"The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queen"

welcome fellow cannabis enthusiasts, this diary will follow the journey of a clone from humble beginnings to the founding of an empire on to her abdication of the throne to fulfill her destiny under the open sky. in a previous diary i documented a run of 9 "Undercaker" seeds from Dark Horse Genetics, from which 18 clones were taken before flowering, culled to 4 clones kept (2 from each female) of which only this clone remaining from the #2 phenotype which i referred to as the "og type" early on in flower because of its strong og smell, one of those plants that make you realize how necessary carbon filters can be, loud and proud. i only got the chance to flush them for a week before i chopped them down, ideally another week would have finished them off beautifully, this particular pheno had only begun to fade...alas life makes demands of you and the trichomes were completely milky so it turned out sufficient but i feel like i left something on the field as it were. in spite of setbacks personally i feel like the old man and the sea, in that although surrounded by a treacherous ocean i managed to "catch" a keeper which survived the journey back to the "shore" with me, a 9 week odyssey from cutting to starting vegetation. she was in a sort of "stasis" after rooting under some weak fluorescents merely surviving but after putting her in her "throne room" she has already doubled in size chugging 600ppm/6.5ph masterblend solution at a rate of 1.5-2 liters daily with 4-6 light foliar sprays of sensi calmagxtra throughout the day under 24hrs of 25% light, i have a few autos paying court to her which will only be around for 2 weeks to get established after which ill increase the lights and go to 18:6 light cycle...but i will post every monday with updates. thanks for checking out this grow! edit: a little explanation of the diarama being displayed and "what's in the pot?", i don't think i've yet to post anything about the medium, i like to put a layer (1") of hydroton on the bottom of the pots then fill them with recycled potting soil which has been through around 7 grows of rootballs such that the "soil" is 90% decomposing roots 10% filler materials (hydroton, perlite, mulch) which i will hydrate once and top off with a final light misting just to wet the top layer without causing more "settling" then another 1/2" layer of hydroton forming like a hydroton sandwich that i've found fairly efficient at moisture regulation and root propagation. the scene here is of a primeval nativity being fostered on an island of recent volcanic creation by the buddha of prosperity and abundance who was drawn in by the promise of a shady retreat, also present following the buddha is the great serpent seeking to turn his machinations towards the benefit of mankind who frolic and dance beneath the expanding boughs.
