I would say it's not worth keeping that wee seedling. It will probably take an age to grow plus you know me. If it's not perfect it's out lol .Returned to the greenhouse today as the tray the pouches where in hasn't been watered in two days. It wasn't necessary as the pouches are still wet...
And guess what I saw? Yup a couple of seedlings which weren't going to make the cut...

Only got one of this F1 cultivar left. Beginning to thing it ain't worth the trouble... But as we are learning I'm gonna keep her and try to get some seeds from her.

I did keep this one, but what do you think @Sawney_bean? Is this a genetic flaw?

Inside the tent the seven gentlemen are a bit outshined by the Night Queens, but that's ok. Yesterday evening I treated the lot again with STS, which was 9 days since the last treatment. Yup, I know that's to long a wait...

But on the other hand I found a second plant that has started to form balls...

Just a short update... I checked the seeds and my last 013-0 seed hatched. This got sowed in a pouch and is now waiting to go to the greenhouse.

Hey fellow Wannabreeders 
The new sprout is sitting next to it's sisters inside the greenhouse. I gave all of them plenty of water and let them acclimate in front of the window. Since no leaves are showing I can get away with it, but as soon as leaves are showing my paranoia kicks in and I make sure no prying eyes can get a peep inside
Meanwhile I tried to take an overhead shot of all the seedlings. This way we can all see how they are doing forming new leaves...
I really need to use a better sharpy cause this color is fading like Martin Seamus McFly's
Today is the second day I withheld water from the pouches as they still felt wet this morning. In the evening you could see cracks in the soil appear, but the soil still felt heavy. So I'll check that tomorrow morning and see if they need a splash of H2O
Hope you guys enjoyed todays post.
for watching.
Regards,
Bob

Hey friends
I recovered some pollen from the White Widow branch. Don't think it'll be viable as I had to open the male flowers manually and it isn't much. But I'm sure gonna try it out on a branch or two...
Made another visit to the greenhouse to close the windows for the night and had to take a seat and take a second and enjoy these...

Yup, I was planning on doing just that brotherCrack on dude, you never know if you will get seeds unless you try
Already have a good idea with which one. Also a cultivar I liked very much and was gone before I knew it, hehe 
So I educate myself and hopefully others to ánd get to grow both cultivars in one plant next year. Ok, next year will become a pheno hunt in where I'll try to stabilize it into one or several F2's. Well see how far we get

I'm not sure why it is, but sometimes I just hang out with the plants and watch them grow. Not that they change much while I'm there.Hey friends

If there's enough concentrate along for the ride, who knowsI'm not sure why it is, but sometimes I just hang out with the plants and watch them grow. Not that they change much while I'm there.
