D3monic's 2015 Glog. Lots of Pods.

D3monic · May 23, 2015

Spotted the first Butch T yellow pods forming

I had this labelled as 7pot yellow brainstrain but i'm starting to have my doubts, it's growth was different than the other ones and pod doesn't seem to be shaped right. I had crossed that flower with Aji Limon but obviously that wouldn't affect pod shape until next generation.

The only possible chance of mixed up plant was yellow Primo but again not really shaped like one those either. I know it's still young though. What do you guys think, maybe spot on or a possible cross?

Garden pics before I go to bed, looks like most the plants are starting to bounce back from all the sun and wind burn.

Very nice setup .. Very nice indeed =D

D3monic · May 27, 2015

Thanks! Now I just need to get the gnat problem under control. Backyard so thick with them can only stand to be outside for a minute. I got a yard treament just need to apply it

Does not look like either, grew both last season. Then again early growth is not always true.

KingLeerUK · May 27, 2015

Early pods are usually not true to phenotype, but the skin on that pod doesn't look nearly bumpy enough for a Brain Strain. It looks very Bhut-ish or Naga-like actually.

D3monic · May 27, 2015

The 7pot yellow bs next to it looks just like I would expect, the seeds were OP so could be a cross of just about anything. Source said the plant was next to datil so that could be a possibility. Either way its further crossed now lol.

Speaking of crossed, I just got done raping a few plants in the garden. I hit Aji Amarillo with caribean red hab, Aji Pineapple with Butch T yellow and Lemon drop with Inca berry. About to go hit Goats weed again with some Butch T since it didn't take last time. More about that on my crossing page.

I just googled datil and judging by the pod shapes there's a strong possibility that is what pollinated it last year.

Everything is looking great, nice patch man. Question on your pollination technique? are you doing controlled pollination as in covering the flower after pollination until pod set so there is no chance of cross pollination with something else other then you intended cross? if so what are you using? thanks

no i'm not, up until today everything was pollinated indoors so I just turned off the fans and left them off for a few days after. I was just thinking about that today though as I was pollinating and lil sweat bees where dancing around my flowers. Thought "shoot, wish I had something to cover these"

Any recommendations on what to use? It's always windy so there's a chance of pollen on the breeze so it would have to be pretty fine mesh
Here's a clearer picture of the 7pot yellow bs that's not a 7pot yellow bs. Curious to see what color it turns and how it tastes. Hopefully good, I crossed it with aji limon before I knew it wasn't going to grow true so we shall see what the F1s bring

Here's the one next to it that looks to be a little truer

FreeportBum · May 27, 2015

I bought some large pill capsules that I use with a plastic bag for over night pollination. I collect pollen in the larger end of the pill capsule then slip that over the flower after giving it a brush with q-tip. Put a bag over the pill capsule for the night seems to work well so far. On some flowers I use both ends of the capsule by putting a small hole in the end of the smaller side and cutting it with a pair of scissors. I slip the smaller end over the flower like a collar, and add the other end with pollen. that stays on flowers really well and if no rain in sight you don't need the plastic bag over it. Can take a pic if it doesn't make sense. But I'm also open to new ideas as well it's a little time consuming doing it the way I am. so far I have done a bunch of CAP 455 x pink tiger crosses that have all set pods.

D3monic · May 27, 2015

Nice, it makes sense and sounds tedious too lol. I'm still waiting on the pink tigers to start throwing flowers, there's a couple tiny nubs of them but nothing usable yet. Wouldn't mind crossing with those as well.

tctenten · May 27, 2015

Garden looks real good D3. Couple of questions....what are you doing for the gnats? Didn't have a single gnat inside, but seeing them in some of,y container plants outside. How often will you fertilize now?

D3monic · May 27, 2015

Don't think they are fungus gnats, just the regular old holy shit get out of my orifice kind. I'll have to double check brand but it's the stuff you hook up to the hose and soak the lawn with, kills gnats, mosquito, flea n ticks ect. I did order some azmax though for use in the garden. Don't need it yet but I'm sure I will soon
Prolly fert once a week or as they look like they need it. I've only watered once because all the rain we been getting

tctenten · May 27, 2015

So many different opinions or thoughts on how often and what to fertilize with. It is actually somewhat confusing, then through in organic, nonorganic etc....and it just gets more confusing. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it.

I'm not going to be much help there. I kinda just wing it at this point, I used to have spread sheets, big lists of chems ect.. now it's just dump a little of this and a little of that. I got a mix matched hodge podge of ferts laying around, several bottles of hydro nutes, some bottles of roots organics nutes, calmag ect. My soil outside looked pretty rich and sexy so assuming I won't have to fertilize much out there but I will have to watch coloration and stuff.

D3monic · May 29, 2015

Oh nice, got some unexpected seeds in the mail today from Justin. We had talked about doing an order from semillas but it was never finalized.. or so I thought. BAM surprise package in the mail today. Normally I hate surprises but this is one I can dig

Going to be hard to resist the urge to start some of them this year. ... I mean I can get pods to set indoors so why not right? lol

Photo Bomb!
