I have been running the Boss Hogg for almost a year now. I selected some pollen from one of three males I grew outside this summer. I used DNA Limited 91 Krypt.
I grew these intentionally to try and breed with the Boss Hogg pheno I have been mothering.
I mixed the pollen with a small amount of flour, and froze it.
After it began forming buds at around day 21, I brushed a couple branches with the pollen and set it in the veg tent for the day in a separate room.
I returned the plant to the flower room 10 hours later at bedtime and it has been flowering until harvest last week.
I had a Snowdawg BX next to it that was four weeks in and I have discovered around 10-12 beans from stray pollen, so I know the pollen was viable.
I am no professional breeder, just a pollen chucker, but I have made my share of F1s. I used that same pollen when I first collected it to propagate the DNA 91 Krypt female. I got over a hundred beans from that.
I also made some DNA Sleestack x SK1 beans earlier this year.
I have tested all the beans I've made thus far, and the germ and sprout with vigor.
When I received the Boss Hogg freebies they were a pair of regs in the Tude's 2012 Christmas Bash.
Since then there has been much discussion as to whether they were really S1s. I got two females and most other people did as well.
After six months listed out of stock and only being offered as a freebie, they are now being sold as S1s.
Is this why the pollen didn't take?
Thanks in advance everyone
