Seeds, Seeds, and erm Well Seeds

[thunderpob]

Hi All.

call me lucky but for the first time i appear to have some seeds growing one of my blueberrys (you can just see some early ones in the photos)


one of my plants grew some male flowers and being a curious noobie i let them open. now i got lucky and they don't seem to have pollinated the rest of the crop


I want to keep them as i like the idea of truly growing my own, how long until they are mature and how do i go about keeping them good when i finally cut the crop??

am learning more all the time so help, links and general derision always welcome

Peace all

Pob

Seeds will come down with the plant!Cure 2-3 weeks!Store in film case or water proof bag in fridge for longer periods!

 

[thunderpob]

Wow, Quick reply Bakerman.

i look forward to seeing what i get.

if these plants are from feminised stock will the seeds also be "female" i have no idea about the whole genetics thing as i feel asleep during genetics 101

 

[buzzed day]

when you get ready to pull the plant make sure to check the seeds and they should be dark in colour!if not let the plant go longer untel they do.peace

 

[~fvk~]

They'll most likely be hermie seeds since they came from a hermie...

 

[thunderpob]

Cheers Buzzed

is there anything extra i should feed this plant to maximise the potential of the seeds?

They'll most likely be hermie seeds since they came from a hermie...

Exactly, it will end up goin hermi and seeding all your bud. Why would you want that?

 

[bakerman]

It wont be a hermi if there was only a few5-6 flowers!I had Blueberry throw a few flowers and the seeds didnt hermi at all!I reveged that same plant with no flowers!

 

[thunderpob]

Well there were literally 6 flowers and the plant that produced the male flowers looks like this at the moment.



nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

 

[thunderpob]

Seems that everything turned out fine in the end

so far i have got 30 seeds from the 5 plants probably some more to come but no one has complained so far about the buds being seed ridden.


i am going to plant some out and see what happens

 

[thunderpob]

Planted 6 of them, they all worked!! WOOHOO free beans for me for a while

 

[smokeymacpot]

post your results after flowering them please

 

[hoosierdaddy]

Just because it hermied, does not mean it is a hermie plant, per se.
Could have been a light stress issue.
Could just be a late flower nanner.
I think folks get way too excited and give warnings that may not really be warranted.

....

 

[bigghead]

they will be all female and not hermie, i had a sensi star put out a couple nads . now have 55 seeds of ss/mp5k. tried 12 so far, all female and vigorous.

 

[thunderpob]

thanks all,

i am not up on genetics so this is a bit of a magical mystery tour for me never having harvested and planted my own seed before.

so far they look like ever other bean i have planted


they are looking good at the moment though.

 

[thunderpob]

Still looking good

36 days in and after some initial over feeding they are nearly ready to flip into flower.






Peace.

 

[rcknrllmothrfck]

Awesome, can't wait to see how they look when they're finished!

 

[Finklsteinshtkd]

yeah dude...seriously share some of those blueberry seeds man...show the love..

 

[thunderpob]

Finklsteinshtkd - i want to see what i come out with first as i have a limited supply as it was a happy accident that i got some rouge male flowers previously, i am hoping that these will be feminised seeds as they are from feminised stock but that is open to debate...

also i have no idea where to start with sharing the seeds..

rcknrllmothrfck - I hear ya and will be posting more photos when they are showing flowers (no matter what the sex turns out to be)

Peace
