So.. big night last night. I'm pissed that I couldn't get on the site after my heralding earlier. My pics are already uploaded, as I'm typing this, though, so you should enjoy.
I took my first clone last night. The Citral #1 lost its head and cried all over itself (literally.. kinda sad!), but the cut was clean and I'm feeling confident about it. I still need a plastic bag over that clone, though. I might also clip its wings, too, as I read it shouldn't be trying to support big vegetation while it's trying to root.
I also got a wild hair up my ass for wielding the blade and decided to clear a path for Beatrice's newer shoots on her side. I'm really glad I did, too. By this morning (lights overnight in my gear), she had twisted her body to expose a site that had been underneath and there was a shitload of new growth from those exposed sites. There are more hairs than there were last night, too. I have 3-4 nodes with hairs out of 8-9 total. I need a spurt of growth from her somehow, as I'm contemplating cloning instead of re-veg. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
Also, I noticed my flower case smelled a little.. familiar.. last night. I couldn't place it. The Top44s have a mild vegetable smell to them. The Citral seedling smells VAGUELY lemony. Then, I picked up Bag1. I took a close whiff of it and smelled pungent grapefruit and gasoline.
It's definitely Diesel, but I think it's NYC Diesel, due to the grapefruit smell. Not for nothing, but I've blazed pounds and pounds of both SD and NYCD over the past 7 years or so and several years ago, moved a bit. I know I've gotten the VERY occassional seed from both, too. Diesels are some of the most common strains in my region and have been for YEARS. Those and Hindu Kush are the most common here, by far. More so, even, than brickweed schwag.
Anyways, I digress. Bud porn up tonight, for certain. Without further adieu..
