I should have known better. I've seen it happen before. I was even hoping it would happen again. And yet, when it did, I was amazed! To see a sprout spring, from a STONE DEAD clone is nothing short of miraculous! I regret the ones I've tossed in the past, no telling how many of them would have survived. Now, not many have the space or patience to let a pot sit apparently :"doing nothing" for months, but that's what it takes. This example I'm going to show you was started in an aerocloner. When it grew roots 6" long, I put it in a pot of soil, somewhere around the middle of august.

I put the pot in mt testing/breeding cab under LED/CFL lighting. I kept it watered lightly. Fopr a couple weeks she just sat there and did nothing, when I expected her to take off growing. NOPE! As usual, she sat there and slowly began to look sickly. But I kept watering and waiting. She looked real bad a couple weeks ago, slightly shriveled but still green. I stopped watering her about 7-10 days, except for maybe a few drops to moisten the surface. In the pic, you can see the soil is dry and shrunken. It was still somewhat green Saturday. I went to NH to visit friends on Sunday. I came home on Monday. I was very tired and didn't even check my plants till bed time. I opened the cab and.......... Holy shit!

I couldn't believe my eyes, even though Its happened for me before. I had a sprout in the pot and a VERY dead clone!

What strange beast is this! It can't be Cannabis! No one can say their Canna has ever done this!

And this is one of the reasons I believe this is a throwback strain, as old and out of sync with the world as the rest of the ecology in Australia. I'm talking about my Ducksfoot! Not that Wally Duck hybrid crap, the real deal, unobtainium, landrace, Ducksfoot. You don't believe it? Well, I'm going to clone this girl when she's big enough, and I'm going to document this phenomenon from day one till it sprouts. In the meantime, /here are photos of this Phoenix:

Without a doubt! The first time I saw this I was floored. I had a clone in a pot and it was wasting away. I figured it was dead finally, so I stopped watering it but I didn't toss it, I don't know why. It had dried out, for a week - 10 days. I was watering the other plants and I watered that pot, again, for no good reason. The next day, I had a 2" sprout! After doing 3 more intentionally, I figured out this was normal for Ducksfoot!

Lazarus strain
