How I Phenohunt:
(1/10): I start by germinating seeds in water and peroxide using the float tech. Then I plant and veg the seeds into mothers for a minimum of 8 weeks before taking clones. I do this to make sure plants are mature when clones are taken.
(2/10) (3/10): I clone every pheno twice and make sure to label them correctly. In this case we started with 110 seeds so 220 clones were taken. One clone of each phenos will serve as a back up mother during the whole hunt and the other one will be flowered for phenohunting and testing.
(4/10): All phenos are transplanted and veg for a few days before flipping to 12/12. At this point the back up moms will be separated in the mother room until we find the potential winners. Again, make sure you have a back up of every phenos.
(5/10): I keep the mother plants from seeds in veg until the clones are all confirmed rooted and then I use them for s*xing and stress testing by putting them in flowering mode. I use this step to s*x the males and remove them from the back up mothers.
(6/10): I use this opportunity to stress test the mother plants from seeds that will go in the compost soon anyways. I will under feed them, over and under water, give them too much light, run higher temps and play with the light cycle. This is in hope of spotting the potential herms before the proper hunt is flowering and learning more about each phenos.
(7/10): Find the herms and make sure to note the problematic phenos if there are some. You can chose to not take the risk of flowering those phenos at this point.
(8/10): I flip the proper hunt in flower and try to keep them all happy and in perfect health to have a good representation of each phenos.
(9/10): Take notes, watch them grow and smell them often. Try to spot the ones you like before the harvest.
(10/10): Before I harvest, I like to jar test for hash potential every pheno that I think could be a good one. Then I can decide if test washing the plant is worth it or not and if we ha
