Hello there 6er's. Here is an update on my Speed Devil #2. First pic is from 9/28.
After that pic was taken I encountered a problem I had yet to face with cfl growing. That problem was weight. This lady is top heavy, and the next day I discovered her bent down, all the way down, top almost to the floor. Thankfully the stalk did not snap and I had to improvise a device to keep her upright. Unfortunately, all I had available was 3/4 inch pvc which although it did the job, I'm sure I busted some roots as I jabbed it in the soil for support. I'm thinking root damage due to the next day most of the small side branch leaves were yellowing and falling off. Now I have some bamboo stakes and she seems to still be alive after a week, so I shall wipe the sweat from my brow as I seem to have avoided most certain doom. My only concern as of now is the fact that she seemed to pollinate herself, mostly the lower branches, which is fine as they were to small to get any actual bud from. I did find two seeds in the cola, along with about 1 seed per nugget in 3 of the side nuggets. Not looking forward to finding out what may be where my eyes can't see. I did pull some pre-male flowers off the top, and found an open male flower who seems to be the culprit who bukkaked the buds. Damn teenage pregnancies...
