They have also been topped and had the lower branches sacrificed to the clone gawds.

Maybe a better shot of the 3 of them?

Three boys. Pollination on the agenda perhaps ?

I was hoping to slide that one by 3 so far.
We may amass a few more on the way, but I would never say that in polite conversation.

very handsome bunch of boys there
if you top the ratty looking vbxr will you potup?
as an outdoor grower i'm a big fan of lateralgrowth.

I just wish we could have preserved it intact

I read at another forum where Subcool stated that although he bred them and sold some packs of the Black Russian he didn't like it
In that same thread a guy posted he was starting some F3s so there is hope still.
I wish we could have got our hands on some of his to see the difference other than the taste, which he stated was terrible.
Ours has a floral taste and smell... most of them. The male we have in waiting also has that same aroma when the stem is rubbed.

I have heard there will be a limited release of our cross this summer

Iron
Iron is a vital element for plant and animal life. Iron has a number of important functions in the overall metabolism of the plant and is essential
for the synthesis of chlorophyll.
In general, iron is poorly absorbed by the plant.
It can only be sufficiently taken up by the roots in certain forms and under proper conditions.
Soil seldom contains too little iron, but it is possible that forms of iron that can be absorbed by the plant are lacking.
The absorbency of iron is strongly dependent on the pH.
Ordinarily there is sufficient iron present in absorbable form in acidic soils.

Marijuana is very efficient with the absorption of iron, and under normal conditions, it has little trouble with iron deficiencies.
Except during periods of heavy growth, or high plant stress, iron deficiency symptoms can temporarily appear that eventually go away by themselves. These symptoms are not detrimental to the yield.
An iron deficiency is characterised by a strong yellowing of the young leaves and the growth shoots between the veins.
This occurs chiefly because iron is not mobile in the plant.
The young leaves can’t draw any iron from the older leaves.
With a serious iron shortage, the older leaves and the smaller veins in the leaf can also turn yellow.

- Green/yellow chlorosis, from inside to the outside in the younger leaves
and in the growth shoots.
The veins remain mostly green.
- Continued yellowing of the leaves to sometimes almost white.
Also, large leaves turn yellow.
This inhibits growth.
- In serious cases the leaves show necrosis, and the plant’s growth and
flowering are inhibited.

Possible cause can include:
- The pH in the root environment is too high (pH> 6,5).
- The root environment contains a lot of zinc and/or manganese.
- The concentration of iron is too low in the root environment.
- The root temperature is low.
- The root medium is too wet, causing the oxygen supply in the roots to
stagnate.
- The root system functions inefficiently due to damaged, infected or dead
roots.
- There is too much light on the nutrition tank; light promotes the growth of
algae. Algae also use up the iron and break down iron chelates.

What can you do?
Light iron deficiency symptoms are rather easily reversible.
Depending on the origin, a shortage can be corrected by various means.
The pH can be lowered, excessive manganese or zinc fertilisation can be avoided.
Iron chelates can be added to the substrate, drainage can be improved or the ground temperature can be increased.
If a good fertiliser is used with hydroponic growing, an iron deficiency is almost out of the question.
A fertiliser with a good composition contains sufficient iron in a form that the plant can absorb.
A high iron content in the soil does not damage the plant, but it interferes with the uptake of phosphorous.

Phosphorus plays an important role for all living organisms and is an essential nutrient element for plants and animals.
It has a key position in the combustion processes of the cell, and in the total energy transfer of the plant.
It is also a “building block” of the cell walls, the DNA, and all sorts of proteins and enzymes.
The largest concentrations of phosphorus are found in the developing
parts of the plant. The roots, the growth shoots and the vascular tissue.

Deficiency...
At first, the plant becomes dark green... a different sort of dark green (blue/green) as appears when there is a shortage of potassium.
The growth in height, and the development of the plant’s side shoots
are inhibited.
After 2 to 3 weeks, dark purple/black necrotic spots appear on the old
and medium-old leaves, making the leaves malformed.
The purple/black necroses expand to the leaf’s stem. The leaf turns, curls considerably and dies off.
A plant with a phosphorus deficiency is characterized by its small size and typical purple/black patches.

Too much phosphorous can cause various undesirable side effects, such as zinc, copper and
magnesium deficiencies.

I mentioned our Boy that was over 7 weeks in flower and then placed back in veg.
I also stated I would post a picture.
Trouble being I forget where that thread is, whose it is and even ifit is indeed at this forum
So I post it here by default.

Keep in mind there have been a lot of clones taken from this poor little guy
Smells floral, gotta luv it.

Magnesium is an indispensable element for plants, humans and animals.
In plants, it represents a building block for chlorophyll. Therefore, it is essential for photosynthesis.
At the same time, magnesium plays an important role in the energy transfer of the plant.

In plants, magnesium is mobile.
When there is a shortage, the leaf-green in the medium-old leaves under the flowering top will be broken up, and the magnesium will be transported into the young parts of the plant.
This breakdown is visible as rusty brown spots and/or vague, cloudy, yellow spots between the veins.
Magnesium is difficult to remove from older leaves.
Apparently, it is bound too tightly within the organic material.
A slight shortage of magnesium hardly affects flowering, although the development of the flowers makes the deficiency symptoms worse.

Magnesium shortages appear relatively more often than other deficiency diseases.
A magnesium shortage can also occur due to other causes, even when the quantity in the root environment is normal or excessive.
This happens because the magnesium uptake is inhibited by all sorts of other causes, such as
- A very wet, cold5) and/or acidic root environment.
- A high quantity of potassium, ammonia and/or calcium (for instance high concentrations of calcium carbonate in drinking water, or clay
soils rich in calcium) in comparison with the quantity of magnesium.
- A limited root system and heavy plant demands.
- A high EC in the growing medium, which hinders evaporation.

As a preventative measure apply fertilizers containing magnesium.
As a curative measure spray with Epsom salts.
Check the temperature, the humidity, the EC and the pH of the growing medium.
A fertiliser with the correct composition will contain the right quantity of magnesium.
When a shortage is diagnosed, the best thing to do is spray with a solution of
1 teaspoon epson per 1 gallon of water.
Same mixture for feeding.
(always dissolve Epsom salts in a bit of hot water before adding to the gallon.)
In soil, when the pH is too low, less than 5 use calcium fertilisers containing magnesium.
In hydro, temporarily apply a nutrient solution with a higher pH, 6.5.
When the EC is too high, rinse and/or temporarily feed with drinking water only.
When growing indoors, keep the root temperature above 19 degrees C, 20-25 F.
A little extra magnesium is not particularly harmful.
Too much magnesium inhibits the uptake of calcium, and the plant displays general symptoms of stunted growth, and dark-coloured vegetation.

OK, the Viet black x Romulan are 40 days in flower. I like em
These are my favorite in flower right now. OK we don't have much in there really, but still
They don't look as far along as the Cotton Candy are so I am working under the assumption that they will go some longer
Good thing I have a lot of patience

These are going to make some nice bushes when the clones go into flower I am betting.
Here are the 3 of them together. I know, suckers are short .



We are real low on weed and have been rushing the veg time a bit LOL
We'll make the clones lots larger before we flower them

Here is #2



#6...
