lol the breeder has seen your message from what I have been told this strain will no longer be available. It's very difficult to keep the linage stable. If Im wrong please correct me

[medmaker420]

I have used the ducksfoot in many crosses of mine, the leaf trait is a bitch to nail down but not impossible. Really cool looking during veg but other than that there really is no reason for them.

Yield was so so but the smells were nice and the overall high was more up than down. Main reason to have it around is the same reason you have autoflowering strains, more fun than actually productive.

I would tend to agree with that also I believe it was more of a novelty

A few months back i was speaking to a person who helped along with the ducksfoot breeding trails around 10 yrs ago ... amazingly they still had a clone from then , as well as a few seeds once removed from the original ..
I havent been in a position to take advantage of such finds , but have entrused the clone to my good friend moon unit , who i think is a competant breeder , having tested many of his strains .

In the future we hope to be able to re release the ducksfoot line, with some improvements and a few variations on the line ..

Other than the leaf shape , there were other traits the strain had that i found very pleasing ..

thanks for your interest and input guys ...

This is not a troll or am I looking for argument. I do wish to comment that different people have different needs and Ducks foot and Autos do fill that need.

I disagree a bit on no use for it in flower. It's outline is a bit rougher than normal weed. Slightly different. Weed is not easy to see in the woods. A little change in the outline could throw off a humans pattern recognition for weed. As for veg. I think most would walk right by it. The smoke is good too.
As for autoflowering the same. If your crop is in by August you avoid most of the helicopters. The potency is not a problem for the auto flowers I have and yield is coming. I have a Early Wonder Skunk x Auto Affie that looks like it will yield well and the potency is good.
The main reason I posted was to ask a question, if you can excuse my impertinence. I'm crossing Ducks with autos. How long with a normal strain or how many generations does it take to find the Duck structure in your experience?

I belive this was discontinued due to not being able to keep the webbed leaf trait stable in the line. Maybe he will chime in and give his take on it. We all have our opinions and and I did not think this strain was anything special except for the webbed leaf and if that cant be or is extremely difficult to stabilize then its not worth the effort.

On the contrary hammerhead , eventually it was due to legal trouble that caused me to discontinue the line ,, there was some problems with the line that i was not able to iron out properly ,, mostly it was not suited for indoor or further than 40 degress lat outdoors ,, there was quite a bit of variance that i was not happy with ,,
honestly i didnt think the line i produced in seed form represented the ducksfoot strain as well as id like it too ,some grows i saw were as id like but many were not , im pretty sure im not the only guy to admit that where cannabis breeding goes ,, variability is huge and nailing it down isnt easy ..
however maintaining webbed leaf is easy , just cross a male webbed plant with a female webbed plant and bingo there it is

As far as potency goes , taste , quality of high ,, i wasnt a virgin cannabis smoker when i first smoked ducksfoot and i know a good smoke when i smoke it .. Ducksfoot has a very unique smell ,, very strong and distinctive ,, the first samples i grew overpowered skunk plants in smell , in fact all the strains i grew came no where near the overpowering smell of the ducksfoot ,,
the taste was excellent , very lasting ,, i could lick my lips half an hour after toking some and still taste that sweet dankness
the high ,, mmmm so happy soo smiley ,, i mean what other reason is there to get high that to put a happy smile on your dial with that euphoric blissfull feeling ,, ducksfoot had all that in bounding amounts ...\
Nope the webbed leaf trait was just a bonus ,, it was the rest of the traits that attracted me ... did i meantion the pink pistils it had???

Great looking photo DM, many thanks for the added thoughts into the back breeding of the strain. Any plans from moon to cross the clone with his zoid line ?

[RollmeoneKenobi]

Thanks for the clarification DM!
