Hey y'all. I was holding off on starting up a journal for this garden because I didn't think I would want to flower them out so soon, but I'm a moody sonuvabitch and change my mind a lot. Here's the back story...
I recently came across a tupperware container of unlabeled seeds that I basically remembered nothing about. I instantly had a flashback to the moment when I put the seeds in the container, and vaguely remembered something about these seeds being of a presumed lesser-quality than something else of similar or identical genetics that I had already made seeds from. But since the seeds existed, I kept them anyway. I didn't bother putting them in cold storage with dessicant, but I figured I'd keep them around.
That's literally all I could remember. I couldn't remember which plants they came from, although I had my suspicions. I initially narrowed it down to either a Northern Skunk F2 (or selfie), or a BC Kush x Northern Lights F2. Anyway, I figured I'd go ahead and see if they pop, so I threw some on some damp paper towels, put them in a tupperware container, and put them in a warm place. Lo and behold, all of them popped, and I put them in starter plugs under some LEDs.
All of them grew vigorously right from the start, and I could instantly see some phenotype differences among them all, which heavily suggested that these were in fact K x NL of some sort... but having grown out a bunch of other F2 seeds that I made with a selected mother and father, these were NOT appearing the same way. In the planned F2 grow-out, I noticed that there was quite a bit of variation among phenotypes. In this grow, they were practically all homogenous! Out of 15 plants, 4 of them were a very familiar pheno that I recall from the original K x NL F1s, but the remaining 11 were so identical that they were practically clones of each other.
Long story short, I am so impressed with how homogenous they are that I'm going to go ahead and flower them out right now. I removed the two [barely] weakest looking plants to bring the plant count down to 9, and have dedicated the LED tent to them. Today is day 1 of 12/12.
