Ravenplume Grow Journal 2024:4 - Timing Studies

[Ravenplume]

10:45

Well, the toker load from Token Zero gave the usual 5 hits, as of about 5 to 10 minutes ago. I am feeling a notable buzz, a functional buzz, as I am calling it.

Also, I am now proposing that a toker load be actually called a token (the little gals and guys in the Solo cups will remain designated Tokens as well. Shouldn't cause too much confusion.) So yeah, I just had a token of Token Zero, Wildling:00/2019.

I think that this evening, I will go ahead and bring in all the remaining surviving Tokens, snip and save the pollen sacs off the boys, and keep them perma under reveg lighting.

Both seeds are now germinating via 2 Seeds 1 Cup (along with a couple seeds from the sunflower that was companioned with Pandorra from the 4/20 Challenge). They are now being kept in an old metal index card file box to do their thing in the dark.

So...

Ravenplume Feyleaf - Pair:01 / Generation:00 / 2024 - S:00, 01

The TK:0x series Tokens as of yesterday...

TK:02 - Birthday Spanking Pair:00/G:00/2023 : 2" (5.08cm)
TK:03 - Birthday Spanking Pair:01/G:00/2023 : 5.25" (13.3cm)
TK:04 - Bitter Sweet Pie Lite/2023 : 3.25" (8.25cm)
TK:06 - Feyleaf Pair:00/G:00/2022 : 5.25" (13.3cm)
TK:07 - Feyleaf Lite Pair:00/2023 : 1 7/8" (47.6mm)
TK:09 - Ravenplume Wildling:01/2023 : 5" (12.7cm)

All 6 have been moved inside and upstairs to attempt to reveg. The boys have had their pollen sacs collected and saved for later use. Guess I should give a little update on the TK:1x Tokens soon, at least the four surviving ones; but not right now.

 

[Ravenplume]

15:00

And here we have the 4 survivors from the TK:1x series.

TK:12 - Birthday Spanking Pair:00/G:00/2023 : 3 3/8" (8.57cm)
TK:13 - Birthday Spanking Pair:01/G:00/2023 : 2.75" (6.98cm)
TK:17 - Feyleaf Lite Pair:00/2023 : 2.5" (6.35cm)
TK:19 - Ravenplume Wildling:01/2023 : 3 5/8" (9.21cm)

Now, if these four recover from my bit of neglect over the past month, they will be paired up with their TK:0x series counterparts to make my duos. Of course, if they end up same sex as their counterparts, then any boys will get their pollen collected and be terminated, and the girls will get upgraded to at least one of those small Dollar Tree planters to grow out into more than just a Token, and may get them knocked up by their various brothers as well, and see how well I can grow them out over the Winter.

For now, they get to hang out under the flouro lamp in my room, alongside the bucket of horseradish (which I am hoping to eventually get seeds from.) They still have not yet been sexed. That will start after they are looking healthy again like the TK:0x kids. Actually hoping that will be by the end of the month.

The TK:2xx series will likely actually be started fairly soon, instead of waiting for the new arrivals after harvest. Will be starting with the ones that are not represented in the 0x and 1x groups. Decided I do actually want a pair of each Birthday Cake Lite, and still need a pair of Bubblegum Lites and Wildling:00. Plus, Feyleaf also needs a sibling companion as well. So I guess at some point today or tomorrow, I will at least get those started, using the damp paper towel techniwue (due to having some peppers and other things also getting started as well, so no 2 Seeds 1 Cup for these. And this time around, I will maintain my focus and try to journal everything I can about these as they grow. The timings on the first two groups are pretty much shot to hell now anyway.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-16 / 18:00

First round of TK:2xx series started in damp paper towels.

2x Birthday Cake Lite - Plant:00 / 2022
1x Bitter Sweet Pie Lite / 2023
2x Bubblegum Lite / 2023
1x Feyleaf - Pair:00/G:00/2022
2x Ravenplume Wildling:01/2023

I was also going to have 2x Birthday Cake Lite - Plant:01 / 2022, but at the moment, the seed baggie is misplaced, so that will have to be added to the lineup later.

TK numbers will be assigned as they sprout.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-18 / 22:45

As of 09:00 this morning, one of the two Birthday Cake Lite - Plant:0 seeds had sprouted. It is hereby declared TK:200A.

And as of 45 minutes ago, 22:00, the solitary Feyleaf - Pair:00/G:00/2022 has sprouted. It is designated TK:201.

Time to Sprout (TtS)

TK:200A - 39 Hours
TK:201 - 52 Hours

I am expecting by tomorrow night, they will both be ready to plant in their assigned cups.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-19 / 09:00

And this morning, we have sprouted, the Bitter Sweet Pie Lite single, both Bubblegum Lites, and one of Wildling:00/2019. And now that I have reps of each sprouted, I am going to reassign their TK numbers, meaning Feyleaf gets redesignated. They are now being assigned alphabetically. So...

Time to Sprout (TtS)

TK:200A / Birthday Cake Lite - PL:0/2023 - 39 Hours
TK:201 / Bitter Sweet Pie Lite - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:202A / Bubblegum Lite - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:202B / Bubblegum Lite - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:203 / Feyleaf-PR:00/G:00/2022 - 52 Hours
TK:204A / Ravenplume Wildling:00/2019 - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours

So all that is left unsprouted are TK:200B, Birthday Cake Lite Plant:0 - 200-Bravo, and TK:204B, Wildling:00 - 204-Bravo. I will check again this evening and then tomorrow morning. At this point, may as well try to wait until the last two are sprouted before planting any of them, if they sprout within the next couple days, that is.

 

[Scottay]

Looks like I'm just in time!! Happy Sunday..... can't wait to see your plants pop!!!

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-22 / 07:00

TK:204B - the second Wildling:00/2019 is now finally sprouted.

Time to Sprout (TtS)

TK:200A / Birthday Cake Lite - PL:0/2023 - 39 Hours
TK:201 / Bitter Sweet Pie Lite - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:202A / Bubblegum Lite - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:202B / Bubblegum Lite - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:203 / Feyleaf-PR:00/G:00/2022 - 52 Hours
TK:204A / Ravenplume Wildling:00/2019 - PR:00/2023 - 63 Hours
TK:204B / Ravenplume Wildling:00/2019 - PR:00/2023 - 139 Hours

I am planning on planting what I have thus far sometime this afternoon after I get off work. And after planting, future updates will have everything's times measured in days, and still measured from sprout time, to be designated as SpT.

Additionally, it does appear that TK:19 Wildling:01/2023 is dead. A replacement will be started later today for the 2xx series.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-22/18:00

Finally time to get everything sprouted, except the latest Wildling:00 planted in their Solo mini cups. I am hoping Wildling:00-B will be ready for planting in a day or two. Although I am giving the second Birthday Cake Lite until the end of the month to sprout before tossing it, I will be starting another real soon, as well as the replacement Wildling:01.

So here is the first wave of the 200 series Tokens...

TK:200A - Birthday Cake Lite-Plant:0/2022
TK:201 - Bitter Sweet Pie Lite/2023
TK:202A - Bubblegum Lite-Pair:00/2023
TK:202B - Bubblegum Lite-Pair:00/2023
TK:203 - Feyleaf-Pair:00/2022
TK-204A - Wildling:00/2019

This was all yesterday. Spectrum was down until shortly after midnight last night. Today (10-23), the second Wildling:00 will likely get planted, and the two previously mentioned replacements will get started.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-23 / 15:00

Looks like the second Wildling:00/2019 is ready to plant.

So here now is TK:204B, ready to join its cohorts upstairs soon.

And while I was at it, I went ahead and got the replacement Birthday Cake Lite-P:0 and Wildling:01 seeds started. The previous unsprouted Birthday Cake Lite got moved over into the midst of the Hungarian Wax pepper seeds, just so the two don't get mixed up. It will be declared done if not sprouted by the end of the month.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-24/09:00

Well, whaddayaknow? This morning, that second BC Lite actually sprouted; and less than a day after its replacement was started. Go figure.

TK:200B - Birthday Cake Lite-Plant:0/2022 - TtS: 89 Hours

So, that one gets to be the Bravo token for BC Lite-P:0. Now if the third one sprouts, well we will see what I do with it. Will likely at least Token plant it and call it TK:200C, but what I do with it after, who knows?

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-24 / 12:00

Bleh. Looks like Token Zero's seeds are a no go so far. Looked like they even had some fuzziness around them this morning. Still not quite ready to give up on them. Got them cleaned up and back in the water now. The larger of the two is floating still, while the smaller one sank to the bottom. Larger still has at least a non zero chance of eventually sprouting. And considering how that BC Lite suddenly popped, I am giving them a little longer. So, no new Feyleaf to report yet...

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-25 / 15:00

Well, looks like we definitely have a TK:200C on our hands. The replacement has already sprouted as you can see.

In the meantime, TK:200B is planted and chilling with its elder sibling, TK:200A.

TK:200C - Birthday Cake Lite - Plant:0/2022 - TtS: 48 Hours

Good odds this one will eventually get upgraded to a sizable planter or 5 gallon bucket to become an indoor post season grow. For now, it gets to just be a token.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-10-26 / 08:00

Wildling:01/2023 - TK:205 is sprouted. TtS: 89 Hours

Once it has grown a bit and been planted, it will accompany its brother, TK06 brother for the Wildling:01 pair.

 

[Ravenplume]

Due to just too much on my plate as well as some general laziness, I am going to pause the Token project until after I am completely done with the harvest and collection. The current sprouts in their napkins are now way too long to go in the little Solo cups, so they are destined for various indoor planters, likely doubling up on some of them.

The TK:2xx series is thus done (will give a summary later and an update on the survivors of the earlier TK series, and the TK:3xx series will commence anew once all plants are processed.

 

[Ravenplume]

2024-11-20 / 16:00

As of last night, the TK:3xx series is now started with Tokens TK:300A, 300B, and 301A, also known as the first two Birthday Spanking-PR:00/G:01/2024 and first thus far Feyleaf-PR:00/G:01/2024 seeds. Once they get their baby leaves, I will put them on 14D/10L lighting to get them sexed properly and then revegged. First girl of each will be pulled from the Tokens project and become the S:00 subject to go out in the cage next year.

TK:300A - Ravenplume Birthday Spanking - Pair:00/Generation:01/2024 - SpT : 56 Hours
TK:300B - Ravenplume Birthday Spanking - Pair:00/Generation:01/2024 - SpT : 56 Hours
TK:301A - Ravenplume Feyleaf - Pair:00/Generation:01/2024 - SpT : 56 Hours
