Can you keep a mother of one of these sativas? Or do they get to big? I have a 16 site cloner

I didn’t get that far with my grow though…
But i don’t see why not…
You can try and keep them under low light and very light feed to keep the mother’s under control…

I haven’t smoked one hit weed since the early 80’s, I get a little excited thinking about this pot. I hope I’m not getting annoying. It’s been a dream of mine to grow this stuff.

If youre gonna soak the seeds, just wait for them to sink.
Then take them out about an hour later. You really dont want them to stick in an anaerobic environment for longer than that.
No need to sandpaper them.
When they grow out, don’t top them - sativas freak out when topped.
I prefer to tie down the main branch. As the auxillary branches start bolting, tie them down below the main branch – its all about auxins and hormones. Then untie the main branch in about a week.
Retie branches down as needed.

You just need to keep the mother smaller by trimming/cloning. I keep mine in one gallon pots and trim off most of the new growth if not taking clones at the time.

Now I have to add this from tracking to watching. I grew Viet black a long time ago using pro mix. It had a powder blue hue to it, don’t know if it was the real deal or not.

I’m just finishing up transplanting, getting my seedling tent cleaned and my heat mat plugged in. Put my glass of distilled water on the heat mat set on 90 degrees. I want to see if the water is going to be warm enough tomorrow when I get home. I put the round runoff tray full of water thinking it’s more contact with the heat mat.

I set mine at 80.

That does seem to slow their growth a bit but in my experience did not make a big difference in seed to flower time.

i think the 11/13 is to help prevent the plant from revegging since the equator is 12/12 almost year round.

looking nice tim! you’ve got a lotta seeds in that batch. what are your plans if all 19 germinate?
for nice close-up photos on a budget, i recommend this clip-on macro lens for phone cameras. it’s super affordable (~$13 with free shipping) and takes surprisingly great macro shots. i do have to take my phone case off, otherwise the pictures are not as sharp because the macro lens isn’t as close to the phone’s camera lens. it’s what i use to shoot all of the macro shots in my grow journal.
