KingJohnC's and WildRosebud's Dual Grow Journal - Pink Parvat Beta Testing

The probability of catching a hermie is in its genes! I know stress can make it show, but if the breeder created the strain correctly (used stable parents and grew a couple generations out) they should be good!

You bet! This is the process they are in at the moment exactly just we are in the middle of the generations I think. So I should see some straight sexes out of large batches for sure it is just a matter of how much of the generations have progressed. They work with a lot of varieties of plants and they told me that when they encounter a challenge like this it brings them nothing but joy. They have a plant that this is a part of lineage wise called Pink Cotton. It is a very low thc sativa hybrid but they are pulling over 1 pound yields out of them consistently per plant. I imagine that is where they are having problems , Pink Cotton might not be stable yet because I think it is usually grown from cuts from a mother that was not stabilized totally or grown through many generations. Who knows I just said a bunch of stuff that confused myself.... I will try to find out more info and if I can make sense of what I just said I will try to explain better lol
 
Ah right.. I forgot the "beta testing" part. Im also testing the serious 6 for "late nanners". Hopefully not a super hermie or anything.

I really think we screwed ourselves up with this feminization stuff. Its made unstable traits so much more prevalent. I mean what do you expect when you alter dna?

Awesome , how would you tell late nanners? Is the flower timing quite consistent but gets some nanners last couple weeks sort of test? Sorry I are a nub lol....

I like the "Lottery" of non feminized it feels least gmo to me lol I agree we should stop doing things scientifically by altering with chems , but then again mother nature makes them feminize too but I think her way is safer and more viable lol +reps SAY NO TO GMO! haha
 
The only way mother nature would force the very hidden hermie gene is if there was no mates left in the wild.. aka a plant is lone because all the rest of the species died from disease or something else and one survived in the area. Now this plant will try and use all its might to produce seeds, even if it wasn't the way it was designed. With feminization we have made this trait very prevalent. Did we invent it from years of fucking with plants (not just terminator technology/feminization)? Who knows.. probably not. I do know a human hermie is a mutation from heavy metal or other chemicals or infection while developing in the womb, and both sets of plumbing doesnt work!

I think that simon said these plants produce a few nanners in late flower (rodelization, overflowering?) but he doesn't even like that!

Bolting is natures natural self defence for females if no males are around. Animals eat the seeds whole primarily birds n poopem here n there so in a sense all females are hermi especially int he wild where nobody harvests them. Bolting is a common term gardeners use for veggies that self seed and I use for Cannabis it makes much sense. We caught on to those traits and behaviors of these plants over centuries and adapted to it and in return the plant mainly our man handed control varieties adapted along with us. The neat thing about "Wild" strains is we have no idea of the wild varieties we run in to and their history side by side with mankind and it would be ignorant to think we did not have some sort of play in its development over the centuries. People plant seeds some in the open some in hidden places. People die in the middle of caring for a crop and the crop goes wild. That wild crop flourishes in that area spreading sparsely outward and perhaps being introduced to other wild strains. It is so mysterious , those things make my mind race and wander a lot.
 
I hear you man. I dont know why im talking like I know, I hate when people do that so I should stop. Only god knows.

Maybe if we look at the tomato. Was it always able to pollinate itself, or did we breed that into the heirloom? Anyone know if the first tomato plants were "normal"? haha

haha tomato way of putting it kinda goes to show... But then again we still need to hang on to those , they are scientifically and historolagically closest to what a landrace is from as you call "the damage done" only that is how I see what yer saying anyway and I agree whole heartedly. We are keen investigators of how things grow and observe behaviors and trait that we most like and selectively breed and that is what prolly started the whole thing... I wonder if coconut trees looked different or had different looking fruit at one point.
 
In that respect I spose "Indian Corn" grown before europeans came to north america would still be considered modified but through breeding. Dad found a flat rock near a stream when he was a kid called "Indian Rock" He sat int he shade of a giant Maple tree to have lunch when he worked on a farm in Quebec. It was a comfortable spot he said as it was all moss. As he was eating lunch he thought it would be fun to tear the old moss off the ground and dicovered it was a slab of flat rock. he tore away the moss entirely when he discovered carvings in it and cleaned it up a little bit. For many years there was a lot of speculation what the tick marks onthe rocks were and what they meant and my dad figures he figured out a good theory that would make suitable sense and would be tough to prove wrong. Every year like clock work the "Shiners" spawn and migrate up stream like Salmon do in BC. They also transform like Salmon do the males look grotesque with spiked heads and the females get very large. The streams tend to be only several feet wide and the populations of shiners migrating tend to flow like water for weeks before the end of spawn. You can put your hand in and scoop 4-8 inch shiners with no effort it would be decent protein but what my father figures best of all was that it was perfect fertilizer for the areas wild corn crops. Take a whole shiner and put a corn seed in it and put it in the dirt in rows. The tallies represented rows. The natural landscape shows that the area was the size area needed to grow that many corn plants as to the tally nicks in the stone. There were so many different native/aboriginal groups in that area it is hard to say exactly what group it was but according to dad he figures they were the Turtle clan perhaps a variant of Eastern Woodland Indians. I prefer to call Indians or Natives Absolute Originals.
 
Well today I encountered a problem with PP. Seems there is a phosphorus deficiency I think the heat is creating uptake problems... I spent a hour doing some minor LsT and while I was diggin around I notice a few fan leaves are curling and drying out in the lower canopy. I rarely encounter issues like this they are easy to catch early but I slacked off.... Oh the life of a Cannabis farmer >< lol
