thanks eastcoast, yes hoping with 3 different males used in this seasons pollen chuck will offer more variety with less percentage of fails, especially excited about the Barney Rubble crosses, the one and only BR female is small...but a beauty, ultra tangy type

Sounds pretty tasty mate, nice one!!

lower 3 pics - Tiramisu Cookies(f) pollinated via Cherry Sherbet(m) approx 3' high, very nice aroma like spensive parfum, the Cherry Sherbet male used was a late bloomer so this fully seeded plant is one of the last to mature

lower 3 pics - Dynasty Caramel Haze(f) pollinated via GDP x C99(m) approx 3' high, a nice yielding type though hoping to add some chunk with the GDP, seeds inside nearly done

2 pics below - IHG Do-Lato pollinated via Cannarado Barney Rubble, this is the last of IHG left growing out of this pollen chuck season, beans in her nearly done & this girl will be coming down in the next few days.
out of all IHG used in this chuck session not 1 hermed -
1 x Do-Lato
1 x Cactido
2 x Platinum Buffalo
4 x Timeless Montage

yeah there going good. Pollinated a female ghost train haze 1 over itself and should harvest 200 female seeds in maybe a month. Other strains are catching up should be doing more pollinating this weekend with the gorilla bomb and some blue dream

sounds good and glad not to hear those furry hoppers are helping themselves, i used to have the same problem when i lived near the coast, but the strangest thing happens in the deep inland here, where only thorn bushes & trees grow, plenty of wallaby & kangaroo...yet they have no interest in cannabis, ive seen a roo sitiing within 1 metre of my plants with no fencing in a drought eating a gnarly dried out old thorn plant...yet its as if the cannabis didnt exist to it??? bizarre...in over 20yrs growing here not 1 plant has been lost to wallaby or roo, yet we know thats a different score in the coastal areas, ive got no idea why inland hoppers ignore cannabis even when they are near starving yet coastal hoppers even in a lush environment will show keen interest in a persons plants?

Yeh I know its so green up here lots of grass yet they prefer to eat cannabis plants. Only havnt to check on my plants every 3 weeks because the soil doesn't dry out in the greenhouses. Watered them yesterday pollinated a black d.o.g with gth1 female pollen . gorilla bombs should be pollinated in a couple of weeks. Critical super silver haze , the m.o.b, and trippy gorilla should be pollinated at the end of June.

Yeh I'll do king Kong, cookies kush, Scotts og, moonshine haze and star killer crosses in early September and use those female seeds for planting in December for 3 to 4 foot tall plants hidden in latana.

nice, have you started using the silver/feminising treatments yet?

last of the Raspberry Kush x C99, this one has been pollinated via G.A.S. Cherry Sherbet male, be coming down any day now as beans inside her purt near ripe

GC I have been swamped at work, but everything looks g great! Glad you did not have any herm issues, that bodes well for the next generation.

I hope you have some hash making gear. You are going to be knee deep in frosty trim and bud pieces once you break all your seeds out.

That is really strange that the inland animals there ignore the plants. They seem to be a delicacy here for anything that can find them.

hey i hope you dont overwork...we know Jack becomes a bit dull with too much of it, yes very fortunate with lack of herm in the IHG range...though i got caught out by my 1 & only GGG Diamonds & Dust girl, she was in a corner looking innocent n all but was secretly out of view throwing banana's! so some nearby her were pollinated...no great loss but that hard lesson is always there i guess lol, had 1 Raspberry Kush x C99 herm too, she had been pollinated by GDP x C99 but i culled her cos theres no way i want to pass on the herm trait to future offspring, ive got a buddy who takes all the trim and plays around with it, i used to make oil with solvents but not bothered anymore with that, im happy with the hash scrapped off the trim scissors, and yes its great to be able to place plants in pots out in the remote areas with no fences & not have to worry about animals eating them, makes stealth much more easier too, though there's still things like locusts & butterfly caterpillars that can take a heavy toll sometimes when they breed up in large numbers...rarely a trouble free season anywhere really, just gotta soldier on i guess

thanks man, yes that Cannaventure Raspberry Kush x Mosca C99 is a wonderful pollen chuck, gotta watch it cos 1 in 30 will herm, but she has got all that im looking for in power, taste & bag appeal, hate trimming but this type of bud is not too bad with less leaf than some others too

results from pollen chuck - IHG Cactido(f) x Cannarado Barney Rubble(m) approx 2000 beans, most of the pollen chuck seeds look healthy though expecting anything up to 50% will not make the grade
