I’ll be concise:
March 28th, I planted my seed. A *supposed* CBD-heavy auto strain.
It sprouted within 3 days. (Pic 1)
After a few days of dialling in light levels (pic 2), and setting up a cheap little humidifier (pic 3), my area had a week of storms, with multiple blackouts. No light, cold temps, (Ontario Canada), and the plant collapsed with a thin stem base. (pic 4).
I couldn’t get it to stand up, so I put it outside in the cold as I was worried about damping off and didn’t want it spreading to other indoor plants (was a total noob and paranoid)
Despite the negative temps and snow, it somehow survived, and even perked back up. Creating a sort of trench-root. (Pic 5)
I reluctantly brought it back inside and put it under a low watt CFL bulb.
Over the next 7 weeks, it continued to grow, be it in a very rigid way. (Pic 6)
Once it was consistently warm enough, I brought it outside. It looked healthy, and was about 18” tall, so I decided to take a tall cardboard box to deprive it of light and induce flower.
I ended up having to leave for a few days on business, so the light cycle went back to whatever nature was providing. I decided to just let it be.
The plant had clearly stretched a bit, and soon, I was getting 3 blade fan leaves… I’m guessing this was an accidental re-veg.
But now, nearly 6 months later, the plant looks like this (pic 7). Have done a fair bit of defoliating too, though it may not look it.
Natural day light in my area has just switched to 14/10, so outdoor flowering times have begun.
Anyone know what I should expect to happen next?
