Testers: Soloberry #2 and #3

One more #2 popped out of the starter plug this afternoon, looking pretty pale atm though

The first one up is doing alright so far

1 of the soloberry 2 seeds popped, but 3 of them are stalled out, and I am giving up on them now, its too frustrating for me to see such little progress on the unhatched seeds, so I am moving on to the next stage of the testing…

So, I have 4 soloberry 3 and 1 soloberry 2 plant going now as seedlings in styro cups, with foxfarm ocean forest.

7x soloberry3 and 8x soloberry 2. This second batch of soloberry2 all cracked no problem. Rather than waiting for them to throw long tails and loosen the seed shell, I just put them straight into peat pucks and soil solo cups. These lucky solo2’s are getting fresh sunshine4+perlite. Haven’t bought new soil in over a year, so these next grows will be an easy ride.

Ended up with 3 #2’s from the first batch, the new ones in tubes will likely wait until spring and then maybe try indoor vs outdoor

Got bugs, spider mites came in trashed the veg tent,

I’ll spray and clean, wait a week or two, start over, good thing you send me more seeds.

I’ll save what I can, I’m going to try to reverse the autos for some pollen.

I’ll update when I can. Damn bugs.

Had dropped 3 of each in water, they cracked but I never got any tails…but I have a feeling its more of user error than defect lol. Planning to try a few more this weekend though now that I’ve got things a little more stable again.

it’s starting to look like it’s not user error, but i hope that’s what it is.

I’ve got 4 “up” pretty sure one of my SB3 's won’t survive, emerged upside down but now the tip of the root just looks wrong (like a yellow/brown blob)so 100% germ.

Here are my two SB 2’s. Not sure what I’m going to do with them, didn’t plan on growing anything for a while.

the front fan leaf on the left one looks like someone sliced the serrated edge off. weird.

Sorry guys I got silenced. Well anyways. I got one of each going strong. I’m going to pop a free more just to make sure we find a few females. Here is the#3 going strong now.

SB#3 found his way into a 4" grodan. The other 3, all died off - no clear reason. Restarted more. :pleading_face:
