well he is still alive and kicking, i plan on getting everything set up today, tent and such, so the female satori can flower for a week, i want more seeds then she has preflowers right now so im going to let her flower for a week or so, at this moment the tentative "date" is next weekend, like the 8th or 9th, unless she doesnt have as many pistils as id like, id really like to be able to get 50-60 seeds minimum from her, not looking for hundreds or id wait a lot longer before the 2 of them get together for some sexy fun time lol... id really like to get a good bunch of seeds, since i choose this male as opposed to the lankier one, id like to find some females from the batch of seeds that share that stocky and compact structure like the male has, although i havnt grown out nearly as many plants as some people around here, i have found that i too prefer the shorter bushier plants as opposed to ones that will stretch like mad in flower, i hate having to adjust tables and crates to make sure one lanky plant is far enough away from my lights... plus the shorter bushier plants just look so much better in my opinion...
and yes Rose, what fun... its so interesting to grow out a male, what a learning experience, the only "male-ish" experience iv had was with a much earlier grow with a bagseed, the whole crop of 6 hermied on me around week 6 or 7 in flower, so seeing buds with random nanners is the extent of my interaction/experience with males flowers... an actual male is just so different then the females and so interesting, and this one in particular, im liking it a lot actually, there is a fair amount of trichomes on the leaves especially the undersides closest to the stem of the leaves, and even the branches/stalk of the plant, its quite sticky and smells ooh so good... ill get some pics and such of the female in the tent and their sexy fun day in the bathroom lol.
things are just now starting to really take off, the female is recovering from overwatering/transplant and the clones are doing really well, i woke up to them all wilted and i just watered 2 days ago so they are definitely ready to be transplanted, as are the Nurse Larry (4), they are now all on their 3rd set of leaves and on one the seed leaves are starting to be consumed so they are ready for xplant as they need food... so today is a big day for me lol iv got a lot of work to do.
ps, thanks for stopping in Rose. i guess males and vegging females just dont really catch many peoples interests...
