Orange zkittles breeding project

[Franklin]

Haven't given an update for some time so here goes. My recent attempt to reverse the sour orange zkittles and the blueberry x strawberry cough x cotton candy started terribly. Several seeds died from damping off and the ones that survived grew poorly, twisted leaves, weird mottled spots. I ended up with one bbxscxcc and two sour Skittles surviving. I posted pictures on another forum looking for help and received tons of ideas but finally broke down and paid 40 bucks for a soil test from Amazon and it was the best thing I've ever done.

I've looked at a thousand nutrient deficiency charts but nothing beats good old science. Turns out I was slightly low on ph, very deficient in nitrogen, had excess potassium and phosphorous, and deficiencies in a few micro nutrients. Since I'm now all organic without bottles, I threw some blood meal in there for nitrogen, lime for ph, and watered with a little TM7 for micros. Within a week things started looking MUCH better.

I flipped to 12 a month ago, sprayed some branches with colloidal silver for two weeks, and here's how things are going. Looking pretty good! The bbxccxsc smells amazing, like blueberry candy. It's on the lower left. The two sour orange zkittles are just starting to get some smell, candy orange. I'm seeing some pollen so will be collecting that relatively soon.

The next breeding phase has begun. Several months ago I successfully reached the sour diesel x (orange barb x Skittles) cross that was a goal of this endeavor, now I'm working towards stability. Just planted a sour Skittles feminized seed to reverse so I can get a collection of pollen. Also planted three regular seeds from changeofpace2014 that are (cotton candy kush x strawberry cough) x blueberry (sounds fire, right?). Hoping at least one of these is female so I can reverse to collect feminized pollen. After this I'm running a sea of green with nine different plants to pollinate.

It looks fantastic.😍 I hope my mandarin Zkittlez comes out looking like that. I absolutely LOVE those orange and lemon citrusy buds. Best flavor and best highs. Especially when you have stuff to do.

f1 finished about 5 ft and 6 oz, the s1 finished just over 6ft and at least 8 0z have not weighed it yet but have 16 medium jars..

The little budlet from the F1 I cut off and tried to turn, is finally puttying out something resembling a normal leaf...have to post some ugly duckling pics!!

spray that b...with some peroxide...I used 1/2 and 1/2 with a 20 min soak, then rinsed with 1/4 : 1 solution - mold gone...dicked around with baking soda on the b.b.but ended up trashing a oz...so when I saw it start to spread to the os and my s.c cross I nailed them with the peroxide..yes it will remove some terps but not enough to remove the delicious smell..

That looks like a survival kit for a hippy. Wheres me pipe
