How do you identify different phalaris strains?
« on: September 30, 2016, 10:36:24 AM »
I was curious as to how you could tell say aq-1 from a standard aquatica or like wise for other strains?

I have a supposed Big Medicine and AQ1 clone, and I do think they have a certain specificity to their morphology since they are genetically identical plants. But if I were handed any random potted phalaris, it would probably be very difficult to discern a difference.

Generally we must go on faith that the grower didn't allow any stray phalaris seeds to grow in place of the cultivar.

The only way to empirically test I think is chemical analysis like thin-layer chromatography

Yeah, I think arborescent is right. There's really no way to tell an AQ1 from any other Phalaris Aquatica except getting it from a reliable and honest source and testing content, which will vary based on growing conditions, time, season, etc anyway.

There's a good thread over the the DMT -Nexus about phalaris identification in general.

AcaciaAve is our resident Phalaris expert. Might want to send him a PM as I have not seen him around much lately.

Chimp-Z over at the Nexus is also quite knowledgeable. If it's his ID advice, I'd assume it's accurate.
