Hi all, i've had a pack of Bodhi's small release of Lemon Thai 'F3' in the freezer for 10+ years and ive been looking for some LT seeds from another population of plants for a long time. Thanks to a tip off from a member here i managed to get a pack of LT seeds from Derg Corra, a low-key Danish collective.
The Bodhi release: He described the seed mother as an 'indica pheno' and he told me one time that he used two males.. of those 10 seeds i only got six to germ in 3 attempts over the years. The first 4 were run years ago and all girls, 2 hermed in mid flower, other 2 superb clear energetic high, one popped a couple of years ago and was also female, This is what i used to make the S1s which have come out well, herm free and representative of my experience of the line... so this plant is tried and tested and stable and will feature heavily in any repro. My last 3 seeds were wetted a few weeks ago and i got 1 seedling. pics in a minute but it's big, vigorous and looking pretty butch! Only getting 6 to germ out of 10 seeds is not great, i usually do much better, and i suspect that some seeds were never going to grow.. although they looked good. There were reports of a lot of fasciated plants from F4s of the Bodhi selection.. only one reported from my S1s so far. Its pretty clear that widening the genetic pool might help for future generations....
I sowed 9 of the Derg Corra seeds and 8 came up, good start, i was expecting these plants to show more variation and maybe be more narrow-leaf than the Bodhi ones... so of course in reality they actually have fatter leaves and all look pretty similar lol, perhaps slight differences in the sidebranching.
Pics, These first 3 are the tallest of the Derg corra front right. on the left is the Bodhi new plant, which was sowed at the same time as all the rest but is taller and already the most sidebranching, looks quite different.
Back right is the proven Bhodi female from clone, just getting into its stride..
Front right is the Tallest of the Derg Corra plants.
4 more of the Derg Corra plants
and the smallest 3 Dergs, front plant i initially thought might be slightly more narrow leaf, but now i'm pretty sure it's just a runt. it didn't look to have enough root growth to hold soil together for a repot... so i left it for now, it will probably be culled.
