Finally have a day off to drink some coffee and get some updates going here. popped 8 lavender jack beans, all 8 germinated and sprouted. two of them were popped a few days before the others so naturally they’re bigger at this point. Ive been debating to myself whether or not to f2 them to have backups. The seedling on the far right is actually a Blueberry Hashplant. couldn’t help myself… lol.
Im a bit curious though, if I did f2 them should I pick the best male and pollinate all females, or just keep all males x all females? If I kept all males and they dropped pollen at different times, would I have to isolate one until the other catches up or how would you guys go about that?
Since I have a good bit of bottled notes leftover (I run the Lucas Formula once organic potting soil nutes are all depleted) I figured I might as well use it up while doing the seed run. But, do synthetic nutes affect how the seeds turn out? I’ve read something about how seeds are produced could affect the outcome of the seeds. Any credence to that?
Anyways, just thinking out loud, maybe someone with experience could chime in.
