"
The male is obtained from a determinated quantity of plants growth with a mitothic inhibitor that give us polysomic plants. This mutant hybrids has been selected and classified with the best properties in order to obtain a new potential genetic in a new cross."

From Afghan Kush special, from world of seeds bank. I understand a little on how they made it a mutant. Not sure why, or for what phenos they were looking for. And explain this "selected and classified with the best properties in order to obtain a new potential genetic in a new cross"

Thank you .

Anyone grow this yet?

Been smoking it for a while now and love it. Really screws with your sense of time. :eyesmoke:

Not really sure what the other stuff means that you posted. :???:

Yeah, its a cut paste job of world of seeds description of their strain. Kind of cryptic almost huh?? Nice pics!

couple questions. Any issues with bud rot/mold and how many watts were those plants in pics grown under?

TY!

Its reference to it being an hybrid of a Monsanto GMO. It mentions a Genetically modified father on another one of their descriptions.

"Mutants" can be awesome keepers to

Thanks! It's an easy growing plant, really hardy and the yield's good. :leaf:

400W HID, no issues with mold or rot.

Awesome. Ive currently been running a white widow, not sure of the breeder but shes been through a ton of stress and almost never had issues. Bud rot outside in a very rainey oct this year after starting her kind of late, so i almost blame myself for it any hoot.

This aks sounds great. I wonder what was mutant about it,or possible new traits they were talking about.

Also,how did she handled being topped/fimmed? Seems most strains dont mind it, but i have a bubba kush that just hated life after for some reason.

Its largely a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo used as ad copy.

But taking the claims at their word, this means the plant was treated with a chemical agent that prevents chromosomes from dividing ("mitotic inhibitor"). The usual one that people use for this purpose is colchicine.

This process (which, I might add, is real) creates a mutant "polysomic" plant that has multiple sets of chromosomes. Again, the usual term people use for this is "polyploid", not polysomic, but its the same thing.

With most organisms, mutants like this die immediately, but plants with multiple extra sets of chromosomes can live. In fact, plants with multiple sets of chromosomes sometimes have unusual traits like extra size, etc. Supposedly polyploid marijuana plants can have unusual characteristics.

Then they took these mutant plants, and selected the best ones for future crossing. They didn't specify which properties they were selecting for.

And that's it.

I grew out 2 seeds and topped them both, one of them sprouted little balls at the nodes I topped it at but I plucked them off and sprayed it with Dutch Master Reverse and nothing came back. Other than that they were great.

Actually, correcting myself here the two terms are NOT the exact same thing.

"Polyploid" means that the plant has an exact multiple of its normal number of chromosomes. For example, instead of having 12 chromosomes, it might have 24 or even 36.

"Polysomic" means the plant just has extra chomosomes. It could be any amount more than the normal amount, with or without full extra copies of every chromosome. So instead of 12, it could have 13, 14, 20, 24, 36, etc.

But for purposes of THIS discussion, I'm probably "close enough".
