Here's the story-last year my son gave me a couple of seeds he found in a bag he bought,so I decided to stick them in a pot and see what happened.
Here's what I got-A very healthy looking male,and a sickly looking,genetically defective dwarf female:
Here's the Mom, 8 inches tall,flowered and seeded from the healthy male,about 2.5 months old.
(not sure why I kept her alive,but I did...):
Planted a couple of seeds from her on apx Feb. 15th,2014,this is what they looked like at about 2 months(April 20) old-pretty pathetic-not growing,and the new leaves all turned white:
SO,I topped them,(2 plants in 1 pot)removed most of the leaves,sat the pot in a corner of the yard,and pretty much forgot about them while I concentrated on my "real grow":
Well,on about June 6th,(about six weeks later)I took a look at them,and much to my surprise,I found them doing this:
And here they are on June 29th-I'm pretty amazed,considering how they started out-and it gets better-they're both females!:
They have grown about 2 inches since the last pic was taken,pretty much the healthiest looking plants I've grown so far!
So,apparently,just because they start out bad doesn't mean they're going to end up that way!!
BUT, it did take them 4.5 months to finally start doing something,but now they're doing what they're supposed to do-they're growing like weeds !
I'll keep this thread updated on their progress-I'm going to leave them both in that same pot,since they appear to be so happy there...
