So 10 years ago i used Gibberellic acid on my Lavender plant. Collected the pollen. Hit 2 plants with the same pollen.
One plant hit was itself, a " lavender" plant we got from a san fran dispo like 2005ish. then i hit my bag seed plant Early pearl.
At the time the early pearl was a great plant, an 10 years later if i still had the original i can only speculate that it would hold its own today with the 20+ other lines im holding. at the least it is upsetting to myself an others that early pearl cut was lost. i have searched through a few leads with no luck
A few years ago when i grew out the lavender x lavender (R) plants they where all female, no actual lower balls. maybe a few top bananas.... top top cola bananas probably from high heat or light stress.
now i started the early pearl x lavender (R) 24 seeds , 22 popped. lost like 6 afterwards to damping off most likely caused from being over watered. A fungi like circle grew at the base of the stem an surrounding soil. The rest that made it grew healthy with no known problems. I just flipped 9 plants
so the first 4 plants showed ballls balls balls with no female pistols. I immediately thought how could this be to have full blown males.
I thought maybe i mislabeled the seed bag, or maybe i put some early pearl seeds i may have found during previous trims into the same bag. but i doubt i would have done that, in fact im pretty sure i would never do that an simply keep separate and label accordingly
the remanding 5 plants show female pistols and no balls. fast forward 20 days. 2 are now showing a few lower sacks.
is it possible the g acid levels carried over in the seed are enough to effect the offspring? if so could the clones possibly become more stable once the g-acid levels are lowered as the cut is grown out? Or is it just the early pearl genetics are not as stable compared to the first cross made?
thoughts? Have you experienced anything similar with g-acid, one cross was stable and the others not.
