You could try several things to see if you can preserve this one:Reality sucks! I Love Getting Money got mine.
I have a few good plants going now from Barneys Farm that look good so far. Not like the 4x mag. pictures under purple lights looked, but decent. I screw the plants up too so I'm not too hard on any breeder. When you get a tent full of mutants and hermies you change your breeder. Multiverse Beans is not a breeder, but they carry a bunch of breeder's stuff. The payment and shipping is easy and fast. I'm trying out Mephisto, Ethos and Gnome Automatics. they sent me freebies from Ace seeds and Errors. The Errors seed pack was labeled "Fruit" Auto Female. that's it. No description or fancy wine bottle label paragraph telling me how I will feel. No expectations, no let down. unless it smokes bad.
yea man Good Luck in your search.
I grew two out of eight bag seeds last summer from a 35mm film container of seeds from 1990 something. I know I got them from a delivery service in NYC. Sour Diesel? I don't remember too many names back then. Maui wowwie I thought was only in the movies. My older brother had Acapulco Gold when I stole some from him. He thought mom found it. Anyway the delivery service in NYC offered to "pay you in weed if you return a seed". I kept them. Grew them, harvested them too soon and it was good smoke. Kind and skunky but now gone forever.View attachment 5266150That's one of them. The weather was going to be drizzle and in the low 40's for the next few days when I chopped them. I should have just brought them inside if I could get them through the door. Now that I know a little more about breeding, I could shoot myself for even planting them without knowing how to preserve the genetics. I think it went about two more weeks after this picture was taken.
First, I would recommend taking a cutting from the top if you can and try to Clone or get roots on the cutting using an aeroponic cloner.
Second, though i have no experience with this method, you could try a reversal of the plant after harvesting the buds, but keeping the plant alive, by placing in a tent with 18 hour light to force the photoperiod genetics back into Vegetative state.
I have been having about 80-90 percent success rate with Method 1 over a period of about 5 years using a CloneKing style aeroponic cloner (25 count).
Hope this helps.
