Photoperiod Me and You and some Black Domina too

When I look at the Partially White Black Domina clones and look back to page two and compare to the first seed plants at the same age. I see differences. My clones stretched a lot and the originals were more stocky. Even though they have been under the same lights as before. I am seeing some white on leaf edges but that is all. I have done a bit of research on albino/leucism. I have read were the white trait is able to be turned on by the plant how and why ? Anyhow I put them with the others in the flower room at end of week 3. One week earlier than the first plants but they are really stretching so that is my reason for putting them in flower so early. I did read a paper by a professor from Ohio State that shed some light on the idea that what ever a plants genetics are that the plant is still evolving to its surroundings and makes changes to suit. Well we shall see or not see the white trait. I saw this red squirrel that is very white in the yard. Two years ago there was an albino back there. :baked:

I have the Partially white Blk. Domina plants all huddled together under the 1000w HPS light. There is a little white showing on some of the leaf edges but that is all and minimal. They are starting to flower. I do have one of this same bunch that is being grown the same way but outdoors. The outdoor plant is in veg not like this group of flower girls. Then of course there is their Mom who is in week 6 of flower and is sporting a small white patch.

I have been pondering your plant whiteness bud, as I do find it very interesting and quite unique (the uniqueness being I have not seen it before in canna). Unfortunately it also seems to be getting less and less (is this recessive, I'm not sure?).

I've put a couple of links below on the topic, more to show you are not alone. The articles are a little hit and miss to be honest, but do make a few interesting points. Mostly they go on about stress of the plant, and lack of this or that, but I don't think that is so in your case - your plants are proper quality, and you can take them through to end flower with no issues (other than the colour thing).

Keeping my fingers crossed for you mate.


 
Thank You @niceneasy for the research. As I recall this grow still has one more test since the methods to this point have not produced a plant (partially white) like the first plant. I am referring to the colloidal silver process. I do have a lot of specimens to experiment with (evil laugh). :wiz: :cheers:
 
The Black Domina's are growing well. A pic of their Mom from which they were all cloned from sporting a white bud. :pass:
