Hi Star! I know you have run a lot of seeds so please feel free to tune me up if there's something you think may help me get those other rascals to join the game. I'm feeling fairly embarrassed. My first run of germinating or cloning that didn't get really good results. Fails happen, I know, but I just figured they only happened to other people.

Both parents are fem, so they should all be females but that's part of the testing: Do they show female and, if so, do they stay female?

The four that did germinate are in the baby giraffe stage of life

That's fine considering no dry time on the seeds. I'm more interested in how the plants perform. I can do germ testing in 60 days.

Well, I've tried what I can but still no roots from the other six.



I will try nipping the ends off of the seeds and put them onto cups to see what happens in the next few days but I think if they were going to germ, they would have.

The pic below shows how they looked last night. When I checked in this morning, one of the four had toppled over sideways, I guess from too weak of a stalk.



I up potted them into solo cups before going to work this morning. I buried all of them at east half way up their stalks when i up potted. The one that bent over, bottom left in the pic, still looks fine this evening so hopefully nothing too lethal

nice!

The 5 I got have the same leaves.

Still bummed about my germ ratio but that's what I've got. I'm moving on.

Since there's only four of them, I might just go with bigger pots than I have been using (been using the 3 L airpots) and go for bigger plants in an HKxTK monocrop.

I could also just run them with some other plants in a shared run.

Before you offered to have me do a test, I was considering running some gifted GG4's and Sour Diesels in my next go round. I don't know that Sour Diesel would be a good tent mate for these plants. How does the height and spread of HK and TK compare to GG4?

I'd rather give you purer answers, so right now I'm leaning towards four larger plants. We'll see how early veg goes

HK does not have a big stretch, maybe 1x. . TK will stretch 2x.. I cant say what we will see yet.. These are the 1st to get run.

OK that helps. I have 6 seeds left of a Loompa cross of his headband by AJ's SD that I ran last summer. They didn't stretch that much in my hands so maybe that would be a good tent grouping if I go for more than just these four. They're regs though, so if I do it, I'll need to watch close. I could also clone off my LVPK and use those to fill in the tent. Still leaning to just running these. Will think on it while I have some veg time.
