Guess who showed up today? Mother fucking Casey Jones! Let the games begin.
Hey Tiger, good observation.
Yes this cut does throw out some nanners near then end, she'l do it earlier if you stress her too much. I believe she is also sensitive to light leaks probably from the Sour D side.
Its nothing to worry about they does produce a bit of pollen not alot and they are not true male flowers nor would i call it a hermie.
Iv grown out a few other CJ females and saw no male flowers, ive never heard of anyone having a full blown hermie from Casey Jones...Hope this answers your questions...Peace
Got some of those freebies. Was pretty excited until I studied up on their making.
snipped...
As to CJ "never reversing",it is my understanding that a bunch of "inbred/f2" CJ "freebies" donated to SB had to be pulled out of distribution because essentially all of them were true intersex plants.

Hiya Dr. D!
I was pointed over here regarding your quote,
"I believe she (Casey Jones) is also sensitive to light leaks probably from the Sour D side."
Well,Doc,Tiger was right & you're incorrect.
I'll explain.
Sour Diesel V3 is/was solid as a rock,The ECSDV3 is one of the most rock-solid of all the Sour Diesel generations-And it passed on it's lack of sensitivities to the Original Sour Diesel IBL V1.0,completely. (Fyi-SD IBL V1.0 breeding is: ECSDV3/ECSDV3.)
What I'm here to clarify:
The reason Casey Jones frequently shows intersex traits,and also produces full-on intersex plats is:
(Simply)
The pure,equatorial land-race Thai ("Billygoat's Thai") that was used in the CJ hybrid.
The inter-sexing shows,especially with repeated in-breeding,due to the Thai's dominant inter-sex traits when not grown in its' native habitat.
The LR Thai by itself will reverse in indoor conditions approximately 99.XXX% of the time,as it being a pure equatorial sativa,it doesn't appreciate dim-ass HID lighting-It requires billions of sun-CLOSE lumens,not a wimpy 40,000-140,000 or so lumens that indoor,HID lighting provides.
With the original CJ cross,the Sour Diesel V3 actually minimized the Thai's very strong inter-sexing inclinations.
In subsequent CJ in-breedings the Thai's intersex traits (which are fairly dominant indoors,not recessive) have been and will be popping up repeatedly more and more as no more original recipe stock has been released. Especially in anything less than a perfect garden,but even that won't help if & when the Thai's dominant intersex gene keeps rearing its' ugly head.
Over the past several years as people have made their own CJ knock-offs using CJ "f-whatever" seeds,without using the original P1 Stock,this issue has increased substantially.
The best bet for CJ would be to re-breed it using the original parents,but the original breeder no longer has those,he lost them years ago when people close by had troubles.... So,since that's not possible,IMO,because of the LR Thai involved,if a grower wants CJ,I'd say get it from a friend that has "old stock" clones or seeds from the original release,not an "inbred" version.
As to CJ "never reversing",it is my understanding that a bunch of "inbred/f2" CJ "freebies" donated to SB had to be pulled out of distribution because essentially all of them were true intersex plants.
So there goes the "CJ never reverses" notion.
CJ "S1s" I'd say as a professional breeder,are a shit-shoot. Maybe okay,maybe not. Just knowing that the Thai gene is there,waiting,like a boogeyman in the closet,to pop up and piss pollen in one's cornflakes (grow room) would make me VERY watchful when running those.
IMO run original Casey Jones from-seed or original stock clones,or imo,be uber-fucking-careful. UBER.
Well,this clears up the scientific reason for the CJ's intersex issues for y'all,and why the hybrid worked well the first time,but no so well without the original P1 Stock being used for the breeding.
Havagood1!

he has no reason to speculate on the work we are doing and the timing of his post tells me a lot.
You do realize that he made that post 9 months ago ???
