Looks like some nice buds, how was the smoke?

Whose Blue Widow?

Could you describe your grow environment with the smoke report you might eventually post?

Thanks.

Smoke was not too shabby... it was my first real grow and I dried it a little too much besides for other problems during the grow.. I am currently growing this strain again and will do a smoke report when it is done...

The seeds were from Joey Weed, although he seems to have switched up the parents since I bought the seeds..

I grew that in a fish tank doing DWC with a 150w hps..

Ill put some more pics up..

How old were those when you chopped'em?

 

[PiffGuru]

Well that was one of the issues I was having... I didnt tie em down quick enough since I didnt have enough space for how the plants wanted to get.. So there was some burnage and the tops were foxtailing and didnt want to get orange hairs while a little lower on the plant the buds were lookin ready..

All in all I chopped em at 76 days flowering..

looks like a bad pheno doesnt it?

 

[PiffGuru]

Im still kinda in the dark on why people call certain plants a phenotype... phenotype is just the physical attributes that a creature/plant passes on from the genotype to my knowledge...

So would it b that if I had a plant that could turn purple and it doesnt does that mean that it isnt a phenotype... or if it is purple it is a phenotype..

If so I would have to say that the only thing bad about that plant was from me not the genetics of the plant..

nice

i'll try to clear it up a bit! phenotype is the word used to describe what genes are turned on in any individual organism.. in layman's terms genes are passed onto offspring and phenotype is which genes are expressed and also what happens as a result of the environment the organism is in (physical characteristics)... on the other hand, genes are passed on. a way to think of this is that if you chopped off a rats tail (please dont, rats have always been nice to me!) then that could be considered its phenotype, however it will not pass on this phenotypic characteristic (chopped tail) to its offspring.

So would it b that if I had a plant that could turn purple and it doesnt does that mean that it isnt a phenotype... or if it is purple it is a phenotype..
you just have the definition to phenotype confused mate! Any physical description is what we see to be its phenotype. a better example is with humans.. maybe your mom has blue eyes and your dad brown.. they most likely passed on genes to you that could lead your eyes to be brown OR blue.. your phenotype is whichever one of those actually happened.

in summary,
phenotype = observed physical characteristics
genetics = inherited genes which determine how an organism may grow

hope I helped clear this up

Well yes and no.. U cleared up the definition of the word.. but not why people call certain plants pheno's..

I always saw people saying that certain plants were phenotypes and they always seemed to be the best lookin of the bunch.. What you are saying leads me to believe that people should be saying like this is my lanky pheno or small pheno or we cause that is the trait it is portraying.. yet people just say that there plant is a pheno and nothing else..

It just seems to me from that explanation that every plant is a pheno in its own way and it is pointless to even say it is a pheno unless you are more specific about it.

Idk mayb Im over analyzing it..

I think you're right about people saying pheno alot, but people say phenos to distinguish between different possible plants of the same mother/father plant.

and YES you are right, you could say this is my lanky pheno or small pheno, but those two things are more determined from HOW you grew them and where the light was whether or not theyre short or tall.. but that is STILL part of their phenotype you are correct!

usually it's used when describing traits that people look for. I.e. some people like short indicas some like thinned out sativas etc etc.

So if i have a couple seeds (all from the same mother/father) and i plant all of them I will get different phenotypes, or phenos (just like if you have siblings they are different PHENOTYPES .. as long as your siblings are all from same mother and father). I may get a shorter indica looking pheno and a taller lankier sativa looking pheno from the same batch of seeds, but if I don't like indicas i might post on my journal "I chopped the indica looking pheno down because I want my mother to be the sativa"

Thx for tha reply on that... I wouldnt be describing my pheno's with things that I caused.. I would only be like this is my lemon smellin pheno or other things that would naturally distinguish tha plant from its sisters.. either way Its settled im my head..
