Growth started normal. The trifoliate leaf sets started on the 2nd internode around day 20, I noticed the flat stems, and the growth tip had split into 2. Id be happy with that,its more bud sites. What's pissing me off is the male preflowers. Is it worth keeping. Development of the pistils seems slow.
Have you ever kept and popped new seeds? All female?
I grow seeds out all the time like this...out of 4-5 strains I play around with...1 just will not get rid of the intersex trait and is always popping pre flowers....the rest pop preflowers about 10% of the time, still working after 5 years, just now getting a taste
but I have never popped a true male....I get the supermales, but I want to send some of my leaf material to Phylos and see it if is male going lady or a lady going lady...
Is it worth it? well i am of a different opinion on saving genetics than most....Intersex is trait that WILL NOT ever be bred of the cannabis genome, at least naturally...Even what we consider "regular" or non-fem strains can intersex....so all these terms are all misnomers for the most parts, because they are all out of context...
SuperMales if it exists, is really just a reproductive technique shared by a variety of other plants in male dominated gene pools...sexual rhodalization of sorts.
I agree that u cant guess genotype from phenotype but with a stable strain such as Afghan Kush Ryder, any abnormalities like this are probably relating to genotype.
and you absolutely right, you know enough to make that observation, I was just kind of generally washing over earlier....
Homozygous / Heterzygous ....
I tend to agree as well, if the plant has a bunch of homozygous looking plants and then a hetero comes out...yeah, don't overlook a genotypic expression in that case....
That's definitely a solid point, the law of averages definitely helps in that case...growing a strain out multiple multiple times, helps so much....not just run an gun to the next and newest...
