Been a rough week, thought I had a flu bug and ended up being pneumonia. Agreed with the doc to take a script of some antibiotics as I wasn't getting any better. That shit's dangerous, went from normal to half dead in a few days, was downhill racing 10 days ago, couldn't make it up a set of stairs without losing my breath yesterday.
Fortunately the Blue Ripper F2 pheno-hunt babies have been cruising without much attention last few days. Started sexing them last night, confirmed 3 of 6 fems. Will have a look at the rest today in hopes of confirming at least another 3-4 fems from the original 13x. I'll up-pot the fems to 2gal's as they'll do better and will make it easier to manage watering through flowering.
Don't want to get too far ahead, a long way to go yet. But, so far I'm liking what I'm seeing, almost surprising as I expected a lot more variation and missed traits than what I'm finding. Essentially 3 phenos in the bunch, but mostly I'm seeing 2x main phenos and their traits are remarkably close to the 2x mother phenos the F2's came from. Even a unique 9-point leaft trait around the main top only has shown through. Below is an example of each pheno, one comes from the sat-dom mother (BR1), has lighter forest-green colouring, more sat-dom leaf traits, including the 9-point leaf trait of the mother, purple striping on mains and purple stems, fruit/blueberry, subtle lemon and underlying skunk/earthy tones. Second (BR2) main pheno is clearly more indica-dom, darker leaf colouring (blue's tone), same 9-point leaf trait, more pronounced smell of blueberry with stronger earthy/skunk underlying smell.
Sample BR1 pheno:
Sample BR2 pheno:
