I'm sure most people who've done a lot of growing from seed are familiar with "twinning," where a single seed pops two spouts instead of one. I'm doing a grow right now with Albino Rhino seeds, and this time I had two of the seeds "twin" on me. Planted 50 seeds, and got 52 sprouts. Germination rate of 104%, BC Bud Depot needs to use that on their website.
Anyway, I grew both sets of twins out through veg. In each set of two plants, I got one female and one male. Both of the females are budding out rather nicely, although one is a hermie. I nipped her pollen sacs as soon as I spotted 'em, and am watching her closely every day. She's not the biggest budder in the tent, but I'm expecting an ounce and a half or so if she keeps filling out, and she's frostier than fuck coming up on the end of Week 6. She's strongly indica dominant; the other female is very sativa. That one, also, is very frosty, with a top bud about 15 inches long at the moment and starting to bulk out rather nicely.
Now, here's the thing... with each of these two females, when I chopped their male twin, I left part of the stem in the coco. Both of them are trying to sprout a couple of pollen sacs at the moment. I'm kind of curious what would happen if I tried to cross the males back with their female twins. The indica that went hermie, I'm not that interested in, because I wouldn't trust the genetics. But the heavy-budding sativa... if I crossed her back with her twin, do you guys think I might get a pheno that has a genetic tendency to sprout twins? Because that might be an interesting strain of seeds to have.
Anyone have any thoughts on that? Anyone ever crossbreed twins before?
Edit: Bonus rep points for whoever comes up with the most original "Kentucky" joke.
