Seed Pictures

[DoobieBrother]

Best idea I got is a dime here in the states. The euro pennies are quite small. Only thing I can think that's small and everyone should have.

What is it, this "dime" thing, that you mention?
I am so broke that I have not two of which to rub together.

 

[DoobieBrother]

I do have one dime, though:

*edit: labeled it wrong. They're NOT "Extrema" s33ds, they're "Casey Jones"

 

[Mohican]

Thanks DB!

Edit: Mmmmmmmm, Casey Jones....

Polyarcturus - you are obviously a breeder - sweet collection.

What are some of the coolest seed morphologies you have seen?

I am trying to come up with a size reference for seed pictures analogous to using a Bic lighter for bud pics. Paper clip is the only thing I could think of and those vary in size too much. I like the rice desiccant

The Holy Smoke Mulanje 100% Sativa had a very strong bubblegum/juicy fruit scent on the plant. I know DJ Short got his blueberry line from Sativa strains. Where does your bubblegum come from?

Cheers,
Mo

the cooledst one i had was when the black markings on the seed made a clear X shape.(oh and i thought the rice would be good for scale)

 

[polyarcturus]

the bubble gum? it was a bagseed, from outdoor cally harvest got in the mail who knew the guy growing. he was some old hippie sort so if he was growing sativas its makes sense. so i grew a bunch of the seeds culled several early, lewith 2 females and a male.(that later turned out to be the father of a lot of genetics and mutant as it was a male hermi naturally(extra chromosome and rare).) i gave the more sativa female away dismissing it at shit genetics and too large for my area. the other i grew out and it was decent. later on after growing produigy the friend i gave the origional bubblegum gave me a sample and i was astounded, unfortunately i did not have any pollen left from the male herm so i used the most flavorful F1(BC#2xBgum) to Bx it with. and fortunately in time because they where buster shortly after.

sadly the bubble gum is no longer with me, but i have a replacement that is the best phenotypical expression of it ive seen yet that i am working with(WWxbgum). and its a triploid and i hope to generate a brand new bubblegum generation with high chance of getting a triploid. i am soon to Bx it with a male herm, from the prodigy of its brother and poly's purp x bgum.(aka Brain damage (wwxbgum) x (poly's purp x bgum) F2)

just a tad bit of info

OK, I'll Play. It will be good for people to see that seeds come in ALL shapes, sizes, and colors.

Thanks for the awesome seed picture from Mrs Rare Dankness in Colorado (and Spain)!


Blown up:

Cheers,

contrary to what your saying your saying if that is one strain those seeds are pretty uniform. med to light in color with a mixture of light and dark markings tend to have a band around the center with less makings.

 

[DoobieBrother]

Let me translate what needed no translation:

"It will be good for people to see that seeds come in ALL shapes, sizes, and colors."


Meaning that the sizes, shapes and colors will vary from one strain to the next.

 

[Mohican]

Yes - and the more unique the better!

I wish one of the breeders or collectors with many strains would put one seed each side by side so we could see the size variation along with the color variation. I remember Lumbo Gold and Mohican had very light colored gray-beige tiny seeds. The Thai and the Hawaiian had bigger darker patterned seeds. Then there were the dark ones with light spots and the totally black pea-sized hindu kush seeds.

Back in the day you bought a bag of MJ and it was half seeds and mostly leaf. You always needed to have a cleaning tray ready (cafeteria trays were the best) and you spent an hour cleaning your stash and tossing the seeds (in a field somewhere) :0 Then when the highly engineered stuff started coming in from NorCal and you only got a few seeds. This is when we started growing some dank homegrown


Cheers,
Mo

I remember those days.
Compared to s33ds now, some of the old ones would look like s33ds that didn't reach maturity (by today's standards), even though they were fully formed and totally viable for planting, they just didn't have stripes or brindled colors or spots: just solid colors, sometimes very small, sometimes fat & round, etc.
It still trips me out to see so many the variations.
I "look" at the s33ds I have, but I don't always observe them up close and in detail.
They are quite beautiful, in reality.

 

[Mohican]

That is why I started this thread. It seemed like a very important aspect of growing this amazing plant was missing. I am still amazed that the seed companies do not show the seeds in the strain pictures along with veg plants and buds.

 

[DoobieBrother]

Like these pics of "ancient chinese cannabis" s33ds (and looks like male flowers, too):

or these ones:

 

[Mohican]

Yes!!!!!! Now that is what I am talking about! Well done

 

[Mohican]

The black seed I had in 1980 was like a mini Coconut - just like the big seeds in this pic but black:

hey curly, another nice thread! its very challenging taking photos of seeds. I think i might need a better camera to this .
i keep my seeds in these boxes. i have an extra one if anyone needs one let me know.
I wish i could plant one of each of my seeds right now. and Here is a picture of the only feminized seed that i have right now.
Kannabia Matard Blue.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Hey doobs !hope your feeling better. here are my casey jones seeds that i plucked from the buds of my girls. They look like yours!!
I kept the hydro grown Cj seeds separate from the Coco grown seeds. Do you think because they were grown in different mediums they will be different, does that even matter?

 

[vilify]

What I would do to get a hold of some of those ancient beans...

I also have to agree with the previous. I dont much pay attention to my seeds anymore, but they are beautiful.

 

[DoobieBrother]

I'd think that they'd be the same.
If non-feminized, the only thing I could think that might be different is the male/female ratio.
But that's only conjecture on my part.
Do plants grown using hydro finish flowering any faster than soil/coco, and if so, will that have an influence on male/female ratios when germinated & grown?
Now you have me thinking...
... how dare you!



I think it will be a glorious day when it's finally legal to unravel the mysteries of cannabis botany and universities get involved in figuring out what makes them tick.
I hope Monsanto is barred from the research & development, though, as they are a black hole of progress.

 

[vilify]

I had thought UMass was allowed to research, but after looking, that doesnt seem to be the case.

Maybe it was a dream =/ haha
