So far I've had two plants pop out from the 8 seeds I threw in the soil (2-30 gallon pots). A ninth seed was germinated later in the season. These are seeds I obtained from the Grease Monkey OG clone I grew last year. I don't mind getting a few seeds from the bees pollinating my plants. I can't say how good that strain is; I recommend it to everyone. I'm happy to have some cross-pollinated offspring. The soil is mostly FFOF, Happy Frog, Roots Organics, some worm castings, worms and whatever has been living in the soil. I recycle my soil and just add more stuff when necessary. I'll try and keep updates this season.
No changes on my end. Watering about 2 gallons every other day for each plant...about 1 gallon a day for each. Most of it gets sucked up by the substrate and some grass+clover that's also starting to grow. It's early in the year an neither P1 or P2 have sexed. I also have a side project that I show on the videos, but am not keeping a diary for that one. Will be adding worm castings and some more soil topper next week. Possibly will add some kelp meal if I remember. Weather has been cooperating nicely. At one point in the past two weeks it was raining every other day. It's cleared up in the last few days.
Continuing with just watering so far. I skipped on adding amendments this week. I will keep the diary updated when it happens. I noticed that the plants are finally big enough so that they don't fall over when watered. I feel like this indicates the roots are finally latching on to the soil. I also pulled the 2nd plant in a little bit since the leaves were beginning to touch the sides (Ridiculously low stress training IMO). Still no sign of male/female, but I'm starting to get hopeful :-).
Have been watering every other day. Days have been cloudy, but not wet. Plants are growing well, but I think I have 2 males on my hand. Waiting to verify.
I have reduced watering this week and last week also. There have been several cloudy days which typically require less watering.
Side note: I updated the strain information. Technically - the bees and other insects are the breeders, but I'll take the credit. The strain name is derived from the location the mother plant was grown (Watts) and the strain of the clone the seeds came from (Grease Monkey OG) --Watts Grease Monkey OG.
P1, P2 are male plants. Cut. P3 growing now in the same pot as P2- similar location. P3 Is the third seed germinated and sprouted from the same seed batch. Watts Grease Monkey OG.
The grow is going well, but I got two males from the first set of seeds. More seeds were available so I grew one more. Normally I grow seeds I collect from the prior season, but this year I am inspired to grow seeds from a known breeder also. They are still regular seeds. My grow is for personal use so I don't have to worry about landing a female seed every time. I simply throw enough seeds to guarantee at least one female for the outdoor season.
This is the third successful seed germination from the batch. All seeds from same mother plant in this diary.
Watering lightly. Large container is a bit more forgiving.
This last week has seen a boost in growth. I think it's a combo of full moon and solstice. I'm a strong believer that the moon phases strongly affect growth patterns. I started pulling the plant back a little with the intent of some minor LST. Not sure what the end game is, I usually just pull Indicas northwardly as close to a 30 degree angle as possible and then let them do their thing. I defoliate the bottom of the plant at some point because humidity is a real big issue towards the end of the season and this is one of the few things that helps. Crossing my fingers for a girl since I won't start any more seeds from this batch until next year. Happy Growing grow-mies.
Waiting to see if I have a boy or girl?? Watering was lowered early in the week, then increased by the end of the week. I put the pop-up canopy to avoid heat stress. Plant is responding really well. Nice green foliage and a sideways stretch that is indicative of the grease monkey genes.
