Please nobody take this the wrong way….
But I pulled a few intersex plants in the Dinosaur cookies line. At first I was gonna keep quiet, because shit happens, but I had to chuck a few early after sexing. This culprit (pictured) is 19 days old with noticeable seeds. One or two others have a visible seed or two on their top colas; for now I’m gonna blame this one plant.
It’s a legit cookies cross so I’m not surprised at all! I’m not upset. I‘m still chugging along with my 39 Citrus 25s, and that I’m still a fan of Mr. Bob/C&C. I only say all this to say, be extra vigilant if you pop Dinosaur Cookies packs
Peace

Sorry if the picture isn’t the greatest. It just shows a nanner and some seeds forming right underneath

A restock of Brood X, Bubbleghan, Ghandaddy, Light of Venus, and Pterodactyl is live at JBC Seeds.

Perfect timing… for patreon members, the Bob Hemphill Crickets & Cicadas potcast episode just released today. Just saying for anyone who didn’t know

I wonder how that Light of Venus compares to Purple Afghani x Purple Urkle CSI just dropped
How was the potcast ? I dropped my membership when politics were being discussed instead of plants.

The only thing to add that @YardG didn’t mention is:
Apparently Bob is gonna work the Light of Venus Line and Lazydog more, Overkill will not be restocked, he has multiple [landrace] x M10 hybrids coming, and a shitload of projects that he WANTS to do but may or may not get to. He REALLY likes Brood X and the Maui Dog hybrid (called Kine Bud?). Heavy D even asked if he’d get into feminized work, mainly s1ing the Brood X keeper, and he sounded completely open to it! Though he has zero interest in s1ing his library of elites (which is reasonable).
To me, the whole thing just felt like a sales-pitch. Mind you, I like C&C. I would’ve preferred to hear more about his selection process, maybe some old drug war war-stories, and a deeper dive into lineages. But then again I could just be nit-picking.
I relistened to the patreon exclusive where Bob and Menegene nerd out about strains; and that’s the kind of dialogue I like. They talk history, plant traits, breeding theories, etc

SHN just told me it has to be on the shelves for 90+ days in order for the codes to work, FYI.SHN has a re-stock of most items right now, if you're looking for: Brood X, Overkill, etc. Coupon timetospin25 does not work for C&C. It does work on other items. Politics as usual

Chopped my Dinosaur Cookies lastnight.could’ve gone another week or so but saw a couple nanners on one…. Figured why risk waiting. Everything’s frosty and shockingly dense all the way down to the plant. Purpling started early and without cold temps. By the end, the prettiest colors didn’t travel down the plant (i.e green lowers). Here’s some early pics vs. last night

So I have an update on my Citrus 25 run/project. But I’m probably going to piss somebody off or get called a n00b because I have some negative stuff to report. So here goes nothing.
To start, I popped 3packs because I wanted to add some Orange-citrus to my toolbox. I grew a ton of Tangie in years passed, then eventually Crocketts Clementine; both of which were great smoke imo. But Crockett has seemed to have fallen out of popularity since then. Plus Tangie takes too long for my states climate outdoors, and Clementine molded on me a few times; thus I moved on.
I was late to the party on C&C. But intrigued by Mr.Bobs wealth of knowledge, his pairings, plus him using a lesser-circulated Orgnkid creation. Not to mention the Jim Ortega male used. The info I was reading about the Tangerine Skunk was favorable too (i.e high potency, big yields, very orange-y while pre-dating Tangie). The goal was to specifically filial breed, and maybe keep a cut around.
Now, the males: I had 17 before I started culling some for terrible structure & internodal spacing. They all took 21+ Days to start dropping pollen. Most had pretty puny sac clusters…but I don’t judge too harshly based on that alone. Two had large sac clusters but have near-completely molded. At this point, I’m mainly looking for the one/few that DON’T mold in the tent. Then from there, reveg, evaluate, and run again.
The females: I ended up with 16 after culling a few that seemed sensitive to nutes. Took about 3wks but they’re all starting to produce some leaf resin and strong smells; mind you, they’re staggered, and the oldest ones are 4-5wks. Smells range from all Orange, to pine, to a funky-hashy orange, to a mostly earthy pine. Compared to MOST of the other gear I’m growing, they seem to be packing on some weight.
If you haven’t nitpicked my grow yet, now’s your time to shine. I noticed several girls in the tent lightly seeded. I doubt it’s stray pollen but I wont rule it out. But because of the circumstance I did a thorough check last night of everything I’m growing. All the other breeders gear was free of nanners. 4/16 of the Citrus 25s had visible nanners, with one being a true hermaphrodite. I’m fine accepting that it’s grower-error.
My moral is still high for the project overall. But because I like talking to yall and sharing my experience, I decided to write this book-of-a-update today.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

So here’s another update on my Citrus 25 project:
After discovering the intersex plants I noticed a lot of the girls were seeded. No big deal, again I’ll accept responsibility; But that crop is gone. Went though all 16, noting whatever visible traits, smells, stemrubs, etc. The main phenotypes are, from least to most common: SWEET orange, paint thinner/chemicals, to Chemical-orange which is certainly most common. Three were far enough away from the stray pollen that they look fine; ironically, each is one of the three phenotypes. Ignoring those three, I think I kept four… two based on high yield, one sweet orange IIRC, and one with the absolute grossest chemical anthrax mustard gas smells…. The type of shit Saddam fumigated Kurdish kids with
(Sorry is that too dark?)
However many weeks ago I lost power a couple times due to storms. One time for 24hrs, so the dehumidifiers were of course off. All the girls got through it. The males however completely went to shit. They were so moldy that it looked like they were covered in cobwebs. It goes without saying, I culled most of them… keeping 4-5 for reveg; based solely on flower-clusters size &/or stemrubs. I say all that to show this-
Look at the males after like a week I think…
Question: Would you use males that throw pistils (during reveg) for f2s?

I would not. You've already noted several intersex issues in this genotype when grown in your set up. The likelihood the progeny will exhibit said traits is high. Stick with genetics that does't get weird when grown in your set up and you'll have less chance of unwanted intersex pollination. Happy chucking
