AK Bean Brains

[CloudHidden]

Those look cool!
I just sprouted a pack of those myself.
Definately not as leafy as the NL I've grown in the past.

Thanks! Can't wait to try some. I usually try a test bud along the way, but didn't get to it this time. So far I've only grown out one other NL, it was NL#2 F3, but yeah it was way leafier. I have some AKBB NL#5 and ACC NL1 x 89NL in the queue. Good luck with your run!

 

[CloudHidden]

Good lord that's not it's regular structure is it?

Yep. Not a big side brancher, lol.

 

[CloudHidden]

goodness those are sog poster children if i've ever seen one. my only question is how tf do you take cuts from something that doesn't branch? i've never been good at getting tops to root but that is what you'd have to do with these.

FWIW, I've never had any problem cloning the main stem. I may have screwed myself by not topping and cloning these. I plan on re-vegging these till I try them and see if I want to keep either.

The same KY dude who posted here? Abysmal spelling and punctuation?

Yep

Growing like weeds PHK x Durban (purple outline) was the fastest growing in the whole tent. Did a lot of tying down on her. The Clusterfuck (Blue Outline) and Cantaloupe Haze Orange Outline) have the AK Squat going on. I'd estimate they could withstand sustained winds in excess of 100 mph Was able to get a decently level canopy, even the plant in dwc cooperated with height restrictions


Spun one of the sips around to offset the big and small plants in opposing planters. Just flipped to flower

 

[BOY GENIUS]

Should be enough to work with I think.

 

[GrassBurner]

Damn! Bet he needs a cigarette after all that

I’ve never seen stem thickness like these offerings from AKBB before. Is that an NL trait or is it more breeding preference?

I believe it's just healthy vigorous plants make huge stems with great root structure.
Most of what I've grown of his have been very vigorous.

F1 vigor?

 

[Bakersfield]

F1 vigor?

That and or hybrid vigor if your crossing 2 genetically distant parents.

Two skunk qabbage bx7 outside, about 3 weeksish

 

[colocowboy]

f1 = hybrid vigor
You don’t necessarily need distant relatives to achieve this, a lot of times the old dudes that had deep filial lines would outcross just to inject that vigor back into their lines.

Perhaps they were thinking of heterosis. Skunkman claims this is why haze makes everything it touches better.

Yep, it's just another term for the same thing.

Not all outcrosses result in heterosis. For example, when a hybrid inherits traits from its parents that are not fully compatible, fitness can be reduced. This is a form of outbreeding depression.

 

[GrimRe4]

I did not realize there was outbreeding depression although upon reading the link it makes perfect sense.

I would argue that many of todays F1's, especially the cookie on cookie, chem on chem or OG on Og do not display much vigor and have a high percentage of mutants that need to be culled.

 

[colocowboy]

That’s why it’s important to test, many crosses aren’t really great. Do you ever notice the best stuff tends to be happy accidents.

 

[Corso312]

Yep

That guy is a legit breeder?
