Just finishing week 2 of 12/12. I know some people don't like pruning but I took the scissors to both plants . With weak CFL globes I need all the light penetration I can get. Anyway, the girls are starting to show some potential now. There are obvious signs of trichomes especially on the #1 Sativa type plant. I've also replaced the faulty globe with another warm white. As the bag seed I've grown from was most likely hermie, I've noticed a couple of male pods. Most would be disappointed but I'm excited. I started this grow hoping to produce a few seeds too. #1 Sativa plant has just the one male pod, #2 and #4 have a couple each. #3 Plant has none. The pods are growing where preflowers would be and there are none actually throughout the main flowers. I will attempt to pick them just before they open so I can crossbreed amongst the different strains. #4 Plant seems like it might be a dynamite smoke as it smells fantastic. Pollinating #4 with itself, #1 and #3 will be the main priority.
Surprisingly, the one and only clone I took from the #3 plant that I gave no light, ignored and abused has actually rooted. At one point I actually kicked it over and it came out of the medium! This was 7 days after cutting and it seemed to have stem rot and no sign of roots. I gently jiggled it out of the perlite at 14 days and noticed strong fluffy white roots! So I've now transplanted it into a bigger pot and rigged up a dodgy low maintenance hydro setup for it. I think I will get that 23watt 6500K light onto it.
So I can safely say at this point (with tongue in cheek) that I've had 100% success rate with cloning
The first pic is of #1 plant showing trichomes.
The next 3 are various shots of #3 plant.
The last pic is of both but you can't see the main tip of #1 plant.
