Why did you switch nutrients to Canna, if you have had success and satisfaction with Mills? I would just switch back to the nutrients that have worked well for you. I personally dont think your plants look bad. Its just a minor deficiency.

Its just a mutation. Genetics. Nothing to fret about, it looks cool. :cool:

bongsmilie They dont look too bad. Ive seen worse. LOL Have you made any of the recommended adjustments? :eyesmoke:

I dont think thats true. Its hard to know what genes are dominant/recessive without growing a few dozen plants of each strain. The only way to know whats what is to grow out a few dozen F1 plants. If your trying to unlock more genetic variation, select and cross the uncommon F1 plants. By the...

Growers do this all the time. No one can predict wether the F1 progeny will have a high number of hermaphrodites. You just have to test a few dozen seeds. As you continue with your breeding project, select the plants that are hardy/stable and take them to F2, F3, etc. Make sure to thoroughly...

Welcome to the party

You can backross to the original parent whenever you want. Back crossing is mostly for locking down certain traits/phenotypes. For example, the male has a thin sharp leaf structure, and the female has a fat leaf structure. Lets say that all of F1 plants inherited the fat leaf pheno, and your...

If this is your first attempt at making seeds, dont overthink it. Select a good looking male and cross it with every female that you like. Dont bother trying to stabilize any phenos, or making an IBL. Once you grow out a few dozens seeds of your F1 crosses, you will get a better idea of whats...

I was in the greenhouse checking on the F1 plants and one of them turned out to be a male. I took the top and decided to propagate it. I will use it to make F2 seeds.

Looking good!

Ive rooted clones in many different mediums. Peat moss always causes yellowing. It doesn't really matter, imo. Once they develop roots, all they need is a little fertilizer to get them healthy and on track. Different mediums in combination with different strains/plants is just a few of the...

I shuffled 7 plants into the flower tent. They are all looking a bit hungry, but all in all they did well in those quart containers. There are 4 unique plants that I have high hopes for. One of them seems to be a uniform fusion of both strains. I will take more detailed pictures of the plants...

When I see those colors and patterns on my plants, its always 3 things. Over watering, ph to acidic, needs more Nitrogen. I fix it by allowing the pots to dry out to the point where the plants are getting a little wilted, then I feed and water. I am growing in soil, but I think the same...

Your indoor set up was looking really good. Sucks that the whole grow had to get scrapped. Your first crop turned out amazing. Hopefully the next run goes smoothly.

Have you looked into auto flower sativas? Might be a good fit for your climate.
