Growing on a shelf on the wall

Not_a_dealer 3 out of 4 seeds of the Outdoor Happy Mix pack germinated. One of them (MIX 1) sprouted quite early and is the biggest seedling of all. The other 4 Afghans are doing well. Had a couple of days past week dropping to 10 degrees Celcius at night, probably growing a little slow but all ok. In the next few weeks ill prepare the guerrilla spot for the season.

Not_a_dealer Plants are pretty healthy and growing normally. We got 102°F last week, and they didnt seem to bother. Can see significant growth day by day now. The smallest afghan (the one in the orange pot) is a little slower. I believe it is because it is in a plastic pot so the roots get really hot during the day. The 2 little ones and the biggest of all are of unknown strains (random seed pack by AMS), looking foward to see what im gonna get the next few months.

Not_a_dealer Afghan #2 and Afghan #4 are males. You can see Afghan #2’s ballsack in the pictures. I will keep him for seeds. I pulled Afghan #4 out because, despite it growing just a tiny bit faster than Afghan #2, it was getting more bugs, so i chose to keep the one that was not being attacked since i’ll grow outdoors. Afghan #4 is no more, so i transplanted Afghan #3 from the plastic pot to the fabric pot that was holding #4. During the transplant, the root broke in half, so it got into shock and is now recovering. It have plenty of time to bounce back, so i will just let it be. You can see some yellowing on the tips and how much smaller it is. Afghan #5 is The Beast. It is growing super fast, super strong, no signs of male parts, sickness, or pests at all. Looking foward to cross it with Afghan #2 for seeds. Afghan #1 is just normal. Growing well, but not as strong as #5. Mix #1 (these are from a random seed pack from AMS, i dont know the strains) is growing fast and strong, and have more of sativa caracteristics when compared to the Afghans. Will cross it with Afghan #2 as well. Mix #2 and Mix #3 are some 10 days younger, so i will let them be and comment on the further along.

Not_a_dealer All going well. Afghan #1 turned out to be a male, so i took him out. Already have Afghan #2 thats growing faster and stronger than him; Afghan #2 (The Male) got topped as an experiment. This photos are 5 days after the top; Afghan #3 didnt manage to bounce back from the root damage shock, so i took him out. This is his last photo; The Afghan #5 is going mad strong, i topped her the same day as i topped The Male and it didnt even seen to bother, it just kept growing. Im keeping the cut in a cup of water so i can have a clone of it. Mix #1 is getting bigger fast, and i think it already started flowering (must be an autoflower since it came from a random seed pack). Will wait a few days so i can confirm my suspicions; Mix #2 is getting bigger than everyone and its the youngest seedling of all. It has broader leaves when compared to some of the other plants, so it may have some Indica dominance. Will cross it with the Afghan #2 for seeds for the future. Mix #3 seems like it will not develop all that much. If next week it is still small and week i will cut himm out too. This was it for this week, will try and take more pictures of each plant the next times i update. Until next week.

Not_a_dealer Change of plans. I’ve decided not to go guerrilla, instead i built a little structure behind a passion fruit vine i have in my backyard, up in a wall. I’ve put a net over the plants so i can SCROG them to stay below the level of the wall, even though there’s nobody living in the house next door. Since i got 2 males out of 4 Afghan seeds and one of them did not develop well, i am left with only one Afghan plant (i killed the male since i already harvested his pollen), so i took the top off as a clone, and will get more two clones when i top the lower branches again. You can see the little clone in one of the photos. The other strain i got up on the shelf is an argentinian landrace that i did not post before because it is not a commercial strain, it’s a strain that i got from a guy that grows his own seeds in Argentina. It was some good bud, so i decided to cross it with the Afghan pollen for some experiments, so i will start posting about it. Mix #3 started developing well, bud i don’t have space for it on the shelf, so i will probably give it away. Mix #1 and Mix #2 are autoflowers. I did not know about it prior because it is a seed from a random seed pack, so i dont know the strain nor anything about it. I will just stop posting about them because i dont like autoflowers, but i will let you can see how small Mix #1 is, and i give that to the heat we got here. Autos can’t seem to handle it, and cant grow enough before they start flowering. That’s all for now, more updates next week.

Not_a_dealer The plants are doing well. Afghan #5 is flowering, and apparently my pollination experiments worked, it is starting to form seeds, at least one that is already visible, you can see it in one of the photos. I took the pollen off the male before the females started flowering and froze it for a couple of weeks, then when the females started flowering i brushed the pollen on the pistils. Mix #3 is growing healthy and i started bending her with clips. The Argentinian strain is already smelling super nice and it didnt even started flowering. Cant wait to see what it will produce. The clone i took off the afghan #5 had started flowering when it was really small, so i built a little grow tent with a 100w lamp just to try and reveg it. I topped her and put her inside with 12-12 lights, and it was a success. You can see in the photos the leaves with 1 and 2 tips growing, thats a sign that the plant is revegging. Soon it will start growing normal leaves again, and in 1 or 2 months i will put her outside to flower. I put a mint plant alongside her so it keeps the white flies away and make her company. Theres a photo of the clone 18 days ago so you can compare it with her today inside the tent. Some plants started flowering, some didnt. Thats growing in 12-12 outdoors. Before the end of the year all of them will have started flowering. Thats all for this week.
