mate it's crazy how much pollen those males can give off i found it hard to understand how something so small can give of shit loads of yellow dust lol
Time is pushed today mate so i will get back on ASAP with some updates
I cant see the fat white and purple going 2 weeks though there bulking right out and getting close to finishing
I will get some pics later on this week and you can let me know what you think as you know this strain better than anyone else
I had to put the AK male outdoor..he isn't going to like that..
but he looks as if he is going to split pods in the next 48 hours..
and I cannot afford the cross pollenation..
so he takes his chances..in the cold.
Just had a call off my old man and he thinks one of the AK's is a hermie.
Now i have never had a harmie in all my time so i will have to check.
It's a shame i dont know the background of these AK's but if it's a chick with D*cks it's up for the chop !!!!
still not had the time to check them but you would say it's a lowryder thing them mossy??
Plants would have been kept at a steady temp so i dont think that would be it but i need to check them first just incase.
The old man's eye's aint the best
i assume im looking for a male looking plant with hairs yes?
The first time I saw one..it was in my Original Lowryder.
Second one I saw was in the maz/lr..
but not until f3..where all your anomolies
come out.
Saying that..
some of the things that I DID associate with the LR side of things..like the hardiness..
may come from the afghan dom..
So may the hermie.
It is very hard to be definite..because canna has such bastardised genetics.
but if you have a look back to the 70's..a few of the main breeding stock lines had the problem...so it is going to be well integrated now.
AK-47 has distant relatives in commom with my Maz..so maybe it comes from that end of the lineage.
Pipe had a pistilate male on one of mine.
I will see if he has a photo.
I only got a female hermie.
Not enough time to read through this morning.... Sorry I haven't been around... I've been busy trying to get things organized, as I have just moved.... A fancy girl whom I dated a decade ago has come back into my life.... Not a whole lot of "free" time these days.... I'll be back to review this evening....
Boy its wet around here.... Spring must be on the way!
I'm not getting my hopes up though.
I saw a bright shiny gold bug out a couple days ago! Looked like a lacewing, only 3/4 inch long and shiny as gold in the body.... Pretty early I'd think for around 40 N....
Managed to get away from me love for a few to visit the black indy...
Doing very well! One has some mutations... No sex showing yet... They're getting hardened off little by little to withstand the HPS.... 4 or 6 hours tomorrow...
Transplanted them this evening into 5 gal containers with very good organic amended soilless mix (frog soil or somethin???) and less than the recommended rate of 0-12-0 guano~!
Did a little mossy training as well.... Fingers crossed.... Hope they don't cry too much with the transplant at the same time.... I tried to explain the supercrop technique to my buddy, and he ended up kinking the petioles!!! First time grows are so fun...
Also, 10 chunky mix were put in a paper towel this eve... Looks to be a great season!
Hows this for a supercrop, mossy?
mutant... He said the top points extremely toward the light, and moves as you turn it.... Also has some funky leaves....
Excellent super-crop that m8...
most first timers find it hard to be that brutal..but..once you see the difference it makes..you will find it hard not to.
Plus..you realise that they Love it.
5 gallon pots are what I used for them..
My b.indy have not showed AF..so they have gone in the tent for 4 days..to see if they suddenly flower.
I will let you know what happens.
WAMEN..WAMEN..WAMEN..
I KNOW that Afghan is a Sati..I have been checking it out in the botany book..
(and we were right about that tapered head and pointy ears.. )
BUT..
within the Sati typical "Type"...can you get an Indy dom..
or would that just indicate a move away from the genetic line.
(A percentage of another set of genetics in there.)
looking at the overheads..they are V similar..everything there screams afghan..on Both
looking here..I would say I have an indy..and a sati..structually.
The Maj Botany book says structually..the one on the right..is the typical Afghan...ATM..
I THINK..I have got to the bottom of my germ problems.
Fingers Crossed.
I THINK being harvested and dried in the dank..then stored in plastic bags may have kept them slightly damp.
I put mine on the radiator for 4-5 days..re-germed..and they are away like rabbits.
Of course..because I had probs..I over germed..they are all sprouting..and now I have another problem..
I am OVER-RUN.....
The FAT white has germed too..which was the one giving HK and me probs..
so I am hopeful..
I hope she likes it, I have good reason to believe she will.... I kinked it as nice as I could..... I guess my buddy didn't fully understand how these plants develop, kinking petioles....
Will the nodes after the kink develop into much?
Thanks for the sativa/indica thoughts and comparisons, it helps.... I love the little pot full of seedlings.... Yikes! May not want to sex them all in there... I'm sure they'd take it though....
Love being overrun.... Almost guerilla season! If oaks is what you're growin, now is the time to start.....
all these plants come from CULTIVARS that have been around indoor and outdoor grows for several decades over and over always OUT of their original country.. this mean the % of original traits and resistance and such have changed from generation to generation. far away from the orginal... plus
During all this time of human manipulation of these natural genetics happened that we infected their DNA with hermie (intersexed) genes , mainly for breeding needs. For example all the clone-form strains that produce seed with no males around
Nowadays the cultivars are full of intersexed genes.
On the other side we have to consider that some pure landraces for example Thai have the natural tendence to hermie to keep the plant growing on and on , in wild conditions.
dont know about the Ruderalis
