So, April 1st I dropped a MedGom and a PennyWise seed in water with a few drops of h2o2, both autos for my niece. On April 3rd, the MedGom had a tail and the PennyWise was cracked. Mixed up some ProMix with a light mix of nute water and planted in little plastic pots. Tagged them and carried them down in the seedling tray, ready to put them on the heating pad under the T5 light. Typical clutz tat I can be, as I put the tray down, I bumped it and the PW fell over and spilled dirt out. Now, not having much light, the ProMix being the same colour as the tailless seed, I scooped everything back up and in the container. I was pissed! No idea if the seed fell out and still in the tray, or if I buried it too deep. Can’t see shit unless I am wearing distance-specific glasses in good light. I put the little starters in some small pots so they wouldn’t fall again. Lesson learned!
Anyways went to look yesterday (the 6th) and BOTH seeds sprouted! We have life! Here’s the MedGom, a high CBD plant.
And the PennyWise.
I had taken the clones out from under the dome so I could use it for the 2 seeds (as well as some of the wife’s flowers for outside). Don’t think they like the brighter light and less humidity. Some (ok, many!) look like they suffered and who knows if they will survive or not. They’re clinging to life, several do have new growth showing, but I’ll probably lose half of them. Which is ok! I planted another 8 cuttings, they seem to be doing better, but of the 20 in there, I only really need 7 as gifts, none are for me. Which means if none survive, doesn’t affect me either! Love this no stress, don’t-give-a-shit grow!
These are the newest cuttings that I planted. All are Death Bubba, and 5 sight make it.
Here lies 6 more Death Bubba clones, maybe 1 or 2 will live.
And then 6 more Dutch Treat clones. Maybe 3 survivors there.
Only time will tell how many make it.
I also flipped the tent light to 12/12 on April 1st. So here they are after almost a week. Nine plants in a 4x4 in 3 gallon pots. Pretty tight!
Here is a Death Bubba top
And a Dutch Treat top.
Starting the transition and the stretch, hoping they don’t get too much taller, altho I do have a lot of room to raise the light.
The new cellar dwellers are under 18/6 light. The clones will be gifted early May when it is warm enough for outside growing. If more than 7 survive, I’ll keep them with the 2 autos. Once the tent is finished flower in June, I’ll bring up the 2 autos and run them 20/4 until they are done. Anything over the 7 gifts will stay in the cellar and get flipped to 12/12 early June. That might mean the autos might go 12/12 for a couple of weeks until the tent is freed up.
I think I really need to keep to my legal limit this fall when I start up again! Messing around with a full tent and clones and autos makes this seem more like a job rather than a hobby! Guess we’ll see how that works out lol!
