After my first attempt at growing over the Summer of 2021 (documented here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/110383-grow-journal-by-flaknugget), I found 5 seeds on the 3 plants I grew. I'm, not sure why I got any seeds, but I figured I would plant them this Summer and see what happens. I also have a lot of nutrients left from last year, so I'm doing this grow on the cheap, making the most of the supplies I have lying around.
I learned a lot last year. This time I'm starting a Month earlier, and keeping the seedlings indoors for the first month.
All 5 seeds I started eventually emerged, I was surprised, these seeds did better than the ones I bought in 2021. I ripped the bottoms off of the jiffy pots I started them in and moved them all to their final pots. I have four 5 gallon pots, and one 3 gallon. It is still too cold to move them outside, so I put 4 under a south-facing window, and one in the basement under a 150w LED grow lamp I had laying around. They all seem to be doing well.
I haven't bee good about keeping up my diary, so I'm backfilling here with a few shots I randomly snapped over the summer.
The overall grow has gone predictably bad, given I started with 5 mystery seeds, I gradually cut 4 of them for a variety of reasons. 2 were auto-flowering males and 2 were not auto-flowers at all. But I was left with 1 plant that has done better than the 3 plants I grew last year.
Keep your eye on plant labeled #2, that is the one that survives.

So I picked-up my grow diary again after a long summer of not giving a shit about documenting this.
After ditching 4 of the 5 plants I started with for being either male or not auto-flowers, one plant emerged as a real champion. The spot it is in does not get a ton of light, which I'm pretty sure has slowed its growth, but is doing great otherwise.
I'm hoping another 2-3 weeks and this will be done. It already exceeded the 3 plants I grow last year combined.
It's been wet, cold and humid all week, and the plant got bud rot in all the large buds. So this was a fail. I tossed everything in the compost, and hopefully things will be better next summer :(
