Day 28 (24.04.2024):
In the larger potties, the Monster Hunters get a real growth spurt. I'll probably trim a few tips at the end of the week so they grow bushier and stay smaller.
The daytime temperature is 22 degrees, but this refers to the air temperature in the shade. In the sun, the thermometer measures over 36 degrees at noon.
Day 31:
Today I pinched off the tips of the MonsterHunters and the Freakshows so that they grow bushy and stay smaller.
It certainly hurts me more than the plants. Because the growing leaves become more and more beautiful from node to node. But they have all summer to develop the impressive leaves.
Day 34 (30.04.2024):
The Monster Hunters have beautiful leaves, with a healthy, strong green. After topping, the side branches start to grow stronger.
The leaves of the Freakshow don't quite correspond to the fern type yet, the later leaves will increasingly form the correct leaf shape.
I havenāt come across many ABC hybrids but they always look cool. This is the first time Iāve seen a leaf mutation as well as leaf colors besides green. Very beautiful work!!
I've been looking to make a couple crosses of ABC and my favorite strains.
@Jon_doe12,
I think you should still take this male. Because it is enough when both parents carry the recessive ABC gene for it to appear again in the offspring. The leaf shape is much easier and earlier to select in the following generation than a fantastic smell or good stature.
@BalticHaze, Some of the freebies I got where ABC crossed with an unknown f2. These seeds popped within 2-3 day. 2/8 have the little claw on its true leaves. I lost one after it fell and broke at day 7. I shouldāve tried to root it. Theyāre about 2-3 weeks old now.
I popped 4 ABC seeds. Took a week for them to sprout, and only 2 made it. The seeds are super tough and they are as slow growing as most people describe them but I also grow them in my windowsill, so they only get 5 hours of direct sun light.
I plan on observing the 7 ABC crosses for the smells, growth habits/mutations, tastes, as well as the trichome production and crossing my favorites for and f2 generation as soon as they show signs of sex. Iām hoping that at least one of the plants with slight mutations is a male. My favorite in terms of smell and stature as of right now hasnāt demonstrated any signs of mutation so far but it has a skunky smell already and skunk is one of my favorite scents. Skunk strains arenāt something many people are smoking or selling anymore in my region.
I gotta check terpyz out thanks!!
