Ducksfoot x Afghan f2 by Dr. D - Test Grows ~ New Varieties - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi folks

The good Dr D gave me a ten pack of Ducksfoot x Afghan f2s at last year's icmag cup and I promised to do a grow report. Well, 10 months later, I finally fulfilled on my promise!

Started 10 seeds in paper towels and all sprouted within 36 hours, very healthy and vigourous from day one. I potted them into little square pots of John Innes seed compost. Sadly two didn't make it but the other 8 are all healthy and look good at 14 days old under a 65w CFL.

I am very pleased to discover that there are a number of webbed phenos! I intend to make F3s by selecting just the webbed plants, see if I can lock down that trait.

This looks to be the 50/50 pheno as it has the Afghan leaf shape but the leaves are webbed, the lower one is fully webbed, whereas the upper on is webebd on the left side only.

This one looks like it will be a little bit webbed as the leaf on the right is slightly webbed.

Definite Ducksfoot pheno this one, looks more like a strawberry plant than ganja. Hope this one is female, if so it will get cloned and saved as it looks stealthy to me.

Afghan leaning pheno, not webbed.

Very Afghan looking pheno.

Strange one, the leaf on the right is webbed but a strange shape, the one on the left is also webbed, but only at the bottom.

Afghan pheno and a bit smaller than the others.

So fingers crossed I find both a webbed female and a webbed male to make F3s!

I was gifted some Ducksfoot f2s a couple of years ago and grew them indoors, they vegged great but didn't flower properly. Hopefully that touch of Afghan will make all the difference...

Hiya Wally

Thanks for poppin in, I'm hoping to find a nice stealthy pheno of these I can clone and plant outdoors, lots of land here but people everywhere so something stealthy would be very useful!

Good luck with the F3's! I hope you nail that webbed trait down, they look alot of fun to grow.

Cheers Pirate. I topped all of them a few days ago and yesterday repotted them into larger pots, I'm going to clone the webbed phenos before they go outdoors so i can work withthem indoors.

Dr D also gave me some of those seeds last yr. I have been wanting to plant some. Seeing your thread has inspired me.

I am greatly impressed by your MARVELOUS collecion of Annuals. Brings back my childhood. I so loved reading them and the few that I did have got left behind in South Africa over 20 years ago.
I did however bring my Astrerix collection. I think that I have them all as I have been adding to that as they come out.

Please post a photo of your bookshelves.

Hello Ronley

I'm not at home right now but i will take a pic of my bookshelf, I loved those annuals when I was a kid, and I fully intend to sit my son on my knee and read every one of them to him one day (when I have a son!) imho reading is far more useful to a child's development than playing computer games.
