13 different apples varieties on this tree. 7 year grafting project. It took a while to trade fruit gromies for the right cuts. Pedigree baby trees from the nurseries are like a 100$ each plus 50$ shipping. Mailing a cutting is like 5$ with a trade. Fruit growers are just like cannabis growers w rare cuts. lol

That is sweet! I am going to start planting a few more fruit trees. My peach tree just started producing last year, fruits were hard as a rock but still sweet. Anywho, ready for some bud porn.

Good morning, just having some coffee and checking out the greenhouse. 51degrees, brrr. Cool morning. The sun is out so I am not worried. The heat should stack pretty quick.
Norther lights catching some sun. They are my only plants in the whole greenhouse that haven’t shown sex yet.

Good morning friends. It’s still morning here on the west coast. Just about to enjoy a puff of ILGM auto afghani compliments of @DEEPDIVERDAVE.
I selected a boy from the tray of Barrywhite x diesel today. Notice the pretty purple/pink colored male flowers. Not the leaves and stems, but the flowers. I want to add him to my purps keepers from last summer. When I tested these seeds last summer the colors were very nice and the scent was berry and funk. Going for the purps.
The oddball thin leaves northern lights showed female today. So that’s good news. Those northern lights seemed real slow to show sex. Only one obvious male as of today. Mine are definitely the smallest (and coldest) of the bunch. Still getting down below 40 degrees every night this week. Those northern lights think they are further north than seattle lol. But I know what they will do this summer in the sun. Excited to show the tent growers big buds too. 
ILGM northern lights fam: waiting for some grandkids and dreams of summer sun grown buds.
These jillybean boys smell like a bag of jelly bellies. The new 5 pack of seeds I got this year when they rereleased the old TGA stuff. I may have to do a run w them too. Back to my original 2006 jillybean cut. I have another breeder cube aquarium (just a 75) I just got. Not a minute too soon. Looking like a busy seed run spring.

Not impressed with the Flav males. They smell like hemp stems. I would never select these in a blind boy line up. I guess they cannot all be winners.
The Plushberry seeds 2 were duds and the other 3 appear to be ladies. No studs.
The strawberry cough x Jilly bean crosses are finally showing a boy. All the rest appear to be ladies.
Yet the Barry white x diesel crosses are almost all boys. Just 4 females out of 25 seedlings. It’s a sausage party.
These are fun, forgot about these. These are all Rasta Jeff table seeds. That’s what he sells them as. Random seed mix from his left over seeds he finds after packing fresh seeds up. The orphan seeds so to speak. They all 6 appear to be female.

I have been working the purples the last 3 seasons. I would have to check my notes but I think these are f6 down the same line. The seeds I labeled “mix” for you is from these exact plants.
I do 2 generations in one season by doing seeds in the spring, reveg, and sprouting the seeds by the solstice to flower along side their mom’s proper fall flower.
Here were some of last years that I kept as clones to hit with this pollen.

Those are purple seed pods? Neat looking.

Those are male flowers about to go off. No seed pods yet. They have trays of plants to pollinate. I have clones of last years keepers.
I just noticed male flowers with very purple flesh on the preflowers, tend to make purple babies. 
. That has been my experience anyway.
