Hi everybody. What started out as an attempt to see if 3 year old seeds will germinate has turned into a full blown dramatic event- full of intrigue and pictures.
I started the grow in the early part of january. I didn't keep an early log because I honestly expected to kill them quite early. However, 2 strong plants sprouted from the 7 seeds I tried to germinate. I babied them along, and was rewarded to find out both were female!
The plants appear to be almost total sativa, but I have no idea what strain. The seeds were from bagweed way back when. I am using a 400w MH, and GH grow, micro, and bloom nutrients. The avg temp is 77-80, avg humidity is 35-45%. Pic 8 shows the closet I'm working in.
I am growing both in a organic pre packaged mix. I also have 8 clones growing in a hydro ebb and flow system. More about them later.
Rather than chronicle every misfortune that has befallen my plants, I am going to link you to my posts where I frantically sought help.

Heres the first diary post:
Jasmine has still not recovered from the attempted drowning. I think I'm going to lose about 60% of her fan leaves, 10% of her nodes. Picture 1 shows what a sad state she is in (too see her former glory, check out the links above). Picture 2 shows a dead node, which effects the bottom 2. However, there is reason to be marginally optimistic, as the new growth looks ok (pic 3).
Kya appears to be doing much better. I only lost 30% of the fan leaves and none of the nodes. Pic 4 shows her in profile, 5 is her cola bud, and 6 is her new growth.
Responses I'd like: Recommendations of how much of the dead plant material to remove. Also, a estimate of how long before normal growth resumes.
Hope you enjoy my plants, laugh at my misfortune, and help me bring them back from beyond. Thanks!
PS: Check out pic 7 to see my hydro set up. I crammed as many rockwool cubes in there as I could, and am going to cut off the growth nodes to make "budsickles". Any Advice?
