Finally an update, and not a happy one, I am sorry to say.
Three flowered already, and all three were male. And to add insult to injury, two of those were the top two most promising plants as well, Bessie and Wonder Dog. Wendy was the other one (now renamed Marvin while Marvin is the new Wendy). But she was not as lush as Wonder Dog, but was still coming along fine.
Wonder Dog and Bessie were a major blow though. Hopefully, the pollen sacs from these three that are maturing on their branches in jugs of water will be viable, and can be used to pollenate Wildfire, I am guessing that since Tinkerbell, Wildfire, Wendy, and Houdini still haven't flowered that they may be actual girls, seeing how the boys flowered at around the same time, so perhaps females flower a bit later.
At any rate, it looks like this year's yield will be sadly much smaller than last year's (which I have still not finished processing). Fortunately, that should last well to the end of the year and likely beyond. And if I can avoid heavy pollenization of Tink and Wendy, I should have enough to claim a successful grow and dedicate little Wildfire to being my seed bearer for what should be my first baseline new strain. Just debating whether I should use pollen from only one of her brothers, or all of them, with the branches marked which male fertilized her.
If I don't get viable seeds, then I try again next year. That is all part of the learning process
Still, this is going to mean probably an extra trip to the dispensary. So come help support my vices by shopping on my eCrater stores for various generic stuff at https://secretarybird.ecrater.com and https://ravenplume.ecrater.com
