Heirloom's A Little Bit Of Everything - 2016 Journal

OK..minutes, not hours.

So... next go around with making Fruit Punch seeds, I am going to flip them (pollen maker and seed host) to flower no more than a week apart. I may also try two seed hosts, one flipped the same time as the pollen maker, the other one week later. IMO I was at least week too early pollinating her. So flower numbers may suffer, but I'm sure she is already very, very seedy. Estimates are 500-600 flowers have been pollinated.

I'm going to lend out my pollen plant to a friend for a week, and hopefully in that time she (seed host) will put on more pistils for me to kill when I get it back, or with collected pollen. I have a vial with rice and pods desiccating in the fridge.

You can clearly make a lot of swelling pods out. In the last picture there are 6 you can see just in the tip of that bud.

Hi SG!


Hey Nis...I see you lurking. Watch for pregnant fruit punch pics in the next few hours.

Oh I was doing some stalking earlier...you caught me. :laughtwo:

So you can tell that pollination took place due the amber pistils already and the goofy look they have? They do look kinda odd. Congrats!


Also...500 pregnant flowers!? Dude. What are you going to do with 1,000+ seeds?! Lol you could have a corn field but with fruit punch!

I can tell by the reactions in the flower structures. I've watched them flower out normal. I know it's too early for pistils to die. Too early for swelling like this. The pollinated pistils wither differently. When you pollinate, watch them closely. You'll see what I mean, you'll know it. They seem to shrink to almost nothing. And see the big ole' white stripes on the pods? Only see them that big on pollinated flowers this early.

You got me, I misspoke. I estimate 5-600 seeds. 500, what would that be....quincentuplets, lol? Still though, what to do with them. Well, tests, crosses, back crosses, meds, gifts....and yes maybe a field of dreams. Something along those lines was recently proposed to me.

OK Birdie, but I decide the contest task/rules, with 420's permission. I think they'll let this one go, probably be all in.....

I will gift 10,000 seeds of the winners choice (must allow for acquisition and propagation time, four strains max). Anything the winner wants, but I must be able to get it.

The contest? The winner will be the one who first, quantifiably and successfully changes or persuades full change to United States laws (Federal, State and local as required) in such a manner that it would be legal for us to discuss, trade, buy, sell, propagate and ship said cannabis seeds and flowers openly, freely and with out getting myself in trouble with 420mag or the law, or 420mag in trouble with the law. Non US citizens must change the laws in your own Country as well...sorry rest of the world. But for your efforts, I will TRIPLE the prize if a non US citizen wins (still 4 strain max).

Heck, lets sweeten it. I'll throw in 10lbs (total, divided equally between strains) of flower sample too. That's 30lbs to a non US winner.

Game begins immediately and will run till the winner (and new Cannabis God) is crowned or it expires at 12:00AM CDT exactly 2 years before the day I die. I'll need some enough time to complete the prize package after all, and who knows what shape I'll be in by then.

I welcome 420 staff to the contest as well, lol. For once you are all eligible.

To register your entry and intent to complete the task you need only type the word Snickerdoodle in a post here.

Note that simply typing Snickerdoodle will not guarantee you a chance of winning, this is not a lottery. You must complete the task(s).



:goodluck:

:Namaste:

I love to watch those pollinated pistils shrink away. That's usually my own first sign of success for sure. They get shrively and turn brown.
You're making me want to pollinate again Heirloom! Looks awesome. And you are going to have a ton of seeds.

:woohoo:

Cannafan knows the pistil look!

Long, long, long hours. I finally made it to my days off. LOL

Hey, Mr. Master Gardener of all things green....and colorful......:)
Can you pop over to my grow thread and help identify my latest round of critters? I have not seen these particular bat rastards before. I would truly appreciate it.

Dayam, I was counting on the snickerdoodles. LOL Too funny!
 
Okay folks, we need more eyes and experience.

Webworm between egg and larvae?

Critters Vs. Cannafan 2016

HELP! Can you I.D. these new mite type things on one of my outdoor plants? I thought at first spider mites, there does appear to be light silk webbing in areas, but I just don't think that's what they are. I can see 4 possible legs on the larvae. They seem to have a web "tether" holding them onto the leaf? They are only on TOP of the leaf.
They aren't aphids, and they aren't Thrips. Well, not according to what I've had here before. They look nothing like the usuals. Any clue on identification?
It's going to take a microscopic lens to get these clear. They are so small.

I found it! Those are a variety of "Scale insects". I've never seen them out here before. Now I have to get rid of them.
Thanks so much for looking and requesting assistance Heirloom. More reps to you. :)

Edit: just as soon as I spread a rep or two around. LOL

yep shes pollinated , beautiful heir , i give one of my mg girls last chance tommorow with the last of the purp tibet sat pollen , im sure ill get at least 1 seed from the old boys pollen i have hope , and hey if not ive got a lot of options to breed
 
Oh, Btw Heir...you were right on point with the worm. The slight silk webbing is from one of those inch worm type things. I encouraged one out of a bud earlier, he had silked himself in there and fell out when I pulled the web out. Those are troublesome here with all of my outdoor attempts.
 
Lol I think I have a snickerdoodle's chance in hell of accomplishing that task. If that one was the final one for Hercules he would have just walked away lol! Looking at your plants I may have to reverse another twister like we talked about. Though maybe I will have a few here or there. We will see. I am a winner either way.

I'm pretty sure I can get this done! :yahoo:

Unfortunately, I think it will take me less time and effort to grow the 10 lbs. myself and accumulate the 10,000 seeds by winning the :420: sponsor contest giveaways! :rofl:
