I just wanted to show you something I found very fascinating. I am really into breeding (plants in general) and genetics and stuff and I know a lot about it, but I am always amazed about the effects of recombination and "unstable" genetics.
I had a Cookies Gelato Automatic from Royal Queen Seeds. Due to some stress I guess it threw some bananas and pollinated itself. I didn't really see that and it was in total just 7 seeds on > 25 g of dried flower. Two of those seeds fell into the pot of the plant and sprouted. After I harvested the big plant I just kept those two small seedlings and potted them. A few weeks / 2 month tops later they are looking veeeeery different from each other. The small plant started flowering just 2 weeks into growing. The other started 2 weeks later.
They are so much off from each other and I am fascinated by the huge range of genetics that you can get from Polyhybrids by selfing them. But see for yourself. One is very little yield but the smell is awesome and towards some zkittlz smell, the other is not really smelling at all. Small one is pretty frosty, and I thought the big one has no trichomes at all, but under the microscope there is a totally different picture. The big one has maaaany trichomes but they are super small. I have the feeling it is pretty much leaning towards some sativa genetics.
Tbh I didn't really put much effort in them since it was just dropped seeds, but I am pretty sure the big one isn't going to finish, but the small one might give me a few grams of interesting bud.
Any thoughts?
