 3 out of 8 expressed male. 2 PMM which I wanted and my Hybrid G plant. Bummed on the Hybrid G.
Cloned the PMM males x8 so that I'm certain to get 1 off of each plant. Those will go to bonsai eventually. I clipped the Hybrid G and went straight to bonsai with him.
Anything that I've got at this point are either HSC strains that I'm looking to cross or hybrids I'm already in the middle of or 40 strains from a Cali guy that I'm working to prove genetics. Examples: Chem Dog 4, Blue Cookies, Afghan 1, Lemon Skunk 2, LA Confidential, King King and 8 auto strains.
So any males that pop are getting bonsai treatment and heading back into veg. I want easy access to pollen from quality strains.
I'm interested in crossing all of the HSC lines. I have 3: Pineapple Muffin, Squirt, and Purple Mountain Majesty. The PPM and PM are reg seeds. Squirt is fem and I already have a stable mama plant for that one for clones. I'm working on bonsais for both male and fem PPM. The Pineapple Muffin has been auto for me. So a bonsai wont work for that strain. But I crossed the pineapple with an old school purple strain that has produced nice plants and should knock the auto out of it. I'll breed it back to PM and then once again to the purple mountain majesty. Pineapple grape bud would be nice. Purple Pineapple Muffin. Once I run a few generations on it and prove it stable then I'll put one of its males over a Squirt clone and see what happens. The goal with the HSC seeds is to end up with something called Purple Squirting Pineapple Muffin.
The rest of it? Who the fuck knows until the plants are grown, strains sampled, and "this and this would be fire..." is determined.
And yes I've finally dove into the seeds and genetics game. Tried to buy more seeds last night. My wife grabbed some paper. Based upon the seed stock I have now apparently I have the ability to produce 1600 strains. So whatever I am doing this is what I'm doing it with unless the guys genetics actually suck.
Weird life.
