Legends never die

It’s time.

I’m dropping all of them to open pollinate outdoors deep in the woods.

You may want to consider holding half back just in case the unforseen happens………

How I got them: I got them for helping somebody’s nephew behind bars. Choices were presented, I picked the seeds :wink:

Have I grown them?
When I first got them, I germinated 100+ but had to get rid of them in early flowering.
I can 100% confirm there are VILE plants in that line. Between then and now I made a few smaller batches indoors from original stock out of fear of losing them.

Are they all skunk?
Not all, not all :wink: there is some variation, most are disgusting in a good way.

Thank you gentlemen.

@Oldjoints I’m taking cuts of everything, either before they go outside or shortly after.
It is my biggest fear. But with some preparation it should go smoothly even if something was to happen.

No skunks left behind :wink:

Nice call @Mithridate, talk about an exciting decision.

Good Luck with the Legends. It’ll be special.

I guess thats why I pulled a strange pair of Uncle Fester Skunk #18 out from the dungeon… Roots ablazing they’ll be in dirt tonight.

That’s a good idea. At least a small handful just in case

Very cool. Even if it’s a portion of the population that is vile, getting those stinky ones back into the current breeding cycle would be great! I’d love to find some old stock like that to just continually open pollinate and see what things naturally come about.

I second the notion to hold on to some for backup. Something this old and rare needs preserved. Could you do a run indoors? Or know someone who can? I’m sure there’s someone here who would be honored to help you preserve this line. Pulling up a chair for this one!!!

Normally i would wholeheartedly agree to use prudence.
That said, I did 3 runs indoors, each with between 12 and 28 plants. I also pollinated the cut I kept from the first run everytime i flowered her, with extra pollen from the following runs and have about 20 different males pollen stashed.

Let’s call it “a few” fresh beans secured :grin:

These are only the last of the 1993 seeds, a last push for maximum diversity.
