This plant was hateful. Root problems in early veg, stunted growth, early flower, botrytis in flower (partially my fault, I really stopped giving a damn since the whole point was a personal experiment to produce seeds. I'd say 20% of them are as dark as I would hope for, the rest being greenish or tannish. I'm shutting the tent down for the summer, but I'll come back with germ rates when I test. Since this thing was so unlucky I might actually grow out a few of them to give it a fair shake.
What I learned:
- You do not need much STS. I could have used much, MUCH less and ended up with more seeds. Two localized applications is probably enough.
- Harvesting pollen is tedious, particularly when you time it to be the same time as pollen season and your sinuses are already displeased
- Hydrogen peroxide needs to come in gallons
- Don't end up with just one seed of something, else you have to do science experiments to keep it
- Get more aggressive with the trimming. I was afraid to do much to an auto since this was my first one and it already had problems, and it led to bud rot. To be fair, this did not happen until well after I already would have harvested a normal grow.
