Hell yea, that's what I'm talking about. Cellular isolates, nice job. No question in my mind that some spots on the plants are hotter than others. Often it seems to be the leading tips, but not always. The inter noding is superior in these spots. Better inter noding equals more cola's, more budding rows, ect... Future generations remember that sort of complexity; even if it's only fractional. Little fractions add up over time.

I guess what I'm suggesting is this; everyone knows the tongue, or the loin offers some of the choices, tender meats. A foot, or a extremity cut, is not going to offer up the same quality, as a rib, or a center cut. Always keep those most choice cuts close; some of those can become propagating stocks.

Keeping original mothers may matter; but isolating good cuts is artwork IMO. It can (probably) be used to tease things out, I suspect, if it's done well enough, and (if) you get lucky, with timing, and selection. The plant is always in a state of flux, constantly evolving it's dna/rna as it's growing out, (new cells created) and interacting with the biota, it's metabolites, enzymes, precursors, nutrition (fuel) and environmental stimuli.

On that note; does this look like polyploid traits? Seems to have bled though that WW/GG cross I did awhile back, and I'm seeing it showing up in some of the next generation. What's your thoughts on what I'm looking at here.

Here's some stuff in this vein; My guess is the latter, the donor cells are different.... The first part could be in flux with some of what I describe above, so it's perhaps a little of both.

Scientists have known for some time that 'clonal' (regenerant) organisms are not always identical: their observable characteristics and traits can vary, and this variation can be passed on to the next generation. This is despite the fact that they are derived from genetically identical founder cells.

They found that observable variations in regenerant plants are substantially due to high frequencies of mutations in the DNA sequence of these regenerants, mutations which are not contained in the genome of the parent plant.

'Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery,' said Professor Harberd. 'They may arise during the regeneration process itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerant plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can say is that Nature has safely been employing what you might call a 'cloning' process in plants for millions of years, and that there must be good evolutionary reasons why these mutations are introduced.'



Monozygotic (identical) twins are natural clones. Clones contain identical sets of genetic material in the nucleus—the compartment that contains the chromosomes—of every cell in their bodies. Thus, cells from two clones have the same DNA and the same genes in their nuclei.

Monozygotic twins form from a single zygote that divides into two separate cell masses, each giving rise to an independent individual.

So in my mind, that means only true "clones" come from what they call tissue cultures. Wouldn't that be cool to lift this off the ground as a tool bud? What do you think? It's not rocket science. lol 😂

I dunno, IME, given proper care and time, even the gangliest(?) get with the program... However, taking cuts from newer growth is the ticket to cuts that thrive in a hurry.
Tissue culture interests me... But moreso for vaulting things long(er) term... Maintaining eighty cultivars in a cloning cycle, when you're only flowering a dozen (or so) at a time, is kinda ridiculous.

Lovely... I use a magnifier app, on my phone, to try to get those kind of shots... But they just don't compare to a good camera and lens.

These are just the plants that I have in soil.

I have others, in rooters, that are not on that list.

I culled 32 a couple of days ago...

Hey Bud , you write on both sides of the page ? 🤔
Yet you won't split or boil your rapid rooters ......very suspicious

These seeds were dropped after I joined this forum.

View attachment 1051090

They are:
5 - Chem Dog 2017
6 - Guava D
11 - Mad Dawg
2 - Disco Funk

Figured I should start a grow diary to document them, and other things cannabis in my life.

They were started in my intro thread found HERE
Mr Budman, those baby plants look, I mean looked, great. While I'm not familiar with disco funk and mad dawg (chemdog cross?) I'm familiar with, but never grew Guava.
However, I am not only familiar with Chemdog, but LOVE & CHERISH the old Chemdog numbers. Jebus, for this old fart, it is my top of the pops type weed. But that's just how I respond to it.
Ever hear of "Permafrost"? Had that Lysol taste I pine for....get it? Pine for. There was good strains going around back then. Buthell,there's always good strains going around, 'eh? But nothing like Butterscotch Hawaiian X G13. I miss old breeders. Anyway, it would take a looooong time to read all your posts. So I prolly won't. I WILL be watching, though. One question please: what do you think about Autos? No hurry,take your time,and thanx.. thejack. '

Good, I'll get on it and start investigating it more toughly, I just wanted to get your thoughts on it first. As long as we got the specimens, then it should be a go, I can't see any issues. Like you said, having the optimum health parameters and whatnot in line is of paramount importance, cause preserving new growth in an optimum state is ideal, I would think.

So that will likely entail getting a system in place here, perhaps, first; then getting that stuff out too you, with any support you need to make it into a reality. I know we can do this; I'm quite sure of it. It's just getting all the pH, and some bio co-factors, a few enzymes, and bits of energy in vitro. easy peasy. (already have test tubes, need a stand) The biggest part, perhaps is having vigor, prolific hardiness built forward, going into the process. Not only getting them to take, but also effecting overall quality, and shelf life. Plus the environmental conditions, that's going to be a big factor also.

I’ve felt the same but after seeing your generosity it’s upped my generosity as well. You never know, someone’s life you change today might come back and change your life tomorrow. Generosity can go a long way.
That's a big fact Trustfall. You just never know. Weird things happen bro, and everyone doesn't look at the world the same way.

This thread really made my day.


Together maybe we can all defeat corporate/commercial weed 🤔
The farm reminds me of the federation; full of all sorts of different lifeforms, that (usually) get along.
That's a tall order, but certainly a worthwhile endeavor; if you can find like minded individuals. 😜

Just about how I look at things these day, it usually depends on how I'm feeling at any given moment. Laugh, or help, or both.

But, if your waiting on the SPD, I say, don't hold your breath too long...😉

Wowza, this is perhaps, one of the best ways to approach this I think; Difficult to believe I can get one of these at this price.

Anyone want to take a stab at what this thing does? 😂 I've spent many hours/years slaving around these things. Was part of my gig for a long time.
