Thanks Crawdad! I only have IC to thank, I've done a ton of reading since last fall and I guess some of it stuck! It's paying off.. bit by bit.
I don't expect any kind of decent weight this harvest, but it'll be nice to sample the fruits of my labor. I've tried to pollenate the SPG plant with some NL pollen and I'll grow those out to see what it becomes.. but I'm also going to keep this plant going in clone form to be safe.
If I can't get something worked out with beans, I might just self it to continue the line! Depends on how the SPGXNL plants work out..
Thanks SkunkyDemon, I have plans for the little ones! The poppa was a stout and stinky NL, so the offspring should have some remarkable variations! If I can get some heavy trichome producers like the mother, but with the yield potential of the NL.. I'm on the right track!
Targeted pollination my friend. There might be a few stray beans throughout the room from a couple hermies I culled early on, but this branch was marked and hit with the NL pollen. I plan to reveg this plant so the lower branches that are seeded can stay to mature while it gets sorted out. Then I can run clones side by side with the F1's!
I'm not sure how to gauge a plants readiness.. I'm looking for amber trichs, and see some, and yellowing fan leaves, as well as red and withering pistils.. but I don't want to jump the gun.
Here are a few shots of Red Rhino #4. She's definitely the earliest of the 3 I kept. But is she ready?? Let me know what you guys think!
