Good call on bringing her in yesterday afternoon. She wouldn’t have survived today…

Wasn’t able to get to them, but 70 mph winds and a torrential downpour caught these 2. Managed to bring them in before the other round hit. Have given no nutes in a while, and they were looking awesome before this hit. Transplanted the Ky to dry soil, in a fabric pot to help it along its way. Have my tent timers set to what it is outside, and gonna try and nurse these two back to life

Kush survived and thriving, but don’t think the Ky will make it. Still nursing her

It will make it just water it and put it in a sunny spot.

4 days of nice weather, so may just set it with the other two, and see how she does.
During shucking I put aside a little shy of 30 seeds from pheno 1 and 2, that all seemed to be immature decided to pop them for science ended up with 100% germ rate… well looks like I’ll be growing some kentucky red a little sooner than expected now that there is some seeds re stocked up I will probably just run with the strongest females. Even being fully seeded these things stunk of serious rubber amd funk cannot wait to smell and smoke with no seed… big thanks again to @ChinookKing for allowing me to help preserve this strain can’t wait to get some stock back to you amd the source

I love it. Can’t wait to hear a smoke report! Long weekend, and we’re cleaning, so I’m taking care of the tent also, and starting my end of it very very soon. I’m at a place mentally where I can, and eager to see what we come up with, when we combine all three. This one is making it after her last incident, and only did a fem for now, thanks to @ChinookKing, because I wanted to see how she does in her namesake state. Edited: Wife says take care of the tent, gotta love her lol. Getting seedling soil later, and making a few more humidity domes

She definitely recovered, and have a seed that’s popped out of the soil. Looking like a few more aren’t far behind

May I suggest you plant her in the ground if you got a spot. She looks like she wants to blow up in size.

Can’t here, or I would. Can upsize pots, and plan on moving to a 10 or 15 gallon soon

When she got waterlogged, I took her out of what she was in, and carefully washed her roots off, and stuck her in this one, so she would be able to get better root growth. I looked earlier, and saw some roots in the bottom of the pot. I have 10 gallon fabric ones on the way, and should be here Monday, so I can transplant everything one last time. I know I haven’t been much help during this project so far, but with this one, I can tell you that it LOVES humidity, it can weather storms and wind pretty well, and hopefully later on, I can be able to tell you around what month to harvest it. June is coming up, and I can’t wait to see how she explodes in the hotter days. #4 looks very promising

Back in the mid 90’s KY had some awesome outdoor we called “middies”. This was back in the day when mexi brick was the norm and you only saw chronic a few times a year. Lime green fluffy buds with neon orange hairs. This would go for 30$ an 1/8, 60$ a 1/4 and 180$ on oz. Rumors were it was some outdoor from the hills deeper in KY but I don’t know for sure. I don’t remember there being anything super special about the smell or taste other then it was way better then the brick shit we were getting. I miss the hell out of those middies for nostalgia sake.

I understand that. Used to get some stuff off someone in Louisville around 07 that was a good mid. Didn’t know about sativa or indica then, but I wish I had some seeds from it.

(Whistling My Old Ky Home) Hotter days are coming, 10 gallon fabric pots in the mail tomorrow… She about to explode
As far as the project, still being positive about it. Have one doing an awesome job, and had the other rot where the stem meets the shell. Thinking the humidity got to it there. Waiting on the other 4 to pop, and took the domes off for tonight to see if that helps

With a 10 gallon container make sure you mix in plenty of Perlite and I suggest adding plenty of mycorrhizal fungi under the plant when you transport it. GL!
