Hello all! I just wanted start a quick discussion about plant genetics. I have a few be bud depot "bc kush" seedlings about to really take off but they already seem to be expressing different phenotypes. I know that there are 3 main phenos expressed by bc kush but I was just curious if anyone really noticed at what stage of life phenotypes start to express. Also this is my first run at this strain so any info would be great!
You'll be able to observe genetic traits or genes throughout the whole life cycle. Fast germination? Big tap root? Bush or not? You'll notice major differences between the phenos during veg, and especially during the beginning of flower but from the trained eye you usually can tell the gems right from the get go.

Looks pretty good. I've seen far worse mutants around so consider yourself lucky lol Usually they tend to be the best smoke Sent from my Spaceship using the Grasscity App. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1348058-DaS-Perpetual-Stealth-Cabs-Grow-Chronicles
My main reason for starting this thread... I've never had 4 different seeds of the same strain pop so differently. These are all BC Kush by bc bud depot
It really depends on the breeders practices. Most breeders don't care to get the uniform results in mist aspects except one or two according to that strain (colour, smell, or structure for example) This gets more obvious when dealing with a line such as Northern Lights by a breeder such as MikeJ... Mostly every single seed would look identical. Once you get into the hybrids and especially polyhybrids all bets are off for stability until you work the line for stability in whatever gene expression you're after Hope that makes sense.

Hahaha no it totally does I'm on west coast time as well haha just had my first bowl and cup of coffee. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
That would make sense, and that's kind of what I thought, the more it's been crossed and hybridized the less stability in the later gens. Northern has lots of landrace Afghan genetics correct? So after stabilizing the cross, the later generations would be more stable. I guess my own current grow is a good example of that because the top looks to be expressing pure sativa while the bottom looks to be a full Indica, I guess objectively the mutant and the other look the most uniform.

So let's say hypothetically I wanted to stabilize the line myself, would that mean finding the 2 with the most uniform structure and inbreeding them? Sent from my 2PQ93 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
