I'm getting ready to chuck some Jungle Spice pollen on a couple Bad Dawg lines. My first time chuckin'...I can't wait to try the results later. :bigjoint:
Looking forward to running some of those AG's too...maybe get lucky and find a good pollen donor there too.

Im still a noob too. I have no idea what to look for in a male. I just grab one and let her rip.. lol
 
***Green Bodhi / Bodhi*** Update... If anybody grabbed packs of the Ancient OG crosses I have some important info for you... I wet 10 of the Kosher Kush x Ancient OG beans and 8 sprouted, not bad. The issue comes next... 6 of them needed "helmet surgery" and even then 3 or 4 needed an additional C-section of that skin layer underneath that holds the cotyledons shut. If you have no idea what I am talking about I would do some research before popping these. I would call them an "advanced" situation for sure. All of the 8 are looking good but I have done this type of thing for many years. I dont have the steady hands I had 30 years ago and my sight is sucking ass as well... add to that my fat-fingers and I'm surprised they all made it. This is just a heads-up in order to "save the beans" and save you any frustration.

Wish I had some.... always good shit from copa. Thank you for the heads up. I have had this happen a few times as of late with other strains. I know the surgery you speak of. My hands at a younger age lol than you have trouble now and again and I've done many lol.

This is good information not to be ignored and will end up saving many here much aggravation and money! And to boot on a strain that's not as easy to get these days! Its sometimes the simple shit that messes you up! Very good post!

Shaky, blind and clumsy! You just explained me. I have killed many a seed taking helmets and skins off. I get nervous when I see one out of the ground with shell on, I say a little prayer for it before proceeding. Lol

Old, shaky, and about blind here, but I've had so many seeds like that, it's become 2nd nature to deal with it. I almost expect it to happen.

I scarify every seed in a pill bottle w/ 220 grit.

If they pop w/ the seed case still on, keeping it wet helps loosen it. Or, planting a little deeper, and the sprout can scrape the case as it breaks through.

Even with all my afflictions, a couple of wooden skewers or tooth picks, and a very light touch will eventually pry the case off. Sometimes it takes a bunch re-wetting, but it will come off.

And, that membrane comes off the same way.

It's definitely worth getting good at this, lol!

So this raises a question I've been wondering about. I have a pack from that release of SBSE x Ancient OG . Is there any reason I should expect the same thing to happen with a completely different mother? It seems possible that the shape and "construction" of a seed could be determined by the mom's genes only. The few times I've painted two branches of a plant with different pollen sources, the seeds have looked identical. In other words, do you think the Ancient OG male has anything to do with this?
 
I firmly believe that structure,etc of seeds is entirely dictated upon inherent genetics, and timing/environment when the pollination occurred. I.e., you can have a clones that are pollinated with the same pollen, but in separate states of health, and thus end up with seeds that do not look the same, but will grow the same. I have been working a few projects over the last 7 years that makes me believe this. Please chime in with your thoughts.....
 
I definitely agree that seeds from the same genetic cross can turn out different depending on conditions and health of the mother clones. But what about my situation. Say I take one branch of a plant and paint on some Ancient OG pollen and then, at the same time, paint a different branch of the same plant with some Thai pollen. Should the seeds look and be constructed the same? They HAVE the few times I've tried this... at least as far as I could tell. The sprouts may have different amounts of vigor and one might pop the shell off easier...I know that's possible... but are they all trying to pop off the same kind of shell?

I dont have a solid answer to that question but I do have all of the crosses that were made and plan to run them all in due time... so I will keep everyone posted if you want when the time comes.
 
Greetings all,
Here are some glamour shots of the SSDD x Bubba Katsu tester from last round. I too had a high ratio of males in the seedlings, but this lady turned out mighty pretty. Not much of a yielder without some major training, but super unique sandalwood, rain, Kush, and maybe zumiez store terps? Tastes like snagging a bowl from the parents in the 90's. Really looking forward to this next round: Lemon Thai x OMG and SSDD x Axis is the label, but I think it is SSDD x (axis x snow lotus) as per the tester list...anyway the Thai/Ghani beans are gigantic! Cool to see such an active community of Bodhi genetics enthusiasts here. IMG_0755.jpgIMG_0756.jpgIMG_0720.jpg

I can't say from experience, mainly because I only pollinated individual plants , and not individual branches. As long as they pop, that's half the battle!
