So… 12 cuttings, 2 are toast right off the bat. 3 have rooted, 1 of which was transplanted into 3 gal pot and the two 8 day clones will stay another day in the humidity dome in veg tent (now known as Planck). My flowering tent is called Einstein (don’t judge me!) 😂 I have the vs1000 at 25% in Veg tent and sf4000 at 100% in flowering tent.
I decided that I want feminized seeds from one (2) of these ladies so I’m going to pick two clones, one to get hit with colloidal silver to make pollen sacks and the other to get pollinated. Since both clones are female they don’t have the Y chromosome so they can’t make male seeds (although you could have a herm I guess and not know it. Maybe? Dunno) When the colloidal silver disrupts the plants normal flowering process it makes the plant make pollen sacks but doesn’t change the DNA of the plant so you are only getting XX from the pollen. And the recipient plant is also XX so the resulting seeds are only female. If I’m wrong please correct me…anyone!! What if I pick two clones from same mother?! Hmmmm. Also got to be careful to not pollinate the 7 in the flowering tent (Einstein). Plastic bags over the plant? Separate tent enough? We will see…
I’m naming the clones that root after famous female scientists I admire.
The first one is Ada, after Ada Lovelace, who was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace)
The other two get named when they are transplanted.
So if we forget about the first 2 clones I murdered from the original 12, let’s pretend we started with 10…ok? Yes. We started with 10. So far of those TEN ORIGINAL clones, 8 have taken root and are reflected in the attached photos. I’m confident the other 2 have already rooted but just aren’t showing yet. So that’s pretty good I think. Now I have to decide who goes to new homes and who I keep an manipulate with chemicals to give me feminized seeds!!!! Muhahahahhahaha!!!!
8 of the original 10 clones are happily growing in dirt. The other clones still in the tray are doing well also. 3 taken from the mother plants while veg, and the other 6 while in flower. I think Barbara in the 3gal has a nitrogen problem. Claw light tips. I have the lights kind of low. Maybe they are too low to effectively help the plant utilize the nitrogen.
I topped all of them except one (Gerty) I think I'm going to take one of the cuttings in the tray, pot it in a 1 gal and through it in the flower tent to see how that goes...
Minus the 2 I manhandled right off the bat (we started with 12 but we will ignore them for the sake of statistics) 8 of the 10 clones rooted. In 9 or less days!!! Wuuuuuuut?!
