Infection wise, some diseases only affect like 10% of the seeds, so unless you grew out at least 10-20 to completion I’d be hesitant to consider them clean.  When I believed one of my clones had caught a viroid, I didn’t take any risks and culled them all.  But that one had obvious issues, went from dense with strong raspberry jam terps to airy and a slight sweet smell.

Don’t get too cocky, Star Fox.    I did that with my first coco run, didn’t check the runoff at all until I started noticing burnt tips.  I had been feeding once a day at 900ppm, and when I finally checked the runoff it was too high for my meter to read. 

The important bit to remember is that it’s always better to underfeed than to overfeed.  Same goes for watering.

Well THERES your problem...the back of the bottles clearly states: feed every OTHER watering.....I can remain cocky 🤣

Before I started I read to water them then let them dry a bit before watering again, combine that with feed every other watering for the flower nutes....that's what ive been doing, and only watering to capacity so there is no runnoff and it seems to be working lol

Bottles are for wee babies, a real grower worth his salts uses… salts…

Coco is different than soil, you’re supposed to feed every watering, multiple times per day, to substantial runoff.  I’d wager keeping the feeds consistent at a diluted strength would be less stressful in soil than alternating nutes and water only, though probably not too big a deal either way as long as the salts aren’t accumulating. 

I’d imagine with fungal pathogens, two clean plants would produce clean offspring.  But there is always the risk of contaminated plants spreading the infection if grown along side those healthy ones.

Crossing your plant with an alien strain and Chocolate Nightmare should give some interesting results, and the cherry gar x sour diesel plus Kush Mountain mix sounds promising too. Fingers crossed you get plenty of females this round, but even if not, keeping the genetics going is the real win. Growing from seed always carries that risk with males showing up, but it’s part of the process. Clone mothers definitely help stabilize your lines, but either way, it sounds like you’re set for a productive season and some unique offspring.

Yeah im super excited. I have a lot of breeding plans but very limited space, it sucks having to do one at a time


I managed to pick up turbocharged feminized from solfire genetics (gastropop x gas guzzler) so that changes things, gonna run 1 of those, 1 ice cream cake, and then hopefully get a ufo male.


Im trying to start 3 ufo seeds right now so I can put them in my tent which is flowering and hopefully get a small male so I can aquire pollen before my next grow....

Bro, spirit, you realize you just responded to a clanker?
