If it smells a lot different or a lot stronger than the other plants then that is a good sign of a different terpene profile than the other plants. Remember in some plants the phenotype can consist of a recessive trait in either of the parents that make up the strain.
I tried to do a cobb cure once and failed, miserably. I saw a lot of work for little to no benefit. Back to smoking flower. Thats my favorite i guess.
Your cobb looks smokeable at least.
I would not say a different smell. Just stronger. A lot stronger.
There are three different strengths of smell in that tent. All from my CJ F4 seed pile. All have the same overall smell. Just three different strengths.
That fourth plant??? I actually dont know what it is. Im pretty sure by the growth pattern and bud formation, its not Chunky Junky.
I found that plant, last grow, under one of my CJ plants. So i dug it up and saved it. I was in very well used soil, so i am assuming it is something i have grown before. But not CJ. Completly different look and smell. It MIGHT be Blue Dream. Thats what she kinda looks like to me.
You have to remember also that Blue Tara has a parentage of Bubba Shine. Bubba Shine has a parent of Bubblegum which is known for different flavors in phenotypes.
When a trait is recessive it doesn’t “skip” generations like many people think, it is just recessive so a more dominant profile takes its place. But that recessive trait is still passed from parent to child and so on.
Yes. I figured that was whats going on. I was just thinking, the higher the fillial, the more stable the plant will get. Obviously not 100% but a higher percentage. And im probably wrong with that. I have been wrong before. I just cant remember when.
This was my thinking too… kind of… so its good to understand that recessive traits can rare their ugly heads later if the door is opened back up by breeding them
Ok, I’m gonna try getting out to the barn this morning. lol Wish me luck! Rose wants me to check on things and help take clones. I’ll try to grab a few pics also.
You are not wrong, it is a fact that once the dominant allele is declared the chance of that allele being passed increases in that phenotype in generations. But there is always a chance of a recessive trait being used even though the chance is reduced.
I think you get more consistentcy if you make selections on particular trait and breed like trait to like trait and cull those that do not fit the desired trait. Then they will still not be 100% true to form.
