I had tried to successfully grow at least 6 Blood Orange Diesel. Without enough phenotypes to choose from I have halved my chances of pollinating a good mother. So this round I will only pollinate slightly for samples. I will grow this cultivar again in a year or more when I have the time.

Six small fabric pots arranged in two rows of three. A humidifier in partially visible on the left of the image. Each pot has a cannabis plant, ranging from a tiny seedling to approximately 10" / 25.4 cm tall. The tallest plants are just beginning to flower.

The oldest 5/6 of these are type 3 hemp. It would be all of them, if I had better luck. I almost ran out of CBD seeds that germinated and added a freebie from North Atlantic Seed Company. 3x Blood Orange Diesel - High Alpine Genetics, Red Pure Auto CBD - Sweet Seeds, Purplematic CBD - RQS

I'm sorry I haven't been around for so long. The weather has been killing my seedlings and wasting my money. We had some work done on the house and I moved my small humidifier into the tent to get things stable. I'm not sure yet how stunted these are, round four of seeds.

A full view of a small cannabis plant in a reflective silver-lined growing tent. The plant has strong apical dominance with a central cola taller than all the rest. The plant is in full flower with a mix of white and withered orange pistils.

A close-up photo of a cannabis flower. The pistils are either still white and alive, or orange and withered. Trichomes are visible on the inner portions of the leaves and calyxes.

This is my first type 2 cross as I experiment with breeding. I've already collected pollen from a male that was more vigorous and much taller than this female. I have started 6x Hoku's "Alpha Sour" type 3 plants and the best will be pollinated with this type 2 pollen.

What kind of predators are in your area?

Four red strawberries arranged on a paper towel to dry. They each have their bright green leaves and a tiny bit of stem still attached.

Today's harvest. Our second late summer bloom is nearly over. I moved the indoor strawberries outside because they had bugs. Not pests, they weren't harming anything, just living in the soil. Well, they are back where they belong now.

#strawberries

I pollinated her with pollen I collected from the faster growing & maturing of two males I grew out of 304, a type 1 strain. It didn't have pink pistils on the females like the breeder claimed, but it is supposedly bred for pest and mold resistance.

A close-up photo of cannabis flower at full maturity. Several seeds are visible peeking out of their calyxes as they run out of room to grow. Some of the leaves have purple along their edges, but most are bright green.

CBD Auto Charlotte's Angel harvested on day 73. In the second photo you can see some of the mature type 2 seeds emerging from their calyxes. I had to hold her up with three bamboo stakes and a series of twine supports. She smells very much like sweet overripe fruit.

A mature cannabis plant. All of the main branches are leaning away from the center point towards the silvery floor and walls of the grow tent. Twine is barely visible in the center, connecting branches to each other for support.

A close up photo of a cannabis cola. It has some minor purpling around the edges of leaves and "foxtails" of erupting fresh white pistils. The rest of the older pistils have withered to orange.

CBD Auto Charlotte's Angel day 67. She's almost done and has begun to sag all around from the weight of her branches. She is stacking foxtails despite being far enough away from my lights to not be stressed. So far, the best yielding CBD autoflower I've grown.

#CBD #hemp #cannabis

A close up view of an immature cannabis flower. The leaves are bright green and the top of the flower is burst with white pistils. Some of the pistils have withered and turned orange after being pollinated. They lead to swollen calyxes. In the background more flowers and leaves are out of focus.

Charlotte's Angel - closeup of some early pollination sites that are now showing swollen calyxes with seeds forming inside. These will be type 2 seeds with roughly equal THCa and CBDa production. I plan to cross that F1 generation with another type 3 to make a type 2.5.

A cannabis plant in a fabric pot in front of a reflective silver background of a grow tent. The plant is 20" tall and mostly green with flowers just beginning to form. There are three tall central stalks.

CBD Auto Charlotte's Angel day 35. She surprised me by continuing to stretch to average size despite showing preflower so early. I've started pollinating a test branch for type 2 seeds.

Dutch Passion - CBD Auto Charlotte’s Angel. Unfortunately this girl started to preflower too early. This means she is likely to finish fast and stay small. I will be pollinating her with type 1 pollen when she is ready to produce some type 2 seeds.

Three strawberries laying side by side on a reflective surface. They each have short green stems and leaves, and are ripe and red.

Strawberries #5, 6, and 7 from the indoor plant. They are getting bigger as the plant gets bigger. I'm hoping this trend continues as the first fruits were disappointing in their size.

#gardening #strawberry

A strawberry plant with three flowers in the center of the photo. The two flowers on top still have their white petals, and the one on bottom has dropped its petals onto the leaf below. Some of the leaves have a purplish tinge to them.

A close up photo of three strawberry flowers that have been pollinated and have begun forming tiny green strawberries. The largest flower is being held in place by two fingers.

I've been hand pollinating the strawberry flowers, and it looks like I've been successful. You can see a little pollen dust next to the dropped withered petals in the first photo. The discoloration in the leaves is from the wrong PH level in my untreated Happy Frog soil.

I am looking for pollen for breeding projects, and there isn't enough autoflower pollen available on the market to begin with. I can make some sample seeds with purchased pollen, but for any real breeding I need to create my own.

I harvested Purplematic CBD at day 77. After eleven days or so of drying she will be ready to trim and cure. Unfortunately right now instead of starting another type 3 seed I am still trying to find at least one type 1 autoflower male from "regular" seed packs.

A top-down photo of a five gallon fabric pot full of soil with one live strawberry plant on the left side, and one brown and newly planted strawberry on the right side.

The weaker strawberry plant died and the stronger one is thriving. I tried planting a new one in the same place, but all my leftover plants seemed dried out and possibly dead already. I may need to order more, as it is almost time to plant outdoors.

#strawberries #gardening

A small cannabis plant in a reflective silver growing tent. The plant has dark purple, almost black flowers, and leaves that are fading to light green. Few white pistils are visible as the rest have withered already.

Purplematic CBD day 68. She's nearly done and I just need to check on trichomes over the coming days. I'm looking at this and other strains I'll grow in the future for potential partners to create type II seeds with.

A close up image of the soil in a fabric plant pot. Two green plants are visible, one on the left center, and one on the right center of the image. They have leaves with three blades and spiky edges.

I finally found a garden center that ships strawberries before Spring officially starts. I've got two planted in the tent and will maybe plant more outdoors. Patience pays off, the one on the right didn't look alive for days before it finally sprouted a green leaf.

A cannabis plant hanging upside down in a reflective silver growing tent. The plant has green leaves starting to fade to pale yellow. Most of the plant is dark purple flower.

Red Pure CBD Auto was ready to a little harvest earlier, but I let it fatten up to 76 days. Like a lot of autoflowers I've tried before, it started to foxtail at the end from the intense LED light. Not extremely pungent. A mild sweet fruity terpene profile.

A young cannabis plant in a fabric pot. The pot is labeled with a green rectangle of tape, "Purplematic". The plant is in preflower, and is lush with green leaves and only a few tiny flowers visible near the top.

A close up view of the stem of a cannabis plant. A cut and healed over branch of the stem is visible. Also prominent in the center are two purple calyxes with white pistils emerging from them.

Purplematic CBD. This is Royal Queen Seeds equivalent to Sweet Seeds Red Pure CBD Auto. The basic stats are the same, indica, CBD dominant, purple flowering, roughly 15-17% CBD. It will be a couple months before I know if I prefer one strain over the other.

An image of two fabric plant pots, with one barely visible on the right. The one on the left has a yellow and orange fungus growing from the bottom edge. Both pots are above black plastic drip trays.

Fungus grows faster than plants do. This hopefully beneficial fungi exploded in growth from the bottom side of my Purplematic CBD pot. My friend, the expert, says it looks like a crust fungus. I can smell the healthy mycelium, and it smells just like a mushroom growing bag when the soil is dry.

A cannabis plant with one main vertical stem and another smaller branch on the lower right. At each node up the stem where a pair of green leaves grows out, there is also a purple flower with white pistils emerging as well. The background is a reflective grow tent wall.

Side profile of cola formation. As these tiers of flowers stack on waves of growth, eventually they will merge together into a single "cola". At that point I won't be able to identify where each growth point begins and ends until later on when I'm trimming the flower away from the stems.
#cannabis

A cannabis plant with multiple flowers. Each flower has a dark purple center with white pistils. In the background is a reflective tent wall.

Red Pure CBD Auto day 44. Early in flower there is already a dramatic purpling of the flower and neighboring leaves. I'm looking forward to the clash of colors when she fills out.

How can anyone defend such a horrible person without looking inside themselves and seeing a reflection of what they must be, too.

On live TV before the nation, Trump just blamed the hiring of disabled people for the plane crash with absolute no evidence other than his own imagination. He literally called out blind people, those missing limbs, those with psychiatric issues as automatically incompetent in his eyes

#disability

A close up image of a cannabis stem branching off in four directions. Two vertical branches are bright green and the other two leaf branches are red. At the center of the image are two calyxes with one more visible on the opposite side. The calyxes are dark red with long white pistils snaking out.

Red Pure CBD Auto showing genetic traits already in preflower. The individual calyxes that grow on the main stem are dark red without needing lots of direct light to trigger the release of anthocyanins. In a couple weeks she will bloom with flowers the same color.
