Well, I wasn't planning on starting any new grows until mid Fall or Winter to get them ready for outside planting next year, but the day after Cratchet, Wonder Dog, and Marvin were sadly purged from the pen, my neighbor gave me a cutting he made from a Bitter Sweet Pie that he got at a seed expo or something recently.
Since I never like to turn down a nice gift freely offered, I took her in (he says these are almost always female) and stuck her down in the basement grow room that hadn't been used for anything but storage for about 3 years now I think.
Since I like to name my plants (partly for organization purposes, but mostly because I love naming and tend to anthropomorphize things even if they don't like it), I am dubbing this one Pixie Pie. This happened back on the 15th. Not sure if her roots have formed yet or not. We have just been keeping her in the veg room under 24 hour lighting with one of the 35w LED grow lamps bought on Amazon back in 2016, and a nice white light that I think may also be LED actually. We will replace the white light with the other 35w grow light soon, and put her on an 18/6 schedule once I remember how to set the timer.
Sadly, we had an instant aphid problem (neighbor is aware of it and is working on getting rid of them). She has had one dose of neem oil. Next will be a spraying down of her and the soil with soapy water, followed by another dose of neem oil. And once the aphid problem is solved, then I am going to get a couple of my Ravenplume Wildling 2019 seeds going and then nurtured down here as well. I figure may as well make better use of the facility than on just a single clone. Right?
Here is the BitChute video that mostly repeats what I just posted...
Haven't put it on YouTube yet, so no embedding. Perhaps someone here can sweet talk the powers that be into adding BitChute to the approved video sites list for embedding?
With this grow, my primary objectives are to get her rooted, get her into a nice healthy veg state, and take cuttings for further work, then raise her to full flowering with enough smokable herb to help tide over until next year's outdoor yield, since I have had my top performers this year end up being male. I also hope to have this accomplished by perhaps end of December? Is that reasonable for an indoor grow being started this late in the year? Otherwise, what is the expected time frame from rooting (or seedling) to buds and seeds when growing indoors?
