i got one seed in an eighth oz from the dispensary (in MD) last August 2021. This rooted, grew female, and gave me 10 cuttings that rooted. i got maybe a dozen seeds from the first mother plant.
the following 8 plants have put out a fuckton of seeds. the high is less than that first plant.
in the following 8 plants i think i over fertilized. my standard routine during flowering is 1 tablespoon of dry organic fert - used Agricola 4-8-4 until they don't supply/ship anymore - plus 1 oz of organic blackstrap unsulfured molasses diluted 1:1 with well water. plus 1.5 to 2 liters of water. this is per plant, twice per week. growing in 2 gal of organic re-cycled soil.
and i am thinking the molasses is the "too much" factor. it had been 6 months since i had flowered a plant and i forgot to add the molasses to that first plant until the last couple of weeks in flower.
for the following, now 8, plants i remembered the molasses and applied it religiously - i can be a bit OCD - and bingo! seeds. i may have seen one male flower so far.
C99 definitely likes water. but when it sees this much fert/molasses - i am assuming the molasses acts to enhance the brix? - the plant is so surprised and delighted, it generates some seeds to take advantage of the hospitable environment.
the 9th plant is only 4 weeks into flower so i am stopping all fert for a while and no molasses. the 10th plant is still in veg - i only top dress with worm castings in veg. and one of 12 cuttings have finally put out some roots. so i can test this theory over the coming months.
am i crazy thinking this way?
