Germinated after 4 days - all 10 regular photoperiod seeds popped. 1 plant heavily deformed so discarded. Planted out the remaining 9 into 6l tall pots. Hardening them off in dappled sun then they'll go into the greenhouse for a month. End Jan I'll put them in my tent to flower and I'll discard the males.

A week after planting out, the seedlings are enjoying their outdoor experience. As I'm using 10 regular photoperiod seeds, I'm vegging them outdoors while I wait for my tent to empty (see my Gorilla Glue 4 grow diary). I'll put them inside in 10days to finish their run under controlled conditions as our natural light cycles are diminishing

It's taken a while to rehab these plants. I left them outside to enjoy the African sun and they took a little strain over the past 3 weeks. I've had them in my tent for a week now. I did some LST by topping and bending them. Will grow them for about another 4 weeks in the tent, then take them to the greenhouse to flip into flower. I used my 10 regular seeds and will cull the males.

Started this grow with 10regular seeds, now 2 weeks after flipping, I'm down to 4 ladies. Increased the PPFD to 850 on a 8 on / 16 off cycle that's working really well.

I start d the grow with 10 regular photoperiod seeds of Midnight Oil from a local South African breeder. Only 4 were female which is why I started my scrogging late. Now I've noticed two phenos - A purple one and a white one. Very cool. Cannot wait to see if there's a difference in the end product
