ItsAllOver
Devil's Advocate
So, I have a bag of seeds. Some are bagseed I have collected over time, but I *think* that a couple Bubblegum beans got tossed in there during a move or something, and I was wondering if I popped them all, what would be the chances of determining which were the Bgums? I would love to try them out, but I don't know how much of a pita this would be. I am pretty ignorant as far as strain identification goes (and I bet it's really hard to do anyway)
What would the process be like? I assume something like this:
1) Pop all seeds
2) Veg them out to mother size
3) Take cuttings of each, noting which mother they came from (eg #1, #2, etc)
4) Flower the mothers (or daddies) while the cuttings are rooting, and sex them.
5) Toss the males, and the clones that came from them
6) Continue flowering the females, and begin to determine which ones seem most like bubblegum
So step 6 is where things get hard, unless the bagseed plants are very apparent. Also, I just don't think I have the room to have this flowering experiment going!
OK, I think I answered my own question, but would any "bubblegum experts" out there be willing/able to help if I was able to snap some photos later of these flowering girls? I will probably set up a little CFL flowering operation in a few months and try this out. Until then, the beans will be popped and vegged.
Peace, and thanks for understanding my ignorace! lol
