Farmer Needed - Breeding program

[Spohaw]

Sounds like you can prove you're going to be breeding them easy so I still don't think you will have a problem

So ...... what variety are they from ? h34r:

 

[BottloBill]

***** really starting to get fun now! Lets start throwing some names at this variety/varieties.....Wet dreams

Yobs Secret

 

[DU99]

i think its an australian/NZ hop he has got..but i could be wrong

 

[Spohaw]

Think he said it was American

 

[Charst]

even if you get female plants couldn't you more easily get more seeds of a cascade or something and cross that way?

Female Yob Magic X Cascade?

 

[Yob]

Confirmed American

Toward the start of the alphabet...

 

[DU99]

CTZ

 

[Weizguy]

Ahtanum, Alamo, Arkansas, AXl Rose, Aggressive war-mongers, Armageddon?

 

[n87]

Aardvark...

 

[Spohaw]

Amarillo , be good to cross that with a cascade I reckon ...... Be some great hops come from that combo

Think you will have any problems with weather growing hops where you are ?

Cheers Spohaw

 

[BottloBill]

One of the C's ???

 

[Yob]

No, not a c hop but as said, I'm wanting to cross it with c hops, I have a cascade and Columbus and a Chinook female naturally

 

[BottloBill]

Hmmm...Apollo, bravo....not a C hop so that rules out Chelan and Calypso too

 

[BottloBill]

Morning all, Im after a farmer, Ive got some seeds of a well known and much loved US varitey that Im hoping I can get a male from this year, if successful, I'd like to propogate it and use it in a hop breeding trial, partly just as fun, partly because I think it'd be cool and partly because having my/our own varitey of hop would be effing awesome.

Must be a Vic based farmer, Id be happy to help with the work setting it up, poles, lines etc, I'd see an initial yard of maybe 4 rows x 10 each row and then depending on the rub, selection and expansion from there.

will take a few years with absolutely no certainty in it, but you never know, we may get lucky

Either way, I think it'll be a fun experiment if anyones keen, let me know, naturally, it all depends on getting a good male this year to spring from.

Cheers

Bump for Yobs sake of getting back to a genuine question and outreach

 

[Curly79]

Yeah. Whats the story? Have we got a location yet Yob? I'm in the same area as Martin. Could possibly help out?

[Yob]

we have several locations, Martin included. If there is more interest in the program Im happy to include others.

As said though, I still need to germinate and identify the male which isnt going to happen in the next week or so.

Patience folks This isnt going to happen overnight and is really a long term kinda thang.

[Spohaw]

How is germination going ?

 

[Yob]

I haven't found the male yet.. er.. not holding out much hope on this season for the right one... I will however, with help get the propogation of the crop females this year..

efforts are ongoing and relentless

I'll look back through the threads and start a group PM and interested growers, we can then continue to plot ( :lol: ) offline :icon_drunk:
