It's time for the weekly update.
I have three plants left in mineralized soil. The two ratty Indian Skunks (Kerala1&2) have gone back to producing calyxes and sugar leaves so I'm letting them grow. They're both wayyyy overdue, but I have the space and I figure there's no sense in lighting up bare floor, so they stay. Kerala2 might still turn into something. Her calyxes still won't swell, but the buds are hard and fat - stuffed with little calyxes - and there's some good frost on the sugar leaves, so maybe there's something inside the buds, too. I took a popcorn bud from the very bottom of Kerala1, the worst one, and got a brix reading of 11/14, so it's not in terrible health, at least. I've harvested an ounce and a half from Kerala1 so far. This is what's left.
Kerala1 - 114 days - 98 Days 12/12 - 77 since pistils
Kerala2 - 112 Days - 84 Days 12/12 - 76 days since pistils
The Hawaiian shows slow steady development - I still think she'll finish in the next four weeks - and her brix this week was a steady 13/15. The new growth is nice and green, so I hope she's past her danger phase. Another week will help with the worm poop topdressing too.
I have another Kerala3 in Doc's kit soil, and that's the one that is yellowing a bit. I should see some sort of reaction to the drench, so that will be interesting.
Brix 11/13
The Jamaican Dreams continue to look delicious, developing some serious frost all over their buds and attached fanleaves. This is much earlier than their mother in mineralized soil.
Brix JD1-10/11
Brix JD2-9/11
JD1 - 85 Days - 25 Days 12/12 - 17 days since pistils
JD2 - 85 Days - 25 Days 12/12 - 17 Days since pistils
The SLH reveg looks good. Pretty soon I'll be able to take a couple cuts and try that one again. I have it scheduled for two weeks from now. I should have taken a cut from the first round - it was a great plant to grow.
I transplanted the White Panther and Caramelo into their 6 gallon pots - the root ball had filled the 3 quart pots in less than two weeks.
They got another dusting of root zone at transplant.
White Panther - 34 days old
Caramelo - 32 days old
On Tuesday, I started three seeds - Ace Panama, Barney's Tangerine Dream, and World of Seeds Wild Thailand. Panama sprouted Thursday and Tangerine on Friday, still waiting for Wild Thai.
Panama - 3 Days
Tangerine Dream - 1 Day
The Jamaican cut JD3 is nice and snug in a 3 quart pot, and I potted two of her sister cuts for the heck of it. I have the light, but they'll have to get culled eventually. Just some insurance.
And that's all, folks!

. Very interesting bit about the dome leading to more males. I came across a chart in another journal (recent) that says you can identify female seeds by a round volcano shaped crater on the bottom of the seed, along with overall roundness. I have seen this chart even in journals 5+years old, if it were true wouldn't it kind of be 'known' by now?
