    Trusted DNA test??

    So it was mentioned to me in a comment the other day that i should get a DNA test done on my plant to find out it lineage...since i dont know what the strain is. My plants super beautiful and if i could know where she comes from, then maybe i could grow her again one day. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Until then youncould always reveg her afterwards and take some clones and choose the best for a mother sdc just my 2 cents. Shes a beaut alright!

      Yeah, sorry to say that’s not how it works. Since the seed was bag seed, then I’m guessing pollination was accidental. So you can clone it, but you will never find an exact replica seed. You might be able to replicate the genetics, but some of her traits will always be different. It’s like those clone only strains, GG#4 & Thin mint GSC are good examples of this. Breeders can replicate the strain, but the particular phenotype can not be replicated.

        Well i say bag seed because idk exactly where it came from. But it could have come from an original strain. So thats why i want to test the DNA to see just what it is and where it came from.

        Yes. You can do that. The phylum test kit costs $300 I believe.

      Here is the info. Is directed to industries but down in the instructions there’s a link to the kit. Basically you take a small branch. Clean it with alcohol and mail it

        Hmmm. So you pay $300, and if your strain is not listed in their “Phylo galaxy” you get to create one (guessing). Looks like they can tell you closest lineage (wondering if that is also limited to their “phylo galaxy” strains). Even at that, closest linage might not be actual linage. I’m a bit skeptical about what I have read so far.
        This might be ok for businesses trying to create their own unique strain, but doesn’t seem like a 100% accurate way to find out what the genetics are from a single seed. You could get lucky and have a strain that is already in their data base, but is that worth $300 to find that out?

        Cool looking website!
        Looks like they have a fair amount of genetic relationships mapped out, to.

        Other than cloning, what would be the issue if this plant was made to seed its self, maybe just 1 branch. Get a few feminized seed and grow those, then do it again,,,

          Just making seeds like that will give a large amount of genetic variations. So if you got 10 seeds, they could all potentially be very genetically different from eachother.

          Very true, as in anything you breed, many of my family have done DNA genetic testing, the results are amazing, my grandmother was full blood indian, my sister shows zero,,,
          But doing the seed is fun, at least for me!

          Yes. Agreed. And what a great way to check a seed breeders reputation.

        She's a beauty, but I don't know of it would be worth $300.00. (is that the plant you were considering culling because you thought it might be a male? ) Making some seeds would be better than nuttin for a fraction of the cost. https://www.growweedeasy.com/how-to-...eminized-seeds An intoxicating alien beauty!

          Definitely reveg it after you harvest her. It's really easy to do. And just make clones. This was stated above but that's your best bet. You can also make clones during flowering but it takes longer.

            Ok you have me stumped on that reply. Especially since it takes alot less time from beginning to end for more bud. So please explain. Because I just dont get it.

            Because you lose a month of so of growth on a reveg. Almost better to start over. Especially when dealing with clones. Now if you have a monster tree...yeah Redwasp you are correct. Just depends on size of growth. The plant mentioned in this discussion is def debatable about the reveg subject. The real question is, 1 months worth of electricity loss worth potentially saving this strain? We don’t know how this plant will respond to reveg after harvest. I know the Papya from Nirvana didn’t really like it when I did it.

          Well, I'd say if it makes ya happy, go ahead and re- vedge, try to grow some seeds, maybe try crossing it with something else if you want, get ten diff phenos. Who knows, might really fall in love with one of them, to. Part of growing cannabis for fun, is HAVING fun! Might fail, and cost ya some extra power, but as long as your getting the bud ya need, and having a good time, go for it!
          Kinda like having a huge family, with grand kids and great grand kids, only much cheaper, and in this case, chopping off there tender buds!!
