Hellllooo OverGrow!
I have some updates on my two gifted seed grows going now.
I re-potted the baby Durbans (from @Jellypowered) last night. They have gotten a really large leaf span and I worried they might be finding the 4" pots too tight. I definitely have 2 different types. Numbers 73 & 74 are shorter, bushy plants and #75 that is taller and looks like it will be a columnar type.
It has been 40 days since I put them into germination and 14 days since they started Veg mode.
Number 73 has already shown his sex (Yay!! A pollen factory. ). I tried to photograph his primordia using my 20x handheld digital microscope. It was incredibly difficult to hold the camera and plant close, focus, and shoot. At magnification, every slight tremble destroys the image. I shot over a dozen pics to get this one and it is still very slightly out of focus, but is good enough to identify the male sex. I’m going to start flowering him tomorrow for a pollen harvest.
I am also positive #74 is a female. I could see her sex with 10x magnifier specs, but could not get a legible photo. Her primordia is so small and hidden by the tiny blade leaves. She was getting all stressed out from my 15 attempts, so I just stopped. I’ll try again tomorrow or the next day.
The tall one is still being shy and has given me no sign of its sex yet.
All the leaves so far are very wide. This surprises me because the Durbans are sativa dominant. I always thought sativas had very thin leaves and indicas had the wide leaves.
Ok, now we come to the autos (from @ReikoX). They are 2 weeks since I put them into germ. They are still in a boring phase. Number 78 is looking much better than before. The lopsidedness from being stuck in her shell is growing out nicely, but slowly as the second layer of serrated leaves looks totally normal.
I made a change in the clone box today. I don’t think the plants like those multi-colored lights more than I hate then. Nothing looks right under them. I changed to a 30W 6500K led corn lamp. Man is it bright in there now! It is much brighter than the 65W daylight CFL I was using.
I received my SolSheet today. I’ll be moving the autos under it as soon as I get it hung.
I also received my order of Sweet Tooth #4 as well. 80% indica! I’m going to squeeze them in right after the autos have reached 30 days because I am a big indica fan.
