Alrighty folks! Update time. Week 14 brings good things!
My harvest still continues to dry. I have had it in a cold dry environment with fans on (~40F/35%RH). Buds are almost dry but they're at the point now where I need to put in the 10-12 hours worth of work. It's difficult around my full time job and the current babies! I will manage though.
None flowering now so I will go over the plants in veg, starting with the youngest.
First off, 12 more Quack Bastards seeds soaking right now waiting to sprout! Need to find some males and females to choose from! Kind of difficult with only 3 to choose from. I'm hoping for some really vigorous growing samples. I'm not super fond of how slow the ABC plants grow. Duckweb seems to grow at a normal speed from what I can see. Hopefully the vigor from that side took over.
Next we have the Lagkitan landrace/heirloom seedlings. Unfortunately the dome kept the humidity a bit too high and droplets formed on some of the seedlings' leaves. Most of them have some damage from light burn where there was water on them. I believe all but 2 got lucky and will continue growing without any issues now that I removed the dome. As for the 2... one of them I'm hopeful for and the other I have doubts about. It burned the two first leaves after the cotyledons so there's no place for new growth to emerge. I have faith though since the cotyledons are still green. It may start new growth there in the next couple of days if I don't mess things up too much. Anyways I found out that the odds of finding the pheno I'm looking for are basically 1 in 20 so time will tell if I get fortunate enough to find one! At this point I wouldn't mind if it's a male or female. Definitely want both but I would prefer the female to the male. At least the female I will enjoy smoking.
Anyways here they are:
Next we have the 10x Supafreak, 3x Quack Bastard, 1x Double Jam, 1x Mint X. They just got transplanted into new deeper containers where the roots can get oxygen unlike the solo cups. I believe this is why they were stunted. It's hard to say though. They aren't very green to my eyes. There's one Quack Bastard that I'm not sure what happened but I think got nutrient lockout somehow. There is some new growth that's green so I'm positive it will pull through, given time. I'm only searching for the '45 day' pheno in these Supafreaks, all males will be culled and anything that doesn't flower quickly will be discarded, unless it can knock the BerryFreak off her pedestal. Mint X will eventually be moved outside if it's female. Double Jam will be culled if it's male.
Then the Drunken Bastards. Whoever said ABC doesn't smell certainly hasn't been around these little beauties! They do have an aroma to them even without touching them. What you smell is the predominant 'weed' smell. A stem rub from most specimens reveals blueberries, very strong smell of blueberries. I don't know whether to count myself fortunate here... they began revealing sex due to their ages. Of course all of the short squat ones are female. I have 2 males. One, has been the tallest from the beginning. I named him Rocky because of his vigor. I accidently chopped off one of the cotyledons before the plant was even out of the seed, but it continued to grow into this beautiful stud of a plant. He smells like blueberries and I'm positively thrilled to think of the progeny he will make! As for the other male... it grows like traditional ABC but the leaves due seem bigger. It doesn't smell quite like blueberries so I'm not sure if it will be used for breeding or not. Once they're cloned and flowering I will be able to decide between the two. That leaves 9 females to sort through! They all seem a tad different from each other too. Maybe one will reveal itself to be male but I've seen pistils on several of them already. Fortunately, the plant with the most unique growth structure (topped itself into 3 on it's own) is female!
The special female is bottom middle. The surprising female is the one on the top right.
The 2 males are middle top and top right.
Oh! I should also mention that all of these Bastards were just topped! They have been allowed to grow naturally up until this point.
Lastly, we have the oldest and biggest plants. I thought they were nitrogen deprived but they're actually asking for bloom nutes. I will clone these and flower them once the clones are rooted and growing. Easily 3 weeks out before that happens.
It's hard to tell from the picture but the Blueberry Muffin (lower right) is so short compared to the other plants. It's also stacking really hard. The clones will be good from it I'm sure. Like the ABC it just doesn't want to seem to stretch out. From what I've seen of previous grows, it doesn't flower long enough to really stretch hard. Still a lovely plant though! Hoping it's good smoke because I will be using her as a mom to receive pollen down the road. I would like to use the fast flowering aspect as well as the terpene profile. It's also the only thing with indica really that's in my lineup.
In the coming week I will be cutting/trimming/weighing my harvest. I will try to take pictures if I remember. I will also give smoke reports out then, even though I have sampled all of the plants I grew. I will also be upgrading my 4x2 tent to be vertical, with 2 layers of plants. I'm hoping to maximize my space for large amount of plant numbers for the bonzai sultan method. The Drunken Bastard "Rocky" will likely be the first sultan. The females will include: Imperium X, Blueberry Muffin, Duckweb, and BerryFreak. I may also throw one Drunken Bastard female in there to make F4 seeds but I'm undecided on that yet.
As the seedlings get big enough to give clones I will be able to throw them in the mix too!
That's all for now!
