The KM x B/CB should be tall plants in the end...really tall. Yet the late planting may keep them shorter eh...whew! it has been a long and ugly past month for your friend heady blunts.
the good news is the plants are in their containers. the soil felt great as i was planting, and hopefully everyone should take off. i might still pull off a decent crop!
the bad news is that they are back at my flakey friend's house. so everyone please keep your fingers crossed that we'll make it to harvest with no disasters.
everything is set up to be as foolproof as possible. no sprays, no feeding, nada. just keep them watered and the soil will do the rest.
i've told my friend the best thing he can do for the plants is play his guitar and sing to them.
i'm expecting a clutch of males. they will be removed when i get back from a trip in a couple weeks. i plan to take cuttings of the studliest plants and flower out little males for controlled pollination.
besides the six seed lines that i had slated for OD this year, i also recently popped 8 beans that arrived in a most generous care package from a friend tiphat.
i couldn't resist squeezing in the kali mist x burmese/cherry bomb and the NL/haze lines into my OD this year. germinated four seeds of each. i totally neglected the poor things so they survived by their cotyledons alone for the last two weeks. only one perished in that time (an NL/haze seedling, RIP).
SO, here we are, just as july is coming to a close, and i've got a bit of hope again. i promise to post up some pictures over the next few weeks as things start to get exciting.
thanks to everyone for the support!
PS--- VG, thanks for the topping tip. great idea.
DF, i gave your FBPK pick her own #10!
