Hello growers!
I have long been a Cannabis consumer (15+ years) and dabbled quite a bit with post processing for several years. I have finally decided to start off with a budget grow... my primary goal is to pick out strong females with good genetics. I am working with a North African landrace cultivar (Moses' burning bush) that could have some (although not too much) foreign influence due to recent importation of foreign cultivars where I live. Due to heavy penalties for cannabis related importation, I went on a trip to the mountains and collected two sets of bag seeds from cultivars that I enjoyed. I was able to germinate 12 plants in soil which were then transplanted into a DWC 140 liter plastic tub with 12 holes on the lid. My goals are as follows
1) Vegetate for 6 weeks at a 24/0 light schedule
2) Take two clones from each plant and begin the rooting process
3) Begin flowering on the 12 plants to determine sex
4) Kill off all the males and/or hermies and their rooting clones
5) Examine remaining plants under magnifying glass for signs of nanners
6) Harvest/Kill any plants that show nanners along with their clones
7) Veg female clones that remained after the filtering
8) Take clone from each plant before flowering
9) During flowering cycle apply extreme stress to the now flowering clones by irregular photo period, unstable temperature and fluctuating humidity
10) Observe plants for signs of hermaphrodites or bisexual flowers
11) Filter out the plants that flip and leave only the true females that withstand the added stress without growing male flowers or stamens
12) Take the strong rooted female clones and only grow them from here on out
I would love to hear your opinion on this strategy...
back to the title of this post... The image that you see attached is my least healthy seedling... does it look OK? if not how can I proceed from here?
Thanks
