So, the time had come, I finished the experiment today
Cut off the shoots and laid them on a newspaper to dry
And since I had to wait so long, I also directly plucked the flowers from the branches and checked what was inside
It was a sticky but very good smelling affair.
And TADAAA, some immediately stuck to my resinous fingers. Now I will wait until the flowers are dry and then take out the rest of the seeds.
All in all, a successful experiment. And expandable.
Meanwhile, in the tent, I treated a few of the lower popcorn buds from my two other strains with Gorilla Sherbet pollen, using a brush to specifically pollinate only the flowers that would have been too small for smoking anyway and also received too little light. This way I created a strain from a Fat Bastard/Gorilla Sherbet and a strain from a Bubble Gum Sherb/Gorilla Sherbet. Both were successful. The Bubble Gum is already curing and 28 seeds came out of the two mini buds. I briefly checked the Fat Bastard when I hung it on the clothesline and immediately had one on my finger; the rest will come out during trimming.
Next month I finally have vacation and then I’ll start the next round, where the Fat Bastard will be propagated and I’ll cross it with the Bubble Gum Sherb. This will result in my desired strain, the Black Forest Queen. This time with a grow log. And since I will only be treating the Fat Bastard, I can still enjoy the Bubble Gum Sherb when it is harvested.
Have fun recreating it
