Hello there! Here are my less than happy looking plants. I found another couple of thrips on these and had to spray them. I’m guessing that I didn’t shake the mix up enough at first because that one has some spots on the leaves where the drops were at.
Here is a group shot.
I know right? I saw that and at first thought it was a bug hanging there. I sure didn’t expect to see male parts in the middle of a stem!
Have you seen that before @JohnnyPotseed ? I see you’re on. lol
Not very often cuz. But it does seem to happen, especially with all the hybrids nowadays.
The crosses aren’t stabilized before folks just send seeds out, willy nilly. I guess even I’ve been guilty of this a time or two, lol
People just get excited to share a new cross. Nothing wrong in that, lol. But what you see there is one of the results. Hell, even so called ‘stable’ crosses can have that happen. Never seen or heard of it on Frankenstein though, lol.
But rarely do folks put years into stabilizing any crosses. Especially the commercial breeders.
If you just pluck the occasional pod, you should be ok. Just keep a sharp eye out.
Unless it gets too bushy to keep track of things. I’d remove half the sun leaves, to help in seeing better.
If I had a good eye I would probably do that but I do not have good eyes. I missed those thrips until they dang near killed three of my plants.
I think I’ll let this one go to the great compost pile in the sky by way of my goats bellies.
It has been hypothesized that cannabis was not always a dioicous plant. That hermaphroditism was the key factor that tipped the scale to make the genus dioicous. Makes perfect sense of you think about it.
I gotta get some pics in here later. My LPC in the octopup looks like it’s fighting a disease and the one in soil is thriving. Planted very close together under the same light and everything and the difference is crazy.
Yes, pictures are in order. I wish I had dropped a few pictures of the plants that had those thrips sooner than I did. They lived but are a lot less than they could have been. I’m still going to have some medicine out of them so it’s not a total loss.

Everyones plants looking good!
On the left the octopup has thicker stems and has been topped but is lacking something. On the right has not been topped, has respectable growth, but is a much healthier color. The difference in medium is that the octopup is much higher in Promix whereas the soil only is much higher in Happy Frog (both have both just in different ratios).
