So, back when I started this grow, I sowed 3 seeds and was going to keep 1 to grow indoor.
The indoor one I decided to keep was forced to be placed outside, I think because of a failing light I have since replaced. I have a bad memory. That "indoor" plant has been outdoor in a 5-gallon fabric pot ever since.
The two that were not as strong growing were going to be killed, but, I don't really like killing plants, so I also put them both outside, except transplanted in the earth.
So, we have 3 plants of this cultivar growing outdoors. The strong one that I kept in the fabric pot is in another diary of mine still growing.
The other 2 plants that were transplanted outdoors was this diary.
Soon after being placed outside, one of these two plants was dug up by a rodent, and laying on the ground completely up-rooted. I haven't been showing it off for a long time, because for a few weeks, I wasn't sure if it would make it after re-transplanting it. To be honest, I didn't know if the other one would either, as both of these plants grew very slowly.
This week is different. I took a picture of both of them side by side, making both runts part of this diary once again. The plant on the left is the one I have been documenting for a while. The one on the right is the one that was dug up by a rodent, and was growing slower for a long time.
We can see from the image that the one that was dug up (the one on the right) is now slightly larger than the one on the left. We can also see that both appear to be very similar in appearance and growth rate. We have here two runts that more or less grew equivalently, while another plant of the same cultivar in another diary decided to reach for the sky from the very start. Pretty interesting.
Check out the other Colombian Jack diary if you're curious about the other one, which has a weird mutation called "fasciation", where the stem grows flat like celery, with a lot of extra nodes and foliation. It will also produce an elongated cola that will look pretty strange when it begins flowering. But that's for the other diary.
These 2 plants are robust, coming from weeks of nothing, to pretty nice looking plants at this point. The only problem is they are growing rather close together, which is my fault due to space issues this year. I'm not worried though, as last year I grew 3 Kannabia Kiss plants in the same transplant hole, and was rewarded with one of my largest outdoor harvests ever, with them never competing over each other and growing as one. It was pretty nice. We'll see what happens this year.
Thank you for showcasing the growth of your Colombian Jack through this grow diary π€. Despite not having grown in ideal conditions, weβre glad that youβre satisfied with the result, Kannabia Team π§‘π.
