This experiment was rudely interrupted when this happened:
The fire destroyed everything on the first two stories, leaving me my spouse, 1 of 2 cats, the clothes on my back, and the plants/equipment in this experiment.
Theads on all this:
A Pause Because FIRE! - Overgrow.com
The Pheonix Project - Overgrow.com
So thanx to many friends we get to continue the experiment.
Here is the state of our original plants almost 6 months after their rescue:
Our poor girls are still in their original 1 quart cups. I have kept them alive by feeding them weak tea and foliar sprays. It has taken some time to build the infrastructure needed, but I am thrilled to get a chance to look at these survivors, since this lump of charred plastic is all of the seeds I have created in the last couple years:
Of the original 40 plants, 39 have survived:
And here is everyone in the cloners:
I got at least 2 high quality cuts of every girl. My plan is to send one to bloom and use the other to replace the original plant if needed. They will be close to a year old in those little cups when this is done, and I just don’t want to lose a winner at this point.
So everyone got a haircut and I’ll see how slow they can grow, while keeping them from auto flowering.
We have 5 months left in this project. The rainbow chase for the very best new weed is back on!
As always, your comments and questions are welcome.
