During my youth while I was investing in wine women and song I smoked wreckreationally. I knew it stopped nausea. Had cancer surgery five years ago and was having a recurrence this year. Radiation was the protocol. Knowing I was gonna get beamed and get the side effects I planted a pakalolo to use and got a mmj card.
Ive always gardened well and figured Id take advantage of the long summer light here and do it outdoors. A friend gave me 5 feminized seeds he got from BC Bud Depot. They were in one package he labeled BC Mango, Northern Lights. I planted one seed, 4/20, along with my garden seedlings under t5 grow lights. Transplanted it into really rich organic compost I make. Moved it outdoors to a choice location all the while hoping it would be female. As it matured a grower was able to tell me yes, it was a lady, its root bound, and it wont flower out here. He cut some clones for me.
I got a dual hid 400w light. I prepped a room and moved her inside on 12/12 a week ago. She was 5 tall so I took a chance and gently splinted the top over so all the tops were close in height. Ive got a small tent on the way to keep the clone as a mother and germ another seed.
Ive really been enjoying this. Ive made a butt load of mistakes and learned some too. Shes seen temp swings from a high of 80 to a low of 45. Had almost 24hr light during solstice. Been wilted twice. Spent all last weekend in the dark cause I had f-ed up the timer settings. She was root bound awhile too. Didnt cull the lower branches. Never used ferts until last week, relied on the compost, now its 1/2 mix of 9-45-15 every 3rd water.
Im amazed at how tough and resilient it is. Her current home is pretty good, its what I could manage short notice. Nice light and good control of it, decent air movement with a fan, temp gets to 78 at night and cools to 72 by morning. Im working on some kind of reflector to put around it to make use of all the light. Im told odors gonna be intense soon, I may charcoal filter the air in that room.
I have a couple questions... I noticed some yellow on the interior of the small fan leaves after it was dark 2 nights and it appears to be resolving, any concerns? What kind of plant do you think it is? It looks sativa to me, tall, lanky, thin leaves. Any educated guesses as to how long this thing will take to flower and mature from now? How much bigger might it get and can I keep gently training it as needed? Fert suggestions? Filter suggestions? Thanks
