Trippaul Threat (PdN x BMJ) Community Grow

This is a dedicated grow log for Tristen's awesome cross, which I
have been growing out since 2014.  I'll start with a bit of history and
some photos documenting what's happened so far.
 
In January of 2014, Tristen (Trippa) sent me a little care package of seeds.
In the package were two generations of a cross he had made, which he just 
called 'Mystery Cross, F1' and 'Mystery Cross, F2'.  
 
Here's Trippa's Mystery Cross seedlings in February of 2014:

 

 
Both generations showing the purple foliage characteristic since the beginning.
 
Up close look at Trippa's Mystery Crosses, F1 and F2.  Both culled to a single
plant after the photo taken, so I only had one plant of each generation:

For clarification, on your seed packs, I'f Im sprouting a seed labeled F7, is the plant that will result also F7 and you've already accounted for it via the labeling, or am I effectively growing the F8 once sprouted?

Before one can be three, be two, before be five be four.....uh, right? 
 
Without going back through the thread, Paul sent me F7 seeds as well, and as I understood, they came from F6 pods.....

I have seeds I saved out of a bulbous pod I will probably sprout too. It was the only pod that looked like that so it will probably produce regular shaped pods though? Idk.

I would imagine so. I have noticed that seed from large pods
produces a greater percentage of large pods in successive
generations, if you keep selecting the large pods. The sam
e might be true with the globe-shaped pods. Perhaps there
will be more each generation.  My seed from my globe-shaped
pod didn't pop.

The seeds I sent out this year are F7, i.e. will grow the
seventh generation of plants.  The seed produced by
these plants/pods will produce the eighth generation
in 2020. I hope I'm saying it right.

Bhuter kindly sent me some isolated seed from
his F6 grow last season, so I planted 2 or 3
of the white version in rockwool cubes two weeks
ago, and noticed the root hooks today:

Two for two in the hole! Nice work, Adam. Thanks mucho!

 

[CaneDog]

More hooks than an old tackle box over there Paul!  It's a fun time when just about every time you check in on them there's something new.

According to Wikipedia, the first plants grown from hybrid seeds are F1. I think maybe it's referring to seeds as Fx that's causing the confusion, as the F designation applies to the plants... so if the seeds that went out were from pods on sixth-generation plants, then those seeds will grow into seventh-generation plants.

 

[PaulG]

Thanks, yep. Seeds have been dropped in sponges for this years grow. They haven’t looped yet, so fingers crossed [emoji1696].

Last year they were gorgeous!
Those are beautiful pods, close to 3 inches/7-8 cm?
You will be showing us how it's done, Heefy!
Thanks for the add. Good luck all.

Glad you are along for the ride. Good luck in the UK!

i think it's worth a try, it was a beauty!  One day, I'll
try mine again. It was a bust first time around. It would
be cool if succeeding generation produced more and
more of the desired bulbous shape!

You have a way with words, 'Dog  
 
And not et up with the dumbass, either

Latest F7 news from PNW...

F7W Bhuter, 2/2 germination:

Awesome work, Adam, 100% germination!

F7 violet double pod:

Hope to see more reporting as seeds have
had time to germinate!

 

[PaulG]

Third hook has come up for the F7 violet
(seed from a nice double pod):

 

[MarcV]

Got 2 hooks for the F6 (or is it F7?) violet! No F6 white yet though...

 

[Walchit]

I saw some action in mine too. On the bulbous ones and the f7 white. I have some F5 white going but didn't see any signs of life yet. Its only been a couple days though.

 

[MarcV]

Mine took 8 days to show the hooks

 

[Walchit]

Mine are on paper towels, just the tiniest bit of radicle showing. Will post pics soon Paul

Yay for the F7 White! At least one viable seed in your bunch, Andy 
Will be fun too see what happens to the bulbous purple one!

Some of mine took over two weeks

Can't wait to see those, Andy

The seedlings will be the seventh generation plants, F7.
Still pullin' for you on the white variety. They seem to
be stubborn. Something I did I, guess.
 
I'll post a pic of the F7 I have going later.
 
Kudos to all who have coaxed forth seedlings so far!
 

 

[MarcV]

Two more purple have sprouted bringing the total to 4 (out of 9 sown) . Still no white ones...

seems the white ones are the stubborn ones i can’t get them to sprout either.

 

[SpeakPolish]

Ironic, I can get no violet ones.

 

[PaulG]

Crikey! I'm so disappointed in the white seeds  
I'm hoping the viable white seeds are spread out
enough so everybody gets one 
 
The only explanation I can think of is that I did 
something bad to them in the drying process.  
Odd, though, both white and violet went through
the same things.
 
I'll be uber careful in 2019

 

[SpeakPolish]

The whites in my AeroGarden are doing too fine. 4 sprouts out of 5 seeds, though I thinned the week ones. Going to sprout a couple again on March.

 

[DontPanic]

I'm doing a side-by-side comparison of 4 of Paul's white seeds alongside 4 seeds I saved from the plant I grew this year.
 
It's a small sample size, and I didn't isolate, so there's always a chance mine are crossed.
 
It'll still be interesting to me to see how they do.
