well 3 little ducks from the last 5 seeds, put outside, decimated by a slug. I found him. RIP slug. He chose those ducks from everything else, they was only 1 inch high and not even spread their baby leafs. One of them he bit through the stem and then had the top.

Gutted to put it mildly. Will there ever be ducksfoot released again??? please please please. Please don't tell me I had the last few seeds in the whole world.

I have tons of slugs here. Have you tried cheap beer in the garden? Garden slugs love beer. You drink half the can, lay the other half on its side in the garden with the opening up and the slugs smell it and every slug in the garden comes to the party. They crawl in, take a sip and fall into the beer and drown. LOL. Its cheap and it works.

I've tried it all, beer, upside down oranges, pellets (but stopped as didnt want to kill our frogs), hunting at night. They all do work to a point, but it only takes one determined slug, and he sure was, He touched nothing else..

The seeds weren't even in the garden but slug must have got into one of the plant pots which I then put in the greenhouse...

I think i'll have to try that nemaslug next and the sheeps wool pellets...

In the meantime if anyone can give me a headsup on ducksfoot that would be greatly appreciated!

Definately not the last holder of ducksfoot.. i was recently gifted some webbed ducksfoot indica dominant seeds many generations on from the original ducksfoot.. there are still members here which have it and that have bred there own ducks.. seek and you shall find

mr moon has been striking a few of late ,
we have a few different types ,, or sourced at least from different places etc ,,so will grow out what we have to see whats amongst it,

see what the future holds mr liteup ...

Good news from Mr Mallard and Joeski then. I have Hawaiian webbed indica x duck which I crossed with 3 male ducks (and lowryders and everything else I could think of) So I mustnt complain. Would just be nice to have pure ducks as well as I thought they looked more stealthy.


How can I, with a limited gene pool, ensure these HWIx DUCKs don't get so interbred it messes them up? I dont really understand breeding well. So far I have kept the pollination seperate so though they all had the same HWI x Duck mother, I know which duck male each seed was pollinated by

Ducksfoot is still alive.

I used ducksfoot in many of our first crosses and many are still around central cali and hope remain.

I do not have any pure cuts or seeds anymore though. It was fun but trying to breed the webbed trait into something else was more time consuming than I thought SO moved to the next projects.

A great plant and hope real seeds are made and made for the masses again someday.

I don't think a few generations of breeding those (hwi/duck)xduck crosses back to the ducksfoot side of things would hurt anything at all, but I'm not entirely sure when/how the webbed traits are passed. After a few generations, it's more stable and showing the traits you wanted. Might want to cross back to an original ducksfoot if you get ahold of one, though. This is assuming you don't have any room for moms, clones, etc. If you do, you can find a good mom or dad or both and go from there.

I also remember talk about doing a ducksfoot/lowryder cross at some point back when lowryder came out and everyone was dreaming up autoflower crosses, but I don't know if anyone ever did. Since you have a good start, you could always try that out, too. But breeding for two different traits will be a lot harder than trying to isolate one trait. Either way, hope you enjoy them. They sound like fun.
