Dream Beans breeding project thread

I thinned them out yesterday and went ahead and did a “thump” of the two biggest males that have dropped the most pollen.

I am taking @Mossy advice and only pollinating for 3 days.

So I will thump again tomorrow and then one more time the next day. Maaaaybe one more day after that.

Also, I have tried a new method of too dressing. Basically just taking the little tool that came with my little seedling trays. It’s just a dowel type thing. But making a hole and putting the super soil mix in the hole.

Hi @derek420colorado
Nice project bro , i would recommend to safe some pollen if you find top noch males (do you smoke your males to test potency) for backcross in future generations.

Definitely save some pollen before culling them. Pollen I stuck in my freezer two years ago has been viable enough to make seeds in batches since, including about a hundred seeds I harvested last weekend from a few hand-pollinated lower branches. I mix it 1 part pollen to about 10 parts AP pollen (dried out in a toaster oven and cooled), which both helps to keep it dry and stretches it to brush on more effectively.

Oh yeah I am def gonna let them spew some
More and save the skeet

I have like 20 more of these seeds left so I can still get some more males.

Was opening up my little one and found a mutation, pretty cool. Plant is in dwc so I don’t expect it to get very big.

Is this one of mine?

I up potted my 3 reversals and have the 8 plants that I pollinated out in the lag in 3 gallon pots.

They are loving life and starting to produce seed rapidly. I have the remaking ones in the boom boom room still. Gonna pick the best 6 I think and put the rest on the porch

The ones on the porch are lookin good too

I will snap some pics of the little pots later or tomorrow.

I am taking @Mossy advice and only pollinating for 3 days.

Why only 3 days ?
