My girls are mostly in full flower now. There are a couple of the sativa dominate phenotype, which are just now starting to flower. The rest have been flowering about a week now, and are really starting to pack it on. The grasshoppers have been a constant pain it the ash, but they are still doing OK. O will be using some insecticidal soap today to get rid of some aphids, but other than that, the girls are doing great.
I am going to selectively pollinate the fast flowering plants, with pollen from an early flowering male I captured pollen from. This is my fifth year of inbreeding this strain, and I am looking to stablize it this year. I have gotten the strain down to 2 distinct phenotypes, and would like to inbreed it to one.
Have a great week

Well,
time for another update. The grasshoppers are still a pain, but they aren't munching my girls too bad, since I soaped them.
Here is a couple of pictures of a indica dominant phenotype.
And here is a pic of the more sativa dominant phenotype.
The indica phenotype probably has close to 5 weeks to go, and the more sativa phenotype will probably not finish until mid November.
I have pollinated the Indica phenotype with an early flowering males' pollen, and plan on using the same pollen on the sativa dominate phenotype. Hopefully I can shorten the flowering time on the sativa dominate phenotype, without losing the up high of the smoke.
Have a great week folks.

P.S. I have not used any nutes on any of these, just added molasses to my water. So far so good.
Just thought I would update, with a few pics.
I am about 3 weeks from chopping the Indica dominate phenotypes, and 8 more weeks for the Sativa dominate phenotypes.
Have a great weekend.
