Ducksfoot

Did you start this grow from seed? How long have you been growing the duck, cause you seem to have it dialled.
Loving the duck porn.

Thanks, no nothing in particular, just give her plenty of light (they are getting about 75 watts per square foot) and plenty of space for the roots to stretch out, and she will perform like a champ.

thats they key mr abyss , well done , best ive seen indoors ..

you very rarely ever see anyone grow any webbed plant indoors. i have tried to grow the HWI indoors and i did it, but it wasn't easy, and i don't really want to do it again, so i commend you on your grow bro!! great job as anyone who has ever attempted to grow a webbed plant indoor will testify! aloha

Those are excellent. I wish mine looked half as good. I noticed you said lots of root space. Mine don't have that. Maybe I'm watering mine too much? Maybe Duck likes small amounts of water? Is it dirt you're growing in? What nutes, light?

They are grown in rockwool with Ionic nutes, under a mix of 1000 watt MH's and HPS's averaging 75 watts per square foot.

Thanks. You definitely have the best looking indoor Duck I've ever seen. I wonder if the MH is what helps? I have some under a CMH. Before I had them under a HPS at 24/0 and one died and the rest suffered terribly. I put them under some fluorescents 12/12 and they started looking better immediately. Now I have them under a CMH 12/12 and they look ok but could be better. They're a little yellow but the line between them being yellow and over nuted is very fine. I'd rather err towards yellow than over fert. People say I'm wrong about the light spectrum being the problem with Duck but I'm not convinced. I think it may make a great deal of difference.

Id definately agree on mh being the more favoured spectrum for ducksfoot and most equatorial sativa ,
i always use mh for sativa ,
testing showed me the flowering just didnt perform as well with hps , so i always added metal halide lighting to supplement the plants needs ...
that added to what canned abyss has already mentioned ,,
root space and heaps of wattage ,
is the only way imho to get anything worthy from ducksfoot and such sativas indoors...

those were from seeds canned abyss?? have u run clones to see any diff in performance ...

Thanks everybody.
I prefer MH's or a mix of MH and HPS. I get better results with it. These are clones, this was the third run that I did with them.

Does anybody know the linage?Hawaiian comes too mind for some reason
Its possible it originated there ,
but has been in australia for quite sometime up to 16 yrs from what we know
, and
likely crossed with some aussie sativa , given the first plants we saw.

The webbed indica certainly came from hawaii .

^^ good guess :)

....Walley will tell you himself his seed stock originated in Hawaii..... some folks (cough cough) have a few hawaiian strains that have "webby" or duck-foot phenotypes.... + theres a few strains where the ducksfoot leaf was inbred (strawberry web etc) and is a dominant trait.

it seems many dont realise the webbed trait isnt confined to one particular strain
its a trait that can appear in cannabis ,,
doesnt have to be related to ducksfoot , or webbed indica for that to occur ,
its been seen before , on totally unrelated strains ..

so whilst i think its quite possible the ducksfoot came from hawaii initially ,
it could also have occured in an unrelated strain that has never seen hawaii ...

just one more thing machush ,,
webbed leafs is not a dominant trait ,
try crossing it to a normal leaf plant and see which dominates ....
its recessive ....
