G.S.C. Root Ball monitoring

sugar_leaf_daddy a growmie friend of mine had a plant turning hermaphrodite and a good chunk of his plants started giving seeds toward the end of the flowering stage. Harvest was pretty decent; however, several buds had seeds in them. Of all the seeds collected after harvest, he gave me one to play with and I decided to cut a plastic pot in half, add a sheet of glass and start monitoring the root ball development :-) I'm using black cardboard onto the glass to screen direct light hitting roots, I remove it briefly to take photos. 22/05/2022 seed in water for 48hours 24/05/2022 seed with taproot into medium 25/05/2022 already sprouting out! 29/05/2022 GSC at 3cm and roots are quite visible...

sugar_leaf_daddy Not as tall as I'd like her to be but, hey... That's the price for experimenting with a standard pot (very little aeration of the soil/medium), cut it in half, putting a sheet of glass and monitor the root development... by the end of next week I should be starting some LST... let's see what happens 😜

sugar_leaf_daddy probably a bit of overwatering here given the short size. I'll hold back for few days and see what happens. this is still an experiment so I'm not expecting a record crop 😎

sugar_leaf_daddy roots keep developing but I guess the not so ideal conditions are starting to stress the plant a tad too much. Already showing early flowering developments, short but sturdy. this is totally a fun project with no expectations on yield... why not?😁

sugar_leaf_daddy so pretty 😍 and so cute and... so small!!!! obviously this girl didn't like this prolonged stress... this less than ideal environment just for the sake of monitoring the roots development has been a interesting project nonetheless 😎
