Mutant Pheno Hunt

Here we go on another run together and trust me, this will definitely be something different and very interesting as I've been invited to be a 'Test Grower' for Terpyz Genetics. Formerly Terpyz x Kalyseeds who, for those 'in the know', are known for their breeding of cannabis mutations and the results they've gotten. Terpyz has asked me to perform a pheno hunt on two of their new MUTANT strains; DW IBL x (Pablo Picasso | Lemon Alien NL) x Blue Booby and Z.U.P. SWAG V4 Big Purple and I'll tell you... I'm SUPER stoked to get these seeds germinated and begin to increase my knowledge of growing these mutant strains! So how this hunt is going to work is this: Germinate 10 seeds(regulars) of each strain, grow out the plants and establish which are Male/Female, remove ALL males and continue to grow and photograph the females picking out the female of each strain which best represents the traits that the breeder is seeking... sound like fun doesn't it! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE STRAINS: ~ Duckweb IBL X Alien Picasso F1) X Blue Booby F1 ~ ~ Z.U.P SWAG is (SWAG variegated Ultra V4 (Kalyseeds) x Opalo NL TerpyZ Select F2) ~ Description: [Duckweb IBL X Alien Picasso F1) X Blue Booby F1] This line brings together some of our favorite Duckfoot lines. The mother plant of this cross: Duckweb IBL x Alien Picasso F1 had intoxicating Caramel Candy terps with Pine and Fuel undertones. Duckweb IBL from Olympic Seeds pure Indica originating in Afghanistan. It is an inbred webbed landrace with beautiful magenta/pink pistils, good potency and outstanding stability. It has an extremely Uplifting and Happy, Social high associated with Sativa. Alien Picasso F1 is a cross that we made of a super gassy OG Kush-leaning Pablo Picasso and Lemon Alien, both of which are genetics derived from Kalyseeds. Alien Picasso F1 (Pablo Picasso x Lemon Alien) Blue Booby F1 (Puffin F3 X Moon Duck F4) is a Poly-hybrid webbed leaf by Fygtree. Puffin (Super Silver Haze x Tropica Race (Purple Haze X Indian Summer Kaly Duck)) Moon Duck (Ducksfoot IBL x Vanilluna) Description: [ Z.U.P SWAG is (SWAG variegated Ultra V4 (Kalyseeds) x Opalo NL TerpyZ Select F2) ] There's not a lot of information on this strain yet because it's so new but what I've been able to gather so far is, that one phenotype of Z.U.P Swag was a tall plant with a Christmas tree structure had purple flowers, and leaves with prominent purple coloration. It also had good flower structure, and excellent vigor. The only other data I could gather is that the male used was from a Opalo population which was selected in the 2nd generation, with dense flower structure and great terpenes! I'm sure this grow will add to the available knowledge of this strain! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WEEKLY UPDATE: 3/16- Here we are at the start of Week 6 of veg and I have the light cycle at 15 hours on now so we should be seeing some plants showing their sex hopefully this week! After letting all of the plants dry out for a couple of days, I watered all today with .25g of well water to which was added, 5ml/g Earth Juice OilyCann and DutchPro Silica Von Liebig - Special and then was ph'd to 6.5 @ 74℉. 3/18- Today the plants are all drying out so I'll skip watering. All the plants color and vigor remain excellent so I'll hold off a bit before top-dressing them. I'm now looking them all over closely daily, checking to see if any are expressing sex yet. So far, I don't see any 'nuts' growing anywhere, but as we all know that can change overnight! I'll continue to keep a close eye on them and will be culling any males as soon as they appear! 3/20- Yesterday four males reared their ugly heads and were culled... Three of the Z.U.P. SWAG's #'s 1, 4 & 6 and the #5 DW IBL. Hopefully there won't be anymore showing up, but I will be keeping a vigilant eye out for them! I did not water today to let the plants dry out. Letting them dry out between watering ensures that oxygen will be pulled down to the roots when they're watered eliminating any chances of rot. 3/22- Today I decided to finally water all the plants as they were getting lite to lift. I watered each with .25g of well water that had 5ml/g of Earth Juice OilyCann added along with 1. 8ml/g of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig-Special that was then ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉. The #2 SWAG that was topped is growing like crazy, is the biggest of the group and is showing sex now with a few pistils now showing! The rest of the group all are doing fantastic and I'm keeping a vigilant eye out for any signs of males until all are confirmed female. Now that all the plants are well established and in a growth spurt, the next few weeks ought to be getting more exciting! Hope to see you for Week 7 of veg, and thank you for checking me out! 😎❤️ Thank you very much for following along and for all the positive comments and ❤️! May ALL your days and grows be Blessed! 🙏❤️
