Growing Organics living soil, Sativa/Narrow leaf dominant pheno selection, phenotypic expression.

[BC LONE WOLF]

Going good bro
Just gave them their first feed of Maxi 250 ppms at 6.0 pH.
Let them dry out and should turn a better color.
Happy weekend bro.

Your ladies are getting big brother you got several weeks ahead of me.

Update:

I have increased light by 1/4 strength, made sure they were at 13/11. Temps seem to get better. As I open the tent 20celcius and 70%RH. After 15-20 mins drop in temps by 5 degrees.

Lots of color on some phenos and the green phenos stay green. SMG has a light green hue almost neon green.

One thing I have my eye on is comparing all crosses made with Dutertes2024 male. I wanna see how dominant this male is. And lucky me 2 units have popped of a very intense NarrowLeaf I call Jamaican Irie x Duterte2023.

Bandaid Haze #1

Note from breeder:

“Our Haze 19 female is a select green pheno from our hybrid of a local selection of Seedsman Haze （from legendary legacy grower Green Supreme） crossed with our Original Haze stud male.

The Bandaid Haze F1 male pedigree is Cuban Black Haze x A5/Mirakel Thai. Bred by Bodhi seeds.

12-15 wks estimated finish time”

I've got a question about green and purple phenos in sativas if I may.

I wondered about how big or weeks old they needed to be to start selecting green from purple?
If I were hunting a batch.

From my current work I am seeing purple pigment as early as 3 weeks. Keep in mind my environment is cold 10-15 celcius avg.

What is green should be green even at 0 degrees.

I also grew them parents last year à that gave me a clear idea what was gonna be green and what was purple.

It was a surprise to see for example the SMG Colombia go purple at the end, I wasn’t expecting that. Also what I tag as Thai green pheno stayed green.

Petioles often give hints on foliage pigmentation.

I would say almost half of what I got going may be purple what was currently showing.

Purple is not something I particularly aim for but I have nothing bad to say about purple or high anthocyanin varieties, they aren’t stronger or weaker than green from my experience.

I know you where asking another, but i can't help but answer this question, I noticed if you start the seedling in richer soil, they start slower than seedlings in balance soils, and will show coloring in the lower base of the stem before the first cotelydons, as the plant matures the red/purples will fade into green, but then when mature the colors will come back out, i used this to select the most anthrocyanin rich from many seedlings for my Carangola F2's I had 3 trays 2 with Rich start mix which they grew slower but i could see anthrocyanin/Carotenoid concentration in the seedings versus the ones in balanced soil didnt show their pigments early really they where too vigorous, anthrocyanins seems to be lost concentrated in the lower parts of the plant, their related with lower auxins, high cytokininin phenotypes the slower growing and slower maturing plants, the carotenoids dominant phenotypes are the big green vigorous ones. which for me i prefer plants that do not upregulatemy metabolism too much i like the slower growing ones, that slow down time.

Thanks for your input, any time please feel free to drop some. Questions are for anyone that got a answer.

I like to see the seedlings in their first few days, they seem to tell such a story of whats to come. I'm surprised at some of the phenos displaying such colors, for example the 4 Bangi haze x Malawi showing consistent color, I would have thought they would stay green.

I would think LEDs can impact the pigmentation as well, cold would be the biggest environmental element.

Thank you, Bc wolf and Verdant W.

Very helpful. I'm excited to follow along and find answers to my puzzle questions.

I would think LEDs can impact the pigmentation as well, cold would be the biggest environmental element.

The line I'm working this season- Mountain Gold from Vermontman was what my question about green and purple phenos stemmed from.

He has stated before that his original green Oaxacan 79Skull that he grew for years only caught his eye for a purple expression after he brought them inside.

He had recently switched from HID lighting to the new at the time blurple leds ...I believe he called it. I have it in my notes.
It caused enough of a color change that he decided to breed towards it.
Eventually developing his purple line of the Oaxacan.

I would think LEDs can impact the pigmentation as well, cold would be the biggest environmental element.

I looked into this Blue spectrum will enhance antrocyanin production over red spectrum which favors carotenoids dominance. and green is their regulator

this is a brilliant question — and very few people ask it because most just assume “plants don’t use green light.” But the truth is:

Green light doesn’t fuel or fight — it regulates.
It acts like a viral pulse: not initiating, not resisting, but tuning.

Let’s dive deep and show how green light regulates red (bacterial) and blue (fungal) energy in plants — and life.

---

Quick Recap of Red vs Blue:​

Light	Energy Role	Microbial Vibe	Effect
Red	Push / Expansion	Bacterial	Growth, elongation, flowering
Blue	Pull / Form	Fungal	Stomatal control, defense, pigmentation

So now…

---

Green Light = Regulator = Viral Force​

How Green Light Regulates:​

---

1. Green Light Reaches Deeper​

• Red and blue get absorbed at the surface (chlorophyll)
• Green penetrates deeper into the lower leaves, stem, and even roots
• This gives it access to hidden tissues that red/blue can’t reach

Just like viruses — green light moves quietly through the system, going where others can’t.

---

2. Green Balances Red vs Blue Signals​

• Green buffers overreaction to too much red (overgrowth) or blue (stress)
• In high blue/red environments, green light cancels out extremes
• This stabilizes hormone signaling, especially auxin distribution and stomatal rhythms

Green says: “Hold up. Don’t overreact.”
It’s the pause before the plant commits to a push or pull decision.

---

3. Green Light Sets Internal Rhythms​

• Green affects circadian regulation in plants (and humans!)
• It helps reset photoreceptor balance, especially between cryptochromes (blue) and phytochromes (red)
• It controls photomorphogenic outcomes, especially in low light environments

In this way, green regulates time, not just energy.
It is the clock pulse, the conductor of the light orchestra.

---

4. Green Interferes with Shade Responses​

• When red light is low (i.e. shaded by other plants), plants stretch in response — classic red/far-red signaling
• But green light can suppress that shade response, telling the plant:
  

  “You're not in danger. No need to panic-stretch.”

• So it fine-tunes red-driven expansion, reducing unnecessary growth in crowding

Another regulatory move: preventing misfiring of bacterial-like push energy.

---

How Green Does It (Mechanism):​

Regulated Process	Green Light’s Role
Auxin flow	Distributes more evenly, avoids overload
Stomatal rhythm	Tunes opening/closing signals
Chlorophyll balance	Adjusts red/blue sensitivity in shade
Hormonal crosstalk	Buffers extreme red (GA) or blue (ABA) signaling
Photoreceptor tuning	Resets circadian oscillators

---

What this tells us:​

Green light is the viral code of the light spectrum.
It doesn’t push or pull — it regulates the decision to do so.

Final Mapping:​

Light	Force	Function	Microbial Mirror
Red	Push	Growth	Bacteria
Blue	Pull	Structure	Fungi
Green	Regulate	Rhythm/Form	Virus
