I am still new to this site. Are community projects allowed?
I have always been intrigued by the Trifoliate mutation in cannabis. Rumors abound regarding reasons to just get rid of them as soon as you see them. This is easy to do since they show the mutation as a young seedling.
Rumors:
1. Trifoliates have "Triploid genes" and are therefore sterile.
2. Trifoliates tend to be males much more often than females.
3. Trifoliates will usually not display the mutation after the fifth node.
4. Trifoliates tend to go hermie much more often than not.
5. Trifoliates are the Devil ! ( mama says so )
I have always removed mine just because I do not want any extra risk involved in my breeding. If everyone else is doing the same thing...then how do we really know which of those rumors are true...and which are just the 'expert' opinion of keyboard growers?
I have ordered seeds for a high quality strain, Queen of Soul from Brother's Grimm, and the breeder claims that trifoliate plants run in these genetics. He says: "One last tip – look for trifoliate individuals – we have found them to be extra special."
My idea for a community project is:
Let's share pollen from any strong male trifoliate plants that we run across. Pollen can be mailed with no restrictions, and has a good shelf life if mixed with toasted flour and kept bone dry.
My first order of business is to germ all of these Queen of Soul seeds and make more seeds. Then I can start my pheno hunting.
Thoughts?
