me, iam.So is anyone around here actually growing any triplenode?

sorry no pics. and my setup is in my grow journal. mind you: those pix are about 3 months old and are not of what i have in there currently.

do you know if there is a yield increase with the trinode plants? are they some of the ones you quoted as being so high in thc? or do they have regular thc levels?So is anyone around here actually growing any triplenode?
I'd really love to see some more pics of other trinode plants. I've only seen one other on RIU.
Isn't 'trinode' easier to say than 'triplenode'? it means the same thing.

welcome to RIU.
I believe, with only one parent being trinode, your chances of producing offspring with the same trait would be quite low. You'd need a male and female trinode to have a good chance of success. having this one, for me, was only by chance, since I didn't order any such.
also, not all offspring of two trinode parents would show the trinode characteristic. you'd have to grow all the seeds and choose the plants with the strongest characteristics, ie; trinode, fast growth, high thc, or whatever. then inbreed, crossbreed, or whatever professional breeders do, probably, for several generations
before you get a stable strain.
you are right, it would be cheaper, but if it was so easy, I suspect everyone would create new, stable, strains.

Trinode would be easier, but the guy who first stabilized the genetic train got to name it, he sold it as Triplenode so thats what it is.
http://rickyseeds.com/_wsn/page3.html
The prices have definitely dropped from the original $20,000 for 10 seeds. I think they were just so damn expensive at first because he wanted to sell his new genetics to other seed suppliers.
The claims are UP TO 33% increase in yields. A lot of people say thats BS, but it depends on the style of grow. If it was a single plant planted outdoors then technically it should produce 1/3 more shoots, and 30% more product.
As far as high THC count. Literally Any strain can achieve high THC counts, it depends How you grow it. Some strains just make it easier to unlock that potential.
Mass Spectrometer testing isnt cheap, so when seed companies pay for tests, they send in a sample of the Best of the Best of that strain. So the high THC count isnt guaranteed, its just what you Can achieve with good growing skills.

Yeah it takes many many generations to stabilize a genetic trait that started out basically as a "mutant" or "freak" plant.
Once you do get some mothers that are triplenode, it takes a lot More time to find other strains that will accept the triplenode genetic trait and pass it on through seeds.

Yea it is a lot more common now that so many people grow. I my self have seen that a time or two. But it always is just cool to see no matter how many times i have seen that. Four leaf clover= a pot of gold. Three cotyledons and three leaf marijuana= a shit ton of killer weed

starting off with clones of that first freak, especially if it's a girl, would be the best way to start. then you could take some to flower, for seed, and others to create more mothers, for more clones. that would speed the process, as far as generations. more generations growing at once will make inbreeding faster and make the 'strain' more consistent, in a shorter time.Yeah it takes many many generations to stabilize a genetic trait that started out basically as a "mutant" or "freak" plant.

LOLP.S. I understand what you mean now...thanks for the rep.
I don't know if its typical, but i have a tri leaf blueberry from seed and it has turned out to be the slowest grower of my group, it did split into two main stems which is cool but as of yet it is lightyears behind my others. I have clones from her just to be sure but I don't think it is a plant that I will continue, appears to just be a freak!

are your clones trinode also? if so, then, perhaps, they will grow faster than the mother. and/or you can take one to flower, pollinated, by a male/hermie, trinode. then collect seeds, plant one, and if it's trinode, sell them, the seeds, for big $. it would take less than a year to do that, maybe 6 mo. but it may not be a stable strain. that's the fast/iffy way. the sure way would take several years, I think.I have clones from her just to be sure but I don't think it is a plant that I will continue, appears to just be a freak!
P.S. love your avatar. that is pepe's girlfriend. it's good to see they're on the same track...gettin high!

It was Mango(Papaya)...I don't think it's any type of Indiga. I believe its Satika, lol. or a mix.
ok, and I did...
to follow its development, go to page 2, post #11. rofl
I will see how she smokes, it was interesting to watch, with the extra set of leaves it eventually merged together and then split into to main stems like it had been topped, after it merged it has grown the normal set of leaves and is quite a ways behind her sisters in gorwth and budding! But I will withhold judgement until I see what she produces.
As for the avatar, I can't take credit, just picke it up from stinkbud, figured since I use his system I would spread the name!

I guess I'll join in on this thread since I got info for ya.
I posted on a thread about this several months ago. You can go to the Mandala seed site and look at their faq to find out what a triplenode is about.
I got a bunch of afghani fems and one came out like this. Very healthy plant with vigorous growth. The Mandala faq says a small percentage of these plants will be vigorous and mine sure was.
I noticed the top kept growing 3 leaves at each node but the side branches themselves grew like normal branches would and only had 2 leaf nodes. I took a few clones and let it flower.
Wow what a massive cola I had. This thing was so full of bud and so compact. It almost had no empty space up the stem. It capped out at about 30% more weight then the other plants.
Sadly the clones did not take on the triple node trait of the mom but it still grows quite vigorous and gives me 2 1/2 to 3 z's a plant of small compact buds.

Triplenode is nothing new. If you read the thread theres lots of info on it. You can even buy triplenode seeds.

thanks for those links BC. I can't comment on how stable, or how much bud those plants would produce.
but in my opinion, 50% more is just that guy, '(ricky's), guess. mathematically, it would only be 33% more.
Quadnode would produce 50% more, in theory. by his calculations, if he had quadnode, it would produce
100% more bud.
he also sells seeds for 30% thc plants, not the 3node, a different plant. as you said BC the mass spec test is really expensive.
I really doubt 'ricky' has had that test done.
his web page seems full of 'guesses' and personal estimates...ie; bullshit
"Warning: Very strong, psychoactive and pain numbing medicine. FOR MEDICAL USERS ONLY. Cancer, epilepsy and other chronical neurological disorders !"
so only get those seeds if you're chronical!
