I know there were issues with shipping. Some got sent back to him and some got lost.

No Sir, nothing recently sent your way! B.W. was last
But the good news that I can share, is my old friend with the 70% sand garden, is going to let me grow Old Toby (Syrian x Lebanese), In-ground there this Summer. @drgreensleeves
We have a great history in that dirt
Worked a couple Acapulco Golds from Nukeheads into the effort as well. … off to a great start even before we get them dirty @Upstate
Here’s to a great Summer @Sodapop

I thought I sent some to you bud but maybe I missed it somehow! @ThcTattedGenetics is right, I had about 3 international that I just couldn’t get delivered even after a few tries and 2 US letters were returned on address one to CA and NY. I’ve been having problems with like literally anything making it to their destination since February, I think 2 of the 8 letters I’ve sent since February have made it.

Upstate didn’t check his name off during the roll call and I think he would’ve if he had gotten any, thanks for speaking up on it brother.

How was that Kona Gold? @Magu it seems to be a year for it, I’ve seen a bunch of breeders posting KG this year and the ending of last

Okay buddy I just pollinated. I keep mixing you and @Magu up. @Magu I pollinated that one too. Not going to be a lot of seeds but they will be fresh

I’m open to turning this into just a Kona Thread if you wanted to share! lol would love to see some plants if you have the time

No problem, I’m sorry they never got there. I know you got a lot of beans and a lot of plants in the garden as is. There’s going to be a continent source of my KG seeds soon that I’m hoping can get it to all the growmies who I wasn’t able to get them too.

It was the last minute decision, the old Phuk-it, and now I have a few more that are wet. If its happening, we’re getting a good one (or 3) @Sodapop
These are all strains over my Pay-grade, something about Old Toby threw some immediacy into play.
Thats all it took

I never grew them myself but the ones I sent to @Upstate came from an old guy that lives on the big Island. He was a really nice guy

Sounds like you entrusted true gold to someone who’s well equipped to keep it alive and well! I hope I can get a chance to grow them out one day myself.

I just grew some tiny plants to make a mini batch of seed for a friend. Nothing photo worthy.
@Magu no problem brother

Just doing a solid for a bud, that’s really awesome. Well I bet it’s great growing even in small scale, have a great weekend.

There were 2 Kona males, one female and two very sad stragglers. I babied the stragglers at least 6 weeks i bet, and they’re growing good now, but still unsexed. I collected pollen from the 2 males, and hit the lone female. when the last 2 flower, I’ll still use them in the preservation. This one is flowering on the slower side. Definitely not an 8 weeker. I’m hoping for around 11/12 weeks
@Sodapop i try to help out solid OG’s if I’m in a position to do so😁

2 males and 1 female ended up being my exact set up and my friend flowered out the 2 slow flowers! They were much sweeter and skunk like in profile.

That is very interesting. Thank you so much. I just went through an ordeal of trying to germinate several different strains of old seed that I had held for at least 30 years. It was a blood bath.
