It's been years since I posted a pic, just got growing again a year ago. Haven't found any reports on this cross so I decided it's time to show what I got.
Here is my lone survivor from the 6 seeds that came in my 5 pack. Strain is fem only.
The seeds I got were small and palish, not seeming fully mature to me and perhaps they weren't. Out of 6 only 1 made it above the soil. The rest seemed to crack open but couldn't get up before they rotted. I don't claim to be an expert grower but I don't think it was error on my part. I planted some ~6yr old seeds (made by a friend) at the same time, same conditions, and they popped up quickly 4/5.
All I've been doing recently is soaking overnight and then straight into a cup of dirt kept moistened lightly with a spray bottle every day or two until they come up. Worked fine for a large batch of seeds when I first started up again too.
Anyway I'm really stoked that this one made it through and grew just dandy from the get go. I think she had ~6 weeks Veg (2-3 wks in a red cup and then another couple weeks in a #2 felt pot) Transplanted her into her final home a few days before I started dialing back the lights. #5 felt pot in a recycled organic mix. I pinched the main stalk in Veg a couple times to encourage some lower shoots. I wanted to get her in with this round but I wanted some cuttings before I flipped the room. got the cuttings rooting in some Diatomaceous Earth.
I gradually reduced the light from 24 hrs down to 12 over about 6 days and she's been at 12/12 for 2 days now. Starting to show some stretch, especially on the lower shoots. Standing 18" above the soil today. Under a combo of horizontal and vertical light. She doesn't have prime real estate in the room but she gets some pretty good light, especially from the vert 600 that is nearest that long bottom shoot.
Just a dose of ACT after transplants and a little topdress of some castings so far. Any questions just ask, any pics feel free to post'em. Comments and advice much appreciated.
Let's she what she does!
