Dr. Mantis Toboggan's Perpetual Tent of Wonder, Dreams, Highs, Lows, Enemies, Friends, and Maybe - Just Maybe - Even You

Of course!

PM me if you need anything.

I don't know everything but I can make anything up on the spot!

It's a sign!

I was going on an evening walk, and wouldn't you know it, I chanced upon a little guy:

My guess is that this is a feral NLH left over from the Navy's encouraging farmers to grow cannabis for cordage during WWII.

I'll be starting my grow in a couple of days! Don't know if you can tell, but I'm pretty stoked.

This one looks like it's worth taking cuttings from and growing out! Nice looking leaves

Maybe, but I'm hesitant to risk introducing pests into my tent. It also may have had some intersex traits. I agree the leaves are pretty!

Aaaaaand we're legal! 1 ACE's feminized Panama and 1 DJ Short's Blueberry F5 seeds are in dirt. I'll be picking up 2 clones that are reserved for me later today, and will share details on them as well as pictures.

All of my formatting options for posting are greyed out. Anyone had this issue before?

As a note to self, I watered with molasses water yesterday.

A little show and tell:

First, we've got MN Tangie. This is a local cannabis company's most-popular type III strain, which Oompa Loompa #3 x Very Berry. The company's owner said that it tested at 24% CBD, 0.7% THC, and also had an appreciable amount of CBC. It's predominantly a citrusy terpene profile.

Next is GG #4, which he said is a bagseed.

And here are the friends together under the Super Fancy Humidity Hood 5000.

Both were treated for pests before my getting them, as received probiotic spray.

I'm stoked!!!!

Note to self: Molasses-watered the 1 gallon containers today.

 

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

It's.... ALIVE!! Both seeds are above the soil. I've yelled at them to grow faster, but it hasn't been working. Anyone have other ideas?

Panama:

Blueberry:

I also watered both clones a lil.

 

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

I'm noticing the leaves getting lighter on 1 of the clones, so I raised the light to maybe about 20 in instead of 15 in.

Maybe showering them with love and appreciation

All the best to you and your plants!
Have a great weekend

Thanks for the advice and check-in. Maybe I'll heed it!

A couple of concerns today:

1. The GG #4 is now clawing on top of getting lighter in color. My diagnosis is too much light intensity, and I would love feedback. The curious part is that it is not impacting the MN Tangie. To combat this, I've raised the light some more. GG #4 on the left and MN Tangie on the right:

2. The Panama hasn't done much since popping through the soil:

It appears to still be alive, but there's not much else to say. Compare that to the Blueberry, which was planted on the same day:

When would you give up and plant another seed?

Being that I raised the light again, I've moved the clip fan to under the light and decreased the power.

I'm also thinking about transplanting the clones this week. Thoughts on this?

I also gave everything some water.

 

[Hasch]

I would give it another day or two.
In my experience some slow weak seedlings have turned into thriving plants.

But hey, it's your party. If you feel like it, kill the poor bugger

All deserve a right to live! I'll give it time.

Worst case scenario you can test remedies to see what works kill it naturally

Ha! I like your style.

Am i just high or does the Panama seed pop still have the seed membrane attached? I would think the cotyledons would have spread open already but it looks like there stuck together.

Try to see if you can spot a clear membrane trapping the cotyledons together when you look close up. If you see one, try to give it like one spritz of water with a spray bottle and gently drag the membrane up over the cotyledons. Look up helmet heads- happens to plenty of seeds, sometimes even with the membrane if the seed coat is not visible.

Otherwise no idea lol be patient

Thanks for the feedback. It doesn't look like there's a membrane on it - I was able to open the codyledons without issue.

I will (begrudgingly) take the patience route.

Transplanted the GG #4:

And I'm not holding my breath, but the Panama is looking different, and I think I see a true leaf peaking out:

 

[Hasch]

Uh, seems like she is struggling.

Clock is ticking...

Struggling? Yes. But there's definitely growth happening:
