This is not the best or biggest of grows but does have a interesting story behind it. I will not go in to all the details just the basics. Here we go...
I at one point had a nice collection of wonderful plants something very bad happened and I lost everything except for a few elite cuts held by a very good friend and a small box with a hand full of seeds. I will cut the fat out of the story at this point... three and a half years later I get my little box back and not thinking any of my babies would really be able to germ, I could not just toss them without trying so I gave the little one a chance. Three days later a little white root shown forth. I planted here in a quick made organic mix and off she went.
I did not yet have any lights and was not in a place were I felt comfortable with a grow set up so I placed the little one in a pot and with only a window for light the grow kicked off. At the third node the poor little thing stopped growing. Nothing came out and the last set of leaves were slightly deformed I felt bad for the little one and gave it a much love as I could three weeks passed with no sings of growth but it lived on. Then a small little off centered shoot started to show. After the next set of leaves it grew as a normal cannabis plant should.
To my utter amazement the little die hard turned out to be a female. I flowered her for 36 days then I had to cut her down. I almost shed a tear and still feel sore about the whole thing but at the time I had no other option. I will post her pictures in hope that some one else will understand how much she wanted to live, and the pure beauty of her.
