NL5xHindu Kush Breeding project

actually those stinkies yo have are third generation, If you were to pick a good male from the third generation, you might be able to get a decent (hermie free) fourth generation. A fourth generation is one of the best generations, providing it was done right. Stinky has had a few mistakes in her past, she is my first labor of love after all.
But the smoke is well worth growing, and the smell in flower is darned near addictive.
Undescribable Is the best description i have gotten! L.O.L.
Look here's what i do, find a place outside, like a bush you can hollow out a spot in- somewhere you can keep a male growing- without pollenating the females in the budroom. Grow a choice male or two outside long enough to collect a bit of pollen from it. Save it in a jar- with the lid off for the first couple weeks or it will mold. Use it with a paintbrush or q tip to brush on a couple small buds and selective breed a few seeds.
Thats how i started makin beans,in a greenhouse in the 80's..
But we'll see how ya do with her, and I just might be able to find something you would like every bit as much as the nlkush.
This afghani, the "g-13" comes to mind. But play with something else first to get the hang of it. These g-13's are going to come with a condition to be re-made pure before any hybrids are made from them....
Unless someone already had them of course....

 

man too bad you didnt post this yesterday. i think i found my last male, and i chopped it down..............i've got 4 remaining plants. 2 are known females and the other 2 are unknown. i will keep a male and make some more 4 gen seeds as you say..........good idea, ill keep you posted on how these babbies grow.......they smell....lol

 

and the side branching......

 

I might have some third gen pollen from the "humm" pheno, if those other two turn female.
If you get a male now, more than likely it would be one I would suggest using anyways.. The first ones to show sign, and especially the autoflowering ones (males turning to flower on 18/6) are going to be potential negative fathers- and should be removed/destroyed in almost any breeding project....
the later flowering males tend to be less "hempy", among other things...
also,autoflowering males could introduce hermie traits, as well as early flowering ones.

 

BTW
Nice job with the stinkies, they look fantastic!

 

well 3 are known fems, the smaller one is the only one that hasnt shown yet.

 

I have a couple of the fourth gen going, a test really. But they are getting around two foot tall. Both appear to be female,but I haven't checked too closely.
So i guess they will go into 12/12 soon, or they will get too big for my little room.

 

same as me i have 3 fems and 1 turned out t be a hermie so i cut it, if it was just a plain male i was going to keep it, but i didnt think the hermie traits woudl be good to seeds a plant with?? here they are from last night......

 

the two girls on the right are roughly 2 ft and the baby on the left of those is about 16 in. and the one on the far left is no longer alive.....

 

from today.......

 

Looking nice.
stinky crosses with sour diesel quite nicely, I have found.....
My best cross to date actually- the smoke is stronger than SD with a few nuances that make it A "perfect combination of mind/body"
But Back to this thread.
The NLxkush seedlings are looking nice and just got "fish" again.
I might just make a new fertilizer rule of biblical proportions.
You know the rule of the jewish clan right?
"fish on fridays"
Might just have to make that a "rule of veg" soon.
"fish emulsion every friday"
But im gonna try to get pics up sometime this weekend- Of the NLxKUSH 3rd generation
seedlings. Which of course completes this stage of the project.
Testing the progeny......(offspring) The NLx5xKush is a total treat to work with. She grows very vigorously- with immensely fast/huge rooting factors in play as well.
She loves nutes, and grows like a weed- or maybe more like weed should.
It was both a priveledge and immense pleasure to be able to work with this strain.I can only hope i have done it justice at this point.
The true test will be when the person who made her to begin with, does his test run.
Im anxious to see how they do for him.
Mine are being sexed now- due to the big move recently.
tiedye

 

tomorrow will be 7 weeks into flowering, i think they are going to be chopped on the 22nd......

 

heres the smallest of the girls she will be chopped as well on the 22nd.

 

and heres the biggest of the bunch (even though in the pic it dont look like, but it is) she is about a week behind the other girls on resin development, so i think i am going to wait untill the 30th for this girl.....

 

Looking nice.
Thinking of strarting some Kush theres a few out there though i.e Master, Hindu etc, which would you recommend. Also I generally get Nirvanas strains as there a bit cheaper is there Kush ok. Do any of the companies do a nl/kush cross .

 

i have grown kush before, very good smoke i'd say a couch lock kinda high, 4 bong rips and i was down for the count......i grew out Hindu Kush so thats what i woudl reccommend......

 

new pics......

 

nice frosty nug

 

so they just grew in your room without you having any lights or what

 

lmao... magic, obviously.
