Huckleberry Hound (PurpleberryBX*TreStarDawg) by Chron Inc.

[DemonPigeon]

Got given these seeds to test by TonyGreenHand, of Chron Inc. I've got 15 (AND some of his Roxanne which look goreous btw, really dark, slightly shiny seeds) but I want to try some under different situations so I'm starting with just 3 in cloning plugs, because I think the fast draining and strong flexible material is a good choice for seeds as well as clones.

I'm using CFL bulbs placed so they can be adjusted as the plants grow,
total wattage 150W
lumen output ~9000 lumens

They're currently sharing space with two vietnam black clones, a mexican sativa seedling a friend needed to get rid of and two other indica seeds that were given to me by another ICmag member. I also have a white rose in there because it seems to do a good job of attracting rogue insects away from my green and onto nice big white petals (where they're obvious) that can then be sprayed

I want to do a proper test which is why I put them in with the others, so hopefully when I have something to photograph you guys can compare

They grow space is relatively small but I have space elsewhere once they get bigger. Very excited to see how they do, will let you know once they've sprouted

Looking forward to this DP, Can't wait to see what you can do with these genetics. No mention of what you planned on doing with them in your post, is it supposed to be kept secret? About 1/5 showed the trait you were looking for, so hopefully you get one out of the 3 your started! Good luck!

subbed for a pic

Hah that's a good point TGH thanks for the reminder

Well if any of this first test group show the non-serrated leaves then I'd like to take a couple of clones to preserve the original genotype then I'd like to cross the mother with another indica strain I just got that's prone to whorled phyllotaxy (putting out leaves and branches in groups of three or more rather than in pairs).

I'd also ideally like to breed two non-serrated plants (hopefully get both a male and a female somewhere in all those seeds) with the intention of raising the probability of non-serrated plants in the next generation then basically repeat this until I can get a near 100% non-serrated batch.

Long term I'd also like to cross this with other unusual leaf variants currently hoping to see the effect when combined with plants displaying webbed leaves and also what it'd look like with Black flowering colours.

My current webbed plants aren't actually that reliable, (they're all webbed but don't seem very vigorous, so I probably won't be using that seedbank again) hoping to get some different ones in from Wallyduck instead, if I'm lucky, his webbed plants always look beautiful.

 

[TonyGreenHand]

The purple berry used in both of your crosses carries that non serrated trait over. It would be very interesting to see someone work that non serrated trait into a line, although the majority of growth on plants showing the non serrations was retarded at best. I would expect you to find at least one female showing non serrations that doesn't have retarded bud growth .

This is a good example of the type of plant you are looking for from those, good luck on your hunt.

TGH

wow ive never seen a cannabis plant with no serrations like that before..

 

[DemonPigeon]

One query, bud growth retarded as in delayed or malformed?

Thanks for all the info btw. In some ways it's as important as the seeds

wow ive never seen a cannabis plant with no serrations like that before..

Yeah they're lovely looking plants


I'm hoping it'll be like with double serrations in strains, double serrated plants can occur from over fertilisation the same way non serrated can occur from under fertilisation but strains may also exhibit them as part of their usual growth.

Most unusual cannabis traits, especially those relating to coloured plants are usually the result of excess build up or deficiency of certain nutrients due to a plant not being able to utilise all of it causing build up or using more than usual causing decreased levels within the plant.

That's one of the reasons I've not just popped them all in, I think trying different growth mediums and suppliments could be important in terms of seeing what they like

I'm hoping after a few generations of selecting the strongest and maybe a little outcrossing I can get something worthwhile

That's a beautiful picture

Does Chron Inc. do much advertising? That'd look good on a poster, put it next to a skunk, a Haze and a japanese Maple and play spot the non-cannabacea ;-)

 

[TonyGreenHand]

The growth was more retarded by the meaning of the word, slow and malformed. I havent seen any yet that are non serrated and not malformed, but I havent seen a load of plants from this cross with that trait finished out. I'm sure that there would be a plant in the mix that will be healthy showing those traits if it is possible to do so.

I don't do much advertising at all for my genetics, but that is mostly due to me not feeling comfortable with my gear just yet. Both the Roxannes and the Huckleberry Hounds are in their testing phase still, but due to the deformities I highly doubt I would release them without re working them. You got a sneak peak into those, maybe when I have more strains I am confident in I will advertise some but until then the seeds will just stay among me, my friends and my testers.

 

[DemonPigeon]

Well it's nice to be in the priveledged few

I'll definately be in the queue when the shop opens ;-)

In the mean time here's hoping there's a few with nice buds on smooth edged plants

So far all I've got is little white roots ;-)
I always think they look like tadpoles... maybe I'm high

 

[TonyGreenHand]

I'll make sure to send you a gift package for helping me test these. If you have any more questions about anything, feel free to ask.

I was just in a garden today with those Roxannes in it, and one of the phenos was a large pink bud Vitamin D leaning pheno, If you are ok with it I will post pictures of those buds as they develop here so you know what you could expect.

 

[DemonPigeon]

That'd be awesome mate

Update: I placed a second batch of 4 seeds in soil, compared to the cloning plug and cocoa fiber batch they've grown more quickly upwards. Their cotyledon leaves are 4 inches from the grow mix rather than 2", I was very suprised at the difference... Until I realised these are roxanne not Huckleberry Hounds
at the moment they are currently looking a little top heavy.

Lost my camera but will post images as soon as possible

None of the 7 I've got going are showing smooth edged leaves but the original batch (of hounds) already smell lovely
Very good plants, very vigorous, fast growing with strong branching early on

 

[TonyGreenHand]

The mutations in the genes seem to show up about in 1:10 offspring. The other 9:10 are just regular old marijuana.

Here is a Huckleberry Hound grown by my friend Toad37

I think this is somewhere around 3 weeks.​

Here is a Roxanne grown by my friend RoofusthepotDoofus, the outside was green but the inside of the buds were pink and purple.

Hope some of your regulars come through for you and you find the freaks you're after.

 

[DemonPigeon]

They are beautiful tgh!
Yeah I'm for sure holding onto the regulars I've already started trying to take some clones from the best hound I've got so far, its twice the size of the other ones I'm not sure it's gender yet :-S but either way I'm holding onto those genetics ;-)
I'm not all about the freaks (Though I do love weirdness) ;-)

Those are awesome bud shots

My Huckleberry hounds and a 1-2 week younger "Bruised nuts" plant in the middle



Here's my favourite



and here's the bruised nuts just for anyone curious about Trifoliate (Whorled) plants

 

[GMT]

hehe, they've never seen coco before, nice to see them in a new environment. Needless to say, I'l be watching this one closely. Would be an interesting cross to see tri with no serations, esp if you also got them webbed, now that would be a stealth plant.

 

[DemonPigeon]

Someone sees the logic to my seed collection plan :-D

 

[TonyGreenHand]

Here is another shot of that same Huckleberry Hound grown by Toad37

Check out the fan leaves, they are cupping you see that? Some of the leaves on this plant had no serrations as well. These are the ones you are after.

 

[DemonPigeon]

That's very cool I love the colours will definately take a look for cupping plants!

 

[DemonPigeon]

Preliminary study inidcates no cuping :-(
