Both gals are healthy but they are really showing different genetics now.

Day 64 Daiquiri Lime
Ah yes, the non twins.
The one on the left is getting fatter and building trichs. She looks like she might finish at her alleged 77 days.
The one on the right-idk whats going on her. She seems to have doubled in size in 2 days. Still no budding.
One weirdo is both have gone from dark green to more of a lime? green.

HARVEST DATE:

DRY WEIGHT:

3 seeds went into h20/h202 on the 11th. Went into coffee filter the 12th and planted in SIP the 14th. 2 of them seem very excited to get going. 1---not so much. I'll let her languish for a bit more and if she pops, I got a special place for her.
One thing I've noticed since changing to the knf thing is the main stems don't seem as thick and they appear to be a little slower getting going compared to when I was using the Homegrown Microbe Bokashi. So I'm going to add a bit of it to the water.

Day 77
Since there wasn't a single sign of budding, I decided the topped gal was not an auto and chopped her down. I had the same issue with a Copacabana gal.
The one that I let go natural showed 15-20% amber so she got dropped and is hanging. I think she did well considering both plants were in 5 gals of soil.

The first try with Durban Sunrise, I got the germed seeds planted and on the 2nd day, I woke to find they had disappeared! I don't know what but something was hungry. Now the weather is cooling down and the bugs are starting to die off. This time I put the germies into solo cups (actually paper coffee cups.Week after week when we have to cleanup the spectator and pit areas, there is just sooo much plastic on the ground. Trying to be a little more green.) All 3 seeds popped. Picture is from Day 7. The plan is to plant 1 & 2 into 27 gallon sip and since 3 is a bit leggy, I'm gonna try her as my first from scratch bonzai. I'll transplant 1 &2 tomorrow and probably wait a week to see how long the roots are on #3

I wish I could say the past week was all nice and peaceful. Instead it was more like a nuclear attack.

Cool weather got the damn ants thinking they could move inside. Tryin all kinds of traps and constant spraying. I "think" I finally got a handle on them. The girls seem like they may be about a week behind but otherwise ok. The mix of soap/cider vinegar and baking soda doesn't seem to have harmed them but I think it did kill off the nematodes. Not sure yet if it affected the worms. I'll have to treat em to an avocado.

Durban Sunrise pt2 Day 1
Since I already have a box going with 2 DS in it, I'm going to try 1 in one big box. It's been a bit of a pain running 2 gals to a box and where they get so crowded, I'm not sure I'm really getting that much more- if any.
Seems I've been getting a number of small seeds lately and just getting them going has been painful. The pack of Durbans I got are mostly good size and even good color.
I put 1 in water for 24 hrs, then coffee filter for 2 days and voila! This is how I like to seeds germ. About 3/4" taproot and shell is nicely opened.

Durban Sunrise Day 49
They just blew up. The 2 plants look like one big one. Went from a gal of water a week to 2. Think I'm going to wrestle her out into my open space so she can spread out some. Getting in to trim them is a bit of a pita. They have started to flower so I've added the Full Bloom Extract and Water Soluble Calcium to the mix as well as Homegrown Bokashi Bloom mix.
The size of the leaves on all the Twenty20 gals have been--impressive. Got a feeling when I trim these they are going to be like a sheepdog with its summer cut.

Durban Sunrise Day 54
Hands up! What more do I need to say? A pic is worth a 1000 words

Other than I got to get on the maid about cleaning the mirrors.
And they are sprouting some buds. I moved them out of the tight space so they can catch some more light and they're diggin it. Gave em a gallon of tea today from BAS Buildaflower, Craft Blend, Buildabloom and TM7. Not that they seem to need it. Just like to change thing up a bit

Been so long since I've updated, figured I just group em together.
The big boxers are at day 68 and starting to look stunning. All leaves and buds on the right side have got a nice purple/black hue to them.
They keep on praying.

The bigger girl is day 22. She's been topped and being stretched to fill the box. Despite the lighter color, leaves are all up. This seems to be the way this line runs- they'll darken up with time.( at least for me). Looking forward to see what she does being in a big box by herself.

The little one started out in a solo cup and was pretty much a runt. Wasn't sure she was going to make it but I checked her roots and they were coming out the bottom so I put her in the gallon bag and now she's coming around.

This is my first serious attempt at a bonsai. IDK, she's got to be about 2 months old.
Buds and leaves are turning the same purple/black color
My next effort may be a regular fem so I can let her veg longer/grow bigger

I think I'm all caught up
