given the amount of seeds struck of t his variety ,
(myself alone 120 mbs plants)
we will certainly see the broadest spectrum we can of this strain ,
once we are all done and info in ,,
im sure it will be fully debunked .. lol ...
again much thanks for your keen eye and gardening skills mr paulo ..
and best of luck with all remaining , lets hope we dont have to toss the suspect plant and it decides what it would prefer to be...

What will be will be, no worries whatsoever.
I´m gonna use the tweezers again later on just to grab any small ball that escaped my Friday session. And i´m gonna have a serious conversation with the unsure girl...

Hi paulo m8
Firstly my appologies for the intersex plant, and ty for bringing it to our attention. This is what testing is about, a public test of the good the bad and the ugly of the line being tested.
I see alot of testers and customers being jumped on and trolled for having intersex traits pop up, but it my eyes the blame is always the responsibility of the breeder, always. No light leak , stress yadda yadda excuses changes that fact ever, and i know you are a high calibre of grower anyways m8, so again i appologise and ty for testing for us.
Its been a long road for us trying to get the outdoor long flower sativa qualities into hybrids that will perform in indoor enviroments all over the world, and its a tough road we still tread, but we move forward reguardless of the difficulties of achieving our goals, and we thank those on this journey with us for putting up with hiccups like this.
Now back onto the mbs2 line more specificaly. With the knowledge we have thanks to paulo, we will be on the lookout, and a criteria developed to judge the level of intersex instances within the mbs2 line. If it is a rare thing, as i have heard of happening even in the lines of the most repuatable breeders, there is a good chance the mbs2 line will be released still, with a warning of course.
If the instances of the intersex expression move beyond rare, a new father will be tested and we will see if mbs3 passes our testing for release in a year or 2. This is just my opinon and will have to have some long discussions with Don though
Hopefully its a rare expression and i hope it hasnt caused to much of a problem within your garden paulo m8.
Also i would like to state that anyone with any probs with any of our lines please dont hessitate to post them up, we will never troll anyone for it, feel bad or have any probs with it and actualy welcome it, encourage it even as it moves us forward, and is the actual point of testing.
Oh and other than the few balls, looking lovely paulo m8, ty and again sorry for the unexpected hiccup.
Much respect
Moonunit

Thanks moonunit and you don´t need to apologize in any way.
This is a test grow and the purpose of any test is to raise unexpected issues, so it´s all good my friend.
I must confess i´m a bit gobsmacked by your honesty and upfront character. It´s not usual my dear and you´ve just won a all time tester of your genetics just due to that.
In times where many breeders think the world of themselves is so refreshing to see someone so well grounded and humble. Impressive and worthy of notice and praise!
I will keep everyone update, even yesterday i caught another little ball that escaped the previous inspection.
Everything else is looking spot on and in no time another MBS and 2 Z99s will be added to the Wizards side of the grow.
Thanks again moonunit!

Hi there guys.
Time for an update on testing front.
The intersex one is showing some really wicked traits.
On my last inspection i caught two ball already open and guess what was coming out from the inside of it...a pair of pistils and at the same time the usual male ball formation was happening but no pollen to be found yet. A very curious plant showing some intense tendency to self propagate.
At the time i only had my phone so the shots are very bad, sorry for that
MBS#1 intersex


A immature ball


Looking good anyway

Take care guys

[paulo73]

Now is time for a problem free MBS
MBS#2 no topping , fimming or LSTing on this girl, just plenty of space to grow, lummens and water.




Quick question, are the reddish leaf stems a sign of malnutrition? Or any other easy solving issue?


She looks quite good anyhow


We also got a Z99 girl and another male that is going to be culled today.
Z99 shots to come any day soon.

Your MBS's look great Paulo.With a lil luck you might get a couple of random seeds for another time off that boy girl.
Mine are smelling good right now.I bet yours are too.

[paulo73]

Thanks for the kind words pine boy.
I will not use any seeds coming from the thai boy.
I´d rather find&keep a male than starting to work a new genetic line right on the intersex trait. I don´t even think that would do any good for the guys at Wizards of Oz
But i got your idea and will never know what i could have found in those
Mines are now starting to smell quite good. Later on i will try to identify their smell a bit better.
Happy Saturday to all.

those reddish stems are normal paulo.... dont see anything wrong there!
