Wally's ducksfoot grown outdoor!

[Tropical]

...The taste, growth, high are all very different from what you find in almost all other types of cannabis. Very unique stuff...

Would you mind elaborating? I remember you from OG. I read many of your strain reviews there. I always like reading reviews from guys like you (and Lou too, I know you're reading this) who have tried many good strains for comparison.

So, tell me what makes Ducksfoot so different in "taste, growth, and high". Thanks.

They do look good Lou, but I've seen chunkier Ducks. I think the Duck needs a lot of light and warm/hot conditions. Maybe you're just a lil bit too far north for em to really fatten up?

I grew some Ducks F2s myself indoors a couple of years ago and they didn't really flower properly. I've got some Ducksfoot x Afghan f2s vegging as we speak ready to go outdoors in April.

What is the genetics of ducksfoot? Reason i ask is back in '02 i was given some free beans from a medical site that said it was Romulan x chemo. I did see the pics of the Mom and dad and it was Rom x chemo. This plant made some most unusual leaves. Excuse the pics, this was back in the day with a crappy camera.

sure looks like ducksfoot to me cheif , can occur from time to time a trait not seen often , however definately seen before ....

 

[Guest]

Chief's Ducks looks like Ducks to me, although a bit more indica in the way those top buds are forming, but that can be due to expression in different environments.

My Ducks looked great in veg indoors but then didn't flower properly:

 

[Guest]

YUP!

Them are Ducks,mine looked kinda indica too?
Plus it was a spring grow not summer so they
where kept very short that season...........

THe winter season here starts off cold from jan to march 1rst.
THEN THE HEAT HITS and they take off threw march till april!!
To me the growth was a bit slow comepared to skunks in the garden?
Tasted sweet/funky with a woody kinda harsh smoke i think....
This was 4 years ago?

 

[guest123]

hey lou maybe u should give them another go in the hot time of year and in the ground ,, they way prefer it there ... im gonna take a few snaps of some i have ripening now , poor things had over 300 mm of rain in the last week , but i know they are fine , and youll be surprised at them im sure ...

See this is why i asked the lineage of ducksfoot. I was given 10 beans in late '01 and all the pics with this trait from other people were from '00-'01 and called Rom x chemo. I grew 10 beans and most were normal leaves and some Plants had the funky leaf trait.....and it (atleast the beans i got) never was call ducksfoot. So when did ducksfoot come out?

see mine all had 3 fingered leaves that looked more like a maple leaf and the plant was always emerald green. here is a write up on Rom x chemo

So if Ducksfoot has romulan in it that is probably where it get's the funky leaf trait.

 

[Guest]

Ask Wally but i think the DUCK is pure?

No rom in it at all,the ones i grew where all
the same looking with the classic duckfoot leaf!!

THe ducksfoot was from way back in the OG days........
right Wally,hey i bet they do pretty good in rains with thier
leaves protecting from rain drops the inner buds!!!!
DUCKS do swim good haha...makes sence to me!!!!!
oh'im all out of seeds?....sorry...i may have a cross?

Pure? it's got to be made up of something of the 1000 something strains. I'm just trying to isolate what strain originally had the funky leaf trait. I would like to grow the original strain and at the time i thought it was either Romulan or Chemo. If wally knows of another strain i would like to look into it.
Better yet is this the same strain mix, just named differently from different people? I'm just totally confused by Rom x chemo and ducks foot. They are so similiar. Did someone take Ducksfoot seeds and name them as their own? surely you can see my confusion.

Found another grower report of romulan x chemo

Federation Seeds - Romulon x UBC Chemo

This is my Number 1 strain. I was given the seeds about 4 years ago by a medi grower from another growsite.

Breeders report says 9 weeks for flowering, but I like to let her go at least 12 weeks.

One Pheno has Ducksfoot shaped leaves, this is the most potent pheno, the one I keep a mother from. My mother of this plant is about 18 months old and has produced 100s of cuttings.

Every cutting I have ever done from this strain has taken.

It is virtually impossible to find the seeds on the Internet, especially from the breeder Federation Seeds.

From what I believe Federation Seeds no longer exist. UBC Chemo was developed by the UBC Institute for chemotherapy patients.

Plants I have grown of this have been anywhere between 2.5ft and 3.5ft depending upon length of time vegged.

Yield is always above average. The budz are a dark colour and the leaves are usually dark green.

She has green / red stems and is really pretty to look at.

She smells very hashy and you can taste the same when smoking here, she is my favourite strain.

I have tried other Romulon crosses and I have tried Pure Romulon. Nothing has even come close to the Romulon x UBC Chemo I am sure it is the UBC Chemo cross.

The smoke is totally amazing. I have smoked this with fellow growers and it has put them to sleep..... You can tell its a Indica and its definately a medi strain!

Couchlock is not the word! Its very heavy-hitting and can leave you watching the world go by for hours before you notice the time. Can make me forget about any kind of pain, and most other things as well.

A truly amazing plant and smoke it is by far my most favourite strain, I will always have some of this in my grow.

Sorry if this is thread jacking

I'm sure Rom x Chemo is in no way realted to Ducksfoot. Wally can clarify this but I'm fairly sure the Duck is a sativa that has been around in Oz for decades and was originally from SE Asia.

There are at least two other known webbed strains - Hawaiian Webbed Indica, which Wally has grown and Strawberry Web which is also from Hawaii. FlynHawyn has grown the SW and made a cross to Molok'ai Frost.

Tropical, well, it's been a while now, but I can sum the uniqueness of DF like this: I have tasted a lot of strains, and DF is just different than the others. How so? I know you want to know how it's different, but there's no way to adequately describe it, it's just different.

I believe a plant's smell can foretell the type of high you'll get from it. DF has a unique smell, and consequently, a unique head. I can't describe it, I wish I could. Careful outcrossing and incrossing projects would be interesting to see.

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

Thanks Hempire for bringing some clarity. I was not aware of other strains. Back when i grew the Rom x chemo i lost that certain funky leaf pheno and have searched to obtain that type of plant again. I had always seen grows in the past of Ducksfoot, and i mistakenly thought people were calling Rom x chemo- Ducksfoot because of it's characteristic. Then after this thread i see ducksfoot is an actual strain so i was really confused as to what strain i should look for. So Ducksfoot is mainly sativa and i'm looking for mainly indica

 

[Guest]

The Hawaiian Webbed indica maybe more of what you're looking for Chief, it's an indica. I believe Wally released some crosses.

 

[guest123]

there was another chap that had some webbed plants at a canna site , brownoutcondition was his name i think .. they were unrelated to ducksfoot , just a cross of some strains that produced some webbed leafed plants ..
i grew some of them , they were pretty cool ,, kinda reminded me of calio orange flavour a bit ..
its just a trait that happens from time to time ...
something i regret a lot is not keeping the plants that had normal leaf pattern amongst the ducksfoot i first grew , they were real beauties ..
i still grow ducksfoot and a cross of it and the hawaiian web is amongst the stock i grow at my patch , its something id always keep in there as it gets the tightest buds and grows extremely fast ...
nice to see some interest in the webbed varieties ..
thanks for opening up the topic for discussion lou ..
give those duck crosses a go ,, it makes a great cross ....

just so u know cheif , the webbed variety i have i got from australia , not from a seed bank or anywhere close .. im pretty sure it came from hawaii , and from what the guys tell me , a few ive spoken too from there , there was a couple of varieties of webbed plants , one was more like my sativery ducksfoot , and the other the shorter indica like type ...

 

[Guest]

I've still got some Ducksfoot x C99 beans in my stash, I made em a coupla years back and never got round to growing em out. The Ducksfoot x Afghan f2s I have going now are looking interesting, 2 or 3 of them look like they are gonna be webbed once they get twhat would be their 5-bladed leaves from the 3rd node, the 3-bladed leaves at the second node are kinda webbed/funky lookin

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

What is the Hawaiian webbed indica like as far as yield? Yeah i crossed one of the funky leaf phenos to a WW i grew for years and i came out with one pheno that looked like a WW and the other had the funky leaf but more resin. I called that cross Amnesia and about the same time Soma came out with his Amnesia. I lost all of it and regret it to this day. I'll have to did up a pic if i can find it.
