Wednesday update is a single pic since it was raining this morning (summer in Los Angeles?) and the plants are all inside from now until Sunday morning.
Herewith is the Candida S1 dented seed test results:
That's the seed that hadn't split when I put in in the peat and it looks like it's growing out of the early variegation. The other thing is one of the split seeds that may eventually turn into a plant, but I'm going to call this one a 25% success rate. Next I'll try four of the undented seeds and see how those do.
In a few weeks, the Candida I flipped in the closet (seen in the middle of
this pic taken last week) will get completely pollinated with what I collected
here in the hopes that it takes. If it does, those will be the seeds I can pass along to those in need, and the first batch I will keep for myself.
As I mentioned, I'll be out of town tomorrow through Saturday night, so I've got some plant rearranging to do. The Summer grow (Chiquita Banana and Sour G) along with the Jack Herer replacement will get to spread out in the shed, while the flipped Candida will hang out by itself in the tent. The clones will sit under the 23w CFL awaiting my return.

Highya ITS,
You get the Lazarus Award! It's for taking a plant certain for death, figuring what's wrong before it's too late, and bringing it back to excellent health! Great job!! Happy Smokin'
Thanks Bode! I had no idea they handed out Lazarus awards. LOTM?
Beautiful troubleshooting explanation Shed!
Thank you Otter, though it sure did take me a while to sort this one out!
Pretty amazing turn around!
and phewf!
Well that is Something i must say having used this close to the same potting soil I know where your coming from , very disappointing to say the least . I got some bell pepper plants that i think are in the this Kellogg's soil and they are the same height as they were 2 months ago with NO Veggies !
Damn, sorry to hear it works no better on veggies sb. I bet it's why my window box plants never get very big either now that I remember that's what I filled it with. Time to dig that all up and replace it with quality soil.
Shed and friends , when a slurry test is done of the soil do you use your PH pen for water to do this ? Thanks in Advance
Indeed! Here are the slurry test instructions I often post:
Take samples from a few different places (dig down a bit rather than just use the top) and add an equivalent amount of
distilled water as grams of soil (10 grams of soil, add 10ml water). If that doesn't make a slurry, use enough to make a stirrable but thick slurry.
Stir it up, wait 15 minutes, stir again. Do that for at least an hour (longer is better), and then put your
calibrated pH stick in the water. That's the pH of your medium.
Very good point, I had empty jars just a few weeks ago. Thankfully edibles helped tide me over for a couple of weeks.
I have the advantage of being able to grow some big outside plants which has left me with an nice inventory of meds in jars.
Yeah, I figured it would be a similar total yield but spread across three plants instead of two. I went with Chocolope, Wedding Cake and Runtz. All germinated, just waiting for them to sprout.
And we're waiting for a link to the new journal...
It sure is at my house!
