Home Improvised Polyploid Induction HIPI

Flowering week 5, no fascination on treated plant. I am disappointed. On the other hand, this plant stinks to high heaven. Ttrichome is oozing with oil. Buds are fattening up quickly. However, there had been hot rain this week. Humidity runs into 90+% in the nigh. And I think I would give her only one or two more weeks to go and harvest her early. Flower this sticky is unlikely to survive mold in this hot and humid climate. Mite does not bother her so much. I don’t think they can even walk through the sticky buds. The soil was “no till” old soil from previous grow. And it shrunk a little. So I added some earth worm casting and a bit of guano on the top. A couple of days later, Golosa showed tip burns. She does not take fertilizers too well. The most important thing about Golsosa with polyploid treatment is the strong stench. It is skunky and peppery. The untreated plant smell strong but not as badly as the treated plant. Only one plant should be grown at a time as it makes the neighborhood block smell bad. Normal Golosa is doing okay. The flower is dense but not as crazy as the polyploid version. The Golosa clone took root easily enough. Three out of four survived. And the one that did not was from my rough handling that snapped and folded the twig. Poor thing. I am keeping two clones. These clones will be my mother plants. And the clones were put in with companion plants. One is with flowering purslane from old grow. And another is with newly planted sea purslane twigs. Clones are still weak with mite attack. I am only monitoring the mite and won’t do anything unless I I think mite would kill the plants. I think avoiding bug control measures will let natural predators do their things. Breeding project was terminated. After six weeks, male flowers are not blooming. Roots looks dead. Oh well. I have two plants that almost died from over feeding. Recovered plants are doing okay. I took some more cuttings from a recovered version that was also treated with colchicine. After a week, none of cutting survived. Seemed that polyploid treatment make Golosa more difficult to clone. Outside of the house, a cheeky whip snake visited my fence. Bugs swam my fence light early in the evening. Lizards and gecko feast on the bugs. And snake came for the lizards. Thailand had removed cannabis off illegal drug list. In general, home grown weed for own use is okay. Yeah. So, my plants can send out advertising smell and I won’t have to worry about getting shake down from the cops. However, there will be more red tape, tax, and fee for cannabis business.
