When I topped my chucks about 10 - 12 days ago I kept the largest top in a spray bottle on a table with no dome and gave it a mist 3 or 4 times a day. Changed the water twice one time giving it a very light dose of seaweed extract and epsom. It sits at an angle from the light on a table 5' away from a 600w hps. Wasn't sure if it would root.
I was surprised to see roots today.

It's smokes like air..
Goofy grape

I feel I need to dial in how to post here. I spend a lot of time with new growers and my posts are often geared toward them while I know most of the posters on this thread are experienced.
Hey @genuity hope this post is the right type of post for this thread.
If you feel I should adjust my style of posting just let me know, posting in seed and strain is new to me so I'm not sure when something is off topic and should be posted in other sections.
*************************************************************************
If two plants were identical in every way except one had an unusual amount of large lateral roots going up the trunk and you had to choose one to clone or breed.
Which one would a chucker choose?
I've never seen it mentioned as a good or bad trait and was wondering if it is taken into consideration when breeding.
1st picture shows a normal trunk and the other one is in the background.
2nd and 3rd pic show the trunk with the lateral roots.
Has me a little concerned that it's scale but I'm pretty sure it's not scale.

I'm back to revisit our conversation on statistical variation...(anyone else feel free to jump in)
Having, taken Statistics in university a long time ago...I dont believe that the outcome I am witnessing is statistically random...point blank, something I have done has influenced the distribution of males to females in my breeding. Out of 31 plants...only 4 have shown themselves as male with 3 more left to show sex...I have seriously tough time believing thats random...it cant be!!!
I stand by my speculation...
By using just the Vegetation switch...(blue Spectrum) light throughout the vegetation phase...The frequency of females to males increased dramatically...
couple of important notes to add:
- since I was making seeds I habe neen running 12-12 from seed.
- I did not flip on the Red (Bloom Switch) till plants started throwing pistils.

Starting clones in water is easy but it can take a while.
I started this gorilla wreck cutting about a month ago.
It's in the kitchen where there isn't much light & temps average ~65 F

I still think its great that we made this same cross by chance. They look excellent.

Work, testing out a few crosses and some goji f2s. Was getting crowded so I lost a few females I wouldn’t have minded running. Never easy killing viable plants but I gotta stay focused and not overextended myself. 2 really nice goji f2 males I’ll flower in another room. Happy I got 6 nice goji females for f3s.
Females left:
6- goji f2
4- sour lime og x mimosa
3- gmo x blue bonnet
2- strawberry cough x mimosa
1- archive sluricaine
I’ll probably dust all the lowers of the gojis and smoke the rest. Unless anyone really wants to see goji f2 x to any of these, I’ll save my chucking for the f3 selections

I have performed thought experiments on what you are saying, I’m sure you can influence male ratio in breeding, I’m more referring to influences in germination and grow techniques won’t influence the gender of that individual. As far as definitively affecting ratios by light spectrum, you may be on to something but definitive results needs study. Good luck with that! Would be ground breaking and industry changing!

Many led growers who have been using them for years have vegged under all blue or mostly blue lighting many times in the past, myself included. Nothing other than average or the same as white light for male/female ratio.
Just now had Atonic x Apollo f4 from Bad Dog go 6/6 female here under all white LEDs in veg and flower.

I kind of feel like if this was a thing a Dutch seed bank would have found it out by now. I know that statistically speaking you can have outlier batches and cannot reproduce these effects at will, then coincidence owns the day.

Studies found that in the American alligator's eggs, incubation at 34 ºC (93.2 ºF) and above produces mostly males, while incubation at or lower 30 ºC (86ºF) produces mostly females. This means if the nest is laid on a riverbank on the sunlight, the offspring will mostly be males.Sep 25, 2019
This is how I treat all my seeds..
I only pop about 30 seeds each time & get close to 93% females from the seeds
(Some get killed)
I did veg a batch of seed under some t5 HO uv bulbs,damn near all the seeds was male.
