Mutant Pheno Hunt

Here we go on another run together and trust me, this will definitely be something different and very interesting as I've been invited to be a 'Test Grower' for Terpyz Genetics. Formerly Terpyz x Kalyseeds who, for those 'in the know', are known for their breeding of cannabis mutations and the results they've gotten. Terpyz has asked me to perform a pheno hunt on two of their new MUTANT strains; DW IBL x (Pablo Picasso | Lemon Alien NL) x Blue Booby and Z.U.P. SWAG V4 Big Purple and I'll tell you... I'm SUPER stoked to get these seeds germinated and begin to increase my knowledge of growing these mutant strains! So how this hunt is going to work is this: Germinate 10 seeds(regulars) of each strain, grow out the plants and establish which are Male/Female, remove ALL males and continue to grow and photograph the females picking out the female of each strain which best represents the traits that the breeder is seeking... sound like fun doesn't it! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE STRAINS: ~ Duckweb IBL X Alien Picasso F1) X Blue Booby F1 ~ ~ Z.U.P SWAG is (SWAG variegated Ultra V4 (Kalyseeds) x Opalo NL TerpyZ Select F2) ~ Description: [Duckweb IBL X Alien Picasso F1) X Blue Booby F1] This line brings together some of our favorite Duckfoot lines. The mother plant of this cross: Duckweb IBL x Alien Picasso F1 had intoxicating Caramel Candy terps with Pine and Fuel undertones. Duckweb IBL from Olympic Seeds pure Indica originating in Afghanistan. It is an inbred webbed landrace with beautiful magenta/pink pistils, good potency and outstanding stability. It has an extremely Uplifting and Happy, Social high associated with Sativa. Alien Picasso F1 is a cross that we made of a super gassy OG Kush-leaning Pablo Picasso and Lemon Alien, both of which are genetics derived from Kalyseeds. Alien Picasso F1 (Pablo Picasso x Lemon Alien) Blue Booby F1 (Puffin F3 X Moon Duck F4) is a Poly-hybrid webbed leaf by Fygtree. Puffin (Super Silver Haze x Tropica Race (Purple Haze X Indian Summer Kaly Duck)) Moon Duck (Ducksfoot IBL x Vanilluna) Description: [ Z.U.P SWAG is (SWAG variegated Ultra V4 (Kalyseeds) x Opalo NL TerpyZ Select F2) ] There's not a lot of information on this strain yet because it's so new but what I've been able to gather so far is, that one phenotype of Z.U.P Swag was a tall plant with a Christmas tree structure had purple flowers, and leaves with prominent purple coloration. It also had good flower structure, and excellent vigor. The only other data I could gather is that the male used was from a Opalo population which was selected in the 2nd generation, with dense flower structure and great terpenes! I'm sure this grow will add to the available knowledge of this strain! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WEEKLY UPDATE: 3/9- Here we go into the 5th week of veg for both mutant strains! All the plants are looking and doing great with excellent color and vigor! I do have two of the Z.U.P. SWAG's that are exhibiting zero mutation, basically appearing as normal. The leaves on them have serrated tips that are possibly a little more pointy than a non-mutant, but barely noticeable. All of the plants were watered today with .25g of well water that I added 5ml/g of Earth Juice OilyCann to, than ph'd it to 6.3 @ 74℉. 3/11- After checking all of the plants mediums today with a Soil Moisture Probe, their medium was still pretty moist so I did not water. I have been keeping a close eye on the tent temperature and RH, keeping the temperature running at 76-78℉ when the light is on, and 70-72℉ when the light is off. The RH in the 4x4 has bee running 45-55%. I will very soon be replacing the Unit Farm 100w light with a HLG 225 which I feel the plants will benefit from its higher PPFD output. 3/13- Today All of the plants were watered with .5g of straight well water that I ph'd to 6.4 @ 73℉. After watering, I went ahead and turned all the pots 1/2 turn so all sides were getting even light exposure which should not be as big an issue when I switch over to the more powerful HLG 225 tomorrow! 3/15- Today after checking all with a Soil Moisture Meter they were all still wet so I skipped any watering and will wait for them to dry out another day or two. All of the plants are doing great, even the #6 DW IBL which is absolutely the funkiest of the bunch with twisted branches and wild looking leaves! While doing a routine check of my equipment, I noticed that the dial on my light timer was frozen effectively leaving the lights on for 24 hours. I check my equipment every two days so I don't think that it will have any detrimental effect on the plants. I do plan on changing the light cycle to 14 hours on / 10 hours off in preparation of placing some of the plants outside to finish once the weather here breaks in another month. When they're moved outside where they will be receiving approximately 13 1/2 hours of sunlight daily in the beginning. My thoughts are that by reducing the light cycle now it will reduce any stress caused from dropping from 18 hours of light to 13... we'll see! Well it was an interesting week for sure and I'm really looking forward to Week 6 where hopefully I will start to be able to tell sexes on the plants! Thanks for visiting, I truly appreciate it! ❤️ Thank you very much for following along and for all the positive comments and ❤️! May ALL your days and grows be Blessed! 🙏❤️
