Update - Day 55 from seed - Day 49 of veg:
Week 7 of veg. Plants are doing great, with some new developments described below with photos.
Blue Dream - I'm starting to see female preflowers on her....yay! The quadline is not as robust as I'd hoped. It looks like all of the energy is going into the top crossbranches, with very little growth from the lower branches. Hopefully that'll change in flower.
Liberty Haze - I've been seeing female preflowers for a while already on this one. This plant is looking great! Time to get her and the Blue Dream into their final 7-gal pots
Master Kush - Unfortunately, I'm starting to see what I think are male preflowers on this one. Pictures below are not too clear, but just the absence of female preflowers at this age is another clue that I've got a dude here. Too bad, because the last time I attempted MK, I got dud seeds, males and no females.
Peyote Critical - This one is an experiment. It probably should have been culled, but I've let it live up to this point. It's showing female preflowers, so that's one point in her favor. But comparatively, it's tiny and probably won't produce more than an ounce or two. I'll be transplanting this one to a 3-gal final pot this week.
Damnesia - These are my backups. These are seeds that came out of a previous Damnesia crop. I don't know if they were self-pollinated or if another plant in the tent hermied and pollinated them. So, I don't know if the seeds would be 'regular' or more like 'feminized'. If a plant hermies and self-polinates itself, those seeds should be female, right? But what if another plant in the vicinity hemies and pollinates its neighbor? Still all-female genes, right? That's my guess, but I guess we'll see with these three. At any rate, I started these just in case my one MK turned out male, which it looks like it will. And with the PC being a low producer, a couple of these Damnesias should allow me a decent harvest. These are now in 1-gal pots and have been topped. I'll be moving them into 3-gal final pots is about another week.
And finally, here's a tent shot:
This is turning into a bit of an unusual grow, but such is life. If I cull the Master Kush and one of the Damnesias, that'll give me two big females in 7-gal pots, plus the Peyote Critical mutant and two much younger and smaller Damnesias in 3-gal pots. Keeping an even cannopy will be a challenge, but the pots should all fit in the tent. Could get interesting....
