Dinafem Blue Kush Auto

DAMN!
Nice job ace those are looking awesome!

one thing that intrigued me about this was that the parents are listed at og kush auto x blueberry auto, I thought autos usually just had one auto parent, so I'm shocked at how good they look!

I'm jealous yours is going to finish before mine haha you'll have to give a smoke report so I know what to expect.

No they are crossed over with other autos to further sustain and stabilise the auto gene along with other characteristics.

Few more shots, with an emphasis on frost! Getting close to chopping her down, think I'm gonna do it in stages, chop the most ready buds first and let the rest mature. Mouth is really watering to give her a smoke! :weed:

these look like photos out of that "who's got the fostiest buds?" thread. There's no way mine is gonna frost like that! amazing work man

Hahaha some of them are, I felt she was a worthy addition to that thread as well

I'm sure yours will! If anything the trichomes just look denser on mine because there's less plant for them to cover!

very nice man, gives me the munchies just looking at it, can't wait for mine now lol

Ace Yonder · Apr 10, 2015

Just a couple more pics!

Skinnah · Apr 11, 2015

I've noticed yours is a bit more sativa then mine and mine has less trichomes. Here she is from the other day.

Happy growing brothah man! Peace

Haha, naw man yours look great! Plus, not all of mine are pretty like the Blue Kush, check out this Auto Hobbit that I almost managed to FUBAR. The peat pellet I started her in had started growing some mold on the bottom so I hit it with some hydrogen peroxide and transplanted her, but I may have caught her roots in the collateral damage. She finally started growing again but now her leaves are WAY bizarre. I'll keep her around but I have a feeling she gonna stay a runt and yield next to nothing.

Just a little update on the hobbit. I had kinda counted her out, and kinda set her to the side, but I kept feeding her and letting her do her thing, and goddamn am I glad that I did! She isn't the prettiest plant in the world, nor the biggest, but damn if she don't look like she'll be fun to smoke! Seeing how well she's turned out considering all she's gone through, I am SO excited to grow out the other 4 beans that I have! If she had gotten even the minimal pampering the Blue Kush got, I think she'd be a real winner!

You must be chopping the blue kush soon, right?!?!

Yup yup! Actually had to harvest one branch early because I dropped my magnifying glass on it and it snapped haha, as soon as it's dry I'm gonna fire it up and I'll judge the rest of the plant's doneness by that.

Hey man! I've really enjoyed following this grow so far, great job!

I'm growing the same strain in a really small 1 liter air-pot over on another forum. Just thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in checking it out.

Anxiously waiting to hear about your harvest and smoke review! :clap:

Ace Yonder · Apr 18, 2015

Took down a couple branches. Only a few days now til first taste :weed:

Beautiful looking buds. I have two Dinafem Blue Kush (photo) seedlings. One of them appears to be a Blueberry phenotype as leaves have a purple rim and the stem is purple. This morning I noticed some of the new growth is reddish. Here's to purple buds!

Ace Yonder · Apr 28, 2015

Took down the main stem today, all that's left are the lowest branches that I pollinated with my frosty purple outdoor male, gonna let those go for a while to fully mature the seeds (Just started seeing tiger stripes on some of the biggest ones that are bulging from the calyxes). Super excited to see what the seeds turn into, hopefully I'm on my way towards a good outdoor-over-winter strain, with just enough auto genes to keep it from re-vegging when the days start getting longer.

borbor · Apr 29, 2015

nice! mine is coming down soon. the top few nugs look like that.

I have to concur, they look pretty damn nice for autos.

As far as auto parentage goes, the autoflowering gene is a single recessive allele as far as all research I've done is concerned. It is recessive and requires both parents to be autoflowering for the offspring to be guaranteed autoflowering.

I'm curious to see how the smoke report goes. I've grown a reasonable amount of autos out and I wasn't left very impressed. But I haven't written them off at all. Eventually they will be comparable.

The nice thing about recessive traits is that in a way they are actually much easier to breed for, because when you have a plant that expresses it you know it will pass it down, and when you have two plants that express it you know for sure that their offspring will express it as well, whereas with dominant traits you never know if it carries two dominant alleles or one dominant one recessive, so there's always a chance the offspring of two of them will express a hidden recessive trait.

So true. And actually, just thinking about it... it could be codominant as well. Either way, you need to have both sides of the genome expressing the gene in question to get the autoflowering desired.
