I agree with rocky top high. Keep a grow journal so you can keep an eye on each strain as far as nute feeding. So far I have had no problems. The Journal helps out alot. I am a stoner and do tend to forget things. LOL Here is a link to a journal that I use. Just open the thread and the link to the journal is in the first post. Good Luck Growing.
GrowinBigRed Active Member. It is a list of the traits you see in a plant. For example, you may have a strain with a short phenotype. They are similar to the traits kids get from their parents, and every child is a different phenotype. For example, if both your parents are tall, you are likely also to be tall. However, if you have one short and one tall parent, you could be tall or short, and your siblings could be much taller or shorter than you.
Unstabilized strains often carry several phenotypes, meaning that two plants of the same strain are likely to exhibit different traits. Stabilized strains display the same phenotype, which means plants of the same strain will grow in the same way. You can achieve this by manipulating your genetic stock through breeding and back-crossing.
Eventually, you end up with parents that consistently produce offspring that grow the same. It is essentially cloning in seed form. Back-crossing involves taking a plant and crossing it with one of its parents or a close family member. This inbreeding helps create offspring with genetic similarities to the chosen parent. A clone of a plant is a genetic copy of the original and will grow the same when exposed to the same environmental conditions.
However, despite being a clone, the plant will NOT grow the same way if you expose it to different conditions to what the original plant grew in. Hopefully, you now have a better idea of what crossbreeding entails and the likely outcomes.
The first step is to choose your female and male plants. When choosing a female, simply grow your weed as usual, and if a female plant has nice fat buds, grows well, and is generally healthy, keep it. Finding ideal male plants is less straightforward. Eventually, you will find a male plant that offers desirable traits to the offspring.
Once you have the male and female plants, keep them separate during the growing process. Always ensure that males are separated from females as soon as the small pollen sacs on males their pre-flowers show. Otherwise, the males will pollinate the females, and you end up with unknown genetics. When the pollen sacs are well developed, begin collecting the pollen. An easy method is to place an open Ziplock bag around the stem and shake it. The pollen will fall off and go into the bag. Make sure you use it within a month.
Also, make sure you shower and change clothes after visiting the males because pollen sticks to everything! The females are ready for pollination a few weeks after displaying signs of white pistils.
There will probably be buds forming at that stage. The pistils should still be white they begin to turn a red or brown color when harvest time approaches. A few weeks after displaying signs of white pistils, female plants are ready for pollination. This leads to competition for space and nutrients which affects yield. Harvest times: The grower should expect different harvest times as indicas are bound to flower faster than sativas whereas hybrids have similar flowering times.
This means the grower has to be used to the concept of harvesting in shifts based on the requirements of the strains present. Please log-in or register to post a comment. Posted by: Joseph Billions on Friday Jul 10, The Pros and Cons of growing multiple strains in the same grow room Growing cannabis requires taking a lot of factors into consideration beginning with where to grow, either indoors or outdoors as there are benefits on both sides.
Pros The upsides of growing different strains of cannabis in the same grow room includes; Variety: The increase in the number of varieties that results from growing different strains together is one of the major benefits of growing different strains in the same grow room. Cons Nothing in life is all positives, and growing different strains of cannabis in the same grow room is not an exception. They include; Physical effort: The process of growing different strains of cannabis in the same grow room is bound to be labor-intensive and physically demanding.
This leads to competition for space and nutrients which affects yield Harvest times: The grower should expect different harvest times as indicas are bound to flower faster than sativas whereas hybrids have similar flowering times. A variant of that tactic is to synchronistically grow different strains from the one cannabis category.
Only you can decide how many cannabis strains you can ably grow together for each grow season. I require variety and continue to grow from seed, not just clone. I grow several seed strains in two of my four grow ops per year, and a uniform clone crop in the other two seasons. I hope variety soon becomes the spice of your cannabis grow rooms, too. I geek out over every element of cultivation, from the science of growing to how the ways in which you cultivate particular strains can….
