Hi people,
I was wondering if i could run a little something by a couple of people that know CM and get some opinions
I cloned some babies (10) off a fast growing CM mother i hatched after sourcing a packet of CM beans (bloody hard where i live) and all has been fantastic...
10 days to gain roots (respectable)
75mm grodan cubes on grodan slabs, 1200mm x 600mm ebb table, 2 x 600 Sonti HPS (start to finish)
Canna Veg & Flores 800 to 900 PPM, Superthrive at double strength, Uturn at 2 weeks veg, 50 day flower period...
The clones were very sativa/indica hybrid looking leaning to a more sativa look which was intriguing watching them grow into massive collars up to 100mm in diameter...
Yeilded 22 ounces and just dam impressive all round... Note we ran a few pure Afghani's sided by side and the CM just made it look inferior in growth rate
After lending the mother to my friend for his use and to extend the safety of not losing it, it seems to have changed its characteristics...
Originally as mentioned before the mother and the clones had a very hybrid look leaning more to sativa but after being cared for by my friend the plant has almost shifted to a full indica look in his grow and no where near the rapid rate of growth i had...
The mother suffered a bit of stress with a mite infestation i had to kill for him and was reduced to a fluro for 6 months but here is where it gets odd...
After taking a new batch of clones no problem (10 day roots) the plant is behaving like a full indica and has no where near the rapid growth rate i had in my first batch...
He hasn't changed much to the above grow and rules i gave him to follow except...
His veg was done under a halide and he skimped on grodan cubes only using 100mm single cubes on his ebb table, 1000 ppm...
Is it possible that the mother has stunted or is it something he is doing that's making CM behave very different...?
Its got me very baffled...
If i revert everything back to how i did it will the new clones respond back to the original mothers characteristics or should i try to find the strain again and start from scratch...?
My feeling is the limited amount of rockwool and the halide has made a bit of difference but i am stumped at why the strain has slowed so much and almost looks pure indica now...
First pic mine, 5 weeks... Second pic his, 4 weeks... same mother... variables as mentioned above...
