Well, quick pic-less update.
Everything is doing great, for the most part. I have a few more hermies that have popped up, which may or may not be light stress related: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/297588-enough-light-stress-cause-hermie.html
I was going to try and breed with the PK hermie pollen like I said before, but after doing some reading I am leaning strongly against it. I'd rather just keep it around, its a hermie yeah...but it still puts out a lot of nice nugs that smell/taste wonderful, with a high potency to boot. Next time I go to the grow I'll snag some good shots of it, getting very pretty now. I just got off the phone and it has indeed caught up to the other plants (it used to be the runt of the litter).
Maybe I can find a way to backcross it with something similar and get rid of the hermie traits someday, then select progeny that have the closest resemblance to the original PK's and inbreed them. IDK. Time will tell on that one. Anyone with breeding experience care to interject on that point I am all ears.
The rest of the garden looks great. Not much to say really on that end. I'd rather let pics do the talking (when I get em of course) because they do such a better job than I ever could.
I took a handful of clones at about day #24 or so of Flower from a # of plants. Today is day #32 of 12/12, and already transplanted 5 of them from the tray into cups. More have roots, but I am going to give them another day or so to establish better systems before transplanting. So, 8 days from being cut and I have roots from flowering clones.
All I did was cut them, drop em in water for about 5 minutes...dip the end in Ez-Clone gel before I scraped the outer skin off (avoid embolism) of about an inch or so of stem to expose the cambium, split the stem, dipped in more gel and slid them into Rapid Rooters. Set the dome in a rubbermaid tote tub and put them on a 18/6 light cycle under fluoros. Nothing special really.
Anyway, I'll fill you in more later. Right now I am out of meds and need to run to the club.
