I did not take very good photos this week. I have been busy. Better pictures next time.
All of the mothers got trimmed down to miniature bonsai size and clones were started from all of the trimmings so I have at least two clones going from each of the plants. I even stuck some rooting gel on the cut ends before sticking them into the cup of water. Hopefully this will give them a good kick-start for rooting. It's been almost 4 months since I popped these seeds and I've done a lot of work with very little to show for it!
At least now I know that I have two female plants at a minimum. I am shocked that both of the Flo plants have shown female preflowers this week! There is no doubt about it, they are both very much femal. The Rainbow Serpent, on the other hand, has been much slower to show preflowers at all so I am trying to will them to sprout some pistils though the odds of all three turning out female are slim. But it could happen! Send me good vibes for the RS to come out female! I'd rather have had one of the Flo plants turn out male and had one female RS and one female Flo. But we can't always get what we want.
Now the mothers can recover and I wait for the clones to take root. Better pics next time!
I wouldn't be sure whether a plant was male or female until putting it in flowering light cycle for a few weeks. I recently grew DJ shorts Blueberry F5 and Blue V2, which I was able to re-veg, but the two big Blueberry F5s have not come back and I am about to call them and replant, but they did produce hundreds, maybe thousands of seeds crossed with the male Blueberry F5 I grew out and then shook all over them. It's amazing how little flower you get when the plant makes seeds. But now I have enough seeds from my initial pack to grow out 50 at a time and pheno hunt for the most blueberry I can find. Gonna put them in solo cups and re-veg them after a handful of weeks in flower, and transplant to 5/7 gal pots with a fresh JMS (JADAM Microorganism Solution) to help ease the transplant and boost root growth.
Your bonsai trees look cool. I'd wanna be sure before I chop any. You could stick it in a little cardboard box with a light hanging above it on a 11on/13 off timer and you should know for sure a few weeks later
