Upgraded to a 3 gallon pot on day 20.
Funny thing is today was the first day i could smell it when i opened the tent up,nice smell to it.
Anyway gave it a half dose feed of liquid seamungus,raised the light and cranked the fan up a notch.
Shes on 24hrs light dont really care much for a dark period at all as i also have chillis overwintering as well.
Day 20....shes out the tent in this pic while i cleaned up.
Running dual spectrum T5s but ordered 2 more 2700k flower globes to change out with the 2 veg globes so i will be all flower globes by day 25 :)

What's seamungus? Nvm I just read up on it. (And edited this). Sounds nifty.

Dope. Is that where you over ripen? Are you only using one branch? I may do that too. Never tried.
No I'm not going to over ripen I'm just going to try using colloidal silver. I have never done it either so it will be my first try. I'll turn her into a male and then keep the pollen for the next grow where I'll grow the same thing and then polinate that. I wanted to do it with one branch but I hear it doesn't always work so since this is my first try I'm going to do the whole plant. I would deffinatley rather do one branch because then I would get seeds this time around instead of having to waste a plant haha I wish I could clone successfully because then I could just clone a branch and then polinate the same plant from the clone.

I usually burn my clones and then they don't recover. This go I got 3 clones and am weening them off humidity. Convenient too, a flowering branch got ripped off today or yesterday. This may make up for losses. I wonder if the auto trait gets lost during this what the yield may be.... Then I guess I'd just back cross with some other (hopefully) stable auto. I kinda wish there was a pollen bank lol

I can't ever get clones to root I havnt tried in over 3 years but I'm sure I still can't haha if you have clones then you can use the colloidal silver to turn the clone and then use the pollen you get from the clone to pollinate the original plant. If they are fully auto flowering then you won't lose the auto trait. Right now I just want more seeds of the same strain but later on I might try making hybrids. I have to take baby steps lol

I was considering the method where I grow out the female until it produces pollen sacks as a last effort to get seeded before death. It's supposed to be the "organic" method haha. Also, I should be wo4ried about hermied seeds from the pollen... I don't know that I'll stick it through to that point. If I harvest slowly I may be able to leave a branch to over ripen and not die

Yeah the only problem is they say some plants won't do it they just die lol but it doesn't hurt to try you won't know untill you give it a go. The only thing I never got about that method is what happens once it does? You have to leave that already over ripened branch on there for 4-6 more weeks untill the seed is viable but wouldn't it die by then?

I took it as I get fem pollen and then have to use it on another plant. So harvest the sacks and store them appropriately.

well let me know how it turns out if this doesn't work for me I'll give that a shot I'll document it here so everyone else wanting to try it can see what happens throughout this process

Ww is the two headed lady and then there's my 2 NL. Id quess ww is indica dominant and NL is sativa dominant. The bud structures have been forming different. 3-4 weeks left I'd guess before harvest starts.

A week old autos. These are for an experiment with a super soil! Fermented buried garbage refermented in the ground. This'll be my *cooking. I'll plant the autos in the ground when they're filling out 2 qt containers. They're Humboldt's OG, dedoverde haze, sour diesel, blue dream, and Bubba. Also some xxl cheese, and an orka. In the middle are the clones I got. These I just put in peat, Sandy loam, and screened compost with a bag and frequent spritzing of a spray bottle. The two in the bags aren't going to make it. They're running out of time to get their roots working.
