Finally getting around to doing another phenotype hunt, and I'm using regular seeds kindly sent to me by Royal Queen Seeds. The strain is Mango Crunch, hoping for something fruity in the vaporiser.
Because of space restrictions I can't grow many new plants at the same time while still growing clones of my main staple plant, so I'm starting with 2 seeds for now.
A rather stocky little thing, this plant. Usually I'd just wait for it to grow half a foot and then take the top as clone, flowering the topped plant, but with this one I may have to wait a week longer or two and take a side shoot instead, as it's probably going to be bushy rather than lengthy.
I *just* about managed to take a cutting above the 3rd node that's long enough for cloning. Afterwards I removed the thinner growth on node 2 and bent the branches of node 3 down a bit. Another topping and another week of vegging, and this will flower with 4 shoots in a mainline config.
2nd round of topping this week, going to let her (hopefully it's a her) recover for a bit and then flower the following week.
Had a bit of nutrient burn, need to watch the soil mix there. New growth seems fine, though. Going to keep it hands off for now.
Last week of veg, gave her (I hope, nothing's proven till there's balls) a few extra days to recover after nutrient burn etc. - looking much greener again now, and ready to stretch. Please don't have balls.
I popped another seed, and this one turned out female - so I'm going to pick this diary up where it left off with the previous plant, in early flower.
The new plant has just finished her flower stretch after three weeks and is showing first pistils. I also have a rooted cutting in case she's a keeper.
She's finished her 7th week of flower. The temperatures in the new space are slightly lower on average than the old space so she started developing some colour!
