Omg this crazy thing grew like 2" in every direction in one day lol! I had to spend some time tucking everything again. Skyler Skywalker is turning out to be quite the rockstar we hoped!
In other news, the Med Gom 1.0 is finally culled. I gathered the last round of pollen bananas, and they're drying out a little for a couple days, then will be sifted per usual for the feminized pollen.
Since the plant took heavy doses of STS, I most certainly wasn't going to consume any of it. It occurred to me that burying it deep would be the most ethical means of disposal. I couldn't throw it in the trash and risk anyone finding it and consuming it, nor could I just toss it outdoors and risk it spreading pollen to the wild. So I dug a nice deep hole, chopped it up, and buried it upside down and deep. Done.
There'll be some well medicated earthworms along in awhile maybe haha!
So now what?
I'll be deep freezing the Med Gom 1.0 pollen for a future test cross. In a few weeks, the Skywalker will have filled out the screen satisfactorily and be ready for 12/12. Shortly before the switch, I'll be taking some cuttings to clone and test.
After a couple weeks in the cloning chamber, the clones will be moved to small pots to the tent at 12/12 directly. A couple clones will be a control group, I need to see how it handles doing straight to 12/12. A couple clones will be reversed hopefully, I want to see how it reverses, and I'm going back to Tiresia's Mist for the remainder of the project. Lastly I may pollinate one clone with the test Med Gom 1.0 pollen and see if it's viable.
That's pretty much the plan for the remainder of this grow round. Next round will be even more exciting. As a bonus, Skyler should provide a nice bumper haul of medicine to allow for more experimenting in the next round...providing I don't screw it up too badly haha.
