I put 2 Gorilla Glue Faster seeds in 100ml distilled water with about 5 ml 3% Hydrogen peroxide and left it in a dark, closet, about 25C. After 24 hours, there was no change, so put into a tupperware container with distilled water (no hydrogen peroxide) and paper towels (just moist). I watched them everyday (putting more water if necessary), and no change but a darkening in color after one week.
So, i tried to germinate another 2 Gorilla Glue Faster seeds. After another 3 days (10th day), one of the initial seeds began to show some radicula and I planted it.
6 days later (day 13), the very first seed sprouted. The same day, I tried to germinate another 2 Gorilla Glue Faster seeds (so, 6 total at this point).
After 13 days, including germination, the first (of 6) Gorilla Glue Faster seeds actually sprouted.
None of the other seeds germinated, still keeping them moist in the paper towels though.
Still none of the other seeds have germinated. The one survivor here I have propped up with toothpicks and am sheltering it with a clear plastic bottle. Not sure if that's better or worse.
Still no sign at all of the seeds in germination, they basically all just turned black. So, in a last ditch effort to have a companion for the convalescing infant GGF#1, I've put the last of the 7 GGF seeds to germinate.
This little survivor under the improvised pod is certainly obstinate and I'm doing everything I can to keep it alive. Oh, did I mention the soil is organic bokashi? Seems that all conditions were pretty dang good for Gorilla Glue Faster, but this harsh world just ain't having any of it. But, we persevere. More news from the intrepid Gorilla Glue Faster #1 next week!
Our little survivor continues to beat all odds and is currently coming out of it's slumber, forming lush green leaves and just bursting with life. He/she is enjoying the structural assistance of a couple unflagging and very supportive toothpicks. It is possible that this sudden flourishing is due to a change of ambience. He/she has been whisked from the stiffling (30C and 70%) confines of an improvised cardboard vegetative tent with a 100W Ledz light and minimal ventilation to the (seemingly) luxurious spacious airs of a 60cm X 90cm X 135cm tent with a Quantum 150W board, though, the other plants didn't seem to have this problem. Could this Gorilla Glue Faster just be a tempermental little bitch?
She has grown explosively this week. the new growths are stunted and it looks like it is headed for having 2 or more small colas of a gram maybe? Let's see what happens in the next week or so....I'm sort of thinking that it won't be necessary to even transplant to a larger pot, considering that it's an auto and it's stunted. I just really want to give the best possible life to her while she is with us on the planet, considering the circumstances... would you want to be stuck in a grow tent being fattened up with no regard for your need for connecting with the outside world?
The explosive growth has continued this week. Not sure what happened, really... perhaps the light change a couple weeks ago? I didn't have the same issue with other plants...
I moved her into a new 15L pot (from a 4L pot) and she seems to be expanding sprawling out quite comfortably and quickly. She smells good! (or am I confusing the smell with the few other nearby plants? not sure...). It's like she finally figured out what she is supposed to do on earth. I suppose the bigger pot helps... the way she grew up was in 4 nearly equal branches, so I just pulled them apart and tied them down. I also got rid of some of the bigger fan leaves that were covering the interior buds sites. I also trimmed any of the bud sites and leaves at the first couple nodes (they were all a little confused, sort of mutant-like). Now it seems that the growth is more directed and efficient.
This is like the phoenix that rose from the ashes, or like the little engine that could, or choose your favorite underdog. This one is their sister, their comrade in arms, their inspiring story of conquering at all odds. Actually, maybe it'd be more like Donald Trump, in that it was born with virtually everything it could possibly want - food, clothes and shelter and a loving, doting parent, yet, it just couldn't quite make it... well, I suppose a congenital birth defect isn't much like what's wrong with Donald Trump (well, maybe on the other hand...). and then, it blamed it's lack of success on its surroundings! and talked shit about it! gawdamn! anyway, I digress. this young sister is kicking ass. exploding growth hormones. her branches naturally spread out, the better to create killer colas at the tops of each, and to spread out in a nice smooth coverage. i'm happy. more to come next week! thanks for reading my silly thoughts
this is not actually the 8th week, it is the 12th week of vegetation. She's just still growing! It's incredible! I've been training her to spread out and also defoliating quite a bit. I think I did a pretty extreme defoliation 3 times over this time and it just explodes again.
i now have a problem with what seems to be a nitrogen or potassium deficiency. not sure. I'm recycling organic bokashi soil. at the recommendation of the manufacturer of the soil, i added additional powdered bokashi to this soil. I've been giving it Flowermind organic fertilizer. Do those yellow leaves look like that is a deficiency or a overdose of some elements, mineral?
Mano, tenho uma dúvida> Tu só está cultivando elas ou tem junto alguma auto? Pergunto porque as minhas começaram a florir junto com as auto e sinceramente isso me frustou muito
@cultivando_a_cura, sim, essa está com mais 4 plantas na mesma estufa. todas são autos. vc tem feminizada e auto junto? ou mudou o horario de luz para 12/12/?
