Well, that’s a wrap for this year’s breeding season. Almost 1900 seeds and 3 new strains (see last pic for totals). Every seed was harvested one at a time, from the plant and packaged accordingly (glad to be done with that part).
Cheers!
EDIT: The males came from six seeds that I found in a bag of weed that a friend gave me, last season, and he wasn’t sure what they were. A few weeks ago I was talking to the guy who gave him the original plants he grew, and he confirmed that they were DJ Short blueberries, but I called them “mystery seeds” pretty much all season (the female I kept reeked of blueberry).
Crosses:
BLUE LEMON: DJS Blueberry x Lemon Layer Cake (Evermore Cannabis)
HUMBOLDT STREET: Dream Queen (HSC) x DJS Blueberry
IRISH CRAZE: Dream Queen (HSC) x Lemon Layer Cake - Funky Guava (Evermore Cannabis)
DJ SHORT BLUEBERRY: inbred between sister and brothers.
All pollinating was done manually with a fine paint brush. I cut the pollen with flour at about a 4:1 ratio. To increase genetic diversity in future generations, I blended the DJS Blueberry pollen from the two males, so the F1 seeds in all these crosses could have different fathers, but still from the same strain (future crosses will be male/female and family specific).
