After a nearly three month break and a deep, deep clean of the grow room, it’s time to fire up the lights and get back at it!
As the title states, this grow will primarily be a hunt for the perfect pheno of the Lemon Paki cut that Doc Bud acquired many years ago. The genetics remain unknown, but it has become a favorite of all who have tried it over the years.
When Doc moved to Uruguay he obviously wasn’t able to take the LP with him as it was “clone only”. As a way of thanking him for his encouragement and support on how to grow cannabis over the years, and for sharing the LP (flower and cuttings), I had the thought of trying to reverse the clone-only cut and presenting him with seeds to continue the strain in the So. Hemisphere. With his approval and a little Colloidal Silver, I was able to reverse a plant into a beautiful male specimen. He/she was a stud (see below) and produced hundreds of seeds. Doc was able to get the seeds to Uruguay and has grown a couple with plans to do a larger grow this fall (his spring) and will journal the grow.
The larger the number of plants run, the better the hunt for the perfect plant. However, given my grow space, along with the monitoring, documenting, juggling of cuttings/clones, etc. I’ll limit the number of plants to 12 or so. I will soak/germinate double the seeds needed to look for ones that germinate quickly have the longest/strongest tails, etc. and plant those in 1-gallon pots. The goal is to identify 3 or 4 finalists from which I will select a couple to reverse and make new S2 seeds.
First, some background:
I hope you’ll follow along!
