You do good work my friend.

lol. You do great work. I am striving to get there.

Damn near killed my cuttings by putting them out in the sun. They are unlikely to take roots. They look very sad…

Be careful putting cuttings directly in the sun. Set them on the porch until they get use to the heat.

My thinking was that they were accustomed to the sun but I think being wrapped in plastic wrap and using black plastic pots made for an oven affect. They will try to live in my front picture window. It gets morning sun and my last clone was happy there. It was dumb of me to try to push the envelope…

Found some webbing on the Freaks this morning. The leaves don’t have the typical white spots I usually see with spider mites but I found a couple with my loupe. Bummer. I don’t like spraying my girls in flower but I broke out the spinosad and gave all 3 a good soaking.

Got one peeking out if the ground. Note to self- pick up some fake flowers to fool Mrs Fogey…

Good chance at this stage of our lives I dont think we can fool anybody ...!

Green pistils and white pistils…

Clones are toast so no ‘keeper’…

I managed to get 2 of 10 clones going, but of course mine is a male. Other clones started with no issues, so I'm blaming the strain...

Mine were fine until I stupidly put them out in full sun. They got cooked. I blame the strain too…

Also, have any of your male flowers opened? Some of mine appear to be open but are not dropping any pollen. The male flowers on mine are unusually green similar to the green pistils on one of the females.

Imagine you are reading the plants wrong and the males are the females

Same here. I took a couple of branches and dried them, but I don't think there was much if any pollen in the nanners on those branches. I thought I would wait one more week and try again.

I will turn in my Growers card if that is the case…

A couple years ago, I was able to clip off branches with male flower clusters and put the stem in a glass of water and in a few days, the flowers opened.

Maybe a he she? It was very hard to decide to sex these plants and even the female looks different. Hopefully mine will start to stack in some way soon. I think the bloom is 63 days so that would make it late October I think…

That is what I figured too. I’m hoping for a dry fall.

 

[SubmarineGirl]

I need some fall weather to kick in at my house. This heat and humidity is killing me. My two plants left outside and my little freak need a break. The leaves are starting to fall now so hopefully we will get some relief soon.
