I had never heard of this strain up until a few months ago. I was fortunate to receive some F2s from from @Mongobongo. I selected one Male out of three and plan to open pollinate one female and selectivley pollinate a second female.
The male is expressing more of the Blueberry traits as I hoped. I would say it’s a solid two weeks before propagation.
Thanks @Sincy. My understanding of the introduction of the blue magoo was its use in a back cross, which then leaves the question, is it a true IBL?? In any event its lineage is great on both sides and is beutiful plant. As a gardener we have to trust the information available from the breeders description.
I just want to add to this diary that after 60 days the OHB has come full circle. The girls are ready for pollination, the clones are rooted, and the trichs are showing.
Mine will be under the big blue sky this summer so we shall see. I wish I had more I only had six seeds to start with and I have 4 going but one purple stemed one that’s struggling I don’t remember there being purple stemmed phenos. I do have the OH x PAC but I LL make the four work I only really need one big bad male to work with.
