[clorox]

the plants are lookin perfect brother, i bet your lickin your chops already! that chocolate trip x DC sounds like a real winner

keep up the good work homie

 

[Brother Bear]

cellardweller - not saving the pollen for me
there will come a day when Bear starts making seeds
but thats gonna be a few years

Prof Sublime - me too !!! but i would be (really really)happy with a spicy pheno like i found in my first pack

FoothillsFarmer - well hey yerself and see how you like it

clorox - thanks man, and you know i am !!
chocolate trip x DC will be the very next seed pack i pop guarantee that brother !!

 

[arcticsun]

i gotta envy the endless list of incredible genetix u sport bear

gonna do some crosses myself come summer when i can free a room for males. got some nice bubba and romulan kush males, ill make f2s and a few other kush crosses. strawberry atleast.

 

[swampdank]

Ya that. Very clean too.

 

[Brother Bear]

thanks guys
arcticsun - good luck with your seed makin

------------------------
well most my RKSxDC are already above soil line
and i now realize i do not have enough light in my veg room
cannot get more lights on a sunday around here
all the Mennonites are closed LOL
but early Monday morning i will be getting some of them flood lights used by construction workers
cheap !! CFL - and bright as hell

more pics tonight probably the last set is probably a page back for most of you guys

Chocolate Chunk S1 from a nanner last run

here is the other pheno showing, they are supposed to be 100% indica

i noticed something the other day man, watch.

does that plant seem to have similarities in leafstructure to your CC in your eyes? its a strawberry smile from dutch quality seeds (UK). pic is from day 15 of flowering. ill try to get a better shot at a single leaf for ya the lights come on in an hour. i also have a blueberry from spliff seeds (also UK) with the same distinct leafshape. where the 3 center leaftips are of equal lenght and kind of overlapping. aggressive looking kind of.

this make any sence to you?

 

[cellardweller]

damn Amish..lmao..

 

[Brother Bear]

arcticsun - in my eyes they all look the same
unless it is very sativa next to a very indica
once they flower i can tell differences, well most of the time

cellardweller - you would know bro

 

[johnipedestran]

heres a little story. really sad.

a few years back we were driving home from Lancaster. The wife and I had been up there shopping...big surprise.
so the roads are kinda twisty, and two lane. we came around a curve, and an Amish buggy was stopped. So was a Grand Cherokee that had a couple little girls in it. The father was outside the car talking to the Amish dude.
The Amish dudes horse was visibly injured on the side of the road. not moving. on its side. I think the dude in the Cherokee hit the horse. How fucked up is that? How about for the little kids????

Rumspringer bitches.....

peace
jip

Hey Arctic,

Sorry to ask what seems to me to be a dumb question, simply because I hear...well see, everyone on here speaking on the pheno's of a particular plant. You see, this is my FIRST grow and prior to this I didn't know ANYTHING about this wonderful little plant except for knowing which end of my Blunt to light. But, what the hell is a pheno and is there ANY way for me to know anything about Phenos or types of weed when I am growing from bagseed, and the most information you get around here when you purchase is "this shit is da bomb" or "I got some of that Whoohoo for ya", and so far I haven't seen any seeds anywhere aptly named "This shit is da bomb" or "Whoohoo". So how do I figure out the types of weed I have growing or the phenos of that weed...What is a pheno anyway....

Hey thanks for your help in advance....

 

[Brother Bear]

johnipedestran - oh wow man i have never seen anything like that yet
and i live here, but honestly i am glad for it
i tend to think about shit like that for years... but i seems you do too :friends:

jalajaslet - welcome to my thread
a question like that would probably be best sent in a PM to arcticsun

feel free to stop back any time though
i am sure you will find your answers soon enough :wink:

Thanks Brother. I have been hanging around your thread for a few weeks now, Soaking in your knowledge, making a few posts and asking a few questions and I sure appreciate the help I get. Every bit helps.... I would definitely have sent a PM to him as opposed to taking up space in your thread, but for some reason i am STILL not able to see pics or send PM's. I thought the posting limit was 50 to access these features, but I MUST have been mistaken. I apologize

 

[Brother Bear]

no problem brother
i believe the post count has changed to 75, but i am not sure about that
check the website support forums at the bottom of all the forums
your answer should be in there

your quite welcome to chill in here and get that post count up
we like to stretch 'ol Bears threads out long as it can get LOL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotype

A phenotype is any observable characteristic or trait of an organism: such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, or behavior. Phenotypes result from the expression of an organism's genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and possible interactions between the two. The genotype of an organism are the inherited instructions it carries within its genetic code. Not all organisms with the same genotype look or act the same way, because appearance and behavior are modified by environmental and developmental conditions. Also in the same way, not all organisms that look alike necessarily have the same genotype. This genotype-phenotype distinction was proposed by Wilhelm Johannsen in 1911 to make clear the difference between an organism's heredity and what that heredity produces.[1][2] The distinction is similar to that proposed by August Weismann, who distinguished between germ plasm (heredity) and somatic cells (the body). A more modern version is Francis Crick's Central dogma of molecular biology.

Despite its seemingly straightforward definition, the concept of the phenotype has some hidden subtleties. First, most of the molecules and structures coded by the genetic material are not visible in the appearance of an organism, yet they are observable (for example by Western blotting) and are thus part of the phenotype. Human blood groups are an example. So, by extension, the term phenotype must include characteristics that can be made visible by some technical procedure. Another extension adds behaviour to the phenotype since behaviours are also affected by both genotypic and environmental factors.


Biston betularia morpha typica, the standard light-coloured Peppered Moth.
Biston betularia morpha carbonaria, the melanic Peppered Moth, illustrating discontinuous variation.Second, the phenotype is not simply a product of the genotype, but is influenced by the environment to a greater or lesser extent (see also phenotypic plasticity). And, further, if the genotype is defined narrowly, then it must be remembered that not all heredity is carried by the nucleus. For example, mitochondria transmit their own DNA directly, not via the nucleus, though they divide in unison with the nucleus.

The phenotype is composed of traits or characteristics [3]. Some phenotypes are controlled entirely by the individual's genes. Others are controlled by genes but are significantly affected by extragenetic or environmental factors. Almost all humans inherit the capacity to speak and understand language, but which language they learn is entirely an environmental matter.


[edit] Phenotypic variation
Phenotypic variation (due to underlying heritable genetic variation) is a fundamental prerequisite for evolution by natural selection. It is the living organism as a whole that contributes (or not) to the next generation, so natural selection affects the genetic structure of a population indirectly via the contribution of phenotypes. Without phenotypic variation, there would be no evolution by natural selection.

The interaction between genotype and phenotype has often been conceptualized by the following relationship:

genotype + environment → phenotype
A slightly more nuanced version of the relationships is:

genotype + environment + random-variation → phenotype
Genotypes often have great flexibility in the modification and expression of phenotypes, in many organisms these phenotypes are very different under varying environmental conditions. The plant Hieracium umbellatum is found growing in two different habitats in Sweden. One habitat is rocky, sea-side cliffs, where the plants are bushy with broad leaves and expanded inflorescences; the other is among sand dunes where the plants grow prostrate with narrow leaves and compact inflorescences. These habitats alternate along the coast of Sweden and the habitat that the seeds of Hieracium umbellatum land in, determine the phenotype that grows.[4]

An example of random variation in Drosophila flies is the number of ommatidia, which may vary (randomly) between left and right eyes in a single individual as much as they do between different genotypes overall, or between clones raised in different environments.

A phenotype is any detectable characteristic of an organism (i.e., structural, biochemical, physiological, and behavioral) determined by an interaction between its genotype and environment (of this distinction).

According to the autopoietic notion of living systems by Humberto Maturana, the phenotype is epigenetically being constructed throughout ontogeny, and we as observers make the distinctions that define any particular trait at any particular state of the organism's life cycle.

The idea of the phenotype has been generalized by Richard Dawkins in The Extended Phenotype to mean all the effects a gene has on the outside world that may influence its chances of being replicated. These can be effects on the organism in which the gene resides, the environment, or other organisms. For instance, a beaver dam might be considered a phenotype of beaver genes, the same way beaver's powerful incisor teeth are phenotype expressions of their genes. Dawkins also cites the effect of an organism on the behaviour of another organism, such as the devoted nurturing of a cuckoo by a parent clearly of a different species as an example of the extended phenotype.

The concept of phenotype can be extended to variations below the level of the gene that affect an organism's fitness. For example, silent mutations that do not change the corresponding amino acid sequence of a gene may change the frequency of guanine-cytosine base pairs (GC content). These base pairs have a higher thermal stability (melting point, see also DNA-DNA hybridization) than adenine-thymine, a property that might convey, among organisms living in high-temperature environments, a selective advantage on variants enriched in GC content.

LOL

 

[jalajaslet]

LOL

Your right Brother Bear....lol....

Ok I can't lie.....This Sister didn't understand ANY of that explanation. I thought it was just gonna be a simple answer like the color of the flowering site or the height or structure of the nodes...

Thanks for the answer access, now I wish i hadn't asked the question, cause it left me even more confused. I am finding that this growing thing is a lot more complicated than I initially though. Guess I'm gonna just go on downstairs and talk to my girls, continue to leave the radio on for them, water and feed when needed and say THANKS to them when I smoke they a$$ up at the end of the run.... I guess I will have the "Da Bomb" and "Whoohoo" growing in my basement too and will just enjoy what I ge tinstead of trying to find out WHAT it is......

thats not all Bear likes to stretch out
He's not called Bear for nuthin ya know!
