Outdoor seed run attempt.

[Franklin Sinatra]

Thanks for coming to the thread m8s I appreciate yall coming through and reading my notes. It always makes a grow extra fun when you have people following along.

Well in regards to my current grow.
I reckon I will also attempt to collect fem pollen from my pollen donors. Would be fun to try and hit a fee branches of my sensi run with some blackstrap pollen as well.. Always nice to just have a back up plan for your back up plan. Well I should be hopefully seeing heads of seedlings soon so I am very excited to see what's to come. Seeds.. we want seeds!

Also unrelated but I put my headband cut I got from discord outside to reveg, and it looks like she's coming back with new growth

Hell after I take cuts of her after reveg, maybe I should let her get pollinated by the blackstrap as well hahahaha.

Happy growing growmies

Looks like she is. Awesome.

I should've started spraying a week or two back but I just started spraying sts in the beginning of the plants 2nd week of flower. I am actually spraying the purple pheno, not the green one. Will be collecting pollen hopefully to pollinate alot of what I've got going on. No clones being taken sadly as these ladies stayed very very small.

Heres my thoughts.

Continue to spray purple pheno w Sts.
Collect pollen from purple plant
Hopefully the pot neighbor will get pollinated (keeping fingers crossed)
My other 5gal outside had 2 strains in and 5 seeds total. Most likely though the seed that popped is a blackstrap. She will get pollinated either way. Really hope she isn't the cbd strain but we will find out.


Hopefully Pollinating a few branches with that collected pollen. Strains to pollinate that I have going now.

Linda-seeds: Afghan skunk auto & Wedding cake auto
Gnome Blackstrap auto
Seedstockers cookies auto


Popping GG4 autos by Linda's as well now 2 seeds in water. These might get pollinated as well.


I have to move states.. going back home basically. That means it's time to switch gears and go into full on making seeds mode! These crosses will be great! Going to order some autoreg seeds next paycheck and I'll be making one last seed run before I go.

These are just notes so I have my thoughts written down. I'll try and post more pics later this week hopefully. Even thought of moving my blackstrap indoors seeing as this runs focus is no longer sensimellia, but ill play it by the eye. There's my rambling

Green pheno (hopefully she will take the pollen even if it's late)
I'll run them way past bud maturity for the seeds to mature if need be.

Purple pheno I sprayed with sts, gonna spray every 3 days

Praying to the gods this is a Blackstrap. Odds are 60% she's not a cbd auto. Also the cbd autos got planted a week prior and never came up so it's most likely a blackstrap

Also full duplex said that the green pheno of blackstrap is rare and sought after, wonder if I got said rare pheno.

Shoutout to his hardwork, I'm a big fan.

My seeds are usually mature at 35 days after pollination. Your plants are looking very nice.

So the STS I received was pretty weak and didn't turn my female.. kinda gave up on this and was very sad, an 80 dollar seed pack gone. Or so I thought!

About 2 weeks ago I seen her finally producing pollensacs. Was out checking her with my cuz and realized that omg she got pollen sacs! Here's some more pics from 2 weeks ago.

So I quickly put all my outdoor plants close to the Blackstrap pollen donor and brought out one of my Linda's Afghan Skunk auto clones to also get pollinated and finish growing outside. So I'll have 2 strains of beans: Blackstrap s2 or r2, and Afghan skunk X Blackstrap. I'm over the moon happy and have been dusting the pollen on my plants every couple of days.

That was 2 weeks ago now and she's dropping enough pollen for the flowers to make a puff of pollen when I shake the fem flowers! I'll continue the journey in the next post! Exciting news!

Oh also that lady that popped up late was a blackstrap! Looks just like the lighter colored Blackstrap which I believe leans more towards the BLC.

She's a stunner for sure. These ladies all smell great too. My backyard definitely has some sweet smells going on now. A mixture of gassy funk and sweetness, just how I like it.

So I was almost certain that the pot mate of the reversal was too far into flower to become pollinated.. seems like I am happily mistaken, and I have seen seed forming on the very chunky potmate of the reversed plant. I'm so happy yall. So I'll have 2 plants of blackstrap seeds and 1 with a new s1 cross! I'm over the moon growmies.

She was planted at the same time as her potmate and was easily 4 to 5 weeks into flower.. she still decided to give me seeds, I'm blessed. :smoking:

Colors are insane.. :smoking:

And here's the rest of my photo dump from this week. I'll try to update this thread now that I'm actually getting success lol.

I was just being a crybaby and ditched the thread when I thought I failed.. oops sorry

Pollen donor, thank you ma'am.

The young Blackstrap

Group pic after recharge, coconut water, and silica.

Skunk looking very pregnant. Male flower sacs still sticking to her.

Smells in the backyard are less sweet now and definitely strong fuel, and I'm all for it. Upon stem and bud rubs I am getting a hint of sweet from the pollen receivers. The reversed plant however which is deep dark purps is very fuel with minimal sweetness if any.

I belive she leans towards the Anvil, but im not experienced enough to truly know. I will say looks wise though I definitely have 2 phenos. The reversed pheno which is deep dark purple, and the other 2 which is a lighter purple that mostly stays in the buds. Absolutely fuxking beautiful ladies, thanks to Gnome and Brother Mendel forsure.
