L.A Con X Romulan (Grow Journal)

This is a grow Journal from seeds.

I got these seeds from a friend of mine who made this few years ago and I was amazed by it so I decided to give it a try.

My first grow since 2011, now that I am retired and finally all my time now is mine. I decided to go back on growing some herbs
This is a small project nothing professional here. My plan is to keep at least one plant growing since I don't consume much (maybe 3 to 4 plants a year)

I germinated 4 seeds hoping to get at least one female.

25th Feb 2016



Picked the healthiest looking seeds and soaked them for 72 hours.

on the 29th they emerged from soil

Your soil looks muddy. Watch out for overwatering.

Growing outdoors?

Thanks for stopping by Hessam
You're right the soil is mostly clay, this is dirt straight from my yard that was baked with some organic compost (mostly dead leaves of last season veggies) but I live in landlocked area (very dry and hot climate) so it should not be a problem
I will keep my plants in pots but I will move them outdoors and indoors.

Things are moving slow here but good. I lost one due to my clumsiness so I am left with 3 now.
I am debating myself of letting them veg longer than 30 days and do the topping and all the stuff that will achieve more yield, and I am out of weed and I need to get my meds ASAP! I still can't make up my mind. We'll see tomorrow if I will switch them to 12\12 or not.

I started mine exactly almost the same time 3/4 days difference .

I would say that they are alittle bit slow!

Maybe the soil is not perfect I would say.

Also there is something going with the tips of the leafs, cant really say from the pic.

If you topped now expect more dealy of at least 7/10 days.

All the best.

Thanks Bubblegum31 for your wishes, I think you're right its slower than average, but then again depends on strain too, some grows slower than others in veg state. this soul is a bit tight too so you could be right, regarding the tips yeah they looks like they are tipped off but am not worried, gotta keep my fingers crossed and hope for the better
Cheers buddy and thanks again.

Right, I decided to transplant them to bigger pots and give them a week then switch to 12\12. I will not top\fem them.
Plant #3 roots was damaged severely due to my clumsiness. I think I lost more than half of root mass :\
Oh well shit happens I guess.

April 4th
4th day in 12\12 everything looking good so far with exception of #3 it still hasn't bounced off but I think it will within few days, I really damaged the roots :\

April 12th 2016

Today saw all of them starting to mature and produce their alternating branches and I can 80% confirm that #1 and #2 are females and #3 is male which is so great! and consider my self very lucky

So today I took some pics of pistils and male sacks, and I can say am 100% sure now I got 2 females and one male!
It's amazing the deference since yesterday, I find it fascinating

April 15th 2016

I made 8 clones, 4 cuttings from each female and put them inside my DIY cloner (25L fish aquarium) under 24 light.
I think I will keep one mother from #2 as she smells wonderful but I must wait and see resin production.
So far everything is great

April 22nd 2016

Everything is growing smoothly and clones has bounced back and roots are established
I must say this strain is very easy to clone I had 100% success with not so optimal conditions.

I decided to keep the male and pollinate a branch on #2 for she has a wonderful scent, I think she will be a killer smoke. At veg state she had this wonderful citrus\sour amazing smell, after the transition to flowering phase a very musky\earthy smell kicked and over powered everything. More powerful than #1 for she maintained the sourness.

Clones are doing great

May 1st

Everything is moving on nicely, pretty much auto pilot.

May 6th

I decided to keep #2 clones and kill the rest.
#2 is superior in structure, aroma and if am not mistaken yield. At the end; quality is better than quantity.

May 13th

Resin started to show few days ago and the smell from #2 is very intense and super concentrated.
Beautiful plant and I feel blessed

May 20th
I'm in love

Maybe 2 weeks left I would say for #2 to be ready, #1 still behind.

May 28th
Plant #1 just exploded with trichomes and filled up like there is no tomorrow!
Plant #2 has more kush like structure from the start, buds are denser and with fatter pistils. Both almost smell same but #2 has more hashy aroma which I adore more.

So I will keep both of them and will flower 1 from each pheno which is even better.

Here are some pics I made yesterday.

June 3rd

#2 is down
#1 still going I think another week or so she will be ready too, still more than 90% clear heads.
