now i finally have a comparison for a selfed F1, parent and child
looked completely different at their starts, but nearly identical at 23 days
leaf texture is even alike, a rough/dry kind of feel
1st pic is parent, 2nd is offspring
not bad, provided the hermie trait is the 1 thing that is different, i'll hold that thought

at 2 1/2 weeks of flower of this 'bastard' child
no hermie trait visible(knock wood) - the parent had shown the hermie trait at this point
and the parent had hermie flowers all over the place, in the buds, at the node junctions - so kind of interesting(to a pollen chucker anyways)

Interesting thread.

been there done that, several times LOL . still great potential to find a new mom but not so good for a profit run . as you prob will be culling some herms. my opinion now is i only keep the seeds if it was just from a few late nanners and there are very few seeds . if there are lots of balls then alot of seeds my bird gets it all

say hi

nice pic of bird in the grass
i'm taking my chances here, needed femme this grow
1 plant can get the tweezer treatment - just checked, still ball-less, so it's a good evening

3 1/2 weeks of flower - comparison time again
1st pic is the parent, 2nd pic is the offspring, both at same flower time
the parent did flower quicker, i think the child is a little more sativa in the bud
on the whole, pretty close in appearance, but child has no balls, and that is beautiful indeed

4 1/2 weeks of flower, and no male parts - slight smile is beginning
but a ways to go, still, this is way different from the hermie traits of the single parent
yet very similar in overall appearance, another minor genetic mystery
the offspring is showing some yellowing lower fans, but looks to be normal maturing

That's pretty cool that she's not showing balls all over the place! Interesting read. Good luck on the rest of the grow!!


p.s. Are you growing down inside a bucket?

i have a 150watt flowering closet hidden in the corner of my growroom....i use it to grow out potential hermies...

i had a bunch of hermie beans from an OG kush cross that i was growing....found some awesome phenos but they all hermed and it was viable pollen because they got seeded tough.

so i have those f2 seeds of the hermie as well as the f1 seeds i popped...i have no idea what to do with these because im only growing clone genetics right now..

im tempted to pop a few more and keep hitting her with reverse every week in flower or something...
