male move super fast! took this pic yesterday, 3 days from last pic and hes ready to burst, this happened to be one hell of a male. bushy, fast flowering, healthy male, with a fair smell, and decent trichome build up on the stems.

one week left really they are looking a little overdue... but fuck it :) not much yield but enough for now. probably chop as soon as the soil is dry gave them a good flush since i last fed with synthetics.

also just threw a male and female S1 sativas(#1 and #3 in germ rate) into flower just showed thier sex, and honestly out of the 2 the male is more impressive(more resin), these are the last 2 survivors out of 9 i believe. i have a few lagging still one i just transfers and 2 still very small about to be killed with the rest. cant wait to see what these produce some decent mexican sativas may be good breeding stock at least i can hope so.

first collection, well second i always toss the first, small amt and usually sterile pollen. this is the second collection and lot more to go, just stuck this in cold dark place not the fridge yet, ill do that in about a week so long as they are in this container should be good for a few weeks. simply took off the foil shook it carefully over jar(pollens sticky,kina, but it will fall of if you jostle it) then went and shook each cluster carefully with the jar underneath. doesnt seem like alot but its all over the jars and it was a fair amt. in my experience for the first drops

okay a lot goning on here....


RIP WWxBubblegum male. you served me well, collected the last of the pollen today labeled it, put it in the fridge for later use. today was the drop about more than half the balls opened and piles where waiting for me, i timed well. colleced it in a jar, i would say if i could gater it all in one spot i got about 7cc, which isnt too bad, more than enough for what i need it for.

tossed 2 comtamed jars, and fruited another one after digging the contam off the top (GT) hope i can get some fruit from it. inoculated(B+) my "bulk" which did not end up being my fancy tray, but rather the bottom of a water jug, didnt have enough spawn to mix with my substrate for that tray.

mad some new substrate to do G2G and some Agar to play around with. get some pics soon. also gonna let the new stuff sit for about a week to watch out for anything i dont want too.

Hmm I hear alot about seed exchange but never pollen. How long will it last in a fridge? ;)
a while 6months maybe more. longer in the freezer but you have to be sure to thaw in the fridge first to prevent condensation.


ahhhh i just caught myself just about fucked my pollen up MAKE SURE TO LET IT DRY FIRST FOR A FEW DAYS DERRR! took it out the fridge ill put it back later in a day or 2. stupid and high, im sure it would have been fine but better safe than sorry.

threw some Agar together using a simple tek. hoping to play around with the mycology further. and tossed this jar of GT in the fruiting chamber gonna case here in about 3 days let it get used to the air and start pinning first. just hoping with this jar, it had surface contamination that i scraped off but other wise it looks to be in good health.

had a little work took about an hour , had i been less careful would have taken 20min, but i like a fine trim since this is all head stash. somebody asked me how i dry, i dry in that thing, simple setup, i dont really have enough bud to use it soe they will probably only sit in there for the first day or so before its goes in a mest bag. i would say i pulled about 2zips maybe 2 and 1/2.on the plant on the right i had already cut some buds off. so that why it looks so much smaller than the other plant.

popped some more seeds, Bluecheesexbubblegum, wwxBgum purplexBgum. also popped Rocklock fem and SLHx(either plushberry or rocklock fem) rocklock and SLH both single seeds, and old too popped under 24 hours. same with my seeds:)

pretty pissed about the quality of my flowering PurpxBgum, its acted retarded since birth, odd leaves and such then it got better, but now that its flowering, i keep getting this feeling its gonna herm and not only that the bud are slow moving and not resinous :( too much bad traits in this one lots of recessive trait cause its unlike either of its parents. i plant on crossing it to an F2, i can only hope better pheno appear from this line, but i do have one of its siblings that looks much more promising.
all of my WWxBgum have been excellent, cant wait to find a female to cross with the awesome male.(that guy had ROOTS!)
