@@itatae10 yes the basil fields emanate a beautiful aroma. It is a very relaxing place to be.

@@itatae10 awesome always great to meet a basil aficionado. Glad you enjoy the channel.

@BasicallyaboutBasil I grow African blue basil and purple basil for pesto and seasoning uses. Might buy your sky blue and see how that turns out. Love the blue and purple pigments.

@ cool deal we really appreciate it.

@@Ambassador_829 just search basically about Basil and you’ll find our website.

Www.basicallyaboutbasil.com is where I have them listed.

@@kgplants I’m not totally sure. I can’t make any official medical claims but I’m sure different basils would have different effects due to the different terpene contents.

nice

That’s too bad. I wonder why this one is giving you trouble?

@@BasicallyaboutBasil I'm just thinking the first batch I made a few mistakes with. The 2nd batch I think the roots were just not developed enough and the soil I put them in might not have been optimal for helping them spread. I figured it out with the last cutting, but the roots just weren't developing. I tried to actually take smaller cuttings from the clones you sent but even those didn't take like I thought they would.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil I'm thinking now that I've run the course with them and learned a few things that the 3rd time should be the charm. When I get around to purchasing some clones this coming year, maybe you can send some generous unrooted trimmings, and I can start them in an optimal soil mix down here. I have found success rooting cuttings in a 50/50 mix of potting soil and native soil. I put them in a shallow base of rainwater and keep them in a morning sun heavy and afternoon shade location and they almost always root like crazy. I figure if it doesn't work the 3rd time then it's not meant to be.

@ yeah the rooted cuttings take a bit of nursing to get them going. They actually have to transition between water and soil roots so it takes about to weeks to get them going. You have to slowly transition from having the soil soaked to partially dry.

I looked it up, but was curious why it's important to you (what you think is cool to know about these )

@@exposure3569 it’s because they contain all the fragrant flavorful compounds. I want to breed the most flavorful basil possible so I look for more trichomes.

@@nesforce7712 thank you we really appreciate it

@@snugglebunny.jmosbrook yes that is true everyone’s taste buds are different. I many like the smell of the bubblegum ones or brewing a tea. When you say Florida basil do you mean the native variety ocimum campechianum? Sure I got a few more Williamsburg blue if you’re interested. A black basil would be interesting but not sure if possible. Wishing you all the best.

@ yes. Florida basil from Florida native person.

@@johnny2965 yeah basil is pretty wacky with polyploidization. I’m not a biologist but my mother is. She got me a book on ocimum and when she read it she said the genus is genetically crazy so to speak. Different species with different chromosome numbers that can cross easily. There are basil species in nature that occurred from natural hybrids. I do sell seeds and will be selling cuttings in the spring. My nursery license only covers East coast. To get seeds just search basically about Basil to find my website. I do dry shift kief of chaff from my seed processing and make a hot cream and milk basil drink with it.

@BasicallyaboutBasil thats awesome! I'll be on the lookout for your stuff! I'm definitely a bit west of the Mississippi lol Washington state closer to Oregon and Idaho than the ocean.

@@shepperdwright3557 or a good basil tea.

@@user-ml8rc9od5z that’s great. Pesto pizza is a favorite of ours. I hope he enjoys the basil focused content

@@MellowWind yes basil can be grown hydroponically. I personally prefer and have only grown in soil.

Get an air pump and small air stone, 3-5 gal blacked out bucket and then get to learning what works best for feed wise. It does require changing water so there’s more labor I’d say, but it’s cleaner than dirt and mobile if having them outdoors. For great info, look into cannabis hydro growing, it’s all the same, often you’ll read posts about so n so regularly grows this or that veg, but watching these videos they’ve learned new techniques. We are all as one in the growmie community. Can’t learn without ever trying

Thanks so much I appreciate it

@@snugglebunny.jmosbrook are you referring to the one that’s a bit bubblegumy? Most of my plants are hybridized with that one.

@@snugglebunny.jmosbrook totally agree. Maybe in the future I’ll splurge for a microscope with more zoom and better pictures.

@ wonder how much that would cost. The Tricia’s shapes are interesting, and they are there when dried…

@@snugglebunny.jmosbrook I guess the price just depends on how good I want. I think if I had even just 2000X and twice the resolutions it would be good enough. I definitely had a lot of fun seeing the shapes for the first time. I normally just noticed them because the plants would have a bit of a sparkle to them.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil interesting, will have to look for the sparkle next time.

@@T.H.C.-TheHempConnection no this is a basil flower which is a bit different.

@@bogdodder5497 I’m right there with you.

Yes the hybrids will definitely produce pollen. What can happen though is the tube the pollen goes down can be deformed resulting in reduced fertility from what I understand. Also basil has some funky stuff going on with the chromosome number which can vary when you hybridize as far as I know.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil That's good to know though. I do have some Chaos Theory planted around some cool basils. Everything that grew from the Linnamon, to the beekeeper, and the 2020 mix all produced plants that have produced seeds. So, I will keep an eye out to see if anything shows up that looks like it might have crossed with the Chaos Theory or may have come directly from it.

@@skiptoacceptancemdarlin it’s definitely basil. I’m a professional basil breeder.

@@5lip5pace cool deal we appreciate the interest. I don’t have seeds for this one yet but hope to offer some at the end of 2025. We do offer a variety of others on our website just search basically about Basil and you should find it.

Hi, I decided to make available my open pollinated seeds for this one. Since its a hybrid and the seeds are open pollinated in my breeding plot they won't breed true but should have some characteristics of the parent. I have some small seedlings now and some appear to be fairly sparkly with trichomes. You can find the seeds listed on our website.

@@williampatrickfurey that’s true. Although Thai basil is sold with flowers on sometimes. Eating flowers is mostly for a home grow.

@BasicallyaboutBasil I'm lying, I've seen it in the cases of arugula I buy, my bad, totally forgot

Thanks for the interest. I hope so too. Basil essential oil is prized so why not try to breed for higher concentrations. Having more glandular trichomes will also make it easier to extract the essential oil simple by doing a dry shift Basil kief. I have always had trouble with small batch steam distilling of essential oil so Basil kief is my go to method for making extract now. It will also look plain cool if I can get these flowers totally encrusted with trichomes.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil how can we use to Increase Tricones in Cannabis?

@ it’s a separate species and would have to be bred within the species.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil Do the purple basil varieties give different colored trichomes, sometimes? In the cannabis world, there are trichomes with different shapes, some trichomes are greasy and other trichomes are sandy. Some trichomes have thin necks, something that is coveted by those who do cold water extractions. Are you going to make F2s, F3s, and so on for lines of Basil that have higher concentrations of their trichomes? I'm most curious about the variety of difference between Basil flowers on the thickness of those trichomes, do mutations hurt or hinder the trichome density and oils, and whether the males make any trichomes at all, etc. There's a lot to learn from your video.

@ For the most part they seem to be clear and sparkly or golden. I’m getting a microscope soon to further investigate. Normally Basil trichomes seem to be powdery when dry but this plant seems to be producing some sticky leaves which is interesting. I’m growing some seeds out now and will select seedlings by evaluating under microscope for trichomes. I’ll keep selfing it and try to enhance the density and size. Basil is a hermaphroditic outbreeder that crosses easily so I normally do open pollination and keep selecting the best plants. With my indoor grow set up I’ll also start doing some purposeful crosses. I have some other plants with good coverage I’ll try to cross this one with. I’m not to sure about mutations.

@@devallanxd definitely basil. I run a basil breeding business.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil za za

@@BasicallyaboutBasil zaza

Thanks I appreciate that. Definitely agree on that. I got some seeds started and ordered a 1000X digital microscope. I am going to start selecting for the largest glandular trichomes and selfing it over the generations. I'll also try some crosses with other plants I have with large glandular trichomes.

@@graildibble thanks we appreciate it. Basil is pretty cool because there is a collection of species in the ocimum genus that can naturally hybridize with spectacular results. Hopefully with selective breeding I can further increase the density and size of those glandular trichomes. While also reducing the number and size of the hairy ones.

@BasicallyaboutBasil manipulation of environment might also be able to help produce more epigenetic changes as well. Very cool project.

Thanks so much I really appreciate it. As long as I'm breathing I'll be growing basil. Hopefully as the years go by those glandular trichomes will get bigger and bigger and I can breed down the hairy trichomes.

Thanks I appreciate. I am all about sharing everything I know about basil. Cool deal about the plants that sounds great. Seeds or clones?

@@BasicallyaboutBasil I suppose I could send some of both. We're getting some really neat Linnamon hybrids that are crossed with all sorts of things. I still have a bunch of the Linnamon seeds that I collected from the Cinnamon and Lemon dominant plants that I liked the best that were growing near all sorts of cool stuff.

@@jonmacdonald5345 I used to grow African blue but now favor our own hybrids. African blue doesn’t produce seeds but rarely and flavor is not to great. More of an ornamental.

@BasicallyaboutBasil That's Basil racist how dare you 😤 haha

@I grow basil from every continent. African blue is a sterile hybrid of ocimum kilimandaschricum and ocimum basilicum. The basil pictured in this video has a wild type of East African basil in it actually.

@BasicallyaboutBasil Nice of you for Practicing Basil inclusivity that's what's up...

Thats really cool. I've noticed Lavendar has a lot of Trichomes before to. I always thought they were a bit powdery. Pretty nifty they can be sticky to.

@@gravitybug thanks appreciate it. I’m thinking of getting a microscope and evaluating seedlings for large trichomes so I can speed up selection. I have some other seed lines with large trichomes but they are not dense. Hopefully I can get them larger and denser.

@@theblobfish9614 I’ll have to try. I have done basil kief before. Basil is known for its relaxing anti anxiety effects. Hoping to breed that stronger.

@BasicallyaboutBasil crazy😂 why not breed weed? Can you not smoke or do you just not like it?

@ I just really love basil. It would be cool to breed a new plant with potent relaxing anti anxiety effect. I used to blaze but my brain chemistry changed or something and I don’t like it much anymore. I do like cbd buds though. Basil has its own unique effect different than weed. It’s a bit mild but one reason I’m trying to breed it stronger. It’s a great muscle relaxer and making you feel calm. It actually blends well with weed. Back in my college days I would roll Js of different basil mixed with weed or dunk nugs in basil concentrate and smoke in a bowl. It made the buzz more meditative. I still enjoy a good smoke of cbd bud and my best hybrid basils mixed together.

@BasicallyaboutBasil interesting. So you have been full on into basil for quite some time i see. I mean it makes sense, it shares some of the common terpenes found in weed, which are known to influence the high

@ yeah I’ve been breeding for 10+ years. It’s a really fascinating plant with a collection of species that can hybridize leading to a immense diversity of forms and flavors. I personally enjoy it as a culinary, ornamental, and medicinal plant.

I'm going to try making some basil chicken with it once I grow enough. I think the fresh sweet citrus flavor will be really nice.

@@AllSunshines no it’s only different varieties of basil but I hope to breed it to be super dense and sticky with trichomes.

@@BasicallyaboutBasil it shows very strong characteristics of a cannabis flower. with the white pistils and frosty leaves. very interesting plant could you please upload a video.

@ the white pistils are actually hairy trichomes so a bit different than pistils. I had to prune it a bit due to white fly attack and need to wait for it to grow back but I will upload a video later.

@@sirchillalot6602 this one is an ocimum basilicum X Ocimum africanum hybrid. Which are two species of basil.

Yeah there are two types of trichomes the glandular and hairy ones. The glandular have all the goodies in them. The hairy ones are to protect from pests and regulate moisture.

Thank you very much i really appreciate it.

@@CVetteMan1111 yeah it can take your wind away. Only worthwhile for a small batch.
