led05.... Beautiful zinnia's.... they make great cut flowers for the mrs... last year i found zinnia's called 'profusion' they grow short , 15/18'', filled with flowers, the widen to about 24'', don't have to be deadheaded and produce almost till the frost, n best thing no PM...

yep a little east of nycity.... and god bless the people who live upstate ... my problem is the humidity... no problem in july and aug, but once the end of sept rolls around, sun does not come up as early, so the humid...very humid air stays in the bud longer... and rot sets in ... happens every year... on the other hand i grow elsewhere in my veggie/flower garden next to my plot of zinnia's..... zinnia's 'always' get PM... so having my pot plants 15/20feet away means they too get PM....

as u said too bad we can't bring the sun inside... and leave the nasties outside...

Depending on your situation, window growing can be fun and shockingly effective

Thanks - past couple years heavy fungal pressure across board @ here; haven’t had those super cold (sub zero) week or two in winter that normally sets everything well back, cut out 3 apple, a pear & a peach tree last year

Often wished front my house & back were reversed

Sour update - starting to smell a bit more funky in there; house & garage all Skunky but when up on plants not much, the diesel unique smells dominate - some of these are beasts, especially the one in back left corner…. Recall two tall more NLD leaning plants are HI Indica x Ampakafo

^^ Taste & smoke the best

 

[ledo]

HI I x Ampakafo are gonna be frost bomb screamers, flowers looking very NLD dominate which is surprising some being a near 50/50 hybrid

i cant even begin to imagine how many seeds will be produced in this room... lookin pro... and those tall NLDs are beauts for sure

Tens of thousands for sure - I’ll be growing them out soon to test, happily ; perhaps BX to the 01’ Sour D as well then, I’ve got two I’m eyeing to reveg that are just a notch above the others Id use to do so…

Peace, thx for swinging by

Sour D 2001 - seeded up very well, time to collect pollen from the one male (from 8) which is what I ended up going from, Sour Mango Stud from Wally

Beautiful white pollen

Plenty already fallen

I’ll let go another day then clean it up; trim down male to almost nothing & reveg him

somebody is going to make seeds

I’m more excited about the beans forming in the WLD Hawaiian x Ampakafo tbh, but yes, way too many seeds forming in there, as good a pollination as one could ever hope on every plant… now I’ll scrape up the pollen like blow, stick into a few bags and use it over the next 3-4 years, or more depending on how long it lasts… I’ve used 3 year old pollen I left in a desk drawer and still had a tiny bit viability, shocked me… stable basement but still….

It’s fun comparing shelf life of room, fridge, freezer stuff, don’t ever believe what you hear online unless you’ve tried it yourself, AND especially from me - ha ha !

 

[ledo]

I’ll do another collection later but this is plenty, will last a while & is high quality, dry & very clean pollen…. I know quite a few who sift there’s, will add flour to bulk it up etc but for me nothing is easier nor as proficient as this simple method

Tilt & flowers fall off pollen stays put

Nothing but seed coming from this room

Beautiful

Thank you

Observation: when Making seeds, it’s most important grow there is, I hope same for everyone…

2nd Observation: for years, decades many seedbanks lied like it was a collective under a single house many breeders working together, I mean literally same physical locations, reality it was testers making seed… most often

3rd Observation: it’s better today but not by a lot, a single person can do it all no issue, rarely if ever do they, They are marketing Gurus.. the biggest issue is clearly singular geographic locations and one can only make seed where they are

4th Observation: Breeders, give me a location, site & lot # for my seed… just like ALL other species seed makers - wtf already, selfishly I’d like plant # & photos too but that would be seriously revealing

Healthy plants make healthy seeds, 3 real clear duds here, rest likely get used All Diesels already are too narrowed… selfing the same already deteriorating lines over & over & over again is deleterious & frankly, stupid

 

[Synthettek]

Great work, impressive photos. Can't wait to see the seeds that are the outcome.

I’ll send ya some, cheers - remind me

But I’m not into collecting money nor paying much for others postage so hopefully you’re in the states, if not I’ll still send to ya as I already said I would, above - just now, guess I could edit that - ha…

If a handful people want to grow these or the HI Indica x Ampakafo id be happy to share if you’re into growing them out, soon, and sharing your experiences - Bad & Good

Wally; how many you want (your dad)? even with your crazy Oz posts Nazi & Gestapo you fellas know I’ve yet to fail - many sends over the past 5 years -

Peace
