Finally got the electricity installed. Feeling a lot safer after running everything off one extension cord

How much do you charge an execution by chair? Can people watch?

@Totemic You being a breeder yourself, how do you feel about this?

Once I've released seeds I have no control over who does what with them, and it doesn't bother me either. If anyone finds a plant from my stable that's worth spreading around then it's goal achieved. Getting good weed to the people. 

Something must be up with your environment to do with light... Perhaps a light leak or the light cycle is too long? 

I'm trying to understand why the genetics are doing that in your space... 

It's also important to remember that pheno expression is environmentally triggered. A prize pheno may grow spectacularly in my space, and the same pheno expresses different in the next tent based on the inputs

Thanks guys, been looking forward to this moment before harvest for quite a while! 

I just harvested T#6 now, after handling the bud and getting a nice personal look at the nuggets, @Totemic the buds are mega resinous my dude, jirrrrrrrrre! I don't think I've ever had gloves this soaked in goodness before and I consider this one to be harvested a bit early. I am so looking forward to harvesting the rest of the Tortonis later on in the month after what I just saw 

Thanks man. But you did an awesome job growing them!

@Light It Up till the day I die 

I agree. Best value for money at the moment. Im only running under @Light It Up QBs, and can't complain at all

Day 7 isn't too far into flower that you are going to wait that long imo. They are still really in veg. I have clones taken from a 3 week into flower plant that I expect a long reveg of 7 to 10 weeks... 

These babies also got a transplant today into 1L. Smaller of the twins and the one morphed phylotaxy removed. 

It's been so dam cold the last week I've been in hibernation mode. 

Lovely weekend for gardening so I decided to pot these little ones up to 5L 

Day 42

That is really odd. Hermie I could grasp but 4 males from a single what should be a fem seed

Just talking about fused seeds and polyembryonic seeds in my other thread. That looks like 4 or 5. Did you ever check if they each had their own root? First time I've seen this many

*Mini thread hijack

Got mine today too. Thank you @Bay Seeds

yes that's it, looks like it should've been one seed that's just split. in that case most time neither seed is good, but with the case of them sharing a husk there will be one that had a better chance of developing and one that's a little less developed. with there being no chance of the already formed x chromosome splitting in two as with some other reproductive processes, with regards to a cannabis plant twins are not a genetic mutation, but rather a casual physiological phenomenon. 

Ok, cool got a better understanding now, thank you sir! 

Still haven't pulled the trigger on plant breeding, got tons to learn still as you can see!

Yeah I'm not saying genetic twins aren't possible. Any damage could occur to an ovule that could cause weird stress response growth. I also can't explain what that tidal wave that happens does when the pollen and ovule merge and create the embryo. 

At best I'm describing things and processes in a way I understand them, as we can't see what's actually happening on that microscopic level moment to moment. 

Yeah, the two ovules are formed when the female strips her chromosomes in 2. Each representing one side of the 'x'. 

When both pistils are fertilized within that time period before what must be a chemical trigger to switch to seed development and each pollen grain reaches both ovules, they both develop and mostly share a single husk. Sometimes they don't, and just looking at the seed you can see its 2 seeds that are almost fused. 

It's not a matter of a twin gene. It has to do with the physiology of the calyx, having two pistils a calyx, and an ovule per pistil. 

In a natural pollination environment the pollen is diluted in the air, and generally only one of the pistils might catch pollen. Once a calyx is pollinated at one pistil the other dies as the seed starts to develop. 

When you look at the extreme density of having a whole male plant in a 1m2 space, then twin come up often as practically every pistil is pollinated at once. 

Twins are rarely identical, and are in fact separate genetic expressions.

whooooooooo !!!!

not wasting any time hahah looking good man, you got any twins in previous runs too or the just spontaneously coming out as twins now? do I see some mutant there aswell? 

Yeah twins are common, and have come up in the F1s too. There is whorled phylotaxy among them. They have already fallen out of the race, while only the stronger of the twins will remain. 

I have a few related regular lines I'm working on all at once, advancing to the next generation. There is so little time in a year to fit in cycles that I don't have any to waste

Started 2 weeks ago. 5 sets of twins among them.

I've read about this mutation but I've never experienced it. It looks like what I assume would be a bud site growing in the fan leaf... crazy 

This poor girl's had it all, webbed leaves, weird alternate branching now leaf buds

So what's the norm here, chop the leaf or leave it to grow out?

That is a dominant trait that goes all they way back to the Afghani line Northern Lights, that also expresses frequently in the chocolope NL line, and would also express here. Sometimes it's just the leaflet, sometimes it's a bud too

Day 35

Mid flower update. Not much happening. Seeds are developing well. 

There will be a few phenos that range between Chocolate Gelato and Blunicorn dominance. Sounds like it smells like a Gelato dominant pheno with a high myrcene content. My favorite terpene, and the one I'll always select for. 

Don't stress too much about the cold. Your plants are going to grow a bit slower and will be colorful, but they'll still grow. 

It's not the temperature doing that to those girls. I'd literally stop everything(watering, feeding, no fiddling) for the next 7 or more days. If you don't get an improvement on that, then that soil is off. 

Shew.. Plenty setbacks on this one, other projects distracting me. 

Got 11 going on these. They've been outdoors but the cape weather has just been terrible for more than a week, so they have been moved indoors since the veg tent is somewhat reset. 

Yeah you not going to get the best of them with only 8 weeks. 10 weeks minimum, and some might like an extra week.
