Project 2
Breeding again, another small fun run, looking at creating a F1 Cross and preserving a cultivar IBL
Goal 1
* Black Gorilla X Black Gorilla *
- Hoping out of the 4 beans a ♂️♀️will preserve their line
Acquired the Auto Black Gorilla's on a FB trade informed there a Auto version of Farmhouse genetics Black Gorilla
*Edit did 4 beans 3 cracked 2 sprouted*
Tossing in a Gorilla Cookies cultivar to make a F1 Cross to play around with in the future
Future thoughts
1. Bx to another FastBuds Gorilla Cookies to help stabilize the line to that geno in a Regular form
2. Breed together for a F2 line for a wild Pheno hunt for traits for a F3 then IBL
3. Breed with a Seedsman/ or FastBuds Auto Zkittlez
1 black Gorilla sprouted another cracked though still in the paper towel till a longer tap root develops be germinating another black gorilla bean to help increase to odds, my last one 🤞
Growing in stepwell living soil
Gorilla Cookies cracked and coming along
She's in the monster can, curious if a air-pot 16oz can pot with a wicking system would do
She's in a 50:50 mix of perlite and coco
🖖🌱🔥
🍜
Little late but not forgotten
3rd and final bean popped so out of 4 got 2 sprouts had 3 crack though the 3rd one didn't make it unfortunately
🤞got a ♂️♀️to make babies if not be a small flower run
So far so good
3rd one had some sprouting issues hoping that's over with seems healthly now
They're doing alright
The gorilla cookies is in coco perlite mix with air stone her feeding different from the other 2 that are in stepwell living soil
GC took a nitrogen hit already feeding remo nutrients
Wasn't enough going on to update weekly
1st male doing well harvesting pollen and storing in the fridge till needed when the auto fems are ready
2nd male hermie out decided to scrap him, would have been neat to have male seeds on hand but the sensitivity to herm out not a trait to pass forward on to future genetics
Gorilla cookies got upgraded to a bigger pot she's doing good be dusting with the male auto while they grow
Update
Pollination successful
Transplanted late so she be stunted, but seeds are in the making that's what counts
Once completed be testing out a flower run on the F1's dubbing "Great Ape" will have a Male pollinate a Feminized Gorilla Cookies to start a BX Gorilla Cookies in Traditional seed down the road
That pretty much concludes this breeding project
Sadly wasn't able to preserve Black Gorilla Autos, did achieve a healthy male to harvest pollen for Crosses
Will update how the mother to be is producing
She's petite, hoping mighty big things to come🙃🤞😆
Think she got prego to early... Very little to no new floral sites developing though what is their is swelling and showcasing seed development
She's on the auto pot system with my other 3 other receiving a grow feed schedule, am adding purpinator for some extra p/k to the feed and help the vegging girls come along
New to breeding auto's... Did learn, if your planning on using feminized mama's. Pop them first about 2-3 wks in advance... Then plant your traditional beans for your male, males take about 3 weeks to show sex then start releasing around wk4, females 4-5 weeks (or if at all).... Plant ahead 3wks then plant male male be pollinating wk 3-4 be wk 6-7 for lady auto
Anyways that's a thought I would share
I'll be testing it out next time on F2's and Bxs
Harvested what i could off the Black Gorilla male for pollen and is in the fridge waiting on the other 3 to develop along till about wk 7 before trying the Q-tip method on selected branches.
🌱🔥
🍜
She's focusing on new floral signs now
Might have a few nugs to try at the end of this hehehe
Pods that have seeds are maturing along nicely
Added astroflower and purpinator to the mix to help with the needed PK need but not to effect the vegging autos to much with root stress
Added a foliar spray of Velokelp and Magnifical to the ladies routine, help 2 fast buds girls boost up in color and help them all preform better
🌱🔥
🍜
Maturing the beans away and producing some new inflorescence, few more weeks and beans should be ready:)
October 7th seems i was off on the beans being ready... So are falling down will line the bottom with white paper incase more fruit drop from the tree.
Majority should be ready in a couple weeks or so
Was wk 4-5 when she got dusted with black gorilla pollen takes about 6-8 weeks for beans around 5 wks into pregnancy
Doing her thing and being a awesome mom about it
Some stress is starting to show feed to high for her but it is what it is, really not to worried
Her natural instincts to produce Healthy offspring is in action
Did find her holding her first born few days ago
Line the bottom with paper to catch any that fall
Code naming the offspring Great Ape till i grow some out and get a better understanding of the cultivar both parents being coming from gorilla glue 4 and GSC backround with the father having some blackberry kush linage brings hopes of potential
I cant say anything about this cultivar on smoke first time growing it and handled well
I stressed her to flower small and transplanted first wk in flower so she was stunted and stressed again
Received a high P K diet handled high EC for a Auto no hermie-ing at all
She was pollinated way early due to the male flowering earlier then her
Forgot males flower earlier then females and is beat to have a female 2-3 weeks ahead of the male
Will grow again have 2 more beans in the collection
