Update on the 3 new beans

So all 3 of the glue breath beans came up within 48 hours. But I think the seed casings were a little hardened on them because I had to peel it off of ALL THREE of them. It took a full day for #1's head to turn after that, but they have all managed to wake up and look at the light. I was worried about #1 and #3 for a bit.
Two of them have started to show sign of their first set of trues already too. I was very surprised they were so vigorous after 4 years in a tube, but they are excited to be here!

I also have a clone of the glue breath, the original one, to grow next to these at the same time, to compare them with her. This is what she looks like. I got roots on her 2 days ago.

I know she's a little bit bigger, but it won't matter in a few weeks. This plant has such THICK growth, I will defoliate several times in veg, and at least twice in flower. Yes, I know its a little unusual to defoliate in flower, but with her you HAVE TO or all you will get is a bunch of larfiness with some beautiful top buds the size of ping pong balls. she throws ping pong balls all the way down her stalk. they never merge. I love them that way, though. I think the buds all get a chance to mature better that way.

Great photo's and good job. I am subbed into learn and share. I have grown a few Mephisto's strains and love em.
 
why thank you! I'm in the process of filling up my blog with what I currently have growing. I'm perpetually harvesting, planting, and there's always something interesting going on. Not only my glue breath, but i also have 5 mystery seeds I dropped at the same time. Its just the GB was just so strong, they popped up within 48 hrs of planting (from a soak till they sank) . I'll be starting a journal on them when they come up. I would love to share and get help with those too because I have no idea what they are! they could be literally anything cannabis.
 
Very nice. I'm all for the keeping of genetics by smaller growers, and that looks a lovely plant. I had a similar issue myself, with a Jamaican Haze & was rewarded with a single lovely female in the last seed.

Can't wait to see more.

Me either. The one i have of her growing now, is really a pain to deal with. She get light stressed SO easy. does NOT like more than 14 hours of light, period. and she HATES LED light. Once I drop her down to 12/12 , and her spectrum changes some, she goes from a light green, scraggly streesed out mama to the lush tree you see in the photo with the DARK leaves(blue background). They look like two different plants. If you dont do at least 2 drastic trims, and some intensive training out,you won't get much but some amazing tops, and a whole lotta larf. She was one of my first 5 plants to pop (the other 4 were mephisto)and she's the primary reason I've gotten as good at shaping plants as I have. It would be nice to get both a male and female out of these seeds. She reminds me so much of that old school Northern Lights I used to get, and you don't see much anymore. drives me crazy not knowing her lineage

unfortunately, all my seeds were female:( my search continues for a male like her. It was funny, NEITHER of her sisters was anything like her either. One I call Lemon Funk, I'm keeping her. the other was soso. skinny, not a lot of bud. REALLY weak stems. flopping all over the place. My chances of finding a male thats like her now, are slim to none. You just dont see Northern Lights out there much anymore... unless I'm missing a strain? You got any suggestions for a Nor Lights-leaning male? I was REALLY hoping that one of them would be a male.
