"I thought I had learnt from last year's mistakes and that this year would be better but, alas, there is no luck to be found this time 'round."



Greetings to all the wonderful people here on GC.


It all began with one seed. Same time, same place and same sadness to erase. This is where the rhyming ends my friends.


If any of you remember my runt from last year, I took one seed from that batch, germinated it, and popped it in the ground. Two days later this emerged: (Almost owned by a massive frog nonetheless)






About a month later, this is what she looked like:



For some reason, this seed decided to be an autoflower. You can just see the pistils in this shot:



And then tragedy struck... Some cruel, tasteless and vile creature decided to almost level my most prized possession and now this is where she's at today:



Anyway, I'm glad she recovered. Though I moved her out of the ground an into a 2L bottle with a mixture of compost, coco and perlite. I can see the growth by the day. I just hope she goes back to flowering like she was before she got massacred.

I also have two Cali Orange bag seedlings going, that are also dwarfed for some reason. This is one of them:

This one is about three weeks old now.


Anyway. I'm tired now so I'll post the rest of my collection tomorrow. Let me know your thoughts on dwarf plants and how they come about.


Thanks for viewing my (again) miserable grow.

 

Thanks for the tip man. I did what you said and I took the last leaf off. Growth is a bit slow for now but it should pick up speed once it's a bit bigger. It was actually doing really well before it got screwed up.


The mainlining technique seems to be quite effective, but this is not a fast-growing plant by any means so I think it would do more harm than good.

 

So here's the rest of the lineup guys. Most of my plants are dwarfs, so bear with me. I've excluded one or two that aren't quite up to par.


Dwarf no. 1



Dwarf no. 2 (image is a bit blurry)


Dwarf no. 3


And now for my grand finish. Keep in mind these bad ass little girls are only 1 week and 2 days old today. I don't like to brag but these two are the fastest growers I've witnessed.:






This is what they looked like two days ago:




Hopefully they actually turn out to be female. I'm pretty sure they will though, they just have that feminine look.

 

Hi guys. Just a quick update here.


My Cali Orange is really not doing well. At first I thought it was my soil not drying out properly but then I realized it was probably due to under watering. I really wasn't too sure so I just gave it some water anyway. it's the same story with my chewed up, recovering plant.








My dwarf plants are also coming along... slowly.











Notice how they're all producing three-fingered leaf sets, as opposed to the regular five-fingered leaves.


Lastly we have my two strong little ones:














Well that's it for now folks. Enjoy.

 

Thanks man. I'm a little disappointed that I've gotten so many tiny plants, but I'd hate to let them go. Everything just seems to be against me this year. Let's hope for the best.

 

Thanks for the great info dude. I see some of your plants are also a little on the small side. But the ones on the right are beauties. My little ones are gathering steam now.


I think the problem I had with my Cali Orange and the other one that was trying to recover is that the soil was too "hot". The compost I used for those two has chicken manure in it and all sorts of other amendments and I think it was just too much for the roots to handle. They have both passed away. Lesson learned.


I transplanted one of my bigger plants into the same compost, with perlite, and I just really hope it doesn't meet the same demise. I moved it because it was too close to my other plant. I flushed it yesterday until the runoff ran clear, because the first two true leaves are starting to turn yellow and the cotyledons have dried up completely. The bottom of the stem is also starting to turn a little brown and its growth has almost completely stopped. I'm seriously hoping I didn't screw it up because it's my only other "normal" plant.


Here she is today (I flushed yesterday):




And here's my other healthy plant. it's basically growing one new set of leaves every day. I LST'd it a little just to give the lower nodes some light.



Anyway. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the advice.

I agree. I think I have the watering down, I just underestimated the strength of the compost. I should've just stuck to potting soil and perlite but the dumbass in me shone through and now I just have to live with the result. I guess you learn from your mistakes though so it's fine. In the end I should have at least one healthy plant.


Thanks for your input man. Keep well.

 

Thanks man. The one that I flushed seems to be doing a little better. I gave it a weak dose of nitrosol (a liquid plant food) and it seems to have sped up the growth a little bit. It's pushing out its fourth set of leaves with confidence and it's looking nice and healthy now. The stem has stabilized which means the roots have established themselves. I was a bit nervous about it, but it looks happy.


(It's the one on the left)



On another note, my dwarf to the right seems to be picking up quite nicely. It's really quite cute.


In fact. All of my dwarf plants are doing really well. The bigger they get, the faster they grow.





The one on the right seems to be lagging behind a little and appears to be more sativa-dominant. I'm experimenting a little with different soil types. The soil in the blue container is just soil from my garden. I took the soil from below a tree where worm droppings have been falling for years, and this plant seems to be actually doing the best.


And finally, we have my pride and joy. At only two weeks and five days, this plant is a beauty. The stem is already almost as thick as a pencil and the lower nodes are growing out stunningly.






That's all for now. I look forward to seeing these babies grow.

 

Just another update here, people of GC. This year I've had a bit of a rocky start, but things are looking up. I now have 15 plants in total and I must say, they're turning into little beauties.


I planted two new seeds today in plain potting mix and perlite, because that seems to be the medium which these plants enjoy most. I have two planted in the ground which are also runts so I haven't photographed them yet. When they get a bit bigger I'll update you on them. Anyway, this is where we're at currently:


My poor little Cali Orange is on the bottom left. But it looks like it's picking up like its neighbors.








These are two that I planted on Thursday:








And of course we can't forget my thriving gem:





I covered it with chicken wire just for added protection against unforeseen threats, but at this rate she's going to bust right through it. I also fimmed her, although I fear I may have gone too low. But I'll have to wait and see.


Thank you to all who are watching.

Thanks GHG. Not exactly as great as what you've got going on, but I'm trying my best.


Well here's an update.


My five little ones. Coming on strong:





The California Orange is the tiny one at the bottom left. It's struggling a bit, but it's starting to catch up now.


I've had a few problems with leafminers however they only seem to be going for the bottom, 3-fingered leaves. I cut all of the affected leaves off.



My large plant seems to be doing extremely well. I super cropped two of the lower branches and they appear to be growing slightly faster than any of the other branches. I'm a bit afraid to try super crop the main stem at this point as it's starting to get quite thick and I don't want to ruin it. Here she is, just a little over 1 month old:





I also have a bit of Basil and Parsley going on the side. I've read that Basil is somewhat of a pest deterrent, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to grow some in the vicinity.


I haven't fed this Basil anything and it's taking off like a rocket. This is some good stuff.


Anyway, that's a wrap for now. Until next time.

 

Hey guys. I took some nice pics of my babies today and I thought I'd share them with you wonderful people.



I've taken the chicken wire off of my main plant as she was starting to get a bit squashed by it. I've scattered basil cuttings in the hopes that the scent will deter and sneaky animals or bugs.


Here she is, in all her glory:





I've counted 12 auxiliary branches on this plant. I've never witnessed such vigorous growth before. All my plants get a weekly dose of the aforementioned Nitrosol, and it seems to be doing wonders. I can almost hear this plant grow.


Here are the rest of the Skunk crew. Looking dashing, as always:



My Cali Orange. Sort of starting to take off. She has her first set of five-fingered leaves now:



And lastly, my two latest additions:



I'm basically constantly germinating new seeds because I didn't anticipate the volume of dwarfs I was going to get this year. If I can just get another one like my main girl going, I'll be happy.


Peace out,
cнσcσℓαтε ℓσg.

 

I've heard of symbiotic relationships between plants, but fighting? I'm going to research that for sure. Thanks for dropping by man, I appreciate it.
