Planted these two at the start of spring but because of less than ideal conditions they remained small and unlikely to yield much
however this has led to an oppurtunity to use some of the Red Diesel Feminised pollen I'm making.
I will pollinate them in about 3 weeks from now if/when the Clone I'm using provides me with viable pollen.
Hopefully they will both produce a few seeds I can grow out and see what develops from them.
It was a cold miserable week as far as growing is concerned. We even had a few hail storms nevertheless the plants are still alive and look
fine to me . Still hoping to pollinate in two weeks as long as I have some pollen to do it with that is.
Both girls had a bit of a growth spurt this week. The gelato is around 70 cm the Girl scout cookies a tad taller again.
Approaching the optimum window of pollination but still waiting on the pollen from my other project.
Still growing along nicely I'll be pollinating in the coming days as soon as the clones I have shed a bit more pollen.
I'll use a small artists type paintbrush to dab it on . The Gelato and Girl scout cookies both have a nice aroma developing
The deed's been done. I officially pollinated (hopefully) the two plants this morning before any full sun was able to shine on them.
I used a small artists paintbrush to gently apply pollen from a Barneys Farm Red diesel Clone which had been feminised using a sodium thiosulfate solution.
See https://growdiaries.com/diaries/42051-barney-039-s-farm-red-diesel-grow-journal-by-grey-wolf-growdiaries for those details .
Time will now tell whether I was successful or not.
Today is the first day of Summer here and these girls are loving the sunshine. You can tell by the way their leaves seem to be reaching upwards to be carressed by the
Warm sun. No sign yet as to whether they were successfully pollinated or not.
***************Updated today 3rd December , I was out with the camera today and took a couple of close up pics of the Gelato and GSC flowers.
the photos appear to show what looks like developing seed bracts/pods although I'm far from certain yet. **********************
I'm starting to think these girls may have been pollinated successfully but until I'm certain I won't be claiming a success. It definately looks like the buds have seed bracts
I'm impressed with the trichome development , especially with the Girl scout cookies!! Her triches have long glands bulbous heads and are visible all over the buds and sugar leaves. They both have unique smells but again the GSC wins as it's aroma is very strong.
The two Fastbuds strains are going well , The Gelato only has very small flowers growing but I'm hoping this is because it's been pollinated and expending it's energy on producing viable seeds. The Girl scout cookies bud's are a little chunkier than the gelato and have a stronger smell too.
I'm also hoping that these were pollinated and are developing seeds. I gave them both a bit of a boost by feeding them some Blackstrap mollasses mixed in with some rainwater and Ph'd to 6.5. Thanks again for checking out my breeding diary.
Welcome Back to my first Breeding Diary , The last week was Bloody Hot!! and a lot of the Gelato plants fan leaves were scorched from the direct sunshine.
Because the Girl scout cookies was partially shaded it wasn't burnt like the other one. It must be getting closer to being ready now with the buds swelling nicely and smelling
very nice indeed. I'll give any seeds 2 more weeks to develop then I'll chop them down and dry them before removing any seeds.
I'm especially hoping this project worked now as I got an email from Barney's Farm about New strains and Discontinued ones and bugger me if they havent decided to
Discontinue Red Diesel, which is a shame as I rate it as an excellent yielder , smoke smell and Taste are great so if you haven't tried it I'd suggest grabbing some Red Diesel
Seeds before they are gone forever. That's it for this week have a Very Merry Christmas Folks See you next time 👍
These Very Relaxing and pleasant tasting, sparkling trichome covered Buds burn quite well considering the lack of any curing . There simply isn't enough to even bother
with a cure and I'll be rolling the lot into fat joints for New Years Eve .
Hi all I hope you had a wonderful Christmas 👍
So I got curious a few days ago and decided to have a fiddle with one of the buds from the Girl scout cookies plant. I let it dry in a paper bag first and then had a sqizz at it.
After I tore it apart I was pleased to find a nice fat healthy seed (see 1st pic)
well after that I thought to myself Bloody hell mate there must be a heap more of those fellas in there then, so with that in mind I harvested the whole plant.
After that lot was dried I tore into it looking for more seeds (see video) but unfortunately I only ended up with the three viable seeds the others I found were either
green or already damaged. Not to worry as atleast I have those three to attempt germination with which is better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick as my old man
likes to say. Ive partaken in a few bonghits as I write this of the Girl scout cookies bud that I harvested and I can tell you its some nice shit man 😁
The Gelato Plant will be harvested tomorrow and Im hoping that may have some seed aswell.
The whole purpose of this experiment was to cross the Barneys Farm Red Diesel Feminised Pollen I created with a good tasty strain in an attempt in creating seed.
So as far as that part goes & even tho I only got the three seeds I feel it was mostly a Success. I will definatey need to refine both my Pollen collecting and Pollinating techniques to achieve better results. Thankyou to all who followed along I enjoyed doing this diary.
Now to see if I can get the seeds to Germinate .......................................................................Update 3rd Jan 2020 I have got one to pop and the Diary for it will be called Ginger Nuts
Fast Buds most desired strain to date, Gelato Auto, a delicious dessert cannabis strain. Auto flowering genetics crossed with Thin Mint Cookies and Sunset Sherbet make this unique strain.
Sweet cookies, sharp citrus, and subdued earthy-coffee flavors that everyone will want to get their hands on. It’s a balanced, high-THC hybrid, making it the perfect choice for cannabis lovers of all types. These dense, rich-smelling buds, dripping with resin are the perfect choice for both social occasions or relaxing at home.
Well the Gelato is dried and there were'nt any seeds at all so in conclusion there simply wasn't enough pollen produced to pollinate both plants , and only just enough to get
the 3 seeds I achieved from the Girl Scout cookies Plant.
It's a great tasting strain thats for sure and it has a very relaxing effect. I will definately grow this one again soon. 💪👍
