*A Citrus Explosion of Orange and Lemon*
The pollination of my notorious 'Orange Velvet' with Subcool's infamous 'Jack The Ripper' (direct offspring of the 'Jack's Cleaner')... is currently taking place.
Let's take a peak at the 'Jack The Ripper' male choosen to complete the project.
When the female is 3-4 weeks into flower, she will be prime for pollination.
A male is ready when his balls start getting plump & dangling. Care must be taken, as a male can have a few premature sacs. Males will continue to produce balls.
Subcool and I are still trying to decide on a name for the combination of our two strains.
Any suggestions?
We allow our females to remain in a remote room with the male for about 5 days. When the female becomes pollinated her pistils will begin to wither.
We wash our females with water after the pollination process is complete, taking care to rinse soil & the pot as well. The water will deactivate any unused pollen, making the plant safe to return to the main flowering room.
Check out the pollen falling like magic dust. Fine particles attaching themselves to the sticky pistils of the female. Soon her bracts will become swollen with tiny seeds... the start of a new strain!
this new strain sounds good, perhaps you should call it jacks velvet? the rippers orange? lol i dunno
oooo or orange ripper
Beautiful pictures! Great to see someone who wishes to give at least some aesthetic value to the boards.
As for a name? The Velvet Revolver? :) or Orange Rip, Riptide... ;)
ripped velvet
I like ripped velvet or orange velvet.... orange herer sounds good too
HAHAHAHA "Jack in a Velvet Orange Overcoat" is just great.
I think Velvet Revolver wasn't a half bad one, aside from being a ripoff.
James Bond
I always wanted a strain called James Bond
