Coming upon the end of week 7 into the flowering of this accidently totally pollinated regular Blue moon [r] (f) #2, one can clearly see the effort she is making to ensure a healthy offspring, bean-wise so to speak.. All the nutrients go to making beans, instead of flowers / weed. She has, because of the pollination, a tremendous need for nitrogen. To much for my one size feeds all feeding regiment. I am using Biobizz products wich is a bit low in the values conserning the N-P-K, I am also re-using my growing medium and have not been upgrading my soil in a while.
The refference clone, Blue moon [r] (f) #2 K#1, is not showing any signs of unstability and I there for must asume I made a tremendous mess of things during the pollination of the originator of the clone. This, for me ,is the firat time I end up with a totally pollinated plant. I have to rethink my pollination procedure.
I am guessing a large amount of seeds are coming my way wich either could be regular “Stealing the moon” beans ( Blue moon x CriMnL [F2] (m) #1 [Mr. Stinky] ) or “Moon over the alps” beans ( Blue moon x Alpenglow [r] (m) #3 [Mr. Bendy] ). Not in the least the upcoming bean palooza also could be Blue moon [r] (f) #2 [S1] beans.
I was a bit worriesd that the Blue moon [r] regular crossing I'd made whas unstable but I'm not seeing any signs of this in the clone I am flowering off and which Is coming up-on week 2 into the flowering.
Happily grow your own.
