Twins

**gord** · 04-17-2009, 03:34 AM

Pollinated unknown female with purps male. Got seeds. Now, seed is very hard to germinate (maybe 1-2 out of 15 seeds). Even stranger, about 50% of germinated seeds produce plants that are twins (two plants from one seed). Never heard of it and confused – wtf is going here. Explanations and opinions very welcome.

What soil/system are you using?

**SpruceZeus** · 04-19-2009, 04:00 PM

did you let the seeds mature on the plant? did you dry them well?
poor germination can usually be explained by immature seeds or poor humidity/temperature.

as for the 2 for 1 thing. I've heard of it before but have no clue why this would be more prominant.

Right now I have 7 plants in veg and 1 is a twin I've never seen 1 before and will be interested to see what responses you get . I'm thinking of topping both and see if I get 8 big colas.

Topping is good idea. Keep us informed. I will lollipop instead.

It is a twin from germ, it looks like one plant with another smaller shoot coming out the side that is half as tall as the main. Mine is a bc big bud.
