Great selection you got there, good luck with everything.
Small update today.
More plants are declaring their sex and building flowers.
For the Lebs, in addition to #2, #3 is also throwing pistils. #1 Is building a dense cluster on top that's looking like male flowers.
The Nepalis are also progressing, with three entering flower. #s 1 and 5 both appear to be males, with that dense clustering of oblong buds without pistils. They're also getting very purple on the tips of the unopened flowers. #3 appears to have a pair of tiny pistils.
Everything else is still vegging. The PNG is gorgeous, the Flo is big and stinky, the Durbans are healthy, and the Thai x Laos are, with the exception of #1, vigorous and beautiful. Unfortunately, #1 succumbed to insect damage and overwatering from the big storms that have been rolling through, and came right out of the soil with a gentle tug. So it goes.
I'm wondering if the early plants are going to get much bigger, or if they're just going to turn into little budsticks. I'll check out the 12/12 from seed thread, but If anyone has experience that they'd like to share, I'd love to hear about it. If It's more likely they'll stay small, I might just keep them in their pots instead of planting them out. I imagine the NLDs, Flos, and Durbans will still need to be planted out, as it seems they'll be vegging for a bit longer and they'll be more difficult to hide among other plants.
Thanks for reading!
Wow, those are compact! Thanks for the input, Dave. I only read about 25 pages of the 12/12 from seed thread, and in between the bickering, I saw final yields from 3 to 21 grams per plant. Do you remember how much yours weighed? And how long did they take to finish?
If I'm counting correctly, that last one was only about 6 nodes total. Hard to tell for sure though, when the bud leaves are almost as big as the fans.
How strong was the aroma from those little guys? I'm guessing the seeds in the ace mix weren't homogenous, so you couldn't compare the minis to a full sized plant of the same variety.
I'm debating whether it would be worth planting out the ones that are starting to flower at the 4th/5th node and risking them being eaten or dug up by animals if they're only going to get to 8 or 10 inches and finish in the next 1.5-2 months. If they wouldn't draw attention to themselves, I might just keep them, or at least scout a location closer to home where I could check up on them more frquently.
I might just start planting out this weekend with the PNG and see how things progress with the others over the next week. Or, I'll put it off another week. I have a hard time letting go.
