3 plus 3=?

I was recently going through some old weed things i had and found a bag of (probably canadian regs because i live in the upper midwest) reg seeds. So i was going through a picking out the good ones when i came across one that seemed a little odd to me. Now most seeds are 2 sides... well this seed had THREE SIDES, i wish i could just grow it out right now to see what it would do, but due to certain circumstances, things have been halted for me.

so i was wondering is there anything special about this seeds genetics, as it is 3 sides instead of 2? Thanks for the help, just thought i'd ask an expert.

you know its funny, but whenever I think I have found one thats deffo going to be tri (due to being bigger, an irregular shape, or whatever) it's normally not. The one and only way I've found to find them, is to plant a lot of seeds and keep the few you want.

Ahh, well i guess only time will tell, i figured it would have 3 leaves because it had 3 creases in the seed like separating it into 3 sections instead of 2. Well thanks for the quick reply ;-P best of luck with the breeding!

Brother Sack, glad you popped out of chat and called into the thread. The next round should be an interesting one. Yeah on the trich front, I tried taking em out of the best spot in the grow the last week, all that direct light and heat isnt good for trichs on these. Not darkness, just out to the side, seemed to do the trick, certainly something I'll be repeating.

Hey Bird, always a pleasure to see you keeping an eye on whats going on in here. You'll like the next round, I'm doing the tri F4s and tri F3s and planning on a backcross. Either way, there will be plenty of tris around. I also have some of the quad offspring in soil waiting to sprout, so there maybe something or nothing in that pot.

Speaking of the quad offspring, here's the last plant in flower right now. There were 3 girls this round, 2 bruised nuts f4s, sharing a small tub with reused soil in it as an experiment, they were the shots you've seen, and were a couple weeks ahead of the last one which is a tri offspring from the quad bnF4 I pollinated with a side line tri male. I'm not overly happy with it so far, though the buds seem to be filling in now and could end up ok considering it didnt get much light to begin with. I'm guessing 2 weeks to go. Then on with the next round.

w-hoa, That looks Nice Core, doind a bang up job I see. No I wont be flushing mine, no point, I never fed it. The lazy thing, well somewhere in between 9 and 15 hours of light a day, depending on when I got up/ remembered to flick the switch back off again. Watered when I felt like it rather than when it wanted it, and let to dry till wilting twice, (to make bending it easier and less likely to break the stem). Prety lazy, though it did get brand new fresh compost to grow in, so it wasn't as poorly treated as it sounds. I'll get some bud shots once the buds are worth photoing. Its the next round I'm wanting to get on with now, looking forward to the next one.

Had 4 F4s going and 3 F3s, selections have started already, now down to 2 F3s and 3 F4s. The F4s are about 10 days ahead of the F3s, which will be handy at sexing. One thing I cant work out is why are cotty leaves so hairy.

Hi Jay ya stoner, stop forgetting lol.

Hi Lowlander, thanks for the props, the pics just arent as clear as they can be. I have an extention tube on the camera so I can attach conversion lens' and it sits in the way of the autofocus system and plays havock with the autofocus. Still, more pics at the weekend.

Hi and thanks Sam,
this is the side cross, mother was the quad. Not so impressed up to now, but starting to be. Depends on how well she fills in over the next week or 2.
