The weird accident…
Started 2 White Widow and 2 Purple Punch
Had one PP die at first set of leaves, other three did their thing.
At week 4 ish of flowering, the other PP started growing taller. Because of my dumb 8-5 job I’ve been bad at watching for signs and the PP Hermed on me… but I didn’t catch it in time and I saw white and off white powder all over the leaves below pollen sacks that burst in the tent. I pulled the jerk out and was left with just the two WW’s. Hoping it would be a bad genetic match, nope. The Hermed PP pollinated the WW, just one though. I have only found one seed in a top bud of the WW.
Did I just accidentally get a WW/PP seed, will it grow? How do I make sure the seed/s are good or keep them good, or make sure the plant makes good seeds??? I have so many questions now.
Forgot to add to the post.
Watering was every other day ph-6-6.5 during veg with nutes
Current:
Watering during bloom has been every 2-3 days ph-6-6.5 with nutes, past 2 weeks have been just water ph-6.5-7
Temp 74
Humidity 48-56 norther state in the winter (new challenge, or PIA)
The only thing that I can add is that it is likely that all of the plants were pollinated.
You might just as well grow them to completion because the damage is done.
You can either clean the seeds out and smoke/vape it any way or make edibles.
It is unfortunate but not a complete loss.
They are taking longer for the trichomes to get opaque and amber, at 12 weeks flower tomorrow, but I still have 30-40% clear trichomes. I like to harvest at 20% amber, so I can tell energy is not going to the flowering as much. Some of the top buds are getting some amber ones on the sugar leaves at least. I guess I’ll just have to smoke it all and see if it’s any good.
So the seeds from my accident are about three weeks into flowering. The leaves are a little longer and thinner than the white widow strain and have a grape bubblegum smell. Grew taller and faster than the white widow. Larger space between the nodes. No ‘nanners yet!! I did a poor job in timing the flip and trimming. Please excuse me for that.
Left to right: close up photos are of the unknown strain.
Unknown strain from the seeds that came from the accident. (Purple punch hermie pollinating the ILGM white widow)
ILGM white widow
ILGM Jack Herer (first attempt with this strain) @Hellraiser@Mefis@AfgVet@merlin44@dbrn32
Into curing. Harvested 11/15, slow dry, jarred 12/3. Tastes a little sweet and fruity, then a dank herbal, and finishes a little floral. Referring to it as white punch in the photos.
