On the seed... yes, it could be a full on female, BUT, not one you want to keep around.. my reason is, if this particular pheno of that cross experienced the small amount of stress you described and it caused hermie issues.. well, you sure don't want to pass this trait along to anything else. I'd personally throw them seeds away to avoid using them and possibly passing along this aweful trait bro.. no, throw them away and move on ok..
Not sure it was you who drowned the seeds buddy, they were just to hard shelled and old seeds possibly not stored properly.. But, he admitted to his error and I hope will correct it by passing all us involved a newer generation and nice fresh seeds and we can try this test grow all over again.. Seraphim and myself are about the only ones growing a female.. mine is around 5wks old.. and man does she smell wonderful..
Hey quag,
Glad to hear that a couple of us got those stubborn BRB's to pop up!
And on the thing you said about 'not being sure if I was the one who DROWNED' my seeds"...YES, it was me.
Anyhow, on to the forum subject: I'm an IDIOT!!!
When I decided to go and do my last TWO BRB's I also started up TWO Fem. 'Auto Diesels' from the seed (and breeder) site I've been using for about a year and a half now called 'Original-ssc.com'. Like most sites they sell THEIR OWN breeders seeds as well as a clearinghouse/distribution for other breeders like DinaFem, Nirvana, Herbies, etc. Anyway, like I said, I'm an idiot.
I started out emery-boarding 'em, soaking them ( in separate cups of course and labeled), then into the towels into bags overnight again, both labeled.
Next day, with tails about 1/8 inch or at least shells cracked and the tail lining th crack, ready to pop out soooo...I figured, hey, I'm gonna use peat pellets, as in MY experience, I have about 75%-85% efficacy and seedling results.
So as I prepared the pellets, the heating mat and dome I kept them on SEPERATE, LABELED plates!
Next I put the germinated seeds into the pellets and onto a waiting paper towel, again, taking NO CHANCES, labeled on either end as well...
So next I grab the two Auto D's and put it m in the the jiffy-dome then put the BRB's in as well then.....the phone rings; I answer it. Telemarketer. Bye-bye! Back to work....."OMFG! CWOL!! (Cry-whining out loud, lol!)
I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH ARE WHICH!!!Long story short, TWO ended up popping thru and ore now about 2 1/2" tall with 2nd leaf sets coming in and are going into either 1 or 3 gal. 'homes' today. But I STILL am not ANYWHERe near sure if I have 2 BRB, 2 Auto D, 1 of each, etc! The ONLY difference i see right now is tat one is a bit smaller than the other....
I guess all I can do from here is transfer and and wait until it'd be sexing time or until they're mature enough and if both or one is a BRB that it will show the breeds signature 'craggily leaves'??
Again, thanks for listening and if someone could reply to this post with a good pic of the BRB with its strange, twisty leaves. Peace and resin grease!
