Hi folks

I have three lovely Ducksfoot vegging at the moment. I would like to make some crosses and have some questions:

1. How stable is Ducksfoot? It seems a very consistent strain from the three I have, they are all identical pretty much, one is a bit lankier, but I suspect that one is male rather than a different pheno.

2. Is the webbed trait recessive? What are the chances of seeing the webbed trait in individuals from the F1 generation?

3. I live at 53N, which is probably too far north for Ducksfoot so I want to cross the Duck to an early outdoor variety to reduce flowering time, is the Duck mould resistant or should I make sure I cross it to a mould resistant strain?

I have two goals, one is to reduce the flowering time of the Duck so it can be grown successfully outdoors in the UK at 53N, the other is to make a purple Duck for added stealth. Where I live there are nettles that produce pruple floral clusters and have purple stems, Ducksfoot leaves look a lot like nettle leaves and apart from nettles not have side branches from their nodes, they look a lot like cannabis. There are big patches of nettles everywhere here so I would like to plant a few Ducks in the nettle patches, perfect camouflage and thieves aren't too likely to wade through stinging nettles to check if a suspicious plant is actually cannabis.

Has anyone ever tried a Ducksfoot cross? Any feedback and advice is much appreciated.

1. How stable is Ducksfoot? It seems a very consistent strain from the three I have, they are all identical pretty much, one is a bit lankier, but I suspect that one is male rather than a different pheno

it is very stable , i tried to keep to consistancy as much as was possible ...

2. Is the webbed trait recessive? What are the chances of seeing the webbed trait in individuals from the F1 generation?

yes it is a recessive trait , and unless u cross with another plant that has some in it already , then u will not see any more webbed plants until the f2 generation ...

3. I live at 53N, which is probably too far north for Ducksfoot so I want to cross the Duck to an early outdoor variety to reduce flowering time, is the Duck mould resistant or should I make sure I cross it to a mould resistant strain?

yes it is mould resistant , and can tolerate a lot of rain before reacting to it ,, with t his in mind still keep your area clear of foliage etc , or lack of ventilation will eventually cause mould ....

good luck with your project , hope that flowering time comes down for u .. cheers wally ...
] oh purple ducks , yes i hav e seen a few ...

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions wally, much appreciated.

Are those purple Ducks crosses with something else or rare phenos of the Duck itself?

That third pic is beautiful, that is what I am aiming for, a purple Duck, highly, highly, stealth.

Supposing I did a cross of Ducksfoot to Purple #1, do you think it would be better to look for webbed individuals in the F2s or backcross purple F1s to the Duck? Maybe the best way would be to look for webbed individuals in the F2s with purple colours and then backcross?

hey wally, any plans to breed purple ducks yourself?

I've identified a Ducksfoot male to pollinate a Purple Rhino lady I keep in clone form. The Purple Rhino originated as a rare purple pheno of Nirvana's White Rhino and was developed and inbred by a friend into a stable purple. The yield and bud density of the Purple Rhino are excellent and it is ready in 45 days so I think it will make a nice blend with the Duck.

sounds promising, please share once stable! :-)

I surely will, the purple trait should appear in some of the F1s but to get the webbed trait I'll havee to do a fair bit more work.

the 3LB did a cross with ducksfoot once
don't know about stealth, in flower the webbing stops and the plants reek

What is the flowering time for Ducksfoot? I got a few Ducksfoot seeds gifted to me by someone on OG a long time ago, but I don't know if they were crossed with something or not. So according to what was written above, if they were crossed, the seeds I have sprouted will not have any plants that exibit the 3 leaf formation unless the plant already had some DF in it?

One other question, how is the final taste and potency on a finished Ducksfoot?

Thanks in advance and sorry to bring back an older thread. I figured it would be better to add to this one than start a new one.
