Re: Aberration Goes Ker Bloom! - 2009
I hope so. I would prefer not to document
all the ways you can fail at starting seeds.
Thanks for the support, guys.
In ongoing business, BBX.2A (BigBud x BlueMagoo) and L.3A ('Lavender' indica) will wait until tomorrow night for harvest. They are done, but another day certainly won't hurt.
The two Grandaddy Purps plants that will follow them in bloom are GDP.1F & GDP.1K. GDP.1F is 18" tall and has three robust and equal tops. GDP.1K has a single top, Christmas tree style, and is about 20" tall. These are smaller than what I have been putting in for a while, but they will do. They will have to.
I have also found a solution for an ongoing issue. Right after transplanting some clones into their first pot, some transplantees would curl up and die. Maybe 1 in 10, but more with some strains and less with others. I put a couple such from my recent re-potting batch on the floor where it is dim, and sprayed them 2-3 times a day with plain distilled water. They are recovering. That was too easy. Now I recognize that as a form of wilt, though it doesn't have the same droop as a larger plant does when wilting.
Here's a 6" plant. It is starting to wilt. A larger plant would be more robust and would show a drooping of leaves all over before the top started to twist:
A 2-3" fresh clone has fewer resources, is less well established and less robust. I suspect the difference in the way it curls may be due to different effect taking hold at a different timing influenced by scale and resources. In any case it's nice to finally figure out I can easily save those. I always just assumed they were toast. Here's one right after being misted the first time:
See the connection? I finally do. And I now know that both are likely to recover now. Cool.
