Welllll.....subrob said the hype outpaced the actual cut. And I stand by it. As far as I remember this was the first cut(s) to create an army of enthusiasts TOTALLY dedicated to the idea that a cut was the greatest of all time before they had seen, smelled, smoked, or grown it
Was awesome watching the "gluefam" follow that blueprint to a T and create another horde of kids thinking they had uncovered unfathomable greatness.
And yes, I think animal was the best of the original cuts, but since I had raskals cut of og, there was no need to grow animal.


How is raskels og comparable bro?

Waddup Rick...happy to see you back!
No company here. I'm playing the part of the grouchy old man. Been hoping for decriminalisation for almost 40 years, and I'm sick to my fukn stomach watching it happen. Here in Cali is about the worst, but the stink of federal is gonna be my breaking point. #fucklegalweed #fuckyourpermission
Raskals cut was badass. Def in my personal top.........3...

I'm chilling bro,, just trying to get some foots in the door for me an the boys

Grouchy old men have the grouchy old clones and seeds sub,, sometimes "the grouchyer the better" you know this bro,, your fukin trash can has better weed in it than 99.99 dispensarys,, them kids gota learn about the grouch on seseme Street too,, not just big bird

A lot of old icmag members feel the same,, big game has ruined it,,,but I'm just getting started and I refuse to take it lying down,, I'm the puzzle guy,, I'm obsessive,, i think I can do something

Neche markets are our edge

I think the glue fam actually did a different job to cookie fam,,, they are old fourm boys,, automatically got cred,,, we should use icmag as they use Instagram,, we are still stronger and wiser,, the glue fam are better because they "are" essentially a true fourm collective

Josey as the head solidified it,, better than jigga in many ways

Fukin samurai,,

training room, to work as one, yealds more than training one to work as room,,

Auxin prevents lateral buds from developing,,,

Fuuuuuuuk yoooooou auxin,, i chop ya fukin head off and inhibit yo fukin ass,,, i create feedback loop,, go back to the future on yo ass

Without careful pruning, a rose bush would grow into a single stem with leaves. This is why gardeners invest in a good pair of clippers—cutting the leading shoot helps activate axillary buds which typically form at the base of each leaf near the stem and give rise to new shoots.

Yet, axillary buds sometimes remain dormant despite pruning, and many plant species activate branching without a snip from the gardener. As to how a plant regulates this unpredictable branch growth, there are two competing theories that point to strigolactone, a recently discovered plant hormone. One theory suggests strigolactone primarily acts to regulate gene expression in axillary buds. New findings published this week in PLOS Biology support an alternative theory, which suggests strigolactone regulates bud growth by modulating the cellular flow of auxin, a plant growth hormone that influences development.

The findings explain how plants coordinate growth and development. According to a debated theory proposed by Ottoline Leyser and her colleagues at the University of Cambridge, the auxin transport network helps distribute branch growth across the plant in response to changing environmental conditions and resource availability.

This auxin transport canalization model suggests that cells in the axillary bud serve as a source of auxin while the stem and roots provide a sink. As auxin flows across the cell membrane, more exporter proteins are inserted into the plasma membrane. This increases the flow of auxin out of the cell, and leads to the insertion of even more exporter proteins. As this stream of auxin flows to the stem and roots, the axillary buds can potentially produce even more hormone.

Leyser believes this positive feedback loop triggers buds to grow into new shoots. After an axillary bud is activated, other buds must compete for access to sinks in the stem. The first few shoots dominate the local flow of auxin, making it harder for neighboring buds to establish the positive feedback of auxin export needed for activity. As a result, an axillary bud might not be able to activate after shoots start to grow elsewhere on the stem.

In previous work, Leyser and her colleagues showed that strigolactone reduces cellular levels of PIN1, a protein that exports auxin out of plant cells. As PIN1 accumulation requires a gene expressed in vascular associated cells, it's possible that strigolactone systemically inhibits canalization throughout the plant. But this theory conflicts with other research showing that strigolactone upregulates a transcription factor that inhibits bud growth, suggesting that strigolactone acts locally within the bud.

To test these alternative hypotheses, Leyser and her team grew mutant Arabidopsis plants incapable of synthesizing strigolactone or responding to its signal. By genetically modifying plants to produce fluorescently labeled PIN1 proteins, the researchers could track this auxin exporter in plant tissue. In keeping with prior findings, these strigolactone mutants grew more shoots and accumulated more PIN1. Similarly, treating mutants with synthetic strigolactone (GR24) reduced branching.

Yet, the story is a little more complex—it turns out strigolactone can both activate and repress shoot branching. Mutants weakly capable of transporting auxin showed elevated branching after a low dose of strigalactone, yet after a high dose, branching was reduced. In double mutants that lacked the ability to produce strigolactone and also suffered weak auxin transport, low doses of strigalactone reduced branching while high doses restored branching to levels of untreated plants. If strigalactone acts as a direct inhibitor of bud growth, these findings would be difficult to explain. It appears strigalactone can either promote or inhibit bud growth depending on the auxin transport status of the treated plant, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Leyser and her team further investigated the hormone's systemic function with a computational model, which suggested that branching can occur in one of two ways. First, if PIN1 proteins remain in the membrane after insertion, auxin transport can be rapidly established and new buds activate. In contrast, if the rate of PIN1 insertion is low, relatively less auxin flows out of the cell. This reduces competition for auxin transport down the stem, and an active bud is less likely to inhibit its neighbors. If strigolactone acts to promote removal of PIN1 proteins from the membrane, then the modeling results and experimental data together explain how strigolactone can either activate or repress shoot branching depending on the auxin transport status of the plants.

It's a new way of thinking about shoot growth, and it's not without controversy. Auxin canalization theory is contentious for at least two reasons—it assumes that auxin flux triggers PIN1 insertion and proposes that buds must export auxin in order to activate. It's not clear how a plant cell membrane can measure this flux.

While Leyser's findings don't resolve this question, they demonstrate a systemic role for strigalactone that supports the contentious auxin canalization model. The cellular flux of auxin may be influenced by the availability of sinks in the stem, and strigalactone may help regulate the abundance of PIN1 proteins needed to facilitate the flow of hormone in both locations. The picture that emerges is of the plant as a self-organizing system that balances its growth according to its environment. And as a result, a bush can grow from a stem.

easy rick... is this jigga cut the same as the thin mint pheno thats doing the rounds or is it a different jigga cut?

i have the thin mint pheno jigga cut im just in week 5 flowering her.. very frosty can smell the resmeblence in my gelato#45 cut... not sure how long she goes but she buds fast and are a decent size..

You got the after pics , rick?

Fucking hell Rick, talk about taking abit off the top. Remind me not to ask you for a haircut anytime soon lol

Hehe, that's what I thought.
But , I've seen some guys do it and pull crazy weight.
They feed a specific diet
Asto replace the leaves. More
Micros most likely.
Might give it a try..

The after pics are up already,, I'm not exactly interested in conversation with mate daves pals though

I think it might be the same thin mint clone,, i believe it came through hemoror,, from a good few years back

How long do you run yours pal this my 1st time flowering her and i just threw her in to make the numbers up..

she looks like a quick strain mines only just starting week 5 and im having to support her cause of her piss poor frame loves her feed though...ive just finished a manny cut purple stardawg that had 12 yo-yos on 1 plant... it can get expensive... haha

I use bamboo too,, i grow in troughs atm and I create a garden wire frame for it to lean on,,,

I'm in week 5 now and it's getting floppy,,, im going in hard with pk,,, week 3 to 5 was a npk of 0-10-40,,,now I'm on 0-9-18 and I'm going to bring the ec down soon see if I can get it to break out and really bulk up in the last few weeks,,, it's a really low growing smell,, a dream compared to cheese
