Week 9: Maximum Vigor and First Clones This week has been amazing for plant growth! They’ve reached incredible vigor, with vibrant green leaves and almost no signs of insect damage. One plant has already reached 65 cm in height. Notes: I identified two males in the grow and separated them to collect pollen at the right time. Three plants showed pistils, confirming they’re females, while the others are still in the process of revealing their sex. I made the first clones from plants with well-developed lateral branches. I decided to plant them directly in the soil without a greenhouse—we’ll see how they adapt to direct planting. Climate and Environment: The weather has been very hot and rainy, typical for this time of year. Despite the large number of sucking and biting insects around, the plants are thriving, healthy, and growing without the need for any kind of chemical pesticides. The heavy rains have helped keep the soil moist, which seems to be contributing to the overall vigor of the grow. Next Steps: Continue monitoring the plants that still need to reveal their sex. Observe how the clones adapt in direct soil without a greenhouse. Keep an eye on the males to collect pollen at the right time.
