Hey all just have a question.
Not to familiar with making seeds, made some once ten years ago but that all the experience I got. I have some Blueberry plants going and I wanted to make some seeds so I kept a male in a solo cup and have it flowering, it's got lots of balls but none are opening up and dropping pollen. Sometimes if the branch gets touched they will just fall off. It looks like they dry up and die in stead of open.you think that could be because my 400 was within 12 inches of it? I moved it up to about 18-20 inches hoping it helps.Here's a couple pics

It looks like some are about to open up. What week of flower is the male in? I've had a couple frosty males before but never had it running down the stalk like that, really cool specimen! Hope you can get some pollen and reveg him.

It's at least 2-3 weeks maybe more, I reported it 2 nights ago and raised the light to Like 20 inches at least....so fingers crossed

Been a great summer, I see I have some catching up to do, looks like some great chucks.

I'm token on my now completely cured P-funk, stems snap and it smokes perfect in a joint now and in a bong it tastes and smokes smooth coats the mouth, sweet skunk bit of lime and funk. Nice tasting. I wouldn't say it's out of the world unique, just nice old school skunk. Smells like a skunk too. Left a bag in the trunk of the car and it stunk up the whole car, wife said she thought I hit a skunk. It's more skunky than anything I've smelled in a while. Top picture is looking into a jar, bottom pic is a quarter ounce, for size and just for the fun of it for me, I forget what a bag of weed looks like. LOL. Plus it gives an idea of what size buds they are. About two fingers, like old school. I don't trim them up like most people do now either. I don't pick every last leaf off of them either, so they look like homegrown and smell like it too!

I forget how little a quarter is. LOL

I'll be helping harvest outdoors in a day or two, then I'll be working on a new indoor project called tripod starting very soon.

I dusted a NL #6 x Appalachia female with some pollen from a Unicorn Milk male the other day and have two Grape Ape Cake males in flower right now that I'm collecting pollen from, I was hoping to get a male Tropical Escape plant out of the freebies I got but all of them ended up being female.

I'm going to use the Grape Ape Cake pollen and make some chucks with the plants I have in flower that aren't past the window to pollinate:

GMO x Grape Ape Cake
Blueberry Dub x Grape Ape Cake
Double Dipped Strawberries x Grape Ape Cake
Blue Pit x Grape Ape Cake
Tropical Escape x Grape Ape Cake
Helen Back x Grape Ape Cake

Looks like the meltdown didn't make any seeds. I have not inspected the whole thing yet though so I still have hope.

The Agent Orange is next to a sprinkler. Apparently these couple of cold days caused her to die from wetness? One branch is still alive and there are seeds on the dead flowers.

Got to harvest point with the Superskunk from Nirvana. Test bud: nice smooth smoke. Quoted at 16-18%. I compared it to my strain Ceremonial #1 and the SS wasn't anywhere near as potent. Would I recommend it? It seems to be very resistant to bud rot, so that's great if you're looking for that. I wouldn't recommend it for outdoor because I had to stake mine, the main stem is slender. My A.Gold throwback has been in since May and it needs months by the look of it, but the smell is amazing, it's really sweet without any sour. Like candyfloss.

I had a Nirvana I.C.E. plant that would grow massive colas when lst/lollypopped and wouldn't grow mold despite my grow area having 60-80% humidity and 80+ temps during a summer grow. I wish I had bred something Into it because it was damn near bulletproof, just lacked flavor. Perfect for muggy northeast where I live. Those Dutch breeders know how to select for mold and mildew resistance.

Thats crazy bro. I found 1 female ice out of the 10 pack and it was just like you said except it had a great unique fruity flavor. Was the perfect cropper. My buddy and I grew it for couple years. I lost it when I moved to California but he ran it for a while.

90f+ temp and 60-70% humidity spikes and she never batted an eye. In winter time she would be white from frost.

Harvested last week, and I've now done an early smoke test.

yesterday they were finally dry enough that I've cut them off the branches, bud them off into a large bowl like I always do.

Not even started curing in jars yet, but I'm impatient and I always like to do an early smoke test.

Smoke was surprisingly smooth and flavourful, very rich.
The stone was very nice, very relaxing sleepy kind of weed, just like I like it.

I'm in the northeast too and concur- Ice was very popular here for outdoor and indoor grows back 10 yrs or so. I remember one in particular that smelled like Sprite soda with pee. A little boring but definitely well suited for the wet, hot/cold climates of the northeast coast

(Plushberry x Cuvee F2) #51
day 39 12/12, a particularly chunky/round phenotype that smells like blueberry bubblegum. Look more indica in appearance than others.

20210929_214621.jpg
#38 Cherry gummy pheno, she is producing sap on branches but not on flowers yet. 20210929_214053.jpg
#5 Dark chocolate and cherries, despite all of these being contaminated by #71(now culled) they are still worth finishing while their clones grow to replace them for the second grow and potential f2 breeding in 1-2 months.

#41 more Indica dominant, caramel chocolate coffee pheno, Cuvee f2 dominant.
