Nanna's showing on Pollinated plant?

[Qwobbler]

Hey all,

 

Just a quicky, have never done much breeding, but wanted to have a go at a couple of crosses.

 

1 in particular, Was what we thought was a female in week 2/3 of flower, had white pistles everywhere and did not show any signs of random flowers. Pollinated with a very strong male (Different Strain) that seemed to only have nothing but male pollen sacks. So in our eyes we had a perfect Male and Female.

Its now 4 weeks, seeds are looking strong, BUT, just only noticed a few nanna's sticking out from between some of the clusters of seeds.

 

Does this mean the female or male was actually a hermie, so all the seed will more than likely have hermie traits? could it be stress from the bloody hot 36 to 38 degrees days? and if that is the case, could the nannas just have popped out from the heat stress in the last week or so, therefore, the polination from the nanas would not have taken effect and the seed is what we intended?

 

Cheers

I'm going to have a stab in the dark and say it was the heat, it could have been a couple of things though. IE strain heat or maybe some light leaked in. Wishing you the best!

not a breeder so really not sure

 

hard to know if the girl you pollinated had a predisposition to herm or problems like heat caused the herm 

but i'm not sure that matters now that the herming has presented it's self in a girl making seeds 

my guess , & just a guess would be , the resulting seeds will be predispositioned to herm

My guess is the same too what a shame... Was a Thai x Ducks foot. Damn damn

Thanks for havin a stab... we wil come back to this post in about 2-3 months and confirm what happened, the seeds look amazing

Even though I'm a pollen chucker (pollen duster to be closer to the point, that grows one strain at a time). I'll usually set aside 4 to 6 females of my choice and pollinate a cola or two of each plant with the 1 male I've settled on. Then I'll label the females numerically or alphabetically, and finish off the crop. Then dry the seeded cola's separately from the rest of buds.

 

Then a month or two later I'll de-seed those colas and finish curing the seeds off in separate cups that I've also labelled. Then a few months later after I've trialed all of the smoko, I'll settle on one or two of the better females and keep the seeds for my seedstock and ditch the rest.

 

There's more to it than just quality of smoko alone. Like varying phenotypes, mould resistance, node spacing, weight, etc.. But yeah, that's a system I've developed that works for me.

 

The point of my drivel above is that I've pollinated a few just in case something goes south on me during the process. Hopefully no issues will arise with the girl you've seeded, Qwobbler. And the nanna's end up being a non-issue after all.

Man i have only had a cross of the duck foot, would love to try it on its own.

Ahh.. the old elusive Duck's Foot.

thanking you all for your great knowledge and kind words. if they are good, we can share them, there are so many wont know for about 6 months or so though

 

cheers
