Well… FUCK!!!
And then there was one.
I had convinced myself that both Casamance Sativas were female until just yesterday when both of them started to show balls 2 weeks into flip. There goes my aspiration to enjoy some near pure sativa by the end of this year. I still have a bunch if seeds left over from may Africa trip and might give it another shot at a later time.
So all in all 6 unfeminized seeds started, cared for for 3 months, repotted, fed, moved around to catch the sun, sang to and feared for during stormy nights, LST’d, topped, and trimmed only to kill 5 of them and be left with 1 female Purple#1.
Anyways, good timing since the same day I noticed spider mites on THE ONE REMAINING FEMALE. The consensus around here seems to be “kill everything and start again”. Cant do it. Not to my only surviving child. I’ll pick off every web and mite with tweezers and a microscope if necessary. Cut off that one small bud yesterday morning, removed a few mildly affected leafs, upped fan speed across the canopy, and ordered predatory mites. Wish me luck!
