How did your PCK finish outdoors ?
How did your PCK finish outdoors ?
It looks like my one PCK is getting close to finished already. Here's a couple of pics from yesterday. This plant did not really get to the same size as my PCK plant last year in the same spot. I'm not sure if it was soil and season conditions or this plant had genes to go to a smaller size.

Most of the plant.

I just dug through my trim/shake "I'll probably make iso later" container for some of my PCK female from the PCK/PanamaDC cross. Man, she's good. Super low yielder and all indica, but easy to spot with her dark purple, tiny rock hard buds.
Here's a shot of one of the girls from that cross. Overall structure on this one is all PDC, but we'll see how the buds turn out. I need some PCK back in my life.

I think your pheno may be similar to mine, judging by the dark purple, almost black look of the flowers. Only time will tell. Aromas are mostly vinegar and tangy. Let's see how a week of sun will contribute
I couldn't resist to sprinkle a bit of Erdpurt x Kali China pollen on her
What can one expect running the feminized seeds vs regular? Also is the Cannabiogen stock any different? I take it less phenotyical variation and potential better selection in the fems with possible loss in vigor?
I grew the regular years ago, however...
I have some paki seeds from the Pakistani Hindu Kush range as well as some X18 in which I will do a future breeding program and am looking at getting some fems of PCK potentially.
Fem seeds shouldn’t offer any lower yields unless you manage to get an s1.. as far as I understand it’s pretty much same as regular seeds you just remove the male part of the equation. They’re not “more inbred” in any sense beyond being able to see directly what female flower traits a parent will likely offer as opposed to guessing wether a male will yield females that taste great with nice bud structure etc... in that way the genetic selection is narrowed more quickly towards whatever traits desired by breeders simply by virtue of being more readily observed.
Or I think that’s how it works at least...I’m still just chucking pollen and hoping for magic. Definitely not a breeder or genetics expert..
Thanks for the input, I've done a few fem projects myself. I ask of vigour due to my own experience with fem breedings.
It really depends on how many individuals or “phenos” and strain specific traits. Typically I observe reduced vigour in subsequent generations and clone longevity deterioration in most lines albeit usually slight but sometimes very pronounced.
PCK is not suitable for scrogging. It just barely branches out, so there’s not much to lst either. Check out my PCK album for some indoor shots. Great for a SOG though. Or top low to get 4-6 main colas, then you might lst them a bit outwards. They flower so fast it’s worth putting some extra time in vegging them into a desirable structure first.
