It's getting late in the season, and I thought I'd share some off my experiences over the past few months.
I started this season off on a complete whim, and where I've ended up is kind of unreal so far.
I randomly decided at the end of June to get back into the gardening spirit. I had been gifted several tomato plants and various other ornamental plants from a nursery...the more pots I filled,the more I wanted to plant.
I had extra soil and pots....so I called up a local and got 4 clones.
2 raskal fire og
2 blue haze
I got them into their ocean forest soil and gave them love.
Things started taking a dive rather quick...I didn't inspect the clones at all when I received them (first grow in 10 years...stupid mistake)
All four clones were infested with mites, and PM. I initially brushed it off as a bad transplant shock...no.
Score:
Both blue haze totally decimated
Both fire OG somehow I kept alive
After spraying with neem the fire og looked even worse. Burned from residual oil built up on the leaves.
This made me really upset, so I decided to dig into my stash of beans and get popping. (All my beans have come from bag seed...all from mmj clinics in SoCal.
I never labeled any of them but I'm predictable. I usually don't stray too far from OG, chem, bubba, skunk genetics( I'm not a geneticist, so don't yell at me if those fall in the same line)
So I picked out 18 of the same seeds(Visually=/) got them into damp paper towels, and waited.
15 of 18 germinated
3 of 18 molded..not sure what happened.
I carefully dropped them into 4 inch pots and set them in my window.
3 of 15 failed to "shed their shell" I used tweezers and removed the outside as carefully as possible.
2 of 3 of these died in later days....leaving me a total of 13 living healthy plants.
Before my plants showed their sex, I was nervous the fire OG wasn't doing well. Not a great start early on and worried about a shorter season in the mountains, I called up another bud and got 2 clones from him....mite free!!! He calls them java OG (sfv OG Ă— komodo male) seriously smells like fresh coffee early in the morning.
I've never considered myself a lucky person in general...but I hit the lotto with this batch.....all 13 plants turned out female!!!!!!
I'll upload pics I've taken along the way, and post them along the way.
I've already harvested the fire OG (2ounces dry) potent stuff,just airy.
Now I'm left with my bean girls and my java girls.
Pheno #1 indica Dom, short, fat main cola, frosty, semetrical branching, good branch bud development. Smells like pepper and herbs, pine undertone. 5 leaflet fan max.
Pheno#2 sativa Dom, medium height, small leaf structure, heavy yield. Smell herbs and pine.
Pheno#3 sativa Dom, tall, huge waxy green leaves, lank. Super stretchy, lemon skunk fuel scent.
Happy growing,
Derka
Some of the beans early on
Fire OG
Java OG
Pheno #1 out of all 13, she's the only one.
Pheno#3
I'll take more pictures tomorrow and post my update...all the girls are pretty big now.
