You still have any HOG pollen left over?

Yeah, Iā€™m steady at it. I think I have one PR trying to sprout. I decided to put the seed tray with wicking mat, outside in the sun, and stay out and get cool at night. We got to high 40ā€™s one night and around 50 for a couple.

I think I will freeze them next as I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the extra info @romanoweed and @Upstate! Weā€™ll find something that will make it. Iā€™ll read more tonight too. Right now keeping them hydrated with a wicking mat but no dome. Letting the raw sun coax them out. Iā€™m hoping that a handful of nights out in the fluctuating temps could make it happen. Itā€™s been 2 or three already. Peace

Normally people tell that warm Temperatures are what you need (75 Farenheit)ā€¦ I would take them in at night. Most probematic in old seeds is super low stored energy. By giving them cool nights, the germ-process may take longer, wich could battle stored energy even more.
A couple fluctuating Nights may still be good!

I have some frozen that is already claimed, but I have some I put in a vial a month ago. I donā€™t know if it would be good or not. In a dark closet.

If I can add to that; when you use gibberellic acid you should balance it with additional cytokinins and auxins. A little aloe and coconut water, or a little kelp. Too often people use just ga3 and the seedlings stretch to death.

Theres nothing to smoke at all. The seeds on the Panama ripen very late. Many times with other strains Iā€™ll pick seeds out of calyxā€™s that are still green. Not the case with these. They dont ripen until the calyx is yellow and brown. If pulled out when green the seed is immatureā€¦still, i will keep my eye open for something to smoke.
I think Iā€™m going to have to take the second male out of the room. The plants are beat. Used up. They will have trouble ripening all the seeds already forming, let alone new seeds.

Iā€™m down to give it a shot, throw you money for a next day delivery? Iā€™ll throw in some silica, then in the freezer and hope for best when I use it

Can it be turned into hash at least? Like ice water or something?

Before people run out and grab a can of the coconut water with the added sugar, I would recommend getting a whole coconut from the market and getting the juice from that. The aloe vera is a good suggestion.

I could definitely send it express for you. Monday.
@V4vendettaā€¦congo seeds out Monday. @rootfarmer shashamane out Monday too.
@Guitarzan are you ready for that pollen? It will need to be used right away.
Sorry to all for the seed sending slacking. Epic deck job has been kicking my ass. Between that and the weather its got me behind schedule this spring. Still putting in my garden.

Maybe at the end. Not sure. Thereā€™s at least a couple thousand more immature seeds on the plants. I could grab a bud of thatā€¦

Thanks @Upstate I appreciate it!

No, Iā€™m not man. Iā€™ve had some odd things going on with the clones I was going to use, and I donā€™t want to potentially waste that pollen on them.

Thanks for thinking of me though. :slight_smile:

Good luck! Hope you can salvage something for personal use so we can get a smoke report.

I picked a little bit of old siversides to try last night, smoked some of the Dwarf Oaxacan, and lost the weed. Iā€™m meant to wait.

Anybody been in touch with instg8er recently? I just realized it has been over a month since he last posted, hope everything is ok.

Hope youā€™re doing well @Instg8ter, and hope to see you back on the forums soon.

Iā€™ve been concerned too. I sent him a p.m. a week or two ago because I noticed he hadnā€™t been around. If youā€™re reading this @Instg8ter just get in touch with someone briefly and let us know youā€™re okay.

A photo of a long flowering ā€œPineā€ Oaxacan budā€¦

I smoked a little bit last night, microwaved.
Very very strong stuff. Knocked me out, though I was very tired before smoking. Iā€™m trying to wait for the rest to dry properly.
Iā€™ve been smoking the dwarf oaxacan during the daytime a little bit. Excellent work weed with no fatigue at the end of The Buzz. I have topped up several times throughout the day and still no burnout. I have the cutting from this one in a 2 gallon container now. Going to grow it bigger and seedless the second time.
