@Jellypowered & @Baudelaire: I’ve been patiently waiting for the trichomes on the Durban plants to turn amber. Today, #74 told me she is ready NOW.
She has bananas sparsely sprinkled on her. So, I paid attention and harvested her on Flower day 80 at 30.25" tall. Her sister #75, has no bananas and only about 15% of her trichomes are amber, but I’ll harvest here tomorrow anyway.
@ReikoX, my newest LR x LD plants, 90 & 91, are 23" tall. That makes them 9" taller that 80 was at harvest.
With these being seedless, I should have a substantial yield from them.
@Jellypowered & @Kalgrae: the 4 (BC Mango x BC Night Nurse) x Diesel Moonshine seedlings are looking good. It is getting harder and harder to see the 8 days difference in age of 96 & 97 to 98 & 99
Another week or 2 will primordia. I can’t wait to see how many of each I get.
@Sebring, Number 100 is doing really well.
Unfortunately, her sister 101, never grew. It got just so far and stopped. Good thing I have 70 more seeds.
The next seeds I will be growing out are Chuy Purps x Send Sight that I got from @pookie123 I should’ve gotten them in a few days ago, but I’ve been preoccupied in with finding the correct recipe for STS. I’ll probably get them in tomorrow.
I ran out of the STS I purchased. The plant I was reversing has continued making female flowers, so I need more. I’m going to make it myself. There are 8 different recipes that I have found. Since they come up with different amounts per liter of the ingredients, I’ve been on a mission to find the correct recipe. I accumulated all the data, worked out how much each recipe called for in terms of grams per liter so I could compare apples to apples. It turns out it is the one @ReikoX was using when he tried to reverse his Juanita is the correct recipe. Although, the majority of sources say to dilute it to 1:9 (solution:distilled water) to avoid damaging plant tissue, so I’ll be going that way.
With all I’ve been reading about using STS to reverse a female, I found I was not doing all I could to ensure a positive outcome. A good part of my failure was due to the instructions that I received along with my STS.
The instructions I got said to wait until the plant has been 12/12 for a week before spraying. Most instructions I found say to start a week before starting 12/12.
The instruction sheet said nothing about what time of its day to spray the plant. Consensus says to spray right after lights off because STS is highly sensitive to light.
The instruction sheet said nothing about storing the solution in the frig. Consensus says it goes bad at room temperature.
So, tomorrow I start again with the correct formula and good instructions on how to go about it. There should be time to get mature pollen form it before it is ready for the burn barrel.
I’ve been toying with the idea of pollinating a branch of my OG Kush with it. I think they’d make a good pairing.
