Home Improvised Polyploid Induction HIPI

Mixed in too much earth worm casting in the soil and killed two plants. Also, I think the sack of earth worm casting was contaminated with cow manure. The mix would be good enough for mid to heavy feeder. And I think Golosa feeds very lightly. Last couple of weeks, I have been just watering them. However, I did not flush. Did not feel good about the root so I am just letting the girls ride out the over feeding. Two untreated plants survived. And the sativa pronounced phenotype died. One is in an orchid clay pot. And another is in plastic 2-gallons fern pot. Also, two treated plants survived. The best performing plant was T3. This happened because she was the weakest and was not transplanted with the rest of the brood. Her mix has lighter dose of earth worm casting. She is still slow. In the back ground, there are White Critical plants. These are quite ready to go into flower. They are just waiting for slots in the flowering spots. My plan is to let Golosa grows for a couple more months. And I’ll use plant T3 as a mother for seed breeding experiment. For “father”, I’ll ferminize White Critical indica plant. This one feeds well. Perhaps I can get good feeding Indica out of the mix. On the other hand, mixing in THCV might be interesting. If I can do only one, what do you think would be better? Untreated plants were happy. On the other hand, colchicine treated Golosa plants have major issue with transplant. And one may not survive. Colchicine treated Golosa. Treated plants were growing okay. But they do not react well to pot size change. Even when root are full, they slump a bit. Treated plant1 hardly has any root. And she may not survive. Treated plant 2 has full root that looks the same as untreated. May be polyploid treatment did not work on her. I’ll check and take some pic during the next pot change. The smallest plant recovered from colchicine treatment. She still has some growing to catch up to. And I have not transplanted her. Most likely, I shall change pot next week. Untreated Golosa, Phenotypes are more pronounced. Dark green leaf also have wider leaves and is shorted than light green leaves phenotype. At the end of week 3, they are nearly ready to go outside for the next pot change.
