I defoliated them heavily to keep the humidity within an acceptable range. These are essentially tests of the genetics and a way to see how many males turn up

Time to sort
No.1 - male
No.2 - male
No.3 - male
No.4 - female
No.5 - female
No.6 - male
No.7 - male
No.8 - female
No.9 - female
No.10 - female
I will decide over the next few days which male I am going to keep

What will be the determining factor of the “keeper’s”

The first criterion is that it smells roughly like Kali Dog when you rub the stem, and the second criterion would be a pleasant-smelling blend of both parents

So you’re basically picking the one that has the desired smell, sounds like a good enough reason for me!
I like it what if you “can’t really tell” by smell alone?

Without conducting extensive scientific tests, it’s more a matter of experience—and a bit of a gamble

sounds good to me

Bud sites are beginning to form
I kept the male labeled number 1 because it comes closest to the Kali Dog in terms of smell
The five females now have enough space, even though I’ve added a Kali Dog to the mix which plant had already moved in last week. I’ll pollinate it with the ‘No. 1’ from the Kali Dog x Spice cross once it’s ready for pollination. All plants were watered with nematodes today as a precaution

Looking good , so, if I get it
the 
male plant 
is going to pollenate the other female 
plants 
, right

Almost right 
This time I’m only pollinating the Kali Dog
First, I’d like to see how the other females do.

A great blend of terpenes
The flowering stretch is almost over, and I’ll be harvesting pollen tomorrow from No.1
No.4 - In terms of aroma and resin production, it leans more towards the “spice” side
No.5 - In terms of aroma, it’s an almost identical copy of Kali Dog
No.8 - Smells like a lemon cream tartlet with gassy undertones towards the end
No.9 - In terms of aroma, it falls somewhere between the two, but exhibits more of a sativa-like growth pattern
No.10 - Smells almost identical to No. 5, but leans more towards the gassy side
No.1 and Kali Dog

The buds are stacking nice
They are 4 weeks into flower now
The Kali Dog was pollinated; the Kali Dog x Spice male was removed during the week after I had collected the pollen

Nothing big happened this week
Kali Dog x Spice 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10
The Kali Dog that I had pollinated with the Kali Dog x Spice #1

OoO i LOVE the structure of this genetic, are these all from seed or clone?!
Just noticed they are from seed!
Wow that apical dominance trait is really locked in!
This looks like a perfect genetic for the “SOG” method with its main stem dominance - 1/2 gallon pots, 12/12 light schedule from clone

I’ll call it Kali Spice when it’s finished
