Orange zkittles breeding project

That is good news...My plants are 19 1/2" and that includes a 10" pot, so it is possible to keep the blueberry, thai x cck,really short...The sativa lateral branching is much easier to deal with, when using extreme LST. I looked at my grow pics in show your grow and for that I used manifolding but that was it..I can see the thai in the background is quite a bit taller then the various cross but it was under 5 ft..
 
Really looking forward to growing that Thai out, it definitely has some romantic allure because of it's history. Been scared I don't have the space for it but figure I can always keep cutting it back pre flowering, and super crop post flowering
 
Welp, I harvested my seeds, figure I got about 400 or 500 from each cross. I got far less from the Thai chili peppers. Now going to turn my attention to other projects but first I've just cloned a sour diesel to create pollen and chuck at a wide variety of plants including a couple of these seeds that I'm popping right about... Now. I like the idea of sour orange zkittles.

Nice seed run..looks like you did whole plant with that number of seeds? Peppers ....I had some pepper plants in side too, but they only produced little jelly bean size peppers, not to mention they attracted bugs...I pulled them a month ago to stop the bugs..I bet they are Smoking Hot.

Franklin did you use one parent to pollinate or did you C.S both.plants?

I would grow both (thai and thai x s.c) out...Never did see the thai x s.c grow out...It would be a nice thc boost for the thai, but unsure if I would want the resin packed thai or thai with the thick frosting s.c puts on...O s.c reacts well to 3 days dark before harvest, thai not so much.
 
I pollinated the whole plant but they were little dwarf clones thrown almost straight into flower. I only pollinated with the OZ no 1 because I was greatly preferring the terpenes on that one via smell. Ironically or not, I prefer the smoke on the no2. But the no1 was exactly what I was breeding towards. Orange candy.
 
Haven't updated this for a while.

Okay to catch everyone up I have been working on crossing Skittles with hog orange barb to make an orange Skittles. I had a lot of success with the f2 crosses I made recently, I had one phenotype that was super orange and expressive and one that was more like orange plus funk. Even though the first one was exactly what I was trying to breed, I actually like the orange plus funk better and I'm naming it taste the rainbow.

I took a couple of clones from a current grow that I have going on, cookies and sour d, reversed them for pollen in order to do an open pollination and continue to work on the orange Skittles project. I ended up tossing the cookies because the sour d is turning out so nice and I thought it would be a perfect cross with my orange Skittles to make a sour orange Skittles.

So now I have nine quart size containers in a 2x2, I've kept them intentionally small by pruning them back repeatedly. I'm not looking for lots of bud, just seeds, and you really don't need too many buds to get a bunch of seed. I've got white widow, a sour d, an American cookies, a taste of the rainbow f2, a orange Skittles f2 (auto), a orange Skittles crossed with red CBD (auto; was going for a red color in the orange zkittles with this cross, but it seems to have dropped the red color and the scent is all from the red CBD which is very floral and not what I was going for), a super skunk, and black Jack. So all of these will be crossed with the sour d.

The pollen started releasing from the sour d a few days ago and I've been doing open pollination. I think the only ones I'm really interested in are the sour d crossed with taste of the rainbow and the sour d super skunk cross.

Should have seeds in about 5 weeks. If anyone's interested let me know, I'm more than happy to send these out for free to anyone here I recognize and maybe even some people who are new.

Franklin which cross is the smoothest to smoke? F1, or the S? wth some funk?...I think the funk comes from the orange barb with tangie heritage..
 
They're both smooth but the f1 is the one that keeps me coming back for more, trying to find that certain thing that seems emissive
 
thanks franklin for the feed back... perhaps look into the heritage of the original strains you used to cross and maybe you will find a clue to the missing trait...
 
Franklin a little update - You might have to refer to the list but number 1#, 3# and 5# were chosen. The 1# is the smallest of them but the F2 appears to be pretty robust and the 5# is going to be a monster..I have been using GH Floral Nova....The s.c x c.c.k ..x b.b cross is a bit touchy as they both require more cal mag. I was wondering when your zkittles cross turns red / purple?

That's so great man, I'm so glad that you're growing these out. None of them should turn red or purple, that's not a characteristic of the Skittles. I think it's called Skittles because it has a fruity and sweet taste. Maybe you're mixing this up with another grow that I've done, which is a red CBD crossed with AK-47. That one turned out really well, I think I have a few seeds that it left if you want some. I did get one, but only one, seed from the red CBD crossed with my orange Skittles cross, trying to decide when and how I'm going to grow that out to keep the genetics.
 
Franklin took some pics this morning of the F1 and S1 progress...Noticed the node spacing is like a clone rather then the side by side that grows out from seed..I thought it was worthy of mentioning...Have the pics on phone but need to move them to p.c so I can upload......
 
Huh, interesting. Can't wait to see my babies growing up. Did that node spacing happen right out of the gate? My older plants usually start doing that, which is why clones do that too because they are older. Maybe ten nodes up or so.
