Time for the good, the bad and the ugly
The Good:
I'll have plenty of seedless black dog for personal smoke
The Bad:
None of the frozen goji pollen was viable yet the tiny tiny amount of tangerine power frozen pollen was viable. I tossed the goji male and even tossed the goji female. This go all 4 goji females were not what I was looking for, not bad but not better than the Black dogs or lvtk.
The ugly:
1/4 lvtk x tangerine power seedlings to make it above ground with helmets off have been twisted leaf mutants. I'm gonna let the 2 new mutants veg for a bit to see if they stay funked up. Some of the blueberries I did back in 2002 did the twisted leaves for a couple sets and then go to pretty normal growth. I'll see if these do but I ain't holding my breath.
I was surprised with the goji pollen losing viability but not the tang pow. Both were put in mason jars, both were completely dry, I let both defrost in the fridge and let them get to room temp wrapped in a towel so no condensation formed on the outside or insides of the jars.
Maybe I missed some organic material that might have been in the goji pollen which caused issues? Or maybe it was just luck of the draw. I know the fresh goji pollen wasn't very virile in the pollen department. Fuck it, got the next round going and the new male I'll end up chucking with will either be a roasted garlic margy, a miyagi x grapes 13 or this normal looking lvtk x tangerine power if it's a dude.
