These seed are pre divorce Miz Jill are a f2 strain. These are from the original clone called “Melvin” Space Queen
Subcool told Weedmaps they picked up the Orange Velvet clone, called “Melvin” at the time, roughly around 2006 from a nearby family that had the mother plant. They crossed the female with their own Space Queen male, which was the last remaining seeds of its kind left at the time.
Named after MzJill – as well as for its candy-citrus, limonene and pinene-dominant scent profile and tropical jelly bean flavor, Jilly Bean was among High Times’ Top Ten Strains of 2007. It was named the magazine’s best Sativa of 2014 and took 1st place at the Adam Dunn Show Invitational.
Jilly Bean is no longer carried by TGA Genetics and is now in the hands of MzJill’s seed bank, Oregon-based MzJill Genetics. According to Subcool, the Jilly Bean currently bred by MzJill is an open-pollinated F2 hybrid version of the strain.
The 1st regulars on TL2 moved up. If you are on the list and wish off, let me know. If you have dropped to member since the sign up don’t worry about the reg em. Everybody on the list is good.
TL2 Members:
Updating list: You will have had to be a member here before April '24 to sign up here as that is when the list went up. If that doesn’t fill the list, it will open to newer members.
Thanks @G-paS for posting that. Thanks everyone !
Hopefully you will have better luck with these. They are old seeds but been in my freezer for the 12 or so years since i bought them… they look ok, a couple are a bit small but hopefully they will pop !

"I worked with the action group, rather than grow out the clones and do another reversal of the three female only plant, I will grow the subcool seeds gifted from @VerdantGreen this fall instead.

The people on the list with have first dibs."
“I just dropped the first 5 a week ago. 4 cracked after 48 hr water soak and 72 hours in paper towel 2 had little tap roots. They have been in a soil/WC for 48 hours now and nothing yet.”
As you can see, one looked funny went right to the bottom. I had read this weren’t viable and it wasn’t
“Nothing made it above ground. I will give them more time and hope”
"Yes!
I am going to get some more proxied and try a different method on some of the seeds form '17 that I don’t have any information for them.
They were stored improperly before I learned to on here.
So, if they germ yours will as yours were stored right."
I have been reading and working to figure out the best way to germinate old seeds.
These seeds are original and came from @weedNerd.Anthony (5-5-10 for 20 seeds and @budwhisperer donated there five.
I bought almost $100 in chemicals. I haven’t used those yet but I will try different methods on the rest here.
I washed in a 2:1 distilled water and 3% peroxide. I agitated for 10-20 min.
Then they were washed in plain distilled water.
Then I tried to cut pointy end of the seeds off (This was my first try and I don’t think I got enough off all but 1 and sort of off another.
Then they went on JP’s EC method.
I soaked in a full-power distilled water mixed as recommended for ~18 hours.
This was put on a heat pad set at 80 and covered with towels to keep in the dark.
Two days later one with the most cut off had a ¼” tail and the sort of one had a little tail peeking out.
The next day the one had a ½” tail and went into a Root Riot cube. It went under a light and when it stretched to 4” and went into a solo cup and the steam buried to 1” of steam. Finger crossed as I lost some or the other ten after this point.
This is the 3rd try. I started will the HappyMan seed. I tried to revers the 3 fem plants. It was a disaster.
I got 10 Subcool seeds from @VerdantGreen. All I got was a few with a root point up to 1/4".
None made it any further.
I now have 5 TGA/Subcool from @BudWhisperer and 20 from @Weednerd.Anthony .
The people that signed-up 'ed from the September '23 list have first dibs. When I flip to 12/12 I will work on deleting people from the list that haven’t been here in a year. The people that didn’t claim Spring '22 and fall '24 will also be removed.
Will keep watching most definitely on this reproduction an THANK U for that information hope u have a wonderful day OG sister an 3rd time is the charm u got this
Good luck germinating these. I hope you get a high percentage that make it to
the seedling stage. It’s a cliff hanger for sure when working with older seeds.
Good luck @G-paS. Thank you for keeping some legendary stuff alive and well for generations to come!! I’m very excited about this grow and I sure appreciate you for taking the time to conduct it. Good luck, I’m rooting for you!!!
