Hello. This is the first week of veg for Blackberry Moonrocks.
I got 6 normal looking seedlings for 6 spaces in the greenhouse for this summer
But 3 look strange. I got 1 twin that I separated for 2 plants. But there was another twin that ripped off it's own head trying to get out of the shell.
Or it didn't fully form a head inside the shell. This one has strange second leaves too. Got some mutation going on.
It's these weird plants that the mutations might show something special, Like a new taste or a really strong plant. They might be crap too.
I think it's worth the time to see. I'll try to grow them out. Then we'll see.
That's how Cheese was found. It was a home grower that found it when he germinated a Skunk #1 seed.
Then he took it to a good breeder, in England I believe, and the rest is history.
Keep Growing Straight.
Chuck.
Hello. After 30 years of growing, I've found my first twin. Can they be separated? Have you heard of it being done or have you done it or should I just cut the weaker stem out? What other advice can you give on this matter. Chuck.
Are they separate or conjoined? If so separate safely. If joined them I'd grow as is to see how it turned out. It's rare so a documented experiment would be interesting. If you are only growing that one then maybe start another.
I feel if you cut it off there is a big chance both will die. They are fragile.
Let em ride dude
Hello. I asked a question about twins a day ago. Gently dug down to find a root for each stem. Separation successful. My question now is - are they identical or not? I my mind they are, What do you think. Chuck.
genetic mapping.. no way to see a physical thing that results from the fertilized egg splitting or if there were 2 unique eggs fertilized to start.
might have a good guess, but can't be certain of it.
