I'm sure most people who've done a lot of growing from seed are familiar with "twinning," where a single seed pops two spouts instead of one. I'm doing a grow right now with Albino Rhino seeds, and this time I had two of the seeds "twin" on me. Planted 50 seeds, and got 52 sprouts. Germination rate of 104%, BC Bud Depot needs to use that on their website.
Anyway, I grew both sets of twins out through veg. In each set of two plants, I got one female and one male. Both of the females are budding out rather nicely, although one is a hermie. I nipped her pollen sacs as soon as I spotted 'em, and am watching her closely every day. She's not the biggest budder in the tent, but I'm expecting an ounce and a half or so if she keeps filling out, and she's frostier than fuck coming up on the end of Week 6. She's strongly indica dominant; the other female is very sativa. That one, also, is very frosty, with a top bud about 15 inches long at the moment and starting to bulk out rather nicely.
Now, here's the thing... with each of these two females, when I chopped their male twin, I left part of the stem in the coco. Both of them are trying to sprout a couple of pollen sacs at the moment. I'm kind of curious what would happen if I tried to cross the males back with their female twins. The indica that went hermie, I'm not that interested in, because I wouldn't trust the genetics. But the heavy-budding sativa... if I crossed her back with her twin, do you guys think I might get a pheno that has a genetic tendency to sprout twins? Because that might be an interesting strain of seeds to have.
Anyone have any thoughts on that? Anyone ever crossbreed twins before?
Bonus rep points for whoever comes up with the most original "Kentucky" joke.
