Finally found the main bud I dusted and the seeds that came out are decidedly different.
The bigger seeds look to be the same size as the Afghani parent’s while the smaller ones are sized more towards the GDP. Is that normal? Does that mean the bigger seeds have a better chance of retaining the Afghani’s traits? And likewise with the smaller seeds? Does anyone know?
Ill be interested in the answer to that
Almost a 3:1 ratio…
Sounds like a “AA, Aa, aA, aa” scenario, so that would make the big seeds the double recessive?

Well, I did it and upgraded my lights:
Trying to end this GDP run. It just makes me veg and sleepy which is the opposite of what I am after. Hopefully, the Afghani I have in the closet are females. They have really perked up since I placed them under the TS1000s. Never realized how underlit they were using that 10w flood lamp.
Can’t wait to get those GDPxAfg beans in the rotation. If anything, I have more seeds to play around with. Cheers.
Some bud shots:
Starting week 4. This plant seems to have frosted earlier than under the 2 TS1000s. Main cola is ~12" with the center and sides at ~17". Impressed so far.
The clone in the back does not have the same frostiness, more like a sprinkling. I wonder if this is due to the pheno or if there is underlying issue with my soil. This is the second run for this pot. Any thoughts?
Sometimes the pheno expresses differently.
Were the clones taken off similar locations of the mother?
Same soil in similar pots?
Cheers

The clone (on the right) was taken from my first plant and the one on the left is from seed. It was flipped earlier than I normally would. I was thinking my environment helped as well. I’ve managed to keep temps around the 80s mark with RH @ 50% lights on and lights off temps go down to the low 60s and RH of 50%. It went down to 60 one night so don’t know how much that would affect it but so far it’s just chugging along. One thing I noticed with this light is it runs cool in the tent with both drivers out on top. But with the 1000s, the reflector gets uncomfortably warm. Really odd!
Or am I thinking of genotype. I get so confused.
There’s a whole lexicon of new names & definitions creeping in from academia. 
Anything that makes us better growers is good! 
The way I think of it is the genotype is the hardwired DNA code & phenotype is how that code expresses based on influences of the growing environment.
Your TS 1000 is also using the reflector as a heatsink for the quantum board and the driver. Driver losses are about 5% and the board is probably about 50% so maybe 75 watts of heat to dissipate.

I didn’t know that about the lights. Thanks. I’m trying to stay away from the geek side of things.
