Romulawi Glue

Lion_of_Buddha 7/26/20: 54 days from seed. This diary will track the outdoor portion of the grow featured in my indoor Romulawi Glue and Dream Queen Glue diary. I repotted almost all of the plants in 3 gal. pots into 10 gal. pots, which will be their last repot (obviously). I held off on repotting the two plants in 5 gal. pots and one of the plants in a 3 as they're hinting that they may end up male, so I'm going to wait another day or so before I make any decisions.

Lion_of_Buddha 8/2/20: 61 days from seed/11 days in flower (approx.). Plants are doing well. I had a hard time with the late transplants; they needed about five days of very careful supervision in the sun, because they kept wilting. Finally over the last day or so they've been able to withstand full sun for most of the day again. The plants in the 3 and 5 gal pots leaped ahead, growth- and development-wise; the transplants are clearly lagging behind. But I have a feeling they'll catch up. Pistils are visible on two of the plants, but I haven't seen any on the others as yet.

Lion_of_Buddha 8/7/20: 66 days from seed/16 days in flower. Outdoor gang is loving the recent drop in temps -- high of 88 yesterday, 91 today. 5 gal and 3 gal still need to be watered pretty much every day; 10 gals are getting by with every second day. Still no pistils on the late transplants. Watching and waiting continues. 8/11/20: Day 70/Flower day 20. Flushed with plain water today, as we're in another nasty heat wave. Going to add some Recharge and some CalMag later in the week. In other news, more males showed. The count is now one certain female, one suspected female, two suspected males. I learned two things from this grow: 1) If you want to grow photoperiod, grow feminized. Growing regular seeds and playing gender roulette is dumb when you can know for certain that every bit of energy you're putting in is going to yield something (or at least if it doesn't, it's due to your error and not random chance). 2) Buy seeds from seed banks, not your local dispensary. Out of 24 seeds, I had a germination rate of like 55%. Out of those, only about ten survived, and of those, there are only three that I know for sure at this point are female (counting the two that I'm growing indoors). Can't say I'm super thrilled with those ratios.

Lion_of_Buddha 8/13/20: 72 days from seed/22 days in flower. Sad to say that the last two LSTed former insider repots went hermie on me. Heartbreaking. Lots of woolly bud clusters with lots of little bunches of grapes. They got the chop this morning, so now we're down to the last two outdoor ladies. They're both stretchy tall, so I think the taller one (10 gal) will be Brienne and the slightly less-tall one (5 gal) will be Xena.

Lion_of_Buddha 8/23/20: 82 days from seed/32 days in flower. Placeholder week; been busy with work. Girls are rocking.

Lion_of_Buddha 8/29/20: Flower week six. Plants still thriving. Pests are becoming a bit of an issue with Brienne; they've chawed some leaves and she's still got many weeks to go. Xena looks awesome.
