The 13 seedlings coming fine, there is 1 Glo F2 looking a bit lazy,just adapting to the idea that he is alive.
Well, I think Einstein didn´t talk till he was around 4 years old, so a slow start means nothing really yet.
Harry I'm trying to make an end all for the blueberry strains and prove which is best in areas BB is known for: Euphoric high, BB smell/Taste, coloration. I'll chuck ya some of the BB xBB crosses in seed when I get there.
I think a good male can be found in peak, I'm sure as you've found out it breeds better than it is?
25/30 Peakseed BB germed in 3 days so that's pretty respectable.
here is a link to the BB vs BB vs BB vs BB vs MOB lol
He was similar to Daddy but no smell... some flowers opened,no much pollen, no interesting.
KB X BB doesn´t make sense to me. I´ve got a pack so a new hunting for a male&interesting females makes more sense to me ( KB X KB). That female comes from just 4 seeds.
If I cross her with BB the flowering time is going to go up, I´m afraid.
I was yesterday checking some Peak Seeds reviews and I saw 1 grower commenting that his male/female ratio with Peak´s gear is 3 male for every 7 female.
Do you remember your own numbers, just curious about the ratios of other growers as my ratio till now has been 12 seeds ( 4 KB + 8 BB ) 2 males 10 females.
I can't really remember what my ratios where but I think they were greater than 50/50 and thats good for my environment. Usually I get more males when starting Outdoors.
If you want more females I would keep the environment as dry as possible from germ through seedling stage. It works trust me. The only rational I can put to why it works is that a dry climate allows pollen to spread more easily and therefor plants that are not "true" in gender will have a greater rate of becoming females. Where was a wet environment would need more pollen to spread at the same rate, resulting in higher male ratio.
I've also read that seeds started in rooms full of females will tend to be males, no experience there though.
I know your past the stages but just a tip to anyone in need. Your ratio's are very good!

You may have to teach me spanish, I've taken two classes and haven't learned shit.
