New Grower Contest: 32oz. Grow Competition

High!
Would that mutant look like that "duck foot"?
Peace!

I'm realy not sure about "duckFoot" genetics.........but I am seeing a lot of this mutation in these beans?

 

[Groff]

Sorry to inform, I'm out of the contest. The bean failed on me and I wont be poppin' another.... got mischievous plans around the corner ... :twist:

That sucks Groffuwiwi, happens from time to time for me too, and it's always a heartbreaker. Have one on meL4

As for my own 32's. Early signs would indicate I have 2 ladies and 1 cowboy. The male is an Ambient Fruit and the ladies are 1 each: Ambient Fruit and Morpheus Laughing. The ML is getting big already and I'm worried she'll overgrow her cup eventually. All 3 look happy and healthy, pics tomorrow at the 3 week mark.

Cheers, L4

All started with this

Man, that is bringing lot of crazy memories but before here is what it is:


Credit to the sadly gone OVERGROW, but libraries still around!

From the breeder: Wally Duck
Ducksfoot is named for its unique leaves, which have webbing between the leaflets, evoking the feet of waterfowl, rather than the finger like morphology of the leaves that has become one of the most recognizable icons to identify pot.
In Australia, Ducksfoot is an outodoor variety only. This strain seems more at home in warmer climates that don’t suffer frosts too early. Several outdoor grows in temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere showed good growth but the quantity and the quality of the buds were poor when compared with its native climate of Australia.
Ducksfoot is a large growing plant that likes to get its feet in the soil and spread its roots to support branching. Wally Duck grows this strain in a natural sea of green, for both stealth purposes and increasing yield. it is a very heavy feeder and will take all the fertilizer you care to give it – nearly double the amounts most plants prefer.
As the plants mature, the odd leaves spread out, some reaching the size of dinner plates. Wally prunes to 4-6 main branches, bending them to create a predominantly horizontal profile, with as little vertical growth as possible. Without pruning, Ducksfoot shows extensive branching patterns. Many plants display attractive pink pistils as they ripen. In favorable climates, outdoor yields are rich – 200 grams and up per plant.
Duckfoot’s odor is noticeable at several meters’ distance from the plant. Although it is a complex smell not immediately identifiable as “pot”, it can still sabotage attempts at stealth. The extreme aroma carries over into the taste: a strong spicy coffee taste that lingers pleasantly on the tongue after exhaling, sometimes with a cinnamon aftertaste. The buzz is a smile-inducing euphoria that doesn’t sacrifice coherency, making it a great daytime toke for socializing or working in the garden.
Plant structure:
Up to 8 ft in height and can be as wide, average around 6 ft. Very large, bushy webbed leaved plant . . . tends to like to spread with training to produce masses of large tight and very heavy, smelly buds. Buds have been as large as my leg... The Ducksfoot seems to be a very hardy plant. It begins to show its webbed traits on the second set of leaves, that come out quite wedged shaped and usually single bladed. The following leaf is the typical 3 fingered Ducksfoot leaf. Successive leaves will continue up to seven apparent points, and can be very large, dinner plate size. The leaves progressively lessen in points as the plant ripens as with other varieties.

Yield:
I have yielded huge amounts from my ducks, up to and over 2 pounds, due to its quick growth it is able to support hundreds of fat buds.

Maturing times:
I am still working on what sort of time it matures in climates different to mine; in my climate it is planted anywhere between October and December, and is harvested late March to mid April.
I have seen a few plants grown in the U.K. that veged well, but I don’t believe the ripening time was long enough to produce the same thing I get here, he said it was still going into November. Climates similar to Australia have had no problems at all, as far down as Perth in western oz...

Indoors:
I have grown duck indoors a few times, they veged very well, but the buds were wispy and airy and didn’t seem worth the trouble. We had 2 plants that were successful out of 20 tested, the successful ones were very good, but I haven’t seen another suited one since and would recommend that it is not grown indoors, after all why hide a plant that has its own camouflage specially suited for the outdoors?..

Bud size and form:
Some of the fattest and weightiest buds I’ve come across, green in colour... Bud formation can vary a little . . . have had them up to 4 inches in diameter and very solid, sometimes causing problems here with mould due to that fact...

Uniformity:
All plants are webbed, but some variations can occur in bud formation, i.e. , some more looser Sativa type buds, and others will resemble the tighter Indica formation... All plants have a similar smell and taste, a little stronger in some than others. It has not bothered me to have some variation in the plants, but will breed out the Sativa-looking ones and stick to the tighter fatter buds in the near future. It is nice to see all the characteristics though and all plants have performed very well in my location.

Smell and taste:
The duck has a very strong smell, even when quite young and a mature bush can be smelled from many meters away, kind of lingers in the air... Fresh buds smell very strong and will stink your house out, when dry and cured it has a very pleasant, to strong odors; a sweet hashy, spicy smell. The taste is the same as the smell, lingers on the palate for a long time afterwards and is very sweet and refreshing.

Stone:
Nice smooth stone, very steady up and relaxing and happy, very little couch lock, but still quite the powerful smoke, happy weed would describe it perfectly...

My opinion:
I really love growing the duck, it’s a really fun plant to grow and I always have some growing. The taste is just amazing and the stone brightens my day, even if it starts a little glum. I have bred many generations of this wonderful plant, and am really taken by its unique structure, growth pattern and fantastic smell...

Potential:
The duck has shown a huge potential in the area of hybridization, its vigor is added to the cross very well, as well as the smell. The hybrids have been of good size, up to average of 1 pound, with huge heads, some up to 5 inches in diameter and tight; some buds were so robust they looked as though they were growing inside out... The recent addition of a webbed Indica to my seed collection may realize some fantastic potential with webbed plants... Spare a thought for the many Ducksfoot plants that gave their lives to bring you this report.

Years back (2000's), from my dear friend, DavidJK, backyard!

The duck is a pretty powerful stone. The more you smoked the more stoned you got. To the point of puking if your not careful.

Unfortunatly, I have not heard of Wally for 3 years now and last time was when he got busted

And now some old pics: California Orange 2003, enjoy!

Anyways, it is a funny plant better suited for outdoor cz huge yielder, and need really good space.
Not so "stealth", once flowering buds, leaves, are obvious and it smell super strong most of the time....


Hope did not cloag hte thread,

 

[donkeykong]

nice info tokaite, a very interesting read. I was just starting to wonder what you guys were talking about with the ducks feet

 

[swampman]

Insane ...
Wonder how it would quack in the swamp we got all the right needs for ducks in the winter ...

Ducksfoot seemed obscure and hard to find seeds from wally. with some deeperlooking I came to this from USC, tho I think its not auto?
