Johnny's retreat and up coming grow logs

Update, 25/02/20, 14 days from sprouting.

Ok to start with pot number 1, which is from the selfed plant.
Showed signs of the crinkle leaf that @Mr.Sparkle mentions, but has really come along nicely.
It’s about 160mm tip to tip, or about 6 1/2 inches

About 80mm high, a little over 3 inch’s

And stacking on the side growth with very close internodes.

Pot number 2, also one of the selfed seeds. Showed the crinkle as well but is a bit of a runt, slowly coming along at about 90mm or about 4 inches

And about 70 mm high, 3 inches

And not much happening

Pot number 3, which is from the smaller/darker plant at about 170mm wide. This one didn’t show the crinkle leaves.

And about 80mm heigh, just over 3 inches

And again structuring nicely.

And number 4, the runt, same seed plant as above number 3. This one maybe going in the next couple of days.

Hopefully all of the real hot weather is behind us this year so we can get our grow on! They look like they will stack well with nice thick stems there @Johnnybsmokin.

So the two selfed plants are have crinckled leaves. Is this genetics?

Yea, mrsparkle has said from the start that some do it. It seems to disappear as they grow some times.
He just says to keep an eye on them and toss them if they become runts.

Yeah number 4 I’d pull, but other than that the others are growing some of those leaf mutations just happen if they have some stress just starting off, but if subsequent leaves don’t have them then your good, that 4th one though…

Thanks for stopping by MrSparkle.

Yes number 4 was pulled this morning, no point spending any effort on a plant that’s going to produce very little.

Hey mate

Yes thank good the summer is finally coming to an end. I’ve really struggled some past summers but this one was ok. Not sure if it’s the new SIP pots or the Dark Sparks genetics that tolerate the heat a bit better.

Hey Pedro

Yes things are growing nicely nowadays, a lot I think has to do with the little SIP’s I’m now using. No guessing when to water any more, I just keep the water up in the reservoir.

I’ve not tried any photo periods yet, just the auto’s so far. The next lot will be photos and cloning etc, time will tell how it goes.
