Well, the Wildling:01/2023 grow proved to be quite fruitful, even resulting in both a new Wildling, and a new pure via "noble breeding", which I am trying to establish as a more pleasant sounding synonym for inbreeding...
I had 5 active subjects total, 2 girls and 3 boys; and they all got to do their thing (and are still doing their things)
She is my primary. I tried to keep her pure out back, but nope. Was not gonna happen.
I've no clue what pollinated her, other than I am certain it was not a WD:01 sibling, or a WD:00 boy. These are the Wildlings I mentioned. No Wildling sequence number applied yet, as that is done on a first collected, first named basis.
I have made this one in the small plastic trashcan my S:01, nicknamed Kennewick. He and his brothers did quite a productive number on their S:02 sister. And what with him still having unopened pollen sacs, his will be collected and the boy will be decommissioned, and planer, with its Dwarf Gray Sugar Pea will get other things for an indoor project all Winter in other growing arenas.
Katella got very well knocked up via a three vector Gang Bang pollination, meaning all three boys will get credit in my records.
These seeds are the noble bred ones making a new pure, which is to be called Muskflower-Generation:00/2024. And once the first one has sprouted, Muskflower will get a brand spanking new grow journal, which hopefully happens soon enough to be a 2024 journal, like one of the last for the year.
Tarna, the S:03 boy did a very admirable job, not only contributing to the pollination of Katella, but early on also got to pollinate my Feyleaf Lite S:00 gal while she was revegging in her bucket; making seed pods which disappeared after the reveg. I am seeing a couple new pollen sacs on him, but there is not enough to collect, so he is now declared spent and decommissioned until next year's grow.
We also have our Midseason Backup assigned as S:04 (on the hopes of a girl), no idea yet. I did just recently give her a sprinkling of Kennewick's pollen just in case she has flowered, in which case, if a girl, will likely develop seeds that will vanish after reveg.
S:05 never had a name applied to him, but that will be rectified by next year. He also did quite well in the gang bang with Katella, and even has enough unspent pollen sacs to warrant collecting them.
And finally, the two Tokens, TK:09 and TK:19
TK:09 got the same treatment as S:04. TK:19 has been really stretching and chasing the lamp inside, along with most of the other Series 1x series Tokens. Guess it is time to put them outside where Sol can give them the loving light they crave.
There are currently no plans for WD:01/2023 to be represented in the upcoming 2xx series. Instead, WD:01 will be replaced by Woofle Dust-G:00, and I likely will not start any new WD:01 seeds until 2028. I have decided that once a Wildling or a Lite in my inventory has done its thing and reproduced to produce a pure, then it is done and retired for a half decade. Then after 5 years, get one or two going as a viability test, and then every other year after that (Wildling:00/2019 is the exception, and is annual due to them being the annual 420 Challenge subjects...)
Only major updates left now are the Mutts (still waiting until Teddy is transplanted before that), and the Purple Ghost Candies from
@SeedsMan; then pretty much done (other than minor things here and there) until harvest and seed collection.
