Selecting for "green" sativa phenos in veg

[OldCoolSativa]

Sam, Kaiki, Tom Hill and several others who know their way around sativas have mentioned that the green phenos are generally the best. I just germinated a batch of punto rojo, and have observed that some of the early seedlings have red stems right below the cotyledons when they emerge from the soil, while others have little or none. I thought it would be a good idea to note the red and green stems at germination and see if it correlates with red and green phenos. Anyone else looked at this? Those of you growing out THH might want to check this. It would be awesome if this early trait was an indicator, which would allow you to cull all but the green phenos at the sprout stage.

Hello. I have seen many Punto Rojo CBG, Tom Hill Haze, OTH, Colombian Gold 72, Panamas...

As a general rule, the plants with red stems and petioles of the leaves are the ones that produce colorful flowers, but not always, sometimes this does not happen.

For example C.Gold 72 has red petioles and remains green even when cold Some OTH too.
Nature is capricious.
I advise you to cultivate them all, evaluate them and then stay with the one you like the most.

Evaluate vigor, sexual stability, resin, smell, effect...

I would also tell you not to look at the color. I have tried red or purple plants that are better than green ones, in my opinion.
Luck!

The plants that are most sensitive to calcium toxicity are the ones everyone happens to miss. The "whatever happened to" phenos.

Purple petioles: Excess Ca halting Phosphorus from metabolizing carbs for new root growth.

Hairy stalks: Excess Ca halting cellulose and silica cell wall development.

Twisted leaves: Excess Ca halting Boron-carb transport

Burnt margin: Excess Ca blocking K from metabolizing sugars into new growth.



Pretty soon we will be breeding for plants that dump all resources into above ground growth and have tiny roots. And "purps" that turn purple but don't have anthranilic acid/triptamines. And bud with aroma therapy terpenes instead of entourage inducing weed flavors. And high thc bud that doesn't get you high.






Cannabis genetics are at an all time low thanks to cannabis breeders who have collectively bred for their shitty fertilizer/lack of knowledge of Cannabis physiology, and spread this methodology of breeding the most pig-like live stock factory farm weed that's surely not stepping on the toes of big pharma with its medical value.

Grow any traditional strain next to the Diet Blue Glue Daydreamer Creamer Muffin Lite Brite #43 crap and you'll see the actual truth about cannabis. No one can keep a real sativa alive longer than 8 weeks when you start out like this, hopped up on milk dust. So grow out Diet Blue Glue Daydreamer Creamer Muffin Lite Brite and pick the one who tolerates its genetic destruction.
