ok so this is a small victory for me,
seeds from my first official vft Hybrid
typical / b52 , cross
so not a huge deal but pretty cool for me,
was the only two plants that flowered ,
pollinated them by hand using Qtip .

Congrats

Congratulations! A milestone!

Just FYI, it cannot be considered a hybrid because both of the parents were the same species.

That’s why you could potentially make this a new cultivar instead of it being “typical x B52”.
Ex. “B51” or “Lesser Titan”

Don’t you have to go through some sort of official process to name a cultivar? You can call your plants something, but I think “cultivar” is used for plants registered with the ICPS (?) and applies only to one individual plant and clones thereof.

and yea i am hoping to get something extra special out of this batch,

Yes, you do, That being said if he were to submit it, get it verified, start a little TC, selling it professionally, doing some more TC, selling some more until it’s larger companies have it available, start his own business, build his business, & hire a crew to clone for him. THEN he could have his own widely available cultivar

Awesome
