Srange sprout

[UBENHADD]

:shock Hi all:

I sprouted an AK-47 and it came out with 3 round leaves then the first leaves was 3 allso What gives ???

It was about 1" tall in rockwell plug i put into grow rock in 5' basket and placed in bubbler with B C nutes at 1/4 strength, 2 days later leaves were dark green 1/3 from stem then light green next 1/3 then brownish to tip. I drained nutes and put fresh water with clearex in. Did i do right or what ?????

 

 

Will be waiting for replie while I :smoke

 

 

Thankx much.

deformed plants sprout up like that all the time...sometimes it can be a great advantage to have as they have like 3x the foliage of other mullies about and they can grow much quicker and a bit more dense :thumbsup

 

the majority of the time though, they turn out to be hermi or male :thumbdown never know though, u might get lucky but im thinking that u have about a 95% chance of that seedling being male or hermi :thumbdown

Yes, that's true. Whether the triple noded plants are actually more vigourous or able to produce more per plant than a "normal" opposite double noded plant is debateable, but they do pop up in seeds now and again. I have a Skunk x White widow mother plant which started out that way, and it turned out to be female after all....

 

Still, I would definitely concur on the hermi-male percentage, almost all of the plants I've grown which have this triple noding do turn out male, but that SK x WW was an exception to the rule. And just in case you're wondering, no, it wasn't an exceptional plant either, and it's flowering out its final days now.

 

Hope that helps.

Such are the virtues and disadvantages of growing plants eh?

 

Good luck with the seedlings.

skunk x white widow sounds a bit of alright :smoke

[Luke Skywalker]

Yeah, it was okay, but couldn't compare to the WW and BW I've got. So it's leaving my garden.

 

Personal preference and all that ya know?

How many nplants you got now Luke?

[Luke Skywalker]

How many plants or strains? ::

 

I've got Blue Widow, BlueWidow x WhiteWidow, (aka "pale blue widow", my own crossing), White Widow, dutch passion purple star, and a few unknown strains from the c-net challenge, (damn, gotta get that done one-a these days....)

 

Hope to add some others soon, but been buying too many orchids.

 

Just found that one of my Pale Blue Widow seedlings is a girl too, so it'll be making an appearance in the growroom soon I think. Can't wait.
