strangebrew Posted January 21, 2006 Would I be correct in assuming the scopulicola was a cutting because that is freaky, low-down flowering!

Happy Cadaver Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) it was a cutting planted about 5 months before that picture, nearly next to the monky bodo shed of hate. Edited April 17, 2007 by darcy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salvi Posted January 21, 2006 Should make some pretty interesting plants I would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted January 21, 2006 yeah for sure we got scop X pach hybrids and i got some pach X peru seedlings we can do some mendelian genetics on some traits lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gusto Posted January 21, 2006 Nice job with the cross, Darcy. Should make for some interesting offspring, especially seeing how the mom's a midget. Maybe she'll pass on those free flowering traits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zee_werp Posted January 24, 2006 Just a couple of questions. Which part of the flower did you rub the pollen onto? The 'starfish' shaped bit that sticks out more, or the many thinner tendrils that are deeper in the flower, or just all over? Also, how long did it take for the fruit to mature and how did you know when to remove it? Just wait till it cracks open? I'm about to try this exact same cross and am hoping for things to go OK, any pollination tips much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Cadaver Posted January 24, 2006 lol, rub it on the starfish, that's the female part, the stigma. the fruit took about 6 weeks to mature, it really starts to swell in the last few days. Came out one morning and it had split and dropped off. Be carfeul though cause things will eat it at this stage, there were ants on mine. I had a cage around the whole plant, just cause it's so small. check out the 'scop pollen wanted' topic in the seed exchange, some good tips in there. good luck!

ferret Posted February 6, 2006 just harvested my scop x bridgesii fruit yesterday, if anyone wants some seed send me a PM. ill put pix up tomorrow, mumma is a fatty glaucous spiny scop. dunno how good an acceptor the bridgesii is, nothing (pach,peru,scop) seemed to take but then a few key branches were lost in a big storm. one more chance this year i think... oh yeah cheers for the seed darcy, got 100% up within a week, and they are charging along!

foolsbreath Posted March 18, 2006 If the fruit falls off prematurely, I guess she's stuffed right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
