Hidey ho! everyone!
After three attempts at a successful grow over the three years since it became legal to do this in Oregon, I think I am on the verge of a major success. The first two years, we just fumbled our way through with strictly indoor grows from old seeds (ones my little brother had saved back in the late 90s and early 2000s.) The first year, and the first one, the plant started off good, but we got careless and neglected it too frequently once it went downstairs to the grow room. Ultimately, it was given up for dead. But a year later, we remembered it, and discovered it had at least budded a little during that time, and I think we were able to salvage 1/10 of an ounce off it. It wasn't anything memorable, but I still had to give it a name, Necro; despite that being the only Necro that will have ever existed.
Next one was doing well as well, until we had a freak cold spell, and she went herm. Game over, man.
Finally, we have here what was the last surviving seed of the batch, and during its growth and development, it had taken some abuse; like being dropped once, going almost too long between a couple waterings; and the most recent was the huge wind and rain storm that thrashed her all over mere hours after she was planted outside back on 20-JUN.
So anyway, here is how she looked minutes before being planted, and right after...
And now, as of a couple days ago...
I'm only hoping now that we didn't wait too long to plant, because it would be sad to see this beauty fail.
Also made cuttings of course; because with how old the seed was, and what the plant has been through, it seems like it has some good hardiness genes that need preserved.
So, now that we have had the Fall Equinox, and where I am at; just a stoner's throw away from the 45th Parallel at
W117 50, N44 47; we will be having our first 12 hours of straight dark on the 25th (11:59) or 26th (12:02), so I am guessing one of those days is when whatever the next phase is supposed to be, correct?
I thought the next phase was flowering, but it seems she is already doing that. Or am I misunderstanding the start of flowering?
Let's see if a close up can show where we are at right now...
Is she flowering already, or is this just a prelude to flowering? And after flowering starts, how long until budding?
Anyway, that's all I have for now. I know I am going to have a lot more questions and ideas to bounce about here later. But for now, time to smoke a bowl and do some random YouTubin' before sleep.
